Hope of school authorities to relieve congestion in the high schools next September by utilizing the two new Junior high schools, plans for which are now being drawn, has been shattered, Supt. Frank W. Ballou told the board of edugation at a special meeting yes- terday afternoon at the Franklin School. The new junior high schools, the s\oer- intendent said, will be twenty-four-room buildings, and it will be virtually impos- sible to ‘draw the plans and complete them within the next year. The nine school projects now under way, however, Dr. Ballou said, will be completed when the schools open next September for the new term. These new schools are.graded and will aid in relieving the overcrowding in the ele- mentary system. Appropriation Inadequate. The superintendent also told the board that the small appropriation for the operation of the night school system will result in curtailing the activities in these schools. He pointed out that the appropriation avallable this year is $75,000 as against $90,000 last year. To keep within the limits of the smal- ler appropriation,. Dr. Ballou said_that the teaching personnel. will be reduced *and a few of the night schools, espe- cfally in the outlying sections of the city where attendance heretofore has been small, will not be opened. The board completed the organiza- tion plans of the night school sys- tem by approving the appointment of 180 teachers and a number of jani- tors. The night schools will open i Monday at_the following buildings: HBualness High, Tech High, Eastern igh, Wallach, Park View, Small- Northwest Industrial, at 218 3d et; Jefferson and Henry. For col- ored students here will be the Arm- strong and Dunbar high schools, the Garnet-Patterson. Randall. Stevens, Lovejoy and Cardoza schools. It is planned to keep these schoola open at Icast eight months on the limited ap- propriation. Permission Given Red Croms.

Communications from the Commis- sioners were read by Harry O. Hine, secretary of the board, advising the school governing body of the purchase of additional school sites. They show ed that purchases were made Of 9,000 square feet adjoining the Hayes School for $5,000, 59,000 square feet to replace the Smothers School for $5,000 and 9,855 square feet for the Peabody School for $10,500. .Purchase of another parcel of ground to add to the Eckington Junior High School also was reported. Principals Assigned Problems. On _recommendation of Dr. Ballou the board assigned special adminis- trative problems to various supervis- ing principals. R. L. Haycock and J. C. Bruce were assigned to study efticational measurement = and ~re- search in the schools, Miss Anne Beers to study the payment of teach- ers during leaves of absence and pro | visions for substitute pay, Ben W. Murch to study the aspects of the business office as related to the ele- mentary schools, Miss Flora L. Hend- ley and Miss Marion P. Shadd to study the promotion, non-promotion and re- tardation of pupils. Dr. H. M. Johnson and J. C. Nalle to study attendance records, Selden M. Ely to study the furniture_and_equipment of sehools, and Dr. E. G. Kimball to study teach- ers’ salaries in other citiex. Board members who attended the meeting were: Edwin C. Graham.

Construction - of . the southwest branch of the Public Library on the site provided by Congress at Tth and D streets and South Carolina avenue probably will start ‘this . fall, Dr. George F. Bowerman, librarian of the Public Library, stated today. Dr. Bowerman called upon Engineer Com- ¢ missioner Kutz yesterday to show him i the blue prints for the structure. It is expected the plans @ll receive the approval of the building commission, of which Col. Kuts is a member, at! an early date. While Congress has provided the site, the money for the bullding will'be furnished by the Car- negie Corporation, which has pledged itself to u contribution of not less than $50,000. Campaign to Be Started. “Buy a book a week, read it and give it to the Public Library,” will be the slogan of a book collecting cam- paign which: Dr. Bowerman proposes to inaugurate ‘in the near future. Library oflicials will be confronted with a difficult problem in stocking the southwest branch with books, and an appeal to the public for donations appears to offer the only temporary solution of .it. In their recent esti- mates submitted to the Commission- era the library trustees asked for an appropriation of $25,000 with which to acquire a branch, library site in the Columbia Heights section. Because of the restriction upon the Commission- ers that the budget shall not be made public prior to being transmitted to Congress, it is not known whether this recommendation was approved.

