The position school superin- tendent in the District of Columbia, with the existing difficulties of getting appropriations, is the least envied of any similar position anywhere else in { the country, declared United States Commissioner of Education John J.

Here, Commissioner Tigert said, the | #chool superintendent, in order to xet through appropriations, has 1o go he- fore the District Commissioners, the Budget Bureau and Congress, any one of which is likely to cut out an item, or even the President himself might | cut out some item, he added. ‘The de- sired appropriation is lost unless ap- proved by all the hodies, he continued. Mr. Tigert launched into on the old principle of edi problems being decided by opinion The American public school 4% the greatest in the world respect, he said. adding that educa-- tion has made more progress in this country within the past 10 years than it ever has made in any country dur- ing a similar period of time.
