GRAHAM QUELLS SCHOOL BOARD ROW MARKING HIS INAUGURATION New President Initiated by Clashes, When Green- wood Accuses Dr. Ballou of Attempting to Dictate Poli HE VENIN voted to leave the question of closing the school to the Commissioners. Mrs. John D. Bradley, president of the Park View Parent-Teachers’ As. soclation, spoke for the Park View group. She had the board secretary read a letter from Mrs. Willlam Thackeray Bannerman, chairman of the committee on legislation of the Congress of Parent-Teacher Associa- tions, disapproving the proposal for a third story on the Park View School |and quoting Dr. Loutse Taylor-Jones, STAR, WASHINGTO Central High School; Mrs. teacher, W.

C Graham as president failed to bring about the spirit of complete harmon: between the board and school officials called for by the new president as he ;;;ok office at the outset of the meet- K. The meeting threatened, at the very beginning, to develop into a_session marked by complete discord between the newly re-elected vice president of the board, Ernest Greenwood, and Supt. of Schools Ballou. Later, how- ever, the dissension disappeared as o suddenly as it came into being. As the meeting got under way it seemed as though President Graham was in for as hectic a term as befell the retiring president, Jumes T. Lloyd, who. In turning over his gavel to Mr. Graham, had just expressed fervent hope that his™ successor sing and annoying ' that featured his own tenure of office. Mr. Lloyd added that “de- spite these annoying incidents” the past administration had seen Wash. ington push to the forefront of cities having model public school facilities. Clashes With Ballou. The clash between Greenwood and Dr. Ballou started when the former accused the school superintendent of ‘trying to tell the Board of Education what it should or should not do,” dur- Ing the course of Dr. Ballou's recom- | mendations regarding changes in school personnel. Mr. Graham aided in quieting this uprising, only to find another impending a few moments later over another recommendation of | the superintendent. Mr. Graham was nominated for Dresident by the retiring president. Dr. J. Hayden Johnson seconded the nomination. There being no other names proposed, Mr. Lloyd moved that the secretary cast the board's Vvote for Mr. Graham, and this motion was carried unanimously. The re- election of Mr. Greenwood was pro- posed by Rev. I. A. Bennett and was seconded by Mr. Lloyd. The vote was unanimous. Mr. Graham, in accepting the chai read a prepared statement expre: h problems and ressing hope there would be close co-operation between the board and school officials. Urges Co-operation. “It is a fundamental fact that the attitude and character of the head of any organization is reflected down through the personnel of the entire or- ' ganization,” Mr. Graham said. “We cannot expect to have co-operation between teachers and supervisors un- less there is co-operation between the Board of Education and the school officials. “I believe that one of the great needs of our school system today is a ! closer relationship. a better under- standing and a greater desire to co- operate from the Board of Education to the humblest employe in the school system. Words and resolutions are ' futile in accomplishing these ends. The Board of Education has the re. sponsibility of setting the example by | affording the opportunity of frank and free informal discussion between it and the school officials, and must cre ate a sympathetic feelinz of interest among those coming under its juris- diction, 8o that it mav eventually per- meate the entire system. It _should not be necessary for a| teacher, supervisor or officfal to be compelled to present his case in docu. | mentary form before he can have a| hearing by his superior. Tf the school system is to profit| most it will do so by building up of the latent ability that exists in i officials and instructors. and every means should be used to assist and develop the ability of the individual. If this is not practiced by the teac! ing force, we cannot expect the best results when teachers are occupied in the instruction of puplls. The regular and official meetings of the Board of Education must neces- ity be more or less formal. Members of the board, however, must familiar- fze themselves with the intricate de- tafls of the questions involved out- Buide of the regular meetings of the ‘would be | of Groups. |tion between the Board of Education and the school officials. Storm Breaks Quickly. Mr. Graham scarcely had settled himself in his new office after his ap- peal for co-operation between the! board and school officials than the storm he sought to prevent broke in brief but aggravated form. Mr. Green- wood jumped to his feet when Supt. of Schools Ballou characterized a_re- quest of a board member regarding | postponement of the promotion of u i Janitor as “unusual,” and, banging his | * fist on the table, the re-elected vice president flayed the superintendent for “‘presuming’’ to tell the board such a thing. The flutter of excitement had about dled down when Greenwood arosc |again to raise strenuous objection to | a recommendation of the superintend- |ent that the board decide on a policy | regarding non-resident puvils. Green- | wood said he did not know what pol- icy should be adopted, whereupon Dr. Ballou announced that the board re- celved his complete recommendations at the last meeting and that they were | incorporated in the minutcs. The mo- |tion for approval of the superintend- 's recommendations was adopted over Greenwood's dissenting vote, reg- istered in stentorian tones. Fire Hazard Protested. The board room was filled to capac- ity with members of two delegations of citizens, one representing the Langdon School and the other the Park View School. The former group came to protest against the fire haz- ard at their building and to seek a new school at once, while the latter delegation voiced opposition to the construction of a third story on the Park View School. Neither group I fl the heari: atisfied, and there W much head shaking and mumbling of such phrases as Congress will hear about this” and hey treated us out- reousl: Greenwood took a leading part in the discussion of both petitions. He insisted that if the Langdon School was a “fire trap,” as deplcted by the delegation, it ought to be closed im- medlately, and he made a motion to that effect. The women from Lang- don, led by Mrs. E. R. Kalmbach, agreed the school should be closed, but wanted assurance that a new school would be built without delay. They expressed indignation that the John Burroughs School was to be given a new building before the Langdon School, but they were informed that their attitude was unjustified and “wrong” by President Graham.