Confronted” with crowded conditions at McKinley Man- | Wl Training School arising from the attempt to accommodate 1,462 pupils in a high school building designed to hold but 1,100, members of the Great- er Tech Committee, composed of of- ficlals, teuchers and alumni of the school, met in special session last night at the home of Louis W. Mat- tern, faculty member, and outlined plans for an intensive campaign for a new school building. First-hand evidence of the conges- tion which has occurred at Tech this yeur was given by Principal Frank Danlel, ex officio member of the Greater Tech Committee. Mr. Danlel described the scene presented yes- terdiy when the first general assmbly signal called to the small assembly hall the entire student personnel. The confusion resulting from the effort to seat more than 1,400 young men an dwomen in an auditorium bullt to_accommodate less than 600 was sufficlent testimony of the remarkable growth of the school, in tle mind-of Principal Daniel and members of the faculty, who have watched the de- velopment of Tech, in its location at th streét and Rhode Island avenue. More students are being enrolled every day, it was declared. Histery of Movement.’ The movement for a new building for McKinley was launched by the commitiee of faculty members and alumni some time "ago, following complete abandonment.of the initial plan of asking that an addition to the school be erected on the present site. Phenomenal increase in enroll- ment, and the fact that the present structure is in the midst of a well bullt-up residential and business community, * precluding future ex- pansion, led to the switch in plans. it was pointed out.

THURSDAY, ‘SEPTEMBER 29, 1921 WATER FRONT PLAN FLAYED BY CITIZENS 'Southwest Association Will Petition Commissioners to Reconsider Actions. The Southwest Citizens' Association last night at a special meeting in the | which provides for the petitioning of | the board of Commissioners to recon- sider its actions and intentions in re- gard 1o the leasing of water ifront property in the District and to abun- | don its projected alterations on the ‘Washington chunnel water front. During tae discussion of this reso- Jution there wus evidence of strong opposition to the Commissioners’ pro- posed future treatment of the leused properties along the water front. W. S. Wimsatt, who introduced the reso- lution and spoke at some length in explanation of the wharf situation and the proposed action of the Com- missioners, declared that the latter threaten to destroy the water com- merce of the city and to directly and indirectly affect the general business of the southwegt section of the ci He pointed out -that after dis- continuing the leases for the storing of such commodities as lumber, cord wood, brick, sand and gravel, the wharves and storage places would remain idle for a long me while the Commissioners await sufficient appropriations with which to carry out their plans for the treat- ment of the properties in question. Umanimously Adopted. There was not one expression fa- voring the Commissioners’ proposi- tion, and the resolution was adopted unanimously. M. J. Driscoll, who spoke with much feeling regarding the preservation of the business interests in the south- west section. offered a motion callin for the appointment of a committ to circulate a petition among the res- idents of that section to be forwarded to the board of Commissioners. It! was adopted and Dr. Louis A. John-} son was named chairman. The others appointod were George Fraser, Capt. A. J. Taylor and W. C. Wimsatt. Th committee will outline its plan of campaign tonight, when it meets at the home of the chairman. 1t was made clear that should the Commissionets fail to abide by the wishes of the people of the southwest and decide to remain adamant the as- sociation will carry the matter to Congress. It .was the sense of the meeting 1ast night to forward copies of the resolution adopted to various members of Congress. The association takes the position, | according to the expressions of thos< who spoke and the wording of the resolution ddopted, that the storage | of the commodities nrentioned on the areas abutting the wharves “is based upon economic wisdom and commer- cial necessity.”" According to the reso- lution, the local water. front is used almost entirely to supply local d mands, and that to separate, for in stance, the storage from the subse- quent handling of the commodities in question would entail added hauling and handling cost and a higher charge to the consumer. i At the opening of the meeting the following officers of the association were elected for the ensuing year:| President, George Yeatman: vice president, George Fraser: secretary, Millard S. Yeatman, and treasurer. | George L. Dant. { The retiring officers were given a} vote of thanks for their loyaity and cofisclentious service, and in response Maurice Fiynn, the retiring president, xaid that every effort shouid be made to create greater interest and enthu- slasm in the assoclation’s activities and to Increase its membership.
