E. A. Body. ALL PHASES CONSIDERED Elementary Instruction as Applied to Child Mind. Education as'a factor in the friend- Bhip of nations was stressed by Dr. Honorio Pueyrredon, ambassador from the Argentine, in the course of an address delivered before the ‘World Federation of Education Asso- ciations at a Pan-American meeting held yesterday at the Pan-American Tnion. “Instruction in the modern world should be extended beyond the ter- ritorial bounds” Ambassador Pueyr- redon said. “Effort should be made 1o inculcate in the spirit of the child a broad sense of nationalism, to implant in his mind the idea that the greatness of his country depends, to a large degree, on a harmonious de- velopment together with the other Ppeoples of the world. “This Is not to weaken the national sentimen far from that. It to strengthen it by the amplification of its horizon. Advances Practical Formula. “As a practical formula for educa- tion, with the purpose of approach- ment among different peoples, I think one of the most efficient is the teach- ing of foreign languages, objectively and orally, to the young child in the clementary schools rather than in the advanced schools only. ‘Language is the subject that a child can learn most easily and the subject that can be learned well only by a child. § ‘Generally, foreign languages are taught in high schools, when the mental flexibility of the student is diminished. The valuable time thus lost is difficult to regai To acilitate Solidarity. “To facilitate solidarity among dif- ferent peoples, the fundamental prin- ciple depends upon expanding the general instruction, extending the cducational outlook and the destruc- tion of prejudice that leads the peo- ple to think that all that is theirs is Dest, or all that is best is that of others —evils boh. The first state of mind bars the way to improvement; the second creates discouragement of ef- fort.” ¢ A The most efficient education lies in the elementary instruction that molds in the child his future orientation, the speaker said, pointing out the clause in the Constitution of his own country which guarantees to each &tate its institutions “upon the con- dition that it will organize the ad- ministration of justice, the municipal regime and the elementary instruc- tions.” PR DAl AR a4 ‘Telephone subscribers in China- town, San Francisco, do not ask for numbers — they call each Chinese telephone customer by name.

School Board President Six Teachers Promoted to Administrative Posts—Peyser Prevents Appointment of Business Six public school teachers were promoted to administrative positions by the board of education at its annual reorganization meeting ves- terday afternoon in the Franklin School. Action on a recommendation of Supt. Frank W. Ballou to pro- mote Maj. Raymond O. Wilmarth, chief of finance officer, to be busi- ness manager of the school system— a new office created in the current District appropriation bill—was de- ferred as a result of strong objec- tions by Capt. Julius I. Peyser. G. H. (Doc.) White, athletic director at ‘entral High School, was pro- moted to be head of the physical training department of the white high schools, and E. B. Hendersch of the faculty of Dunbar High School was clevated to a similar position in the colored high schools. These officers will have supervision over the compulsory physical training course which will be introduced in the sec- ondary schools at the beginning of the new scholastic year in September. Closed Session Stormy. Others teachers promoted are: Mary Lackey, principal of the Denison School, to be an administrative prin- cipal; May P. Bradshaw of the Busi- ness High School faculty to be assistant principal of that institu- tion, Jessle Coope of the McKinley faculty to be assistant principal of that institution; R. W. Strawbridge of the McKinley faculty to be prin- cipal of the Jefferson Junior High School, P. Edna Thoussen of the ‘Western faculty to bg assistant prin- cipal of that institulion; Janet Mc- ‘William, principal of the Force- Adams School, to be an administrative principal; Mary J. Watts of the faculty of the Eastern High School to be assistant principal of that in- stitution, and E. D. Weaver of the Armstrong High School faculty to be assistant principal of that institu- tion. The clash over the promotion of Maj. Wilmarth _occurred behind closed doors in a so-called executive conference which lasted two and one-half hours. When the board adjourned at 7:30 o'clock, after having been in session since 3:30, it was announced that Dr. Ballou's recommendation - concerning _the _new business manager had been referred to the personnel committee for further con- sideration. The star chamber session obviously was one of the stormiest held in recent years. Capt. Peyser's impassioned-voice Was frequently heard ringing through the closed doors. Despite the fact that the meeting was the longest on record for the past year, the board was unable to complete its business, and a_special session was called for Monday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock. An adjournment for the sdmmer. which is taken customarily on July 1, probably will be taken at the close of the special conclave. President Lloyd Re-elected. Immediately upon the convening of the board Harry O. Hine. secretary, admin- istered the oath of office to the two new members—Mrs. William H. Herron and Rev. F. L A Bennett. Mra Herron suc- Manager. ceeded Mrs. Raymond B. Morgan. while the latter replaced William L. Houston. The board re-elected James T. Lloyd s president for the ensuing year, de- spite an effort by Capt. Peyser to put Mrs. Howard L. Hodgkins in the official chair. Ernest Greenwood also was re- elected vice president. The motion for the re-election of Mr. Lloyd was put by Edwin C. Graham and seconded by Dr. J. Hayden John- son. “I do not believe we should elect the same officers year after year,” interjected Capt. Peyser. “I believe in rotation.” He then nomi- nated Mrs. Hodgkins, but she declined on the ground that she did not have time to serve the board as its presi- dent. Teachers’ Status Changed. Six votes were cast for Mr. Lloyd Mrs. Coralie F. Cook, Capt. Peyser and the nominee did not vote. The re-election of Mr. Greenwood, however, ‘was unanimous. The status of virtually all teachers and officers in the school system was ordered changed by ths board to conform with the provisions in the new teachers’ salary bill, which be- came effective yesterday. More than 2,600 employes of the board are af- fected by the change. The personnel classification board will be called upon to review the clas- sification of the clerical and custodian forces of the school system as a re- sult of action taken by the board. The janitors, electriclans and other such *employes asked the poard to have their classification reviewed, Lut the clerks were included when Mrs. Cook and Capt. Peyser mad: an ap- peal in their behalf. Peyser Criticizes Ballou. Dr. Ballou indorsed the request of the custodian force, pointing out that these employes are rated upon a basis of an eight-hour day, whereas they devote from twelve to fifteen hours daily to schogl work. It was the original proposal of Capt. Peyser and Mrs. Cook to ask for a review of the classification of only the clerks in the high and normal schools, but Dr. Ballou interceded on behaif of the other clerks in the school system. The verbal tilts betweeh Capt. Pey- ser and Supt. Ballou, which have characterized the last several meet- ings of the board, were resumed yes- terday, when the progressive “bloc” leader criticized the superintendent for giving him misinformation.. When Dr. Ballou admitted that he had made a mistake in certain facts Capt. Peyser retorted that he ““has no right to be in error.” = “You're an edu- cator,” added Capt. Peyser. The su- perintendent thanked him_ ‘for the compliment.” Capt. . Peyser shortly afterwards again opened fire on a recommenda- tion which President Lloyd offered to glve Dr. Ballou a leave of absence for a vacation whenever he found time to take it. ““That's very Indefi- nite,” declared Capt. Peyser. “How do we know that he will not leave tomorrow and be’ gone umtH Septem- ber 207" Superintendent Defended It. Mrs. Cook came to the defense of Dr. Ballau, and the board approved the recommendation by a vote of 8 to 1, Capt. Peyser dissenting. Approval also was given to a rec- / s kel g - S R o MRS.

