MONEY IS IN SIGHT FOR
DR. BROOME'S SCHOOL PLAN
Hut Se Much Mere Will Be Needed Be
fore All the Old Buildings Can Be Dis
placed That EtnTnjrance Must Be
Avoided by All Public Officials
rpili: financial e.perts of the Scheel Heard
have apparently found a way by which
the building program recommended by Su
perintendent lltoeme can be carried out
within two or three years without Increasing
the annual rote of taxation for school pur
poses. They have prepared n budget for 102.1
which provides for the payment of all sal
aries, the purchase of supplies and fuel and
for the interest and sinking fund payments
en the school debt, and at the same time
leaves ,."li'..7lM.,i(i te be devoted in what
ever way seems bet te the enlargement and
improvement of the school plant. And all
this is done within the tax of i'4 mills en
the dollar, the current rate.
New it Is possible te tire this sum, in
exte.ss of half a million dollars, te carry n
lean of from $0,000,000 te fS.OOO.OOO te be
devoted te putting up new buildings and
replacing the old buildings unfit for use.
This sum lias been made available without
nny increase in the tax rate because of the
ir.crense in the assessed valuation of the
taxable property. As it will be a con
tinuing mm te be raised rneli eur, it will
be sufficient te carry the lean te its ma
turity and te liquidate the bends when they
fall due.
Tt is confidently expected that there will
be a similar Increase In the assessed valua
tion of taxable property next year and that
the new revenue thnt will accrue from the
tax levy nt the same rate will provide a
f. mil large enough te carry another lean,
which, with the lean proposed, will amount
te semetliine like .l.".000.0fi0. rh sum
ncrded te put up the buildings which Dr. j
I'roeme has said ought te be erected with
out delay.
Ilffere anj thing an be done, however, it
will he necessary for the Scheel Heard te
ratify the recommendation" of its Finance
Committee. Then the lean can be floated
and the work of construction can begin.
The plan includes the erection of one or
two senior high schools, eighteen junior hifth
schools nr.d a large number of elmentarj 1
schoe's tn different parts of the city.
When these buildings are cemp'eteij pre
visions wiil have been made only for the
most pressing liec-ds of the school system.
Tlier de net provide for future increase in
the school population and thy de net dis
place all the out-of-date budding.
The school pinnt has been neg'ertcd for
se tnnn." car- that it has been estimated
that nt If 11st .?0,(Mi0,Hi0 ve.ild be needed
be put it in such condition that it would no
longer b" nectssary te send children into
I cements t.i be taught or te put them 111
poorly lighted rooms e- in buildings in
adequately ln-ntul and v.itlv,ut modern
sanitary . envenlenees. Hut S1.",000,OM will
de something In the richt direction.
The fact that the rinante Committee of
the Scheel Heard lias reached the conclu
sion that Dr. P.roeme's prclimina-y reeom reeem reeom
'Herniatiens ran be carried out indi-ates that
its members are nlcrt te the rr.su at d hare
divided te de what can be done te meet it.
Ve there remains the problem of tearing
down all the antiquated structures and re
placing them with modern buildings in mete
convenient locations. The-c thin;- cannot
be dei.e without the exper.ditute of large
s-ims of money, nil of which must cur.e ul '
matelj out of the pockets of the tnxpa:ers.
Although 'he Scheel Heard tnak's :ts own

RETORT COURTEOUS
AN INVPIISION of the relationship of
guest and host is at first suggested by
the announcement thnt the Tufted States
lias been invited by the Central American
republics te participate n the enferencc
which will open in Washington one week
from today.
The situation, however. Is net qulle se
tepsyturvy ns It superficially appears.
While it Is true that the conclave program

