Admitting that nothing has come to its attention which would indicate any. Irregularities in connection with the receipt and distribution of supplies and equipment, “still the absence of a rmper(y accounting control breeds care- essness and invites leakage,” the re- | port declared. |" An attack on the present system of | selecting janitors, - which the bureau sald was accomplished by the impres- sion applicants made off the superin- tendent of janitors during interviews, and which required “no tests of any kind” or no regular investigation of references, was made in the report, | which also charged the custodial man- | agement has been “lax in the perform- | ance” of its duty in not issuing instruc- | tions on the operation of heating and ventilating equipment. Inspection Plan Urged. Furthermore, the report said, no defi- nite program of inspection for the sys- | tem ‘s a whole has teen established, largely in connection with answering complaints of principals, Janiwrs and heaith officers, System Is Scored. Declaring that the present system of handling repairs to school buildings | “Indicates that the plan of mainte- | nance s unsystematic and haphazard,” the bureau suggests the remedy in the | transfer of the “entire responsibility” for this activity to school authorities At present Ut 15 divided between the municipal architect’s oMee and school | ofMcials, . Supervision of this work should be |piaced in charge of & qualified me- chanical engineer or Aarchitect, who would rank Rs an assistant superin- {tendent of schools. Supervision over |the custodial and engineering forces lof the school system and the work of | repalr and replacement of furniture also should be assigned to the proposed office, in the bureau’s opinion The report opens with the statement that the relationship between the Board lof Education and the Commissioners, { which was established by the organic act of 1906, ng the Board of Edu- eation, “has on the whole given gen- | eral sutisfaction.” It then turns to the | question of estimates of the Bowrd of Fducation and urges that the repealed Jaw providing that the annual estimates of the bourd be transmitted by the Commissioners with thelr estimates, ac- companied by such recommendations s they muy deem proper, be re-enacted. Law Definition Asked. In sdditign, responsibility of the Board of Education in the matters of the acquisition of school sites and the construction and repair of school sites should be clearly defined by law, the bureau holds, suggesting that land for school sites and school playgrounds thould be purchased by the Commis- eloners on recommendation of the {board. After consultatfon with the hoard, the Commissloners should be charged with construction of all school buildings, the buretn maintaing Appointment of members of the board, eport states, "under present condl- should be by the President, with | eonfirmation by the Benate, “With ref. | rence to an elective achool heard,” the { report explained, “the Bureau of EM- slency fec's that the matter of the en- franchisemont of the citisens of the District of Columbia Is one wholly out- side the scope of this ipygetigation, und visits to school buildings are made | forl | school buildings. 11t 1s believed that any decision by Con- gress in the matter of an elective Board of Education would only follow the granting of the franchise in the District. ‘The plan of organization of the Wash- ington school system is generally satis- factory, in the bureau’s opinion, “and under proper management, should ade- quately serve its purpose of securing an economical and efficient administration of the public schools.” Explaining had no “radical changes to recommend, the report added, “we do feel that sev- eral changes should be made in order to secure a more effective operation of the school system.” Recommendations Mad® These recommendations included: Transfer of supervision of the white Junior high schools from the first assistant superintendent to the assist- ant superintendent in charge of the organization and management of ele- mentary schools; suthority of the su- pervising principals should be extended to include the organization of junior high schools in their respective divi- sions; the two positions of white and colored directors of kindergartens should be abolished when the present incumbents have retired and their du- ties transferred, respectively, to white assistant superintenden: . in charge of instruction in elementary schools and the colored director of pri- mary instruction. Explaining that the Park View School cannot be considered typical of the modern platoon school as operated in other cities, the bureau recommends that the board undertake a platoon school experiment by establishing two platoon schools, ane white and one col- ored, by adapting to this purpose two of the new standard 16-room elementary It is further urged that these two platoon schools should be paired with the two non-plat®n schools, similar in size and in composi= tion of population, Shortage Is Seen. Taking up the five-year bullding pro- gram, the report said that at the time of the law's ennctment the pro- ram would cost $20,185,000. On this asis appropriations of $4,037,000 an- nually for five years would have been necessary to complete the program as planned. Appropriations applicable to the projects included in the five-year building program during the fiscal years 1026, 1927 and 19238 totaled 7,250, and at the annual rate of $4,087,000 contemplated by the act a tofal of $12,111,000 would have been necessary for these three years. The program will therefore be $2,833,750 tn arrcars at the close of the present fiscal year, the bureau declared. Construction items in the 1928 appro- priation act will result in a reduction of mbout 40 rooms in the general shortage of school apace.

If the\program is carried out as originally planned the shortage will practically be edminated by the end of 1930, declared the report. ‘The report described “as duplication of effort” the present plan of recom- mending awards in connection with the procurement of supplies and equipment. This objection may be overcome, it was added, by establishing a board of award for school supplies and equipment, con- sisting of not less than three nor more than five members appointed by the Commissioners, ‘Warehouses Needed. The bureau found “no entirely satis- factory system of storage and distribu- tion of supplies and equipment can be made eflective for the public schools until, adequate storage space is pro- vided.” “The present storchouse, it was held, does not contain sufficient floor space, it 18 poorly, arranged for storage purposes and it 15 so located that double handling and double truckage is necessary. Adequate space for the re- ceipt, inspection, storage and distribu- tion of school supplies should be pro- ;lg;:ih in the broposed Government varehouse, according to s recsofimmenda;.lrm. . 1hSk tireau ecause of the unsatisfactor - house conditions, the rt-;:::(gi Sm{;e inspection of supplies and equipment cannot be placed on an entirely satis- :?;:‘?:v nas e Ugger the heading of and altera < fepair n of buildings the “The school buildings have not hees kept in a satisfactory cund':z‘ntu:m ot repair for many years on account of the insufficiency of funds provided for their upkeep as well as the uns: tematic methods in use for handling bullding maintenance work.

Attached to the report are several pages prepared by the United States Public Health 8ervice on school health | supervision. ‘This report states the average cost of school health superv sion for each child was only 88 cents, which sum “indicates the hopeless in- adequacy of the present organization due to lack of both funds and appre- clation of effort.” Other cities arc spending from $1 to $2 per child, the report explained. If the $139,100 health budget were enacted, it would increase the amount spent on child health in the schools to | $1.80 and “would place the school health supervision among the leaders, but not first,” the report said. The report concluded by listing 12 suggestions for improvement in the es- sential features of the school building and five recommendations for future | planning of bulldings and playgrounds. | | ——— 42 CONVICTS OFF FOR LEAVENWORTH | | Terms Range From 18 Months to} Life and Total 536 Years. | son, Robert: Sergt.
