PA. LINCOLN Q/Grris Ww Ewm 4 LTHOUGH the event is yet two years preparations are going for- ward rapidly for the two-hundredth anniver- sary celebration of Wash- ington’s birthday the great- est event of its kind ever held in this country. Six years ago President Cool idge appointed a distin- guished group citizens from every part of the United States, with himself as ex officio chairman, known as the United States Commis sion for the Celebration of the Birth of George Washington to prepare a plan. Since that time the commission has been considering some forty different suggestions fer the nation-wide cele bration but the only plan that has thus far been definitely adopted is that for the systeinatic publication of works by and about Washington. This plan was drawn up by Dr, Albert Bushnell Hart, professor of history at Harvard uni versity and historian of the commis ®ion, The plan in detail ealls for the fol- lowing publications: 1. George Washington (Reading With a Purpese), written by Doctor Hart, and recently issued by the com- mission, te be circulated by the com- mission in quantities, 2. Select reading lists on Georg Washington. A proposed search of best hooks on Washington, intended to stimulate purchase of Washington books by individuals and school and other libraries, such lists to be eircu- lated by the commission, especially to schools, 3. A George Washington map. A sizeable wall map on paper or cloth costing in quantities about 10 cents each, to be sent free by the commis- sion to any school room asking for it, as a means of bringing the commission and its work home to hundreds of thousands of school children and their elders, 4.

It was early decided that the 1042 celebration was not to be a material expression of the importance of the event in the form of a “world's fair” or exposition of its physical resources and the development of its arts, sel. ences and industries. However, the commission of fine arts and the nation- al park and planning commission, which are co-operating with the bi centennial commission in planning the principal observance of the event, to be held in the city which bears Wash. ington's name, hopes that a number of major projects, all of which are close ly linked with the bicentennial cele bration idea, will be completed by 1032 Chief among these are the following: The Arlington Memorial bridge, now well along in construction and virtu- ally certain to be completed by the bicentennial year. Completion of the monument gar. dens at the base of the Washington monument, originally proposed in the 1901 plan for Washington and urged by city planners since, Completion of the arboretum and the national botanical garden, Completion of the proposed Mount Vernon boulevard between the west end of the Arlington bridge and the home of George Washington.

Outstanding among these projects is the Mount Vernon memorial boule vard, Construction Las been com menced on this by the bureau of pub- lie roads of the Department of Agri- culture, It is to extend from the Vir ginia end of the new bridge connect. ing the Lincoln memorial with the Arlington National cemetery to Mount Vernon along the Potomac river, a distance of 15% miles, This highway, which will be 200 feot wide, will be one of the finest boule- vards In the country and will offer easy access to Mount Vernon, Wash ington's home, Congress has appro- priated funds for the boulevard, the initial cost being $4.500000, It has been suggested that to each of the 13 colonies ghould be allowed a mile of road for such state tablets and archi. tectural treatment as may be desired will include detailed re and cam maps all his military the local is known every king possible fon inhabited visited: house and THE WASHIITGIOIT TONITE : — : QO Harris wks 4 GE.