and Panama, te promote order and recip
rocal confidences there, le limit armament.
suppress revolutionary activities and estab
lish foundations of mutual progress was
originally a North American conception, the
official part te be plajed by the Pnlted
States in the sessions was net at the outset
clearly defined.
Invitations te the Governments of Guate
mala. Salvader, Honduras, Cestn Blcn and
Nicaragua te dispatch their envejs te Wash
ington te ill.....-,, problems of common In-tere.-t
were sent out by the Slate Depart
ment. Acceptances of the five countries
followed, but there remained the possibility
of the I'nlted States assuming merely an
unofficial advisory role, as in the Tncna
Arica parley between Chile nnd Peru.
Prnetlcnl difficulties and diplomatic deli
cacies of such a status are new sensibly re
moved by the cordial offer of partnership.
The conference becomes one of six nations
instead of five, nnd the I'nlted States,
te which the inspiration of the meeting may
he tinced, is thus spared the embarrassment
of seeming, with whatever excellent inten
tions, te patronize the little repub" '. but
assuming a position of ostensible detachment,
actually influential, but without formal re
sponsibilities. The preliminary accom
plishment is a happy one and augurs favor
ably for the execution of a constructive and
ii' ually beneficial program.
It is mere than probable that the eventual
result will be the negotiation of a six-Power
treaty of friendship and co-operation in
addition te covenants between the five tropi
cal republics. The completion of both acts
will contain the premise of a new era for
Central America.
If the suppression of the kind of political
brigandage Involving the innptien of revo
lutionary movements by unscrupulous lead
ers protected by convenient frontiers can be
achieved, steps toward an authentic union
of Central America, premises of which have
been se disheartcnlngly broken for nearly
a century, might be taken with comparative
ease.
The maintenance of nrmle out of all
proportion te the real needs of the five
states se similar in origin and social and
1 racial structure is, of course, an absurd
anil cetly, as it is in many instances a
tragic, absurdity.
The path toward a firm and consistent
union of the republics and toward helpful
relations with the United States untainted
with apprehensions and suspicions urlslng
from misunderstandings is plainly laid out
for the conference.
This Government stands net merely as 0
mighty, august nnd tee consciously superior
parent, but as a comrade and fellow worker
In the Inspiring cause of Amerlc" soli
darity. It Is an auspicious prelude te ses-
Ri,)r.s that tuny prove in their ultimate ion-
sequences t

AS ONE WOMAN SEES IT
Werk of the Scheel of Occupational
Therapy Full of Human Interest.
Physical and Nervous Wrecks
Arc Salvaged und Made '
Useful Citizens
ny SARAH D. LOWKIE
A DOCTOIt was complaining te me net
long since thnt everything In this town
was arranged for the peer sick and very
Iltf e for the rich sick.
hat, for instance?" 1 asked him.
"well." s.'id he, "take the matter of
occupational therapy. I want u teacher for
two or three nervous patients a couple of
hours; n day each. I could keep one teacher
about busy. I find them out et the Phila
delphia General, I find them 1 the chll
men s wards at ether hospitals. 1 find them
mi a number of wards at 'he Pennsylvania.
TllCV CO about nil I, hn .Ulilnn nurses in
fact, I nm always ceml.ig ucress them for
peer nervous patients, but there are nere
te be get when I utplv for my rich pu
tlents. I apply at the school, I'SOe De
I.ancey street. They haxe thirty pupils and a
numher of teachers, but nil their graduates
are busy with cases in hospitals, und their
teachers are busy with the students, and the
students arc busy with the courses. Se lliere
you are."
Of course, I thought I could pull a string
or two thnt he, busy man that be was, bad
overlooked. Se presently 1 get in touch
with Miss Florence Fulton, the dean of the
school of Occupational Therapy, and I
found there nt headquarters that the doctor
who had confided his disappointment te me
was only one of a number. Se thnt, te meet
what is evidently a real need, Miss Fulton
is te open the school workshop for a larger
clientele tiian until new has been accom accem
medated there.
p.BT of the school course has always
included work in the shop with nervous
or convalescing patients, but these have been
persons recommended from clinics or hos
pital wards by their doctors.
The shop will still be open te such, who
pay a purely nominal fee. but it is also te
l "I"?. available for pntients who can pay
the full expense of their tuition. After all,
it is only fair, since they wish te come for
tuition, and need the occupation ns pnrt of
their steps te recovery it is only fair that
they should net be penalized because they
are able te pay for wlmt they get.
I. nder the doctors' supervision who send
them there, and in the care of a very able
nnd experienced woman who is accustomed
te denling with psychopathic pntients ns
well as with these who arc handicapped by
some physical Injury, the patients can take
up the work of the shop at whatever point
seems most practical us a means te their
recovery, and they can continue through nil
the stages of the crafts taught there until
they nre proficient enough te turn out rcullv
marketable goods; or if they de net wish te
compete in the buying nnd selling market,
they can use their knowledge nnd their re
newed health te help ethers along the same
lines that benefited them.
T HAVK known the head of the shop, Miss
-1 Harriet Dulles, for h geed many years,
and I have followed her various interests
ns a mere or less sympathetic onlooker from
the first. That is, 1 was sympathetic with
out n qualm when she was a student of
music in Kurepe, and I was some years Inter
much less sympathetic when she was a
militant suffragist in Washington. Hut I
think I was never se entirely her admirer
as the ether day when I discovered hew fit
she was for her present occupation and what
intensive training that fitness had involved.
It struck me that Iter art life and her travel
and her study and her experience with peo
ple, especially freaky people, had ull been
te the geed for her very responsible position
of today.
Fer as head of thnt school shop at Twen-ty-secend
nnd De I.ancey streets she has
net only te tench patients, but she has te
teach students te teach patients nnd organize
the shop work as well.
Of course, the dean. Miss Fulton, is the
real power back of that simp as well as back
of the school, but te be responsible for the
ilai'y program of the shop, tits the dean's
lieutenant, there involves a very varied prae.
tlcal knowledge of crafts and 'of dispositions,
and of physical possibilities ns well.
Among the crafts th.it nre taught in the
shop are: Weaving of rugs, cnunterpanes,
scarfs, blankets, table linen, silk bags, em
broidered pieces; toy making by saws, tig
nnd feet, by glue and by carpentry; chip
carving and beTinnlting; leather work, ele
mentary bookbinding. pattern-making;
needlework, crochet, hook rugs. aee making,
embroidery, rerd work; basket! y in n variety
of forms.
I nm euite sUre that I haxe net covered
the entire course that the pupils in that
school liaie te make themselves proficient
in. nor all the crafts that 1.111 he followed
in thnt small shop en the ground fleer, but
the point is that all theBe craft ure learned
and are taught as n means te the end of
mm tn et mum n nn ueay. Tiiar some of the
patients eventually support themselves und
their families in the successful practice of
one or another of the crafts is a by-product
of the school nnd of the shop.
I GOT the story from Miss lii( 0f one
or two nf the patients who had gradu
ated from the shop as at leas' bettered and
sent out into life with mere initiative and
at least with a power te fellow nn activity
that was wholesome and tranquilizinjj.
There was one patient, a subnormal girl,
who had net used her hands te any purpose
and w he had never lenrned t.j concentrate
her mind en an occupation. She began with
the easiest form of knitting ral.e knitting
and gradually worked up from iliat te cord
work. Presently she was proficient in the
making of tassels for elndes. She v,n never
be nermsllj bright, but sh" j, no longer a
danger te herself and ethers irem nervous
depression. She can de something that needs
te be done well,
There was another girl who h.n! lest her
initiative from some breakdown f think
that the first day it took ihe teacher almost

