Few of the ations, he con tinued, were dealing with city-wide fairs, judging from the few recom- mendations being presented to the fed eration for action. While the first duty of the local association was in the in terest of their immediate neighbor: hood, he suggested that the affairs of | the District as a whol d not be overlooked by the socia- tions. In referring to school he re- gretted that the Bureau of the Bud- get had failed to include an assembly hall for the Takoma hough the Board of I recommended it. He sa tial to assembly halls and that he would put fc when the matter was pre: Bureau of the Budget next year. Zoning Law May Be Changed. In speaking of the zoning law, he stated that while the District had a good law, there were many desirable changes needed, which, if they met with the desire of the zens of the District, would be presented to the next Congress. It was announced that the annual celebration of Washington's birthda would take place in the Trinity Par Hall, February in conjunction with the other civic organizations in Ta- koma Park. The association unanimously adopted & resolution urging the retention of Lieut. Col. J. Franklin Bell as En- gineer Commissioner of the District.

Larger Classes Will Result. “If this bill becomes a law without making any provision for new teach- ers, it means materially increasing the size of clas in’ elementary, junior and senior high schools; the impossibility of organizing small cl s of atypical children, who need special instruction, and the assign- ment to regular classroom instruction of all supplementary teachers now employed in our larger elementary schools, to give children who need it the individual instruction necessary for them to keep up with their re- spective classe: “While the: reassignments of teachers can and will be made If necessary, it should be clearly under- stood by the citizens of Washington that this saving of $121,000, brought about as a result of eliminating pro- vision for any new teachers for the school year 1927-1928, will mean a re- duction in the quality of Instruction H. McCrory, with Roy G. Pierce re- cording the minute: LAUDS STAR'S POLICY IN BROWNING CASE Central Citizens’' Association Ap- proves Elimination of Sor- did Details. Lauding the policy of The Evening Star in omitting the publication of sordid details in the Browning case, the Central Citizens' Association, meeting last night in North Capitol Bank, voted an expression of thanks to the management of this paper for its stand in behalf of clean journalism. Vigorous condemnation of the van- dalism to trees committed recently in Northwest Washington was expressed in an address delivered by A. J. Dris- coll, president of the Midcity Citizens’ Association, who w of the Central Ascsociation last night. The association voted to appeal to the En- gineer Commissioner for earnest prose- cution of the persons guilty of the vandalism. Dr. William P. Kenealy expwased condemnation of the provisions of the Lankford Sunday law bill and de- clared that the citizenship of Wash- ington had occasion for resentment at the growing amount of experimental legislation put into effect within the District. Mr. Driscoll presented a detailed argument in favor of the location of Center Market at Fifth and K streets and was given a rising vote of thanks by the members for his arduous work In recent months to prove to Wash- ington people the desirability of that location for the market. The following committees were ap- pointed by President Francis de Sales Ryan: Publio utilities, Dr. William P. Kenealy, chairman; zoning, John Allen, chairman; laws and legislation, John G.

Wil- | and the elimination of special types of instruction which the school system has heretofore been able to provide, “The strength of any school system lies in the quality of the teaching, which in turn depends on classes of reasonable size and suitable building facilities. It is greatly to the credit of all parties concerned that up to this time appropriations for teachers have been sufficient to keep most classes in the public schools of Wash- ington within reasonable size, and to provide a small number of teachers for the enrichment of instruction which it is the right of the children to enjoy. Sections Now Congested Most Affected “The lack of additional teachers will be felt most seriously in those sec- tions of the city where the schools are already crowded. If the extra load of pupils could be distributed th:oughout the city, those teachers handling classes in the more sparsely settled sections of the city where classes are smaller might share the burden. This cannot be done. Children in Petworth cannot be sent 3 miles to the schools in Southeast or Southwest Washing- ton. Classes already heavy must be- come an even greater burden, there- for when extra teachers cannot be provided. > “New buildings to be opened in the more congested sections where relief should be afforded for undesirable ac- commodations and part-time instruc- tion present the most outstanding need for additional teachers. The muni- cipal architect says he will complete the Burroughs, the Amidon, the Smothers, the Woodridge and the Garnet-Patterson and Gordon Junior High Schools before July 1, 1928. These schools must be provided with teachers, some elementary and some junior high. Moreover, 19 additional junior high school teachers will be needed for those pupils who move up to ninth grade status in the Stuart and the Francis, the Randle and Hine additions, which will be occupied this year by seventh and eight grade pu- pils, The full complement of teachers, however, for these four junior high schools will not be provided this year, but will be needed for the ninth grade classes in 19 Special Instructions. “The school authorities are bheing criticized apparently for the lines of special instructions which have been introduced in our schools, but which are recognized as necessary in every modern school system, as, for in- stance, the small classes in junior and senjor high schools, where mucn elec- tive specialized training is c in machine shop: and other manua asses, laboratory ing, etc. As education becomes mor ed, it is to be expected that 1sses are to becomeé smailer.

