Arthur C. Newman, principal of the Armstrong Technical High School, which yesterday caused more than 1,000 puplls at the high school to “walk out” as a protest over the slated action of the Board of Edu- catlon. 1t was learned today that Repre- sentative George Holden Tinkhum of assachusetts has sent a letter to E. Graham, president of the Board of Education, bespeaking his interest in the Newman case on behalf of promi- nent colored constituents in Boston. Boston Group Interested. Questioned concerning the letter to- day, Mr. Tinkham said that a group of colored educators in Boston, in whose judgment he has the utmost respect, has telegraphed him of the planned demotion of Capt. Newman from principal, at u salary of §4,100, to a military Instructor in the elemen- tary schools, at a salary of §2,800. and urged him to use his influence to see that Capt. Newman “gets a fair deal.” It is understood the message vices were he was not being accorded just treatment at the hands of the Board of Education. ) “I only know one side of the case,” Mr. Tinkham explained, “but I am confident of the veracity of my Bos ton informants and I have simply written the Board of Lducation to ad- vise them of my interest in the cas on behalf of my consituents and learn on whai grounds they plan to take such drastic action.” That the unexpected st Armstrong students {4 proving worri- some to school offictals and ibers of the Board of Education was evi- dent today as yesterday. has been out of town rewurned to the clty today and wus in conference with Dr. Frank W. Ballou, superintendent, this morning. After they had talked for some time they sent for Assistant Superintendent of Schools Garnet C. ‘Wilkinson. Would Penalize Pupils. Mr. Wilkineon's attitude is that the most_ effective means of ending the strike Is to tmpress upon the students and their parents of the loss of their scholastic _standing through their loyalty to Capt. Newman With this in mind, Mr. Wilkinson | today issued the following statement: “This office has been advised of a student strike at the Armstrong Technical High School. * “The Armstrong School will not be closed. It will remain opeu for all who have a right to attend there. Classes will be conducted as usual. “Whatever the grievance of these it is the opinion of the first ant superintendent in charge of red Achools that they should im- 1y return to school. then for- complatnt or re- for administration. is office tukes advantage of this opportunity to notify parents that many of these from school in violation of the com- pulsory school attendznce law, and that all of them are losing instruction that s vital to their promotion and graduation.” Reviews Entire Case. In another statement {ssued today Mr. Wilkinson reviews the reasons the recommendation for Newman's demotion. It follows: recommendation of t first |assistant superintendent in charge of red schools was based upon & dy initiated because of numerous complaints from members of the school administration, from members of the faculty of the Armstrong Tech- itself. This study was made by the first assistant superintendent in charge of colored schools personally and ex- tended over a period of many months. “The first assistant superintendent in charge of colored schools, as a re- sult of his long study of the conditions at Armstrong, concluded: 1. That the administration of the Armstrong Technical High Shcool was unsatisfactory in regard to its busi- ness management; “2, That it was unsatisfactory in regard to the matter of school dis- cipline; and “‘3. That is was unsatisfactory in regard to educational administration.” Two meetings were announced to- day for Monday night to draft reso- | lutions protesting against the demo- tion of Capt. Newman, both of which are to be held at the office of Charles A. Marshall, 907 U street, a former Armstrong studcnt. One meeting will be held at 8 o'clock, and attended by former puplls of Armstrong, while the other will be held at 10 o'clock, and attended by colored business men of the city. Mass Meeting Called. A mass meeting, to be staged at the Lincoln Theater, U street between Twelfth and Thirteenth street, tomor- row afternoon at 1 o'clock, was called today by the Central Washington Citi- zens' Assoclation and the Blaine In- vincible Republican Club to_protest against the removal of Capt. Newman. Francis Wells, president of the | Blaine Invincible Republican Club, and Willlam H. Herring, president of the Central Washington Citizens’ Assocla- tion, in calling the mass meeting, de- clare the theme of the gathering will be whether it is fair to remove teach- ers and officlals in the public schools | system without giving them a falr op- portunity to defend themselves, and ’\Vhflher the Board of Education can | rightfully remove or demote principals and teachers without “any cause or reason.” Deaths Reported.

Exactly 1.728 more school children | today are belng cared for in the tenth and eleventh divisions of the colored | slementary school system than the 21 { school bulidings in the northwest sec- tion of Washington were bullt many | years ago to accommodate. To what | extent overcrowding exists in these | two divistons can be gained from the fact th# at the Garnet-Patterson schools alone there {s an excess of 334 puplis. Happily the five-year school building program aiready has brought relief in | these divisions, and if the further pro- vislons in it for six eight-room addi- | tions, one six-room addition, three | four-room addittons and five pla: grounds are constructed as echeduled, | the affected students by 1931 will, for the first time, be able to pursue their studies under normal circumstances. Tho most {mmediate relief for the eleventh division will come next month when the new John F. Cook, a 16- room building, modernly equipped and located on P stroet between First and North Capitol &treets. will open its | doors. Junior Highs to Help. Two new junlor high cchools.