"Werk of nnv degree of advancement may
be undertaken by the pupil with the out
side teacher, but the jmpil must be definitely
ns-igned bv such outside teacher te 11 specific
grade of work at the time the application
is made for admission te the. course.
"The music work pursued by him with the
outside teacher must always belong le the

time of the assignment must satisfy the
Director of Music of the Heard of Public

the pupil must likewise file application upon
blank forms prescribed by the Superinten

school in which the pupil is a student. '1 nu
report of the director of examinations shall
be final. x
"There nre Certain new courses which
will be open te nil high school pupils. There
will be weekly chorus work, for which a
credit of half a point for two grades will be
given. This will be mass work, and the
purpose of it, general uplift ; the design I
net te teach sight-singing, but is meant te
be wholly cultural. Like all the music
courses, it is elective.
"The ether courses are all intensive, and
will be put en a strictly professional basis,
the work being four periods 11 week. The
first of these is a course in theerv and prac
tice, open te all. and it will probably be
made .1 normal school requirement. Theory
and practice means Instruction in the ele
menta of notation, including the eonstruefien
of scales, intervals, diacritical marks
dynamic signs, movement marks nnd kev nnd
time signatures. Practice means sight
singing. This is a one-year course, four
periods n week and counts four points tewurd
graduation.
The Vecal Ensemble
"The vocal ensemble of four periods a
week counts two points. It is open te theso
who can qualify with sieht-sinaini; nhiliiv.

dropped for a period of half a vear aim
taken up again at discretion,
"The instrumental ensemble is four periods

The technique of instruments will net be
taught here, nnd the course is open enlv te
these wh .an qualify with sufficient tech
nique te play the music- nnd te read it.
"There will also be a two j ears' course
in harmony, counting four points and
demanding four periods a week. It will net
be superficial, and is open only te these
he can qualify with our year's course in
theory ami practice or its equivalent. If
they hnd this course they can enter the
harmony class; if net, they must qualifv
bv examination.
The Utcrattirc of Music
"A course In what we all the litem

Persons term this musical iippreelutien, but