Peyser took a leading part. The new plan, Dr. Ballou pointed out, is aimed to establish a higher degree of efficiency among the teaching personnel. With higher salaries. the superintendent said, the schools will attract more efficient teachers. When the budget committee of the board completes. the draft of the estimates for the next fiscal they will_be submitted to the board before being trans- mitted to the Commissioners, in ac- cordance with a ruling adopted. President Lloyd announced that he would appoint the personnel of the standing committees for the new fiscal vear within the next several days and notifs the members in writing. The rules committee in the meantime will consider a pro- posal of Capt. Peyser that an addi- tional committee. be appointed—a committee on school methods and expansion. Personnel Changes. The board acknowledged the re- ceipt of a communication from the Manor Park Citizens’ Association pro- testing against the lack of school ac- comodations in that community and urging the establishment of tempo- rary portable buildings.

Copsright by Underwood & Underwood FULL POWER ASKED FOR SCHOOL BOARD |Raising of Funds and Ex- penditures Urged as Ex- clusive Functions. Complete and undivided authority to handle all questions relating to education should be vested in boards of education without their assuming any obligations toward the municipal government under which most of them now operate, W. S. Deffenbaugh of the United States bureau of edn- cation told the department of schonl administration of the National Edu- cation Association in Central High School auditorium today. Since such boards are necessary. he said, “responsibility should not be divided with some other body elect- ed by the people and the board should be ontirely free to raise its own revenues for current expenses. to provide funds upon vote of the people for the purchase of grounds and the entire ercction of schoo buildings and to have complete con- trol of all school properties. In ies where boards of educa- t depend upon city officials for funds friction has arisen be- tween the hoards and municipal au- thorities. Only one board should be held responsible for the financial control of the schools, and that is the school board. Education a State Function. “The courts have repeatedly cided that education is a state not a municipal function. “All_authorities in school adminis- tration advocate a board of education independent of ~municipal control. Committees that have made school surveys in cities where the estimates of the boards of educatipn may be revised by city officials have recom- mended that boards of education be made fscally independent. “It has been found that fiscally in- dependent boards are not extrava- gant, the per capita cost being prac- tically the same under independent as under dependent school boards, and that better housing facilities arc provided in cities having' independ- ent boards. All the evidence is in favor u'[ such boards of education.” —_— YOUNGSTERS ON OUTING. 100 Go as Civitan Club Guests to Patuxent Camp. More than 100 youngstcrs yester- day afternoon enjoyed an outing as guests of the Civitan Club at the fresh air camp, Patuxent, Md.

New tents and cottages add to the capacity of the camp this vear and groups of children will be taken to the camp at fortnightly intervals, it is_announced. _William Proctor, president of the Civitan Club, and Rudolph Jose of the advisory board of the Salvation Army were'In charge of the celebra- on. de- and
