In the first section of his annual re- | port to the Board of Education, made | public yesterday, Dr. Frank W. Ballou. | superintendent of schools, has given an accounting of his stewardship by re- yviewing the administration of the system | and the most important incidents which | marked its conduct from September 21, 11927, to June 23, 1928. | The period covered in the superinten- dent's report embraced the last school | year, and in recalling the events on the 'school calendar, Dr. Ballou incoporated in his report extracts of the minutes of | school board meetings and, in some in- stances, the correspondence of school officials with outside agencies or indi- viduals, relating to the incidents. Makes Little Comment. Presenting in the first section of his report, 23 individual topics, the super- intendent has made little comment on ! the affairs of last year, choosing to men- tlon in the vast majority of cases merely the facts under the various subjects. | Perhaps the most important items in the list, from the point of the pubilc | notice they attracted as they transpired, are: The establishment of the first { community institute in the schools; the establishment of a policy of bringing to the atention of the Board of Education | all outside lectures which are dffered for | delivery. to the pupils; the poll of citi- i 7ens and civic groups on the status of | married teachers: the passage of the ! new child labor law, and the adoption of an inhospitable attitude by the board | toward the promiscuous conauct of essay contests. The initial community institute, Dr. Ballou recalls, was announced October 14, 1927, when in a circular distributed throughout the system, he outlined the | plan under which the institute was to | be conducted. The institute, Dr. Ballou set forth in that circular which he has written into his report, was designed in accordance with the school officials’ | policy of using the school building to promote cultural advancement in Wash- | The Washington Society of the Fine Arts and the Public Library co-operated with the Community Cen- | ter Department in the planning of the | institute, and with a fee of $3 for the | entire course, the following persons | were presented at intervals from No- vember 3 to April 11, Sigmund Spaeth, music critic and lecturer; George A. Dorsey, phychologist; Hugar Elliott, di- rector of educational service, Metro- politan Museum of Fine Arts; Cornelius Otis Skinner, author and monologist: William E. Dodd of the Chicago Uni versity; the Flonzaley Quartet; Ger- | rit A. Beneker, artist, lecturer and author; John Erskine. author and critic; Earle Rowe, director of the Rhode Island School of Design; Wil- liam Starr Myers of Princeton Uni- versity, and the Kedroff Quartet. Is Called Success. “The first Community Institute was an entire success, both financially and from the standpoint of the entertain- | ment provided. The attendance ex- ceeded expectations and it was pos- sible to add the Kedoff Quartet with no additional expense to the ticket holders,” Dr. Ballou’s report points out. ‘The adoption by the Board of Educa- tlon of a new policy toward outside lec- tures, under which all addresses to students on ‘“controversial subjects” shall be reviewed by the board before they are authorized, is recalled by Dr. Ballou as having its origin in the pro- test against the Women's Christian Temperance Union lectures on narcotics | and aleoholic drink. Following consi¢- | eration of objection to the W. C. T. U. lectures at the board meetings on No- | members was appointed to draft a re-| ly to the Assoclation Against the Pro- | Rmuon Amendment, complainant, and at the meeting of December 7 the com- mittee's reportsrecommending that au- thority for the delivery of all such lec- tures be sought directly from the board | was adopted. Meanwhile, on Novem- | ber 25, a letter, which Dr. Ballou in- | cludes in his report, was sent to the Association Against the Prohibition Amendment. In this letter the board advised the assoclation that in the fu- ture no lectures of “sectarian or con- triversial or political character” will be given in the public schools. ‘The supcrintendent covered the poll | on the employment of married women as_teachers in the schools by includ- | EDUCATIONAL.

According to the quoted report of the secretary, 63 groups in- | formed the board they were favorable | to married teachers. while only 7 ex-| | pressed opposition to married women | as teachers, Essays Are Curbed. At _his instigation, Dr. Ballou asserts, | the Board of Education decided to curb the ever-mounting number of essay contests conducted in the schools by setting up certain requirements for the competitions. The proposed contest, | the board decided, should have such a | direct relationship to the regular course of study as to make the contest of real value and that any essay contest au- thorized in the schools should be con- ducted under such rules as the school | | officials may prescribe. In the same | action, the board placed its committee | | on athietics and playgrounds in charge | of essay contests and matters dealing ! with their approval and conduct. In his review of the passage of the new child labor law, Dr. Ballou merely | included in his report the circular which ! he issued last June 27, containing the | most, essential provisions of the law. | He accompanies the circular with a | | statement that the law was passed by Congress and approved by the Presi- dent, May 29, 1928, to become eflecnv!‘ July 1, 1928. : !