At present there is but one junior high school for both the tenth and eleventh divisions, and this school. the Shaw Junior High, located on M street between Tirst street and New Jersey avenue, can accommodate only a small portfon of the two higher ele- | ment: grades. The contract re- cently hus heen let for the l'rancle Junior High School, and it is expected that by the time the initial appropria- tion $175,000 previously granted has been spent the $325.000 carried in | the pending measure vill be available | The site for the Garnet-Patterson Junior High School. already pur- | chased, is being cleared in expectation | that the $300,000 carried in the pend- | ing appropriation will be approved by ! Congress. The Board of Education had recommended $500,000 for this school, but the Diatrict Commissioners cut off $100,000, while the Budget Bu- | reau cut off another §100,000. Tt is | expected the additional money will be obtained later. 14 Schools in Division. There are 14 schools in the tenth division, where the total enroliment i 5,601, against a capacity of 4,840, | or an excees of 811 puplls, while there jare but seven schools in the eleventh | givision, where the enrollment is 3,812, as against a capacity of 3,000, with ‘s net excess of 912 puplls. It s interesting to note that the en- rollment at the Mott, which is 1,148, and the enrollment at the Garnet- Patterson, which is 1,184, are the highest of all the schools or groups of schools in the city. Of the several additions scheduled for construction in these two divisions, only one, an eight-room addition to the Bruce, has been appropriated for, and this was during the first year of the program. A total of $120,000 is in hand for this work and condemna- tion proceedings now are in process 80 that the erection of the additional classrooms can begin. Under the building program 9 rooms are asked for the tenth division for estimated growth, while 12 roms are requested for the eleventh division for the same purpose. Garnet C. Wilkincon, assistant | superintendent of schools and in charge of the colored divisions, esti- mates that a total of 94 new class- rooms will be needed between now and 1931 to bring the northwest sec- tion of Washington up to par as regards schoolhouse accommodations. He estimates these rooms would cor- rect the following educational evils: Portables, 11 rooms; rented rooms, undesirable situations, 6 rooms; over- size classes, 13 rooms; part-time classes, 29 rooms, and replacements, 12 rooms. | Twenty Rooms Asked. | No replacements are asked in the | program for the tenth division, but 20 rooms are rsquested for the re- | placement of the present Garnet-Pat- terson Schools. Originally 8 rooms had been asked to replace the old Cook, but with the opening of the | new Cook the first of February this situation will be cared for. In the bullding program report the following explanation concerning the eleventh division is made: “Much relief from the congestion 1in the eleventh division will be pro- vided by certain readjustments not specifically mentioned under the pro- vislons of the five-year program, as follows: The creation of a junior high school in lieu of the Garnet-Patterson Schools; the transfer of the McKin- |ley Manual Training School for the use of the Shaw Junior High School; | the transfer of the Twining Elemen- tary School from the fourth division | to ‘this division; the enlargement of | the Garrison School, which is in the | tenth division, and the provision for |a junfor high school in the vicinity | of the Deanwood School.” | Following are the items in the five- year program still counted on to care for the school housing and playground | needs of the tenth division: | Purchase of land adjoining the Wil- son School, to provide for the construc- | tion of an addition to sald school. | Construction of an eight-room addi- tion to the Wilson School, including a. combination gymnasium and assembly hall and the necessary remodeling of | the present building. | Construction of a four-room addi- | tion to the Military Road School, in- cluding the necessary remodeling of the present building.

By the Associated Prea Ald of President Coolidge in secur- ing adoption of a constitutional amendment to permit Congress to enact a marriage and divorce law was sought today by a delegation of ‘women, most of them officers of the General Federation of Women's Clubs, who were accompanied to the White House by Senator Capper, Republican, Kansas. As spokesman for the group, Mrs. Edward Franklin White of Indianap- olia declared that the States had dem- onstrated a failure to control the mar- riage and divorce problem and that the only hope for uniformity lies in | congreasional action. “The great increase in the ratio of divorce- in this country,” sald Mrs. ‘White, “is commonly cited without taking into consideration that the laxity of marriage laws and the con- flict of laws between States are re- sponsible for a great number of these divoroes.” Mrs. White also declared that any marriage and divorce law enacted by Congress would of necessity be an average and a compromise covering only matters in which uniformity is essential. In the group, in addition to Mrs. White and Mrs. John D. Sherman, who is president general of the federation, ‘were Miss Florence M. Dibert, Johns- town, Pa.; Mrs. Florence C. Floore, Clebourne, Tex.; Mrs. Robert J. Bur- dette, Los Angeles; Mrs. Gilbert F. Davis, Windsor, Vt. Mrs. Aaron Schloss, Berkeley, Calif.; Mrs. Henry A.
