The survey was asked for by Senator Capper of Kan- sas, chalrman of the school commit- tee, several months ago, when the needs of the schools were Inquired into, with the result that an emer- gency building fund was sppropriat- ed amounting to about $2,000,000. Unblised Report Sought. Mrs. Alice B. Fernandes of the bu- reau of education was In charge of the survey of the achools here. She has done similar work for the bureau in a number of other large cities. Senator Capper was particularly anx- ious to have the survey made by of- ficials of the federal government in no way connected with the public schools here, so that he would obtain the views of persons who were no! | connected with the system, but wha nevertheless, were qualified to mak. ! a survey and point out u ! schools.” Senator Capper | day he would be very ve } this information, now that a further investigation is about to be begun by the Senate committee, The survey of the schools will go to the commissioner of education tomor- row for his approval ‘ before being transmitted to Senator Capper. It Is expected to reach Senator Capper within a few days. It will not be made public until it has been given to Senator Capper, it Was said. Facts Expected to Ald Schools. The report of the federal bureau, it is believed, will prove of considerable value in framing a_program for the further extension of the schools and the erection of new buildings. The members of the Senate Distriet com- mittee, and, in fact, the entire mem- bership of the Senate, is friendly to the proposal to give the District addi- tional school facilities. The opening meeting of the subcom- mittee on schools, set for 10:30 o'clock tomorrow morning, will be executive. The committee will determine later whether any of the investigation is to be conducted in public. Senator | Capper has requested the municipal architect and the president of the board of education and superintendent {of schools to appear before the com- | mittee tomorrow. WILL EXPLAIN DELAYS. Supt. Ballou and Dr. Simon to Ap- pear Before Senate Committee. Reports that they are at odds with ithe District Commissioners and the force of the municipal architect's office over the delay in carrying out the school construction program will- be refuted tomorrow by school authorities, when they appear before the Senate sub- committee, which begins its investiga- tion into the schools. So far as could be learned last night only one school ‘official—Dr. Abram Simon, president of the board of education—will appear before the committee at its initial hear- | ing_tomorrow morning. School authorities admit that there has been some delay in the erection -of the school buildings appropriated for by Congress, but declars this is due primarily to the lack of a sufficient num- ber of employes in the municipal archi- tect's office. “There has not been the least dis sension belween the municipal archi- tect or the commissioners,” said an official. & “The school officials have always en- joyed the heartiest of co-operation with ithem, and this will be pointed out to ihe Senate committee." This official said that one reason for the delay in the construction of the new tuberculosis school to re- place the Hamilton school is that the selection of a site for the building was not made earlier. He also de- clared that it will require more time to draw plans for this school, be- cause it w unusual type. It w3s said that there are only two schools .of the type of Hamilton in the United States. The slow progress on the new iSastern High School, the official said, will be explained in detail to the committee. Critics of school officials have charged that the delay on the construction of this school was caused by the revision of the plans of former Municipai Architect Snow- den Ashford. The change in the plans for the new high school, the official said the committee will be told, was absolutely necessary. i ' ALUMNI CLUB DINNER.