The increase in the and in the seventh of the junior hij at approximately 900 the next fiscal year ects during the fisc will make it necessar iditional teache follows: Bu enroll during pupils, 1,021 e schools estimated s during Building proj- vear 1927-1928 to appoint 15 to be gned as , with 12 classrooms ers now available, nine new teachers will' be needed; Amidon School, January 1, 1 four class- rooms and four teachers now avail- able, no new teachers needed; Smothers School, August 1, 1927, four classrooms, two available teachers, two additional teachers needed; Woodridge School, August 1, 1927, eight classrooms, four available teachers, four mew teachers needed. The teachers reported as now avail- able are at present teaching in port- ables or in part-time c to_be relieved by the new buildings. For ual l ning centers 10 teachers are required, these completing the esti- mate of 25 requisite for elementary grade work. lr} regard to the 44 new teachers in Junior high schools, in class 2A and 19 in class 2C, it is pointed out that the annual average increase, estima- ted at 900 pupils, will affect those schaols as well as the elementary grades. The expansion of the junior high school system not only takes care of the increased enrollment, but helps to relieve congested schools where portables, part-time classes and oversized classes are now to be found This is accomplished by transferring seventh and eighth grade classes as rapidly as possible to the junior high schools. The estimate of 44 new teuchers for junior high school work under the new building program is explained as follows: Addition to the Hine building, to be finished April 1, with nine rooms, fiv available and four additional teachers needed; the Garnet-Patterson School, to be finished Janua 15, 1 ) with 24 rooms, will need 12 teachers in addition to the 12 now available; the Gordon School, to be finished on the same date, with 24 rooms, will require 11 teachers in addition to the 13 now available; the Francis School, due for completion January 1, 1 with 24 rooms, will require seven ad- ditional teachers; the Randall School replacement, to be completed Janu- ary 1, 1928, with a net increase of eight rooms, will require three more teachers; the Stewart School, due for completion February 1, 1927, will re- quire seven more teachers, Teachers reported in this category as available now are seventh and eighth grade teachers whose 1A salaries will be converted into junior high school salaries. The estimate of five new teachers of class 3A for senior high schools s based on the estimate of an increase of 800 pupils in the ninth grade of the juior high schools and in the :%(‘nlur high schools. As much of the increase will be absorbed in the junior schools, the request for additional class 3A salaries has been reduced to five teachers.

Of course, the committee gave due and proper consideration to the statements and recommendations made by Dr Ballou, superintendent of s hools, bu 1 to you frankly that he did no present his figures or his statistics in such shape that the committee, or least a majority of the committee four out of five of the committee—fe justified in granting his request for 74 additional teacher: We acco him all the respect he entitlea to but I give great weight and great con sideration to the views of my twr colleagues, the gentleman from Ne braska (Mr. Simmons), and the gentle man from M ippl (Mr. Collins) both of whom are parents of scholars in the elementary schools of the Dis triet, and T take it those gentlemen are as vitally interested in the welfare of the schools and their proper main tenance as any one else in this city It is their unbiased and conclusfv: opinfon that this item for 74 addi tional teachers was not jutified.” What we need is building space. When there are overcrowded class rooms surely there would not be need for more teachers unless the teachers are to be put on-“part time,” as_the children are. Where would vou put “more teach ers” in the John Eaton, the Truesdell the Petworth, the Takoma, and sev eral other overcrowded schools? If this money which is being asked for to pay a group of teachers wh are not needed was spent for bly halls, to relieve the pres overcrowded classrooms, there would be many happier children and man a_ teacher relieved of the terrible strain of trying to teach 50 or more children at one time.
