BALLOU ADVOCATES STUDIES BY BOARD Would Refer 45 Recommen- dations of Efficiency Bureau to Education Body. In the third section of his annual tendent of schools, advocates that each of the 45 recommendations made by the Bureau of Efficiency be transmit- ted to proper committees of the Board of Education for consideration and re- port to the board.

Careful Study Urged. Commenting on the recommendations, Dr. Ballou explained that “some of the recommendations have to do with the | organization and administration of the | schools for which the Board of Educa- tion properly holds the school officials directly responsible, and some of the recommendations have to do with estimates submitted for the school year ending June 30, 1928, which, of course, are now of only general aca- demic interest.” Each recommenda- tion, he asserts, should receive careful consideration by the board, and his own suggestion that they be submitted to board committees was made as a means of best attaining that end.

Once the ship is fully fueled and gassed, it is necessary to have a favor- able ocean weather map and also good local conditions which permit taking the ship out of the hangar. It is quite likely that cross-hangar winds may de- lay the departure one day or more, just as those winds delayed ‘and at last caused abandonment of a projected in- land flight. Passengers were told today to stand by at their homes and hotels tomorrow “on_the possibility” that the Zeppelin might leave in the late afternoon. They were told to limit their to 50 pounds each and to provide themselves with flying coats and other warm cloth- Unless weather causes a change in plans, the dirigible will follow the northern Great Circle route home, rather than the longer Southern course coming over to avoid storms.
