L MARYLAND PUPLS TOMSSNO STUDY County Increases Facilities! as Congress Bars New Outsiders From D. C. Action of the House of Representa- tives Friday in adopting an amendment to the District appropriation bill pro- hibiting Maryland and Virginia pupils in the future from cnrolilng in the ‘Washington public schools, will cause no hardship or inconvenience to the Mont- gomery County school population, coun- ty officials announced today, hesnusa-y new school buildings and additions to the present schools will be built during the Summer months which will accom. modate all Montgomery County pupil without congestion. County pupils now enrolled in District of Columbia schools may continue until their education is completed. | In canying out this program Mont- gomery County authorities continu: their intensive program of school build: ing which was adopted in the legislative session of 1924. The last two sessions of the Maryland Legislature have authorized $1.310.000 for the construc- tion and enlargement of school build- ings in the county. During the past five Years mew grade schools have been built at Bethesda. Cabin John-Glen | Echo, Takoma Park and East Silver | Spring. and the existing grade schools at Kensington, Woodside, Rockville and Gaithersburg have been materially en- larged. These schools are all n-gnrded‘ as being in the area affected by the | proposed closing of the District schools | to Maryland pupils. . Two New High Schools. The new high schools for the Chevy Chase-Bethesda section at Leland and | the Takoma Park-Silver Spring-Wood- side section have been built during the last several years. i County authoritics state that at no | time during the past four vears have they been unable to accept the children of any suburban neighborhood for en- Tollment in a modern school serving that territory. | The county officials expressing their | intention to continue this policy in the | next Legisiature include State Senator Eugene Jones, Dr. e L. Edmonds, chairman of the Montgomery County celegation in the House of Dele 3 Speaker E. Brooke Lee, Dr. Benjamin C. Perry. president of the board of county commissioners, representing the western section of Montgomery County; County Commissioner Lacy Shaw, repre- senting the eastern section of Montgom- ery Cou: and Dr. Edward C. Broome, county superintendent of education. | County authorities believe that the | normal growth of the county school | population will require the addition of a number of rooms during the coming Jear to the new Chevy Chase-Bethosda | High School and to the Takoma Park Grade School. Two-room additions may be required to the Takoma-Silver Spring i High School and East Silver Spring | Grade School. | New Location Approved. | A new school location has been gen- erally 2pproved by citizens of the west- | ern suburban district of Montgomery County in the nelghborhood of Somer- set, and the county authorities hope to ba able to build this school during. the coming Summer. The last session of the State Legis- lature authorized the issuance by the | board of county commissioners of $250,000 in short-term county notes to meet any emsrgency which might arise | in the county requiring a capital im- provement. This method of financing will be used to aliow the construction of such additional school units as a careful survey by the school board and county commissioners may determine as nacessal mrs for the enrollment in the Fall of 1928. The county officials state that this| suthorization by the last Legislature will enable them to cope adequately The action taken by the House of Representatives in excluding Maryland children from the District schools will not be allowed to cause a hardship to the Montgomery County school popula- tion, due to the program and fore- thought of the county government. sion of the Legislature for the construc- tion of gymnasiums and additional as- sembly halls at the Rockville High School. 2t the Chevy Chase-Bethesda | High School and at the Takoma-Siiver Spring High School. 1f the board ap- proves this project. the school board an- nounces the gymnasiums can be built} during the coming Summer and be; ready for the Fall term. !
