ANTAN RGHT 1 TONAME SEADOLS Board of Education Takes Sharp Issue With View of | . Commissioners. Suggestion of the District Commis- sioners that new public school build- ings be named after deceased munic- ipal officials was disapproved by the board of education yesterday after- noon, when it held that such a pro- cedure would be inconsistent with its . former practice. It would be uhfor- tunate, the board pointed out, to adopt a policy which would involve the lim; iting of the choice of names to any one group. The board’s action came as a sequel to the rejection by the Commissioners of a list of names selected for pro- wosed school buildings. The names <hosen by the board, the Commissior- ers contended, did not honor a suffi- ctent number of deceased Commis- sloners. The wisdom of the Commissioners’ suggestion was questioned by the board in the following statement: Name as Inspiration. “It is the opinion of the Loard of education that the policy of naming schools for persons in one official or social group is not a procedure which recognlizes the fundamental principles upon which the decision in regard to the naming of a public building ahould be based. The purpose of designating a school by the name of an individual is primarily to serve for the inspiration and the education of “the children. who in the years to come will attend this building. The select- ed names should be those of persons not only of local but national signifi- cance, and this is most markedly true in the natlon's capital. “The board of education joins glad- 1y in honoring men who have render- ed that splendid civic service which is displayed by those who have devoted themselves to_ the upbuilding of the city_in the office of Commissioner of the District of Columbia. We believe, however, that it would be unfortu- nate to establish the policy of confin- ing the selection of names to this group. Such a policy would fail to recognize hundreds of men and wom- en who have lived lives which ought 10 serve as an example for the bovs and girls to whom, in the future, the name of a school building will be- come a household word. Should Have Wide Range. “The board of education believes that the name of a new school should Dbe sclected with all due regard to lo- cal conditions and to the honoring of an individual, but the placing as a continual _remembrance before our children of a name which will furnish the greawest inspiration should be the primary factor in determining the se- iaction. Such a policy would require that the selected names be chosen from a broad field and should not be —— SPECIAL NOTICES. FOR BITIS iself. LIL- DATE I WILL NOT Lills other than LER.

All questions relating to educational policies in the schools should be de- cided by the board, but all questions {as to the disbursement of school funds should be determined by the Commi. sloners, is the substance of an opinion submitied to the &chool-governing body by Corporation Counsel Francis H. Stephens. The board had asked the corporation counsel for a definite ruling as to the line of demarcation of the authority of the Commissioners alnd the board regarding school poli- cles. Mr. Stephens declared in his opinion that to define the line of demarcation of the power of the board and the Com- missioners would be “unwlise and im- possible,” because of the inability to { forsee ail varylng circumstances which may arise in the future. He empha | sized. however, that where the expe |diture of money is concerned. the law iclearly states that this shall be under the direction and control of the Com- missioners, Ask Another Opinion. The board voted to request the cor- poration counsel for another opinion as to the effect of the recent court de- lcision on the authority of the Juvenile Court to handle pupils, as related to the administration of the compulsory Because of the court decision, Supt. Frank W. Ballou ex plained that it might become nece: sary for the board to establish a pa- rental court to care for the children op probation view of the $12,000 deficiency which will prevent the bonus being paid to some District employes for jone month this fiscal year, Dr. Ballou 101d the board that he belicved the jschool emploves would urge District Auditor Daniel Donovan to make all employes bear a part of the loss rather than only those who entered the District service last year. If the {latter course is adopted. the superin- {tendent said 500 school employes Co-operation in furthering the hrine convention plans was pledged by the board. Dr. Ballou was in- {structed to draw up a program show- ing how far it Wolld be practicable for the schools to participate. Con- {sideration also was given the matter ) of closing’the schools during the| week of the convention. To Build Additiol Catherine R. Watkins, director of kindergartens, was given permission to attend the Kindergarten Associa- tion convention in Pltgsburgh from April 16 to 20. The Commissioners notified the board that a contract had been let for the construction of an elght-room addition to the Garrison School at a cost of $136,350. A communication from the Ed-| monds Parent-Teacher Association offering $300 toward the work of in- stalling ‘electric lights in the Ed- monds School was read by Secretary Harry O. Hine. Dr. Ballou remarked that ‘a number of associations had generously offered to aid in electrify- ing school bulldings, and explained that the authorities have a definite program for installing clectric lighlsl in a number of schools next year.
