PROVSD RESENTE BYSCAODL BARD Action of Budget Bureau in Dictating Use of Business High Riles Members. Aroused over the action of the Bu- Vreau of the Budget in attaching to the $300,000 item in the District budget for the beginning of construc- tion on the new Business Hig.. Sch the proviso that this sum be appro- riated only if the present Business igh School Building be used after its abandonment as an elementary school for colored pupils, the Board of Educa- 1930’ that use while several other members admitted they were undecided as to the wisest course to pursue. At the same meeting, the opposing colored members supported the proposition that the struc- ture be used to house jointly the Abbot Vocational School, now in an old build- ing at Fifth street and New York ave- nue, and the Americanization School, at present in the old Webster School at ‘Tenth and H streets. ‘The District of Columbia Public School a resolution opposing the use of the building for elementary school purposes and advocating that it be used for vo- cational or night school purposes. Consider Five-Hour Day. In deciding upon next Thursday night as the time for the citizens' conference on the budget, the board expressed its desire to have Dr. Carusi address the citizens to present the board’s views on | the school system’s financial status. Referring to an editorfal printed in The Star Monday and inspired by a news article in this newspaper the pre- | bility of the five-hour day for first and | second grade pupils was questioned, Dr. tion at its meeting yesterday afternoon; Carusi suggested at yesterday's meeting decided to meet as a committee of the whole one week from today to thrash out behind closed doors the significance ©f the proviso. ‘The 1930 budget as sent to Congre yesterday occupied the board's attes tion a second time at yesterday’s meet- ing, when, at tl suggestion of Dr. Frank W. Ballou, superintendent, it specified next Thursday night at 8 o'clock as the time fér the customary conference between school. authorities and representatives of organized citi- gens and civic bodies on the budget. When one of the board members called attention to published reports concerning the Budget Bureau's action in regard to the Bus High School appropriation, several 2r members declared they held y emphatic bureau’s course, whi=a nted to present. on of indignation seemed imminent before cooler members sug- | gested that the discussion go over until the board had had opportunity to con- | sider the budget at length. Object to Proviso. Henry L. Gilligan and Dr. J. Hayden | Johnson were among the members who | were ready to talk with emphasis upen the budget and the objectionable pr viso. Recognizing the agitation which the revelation of the Budget Bureau's action on the Business High School item introduced in the meeting, Dr. Charles F. Carusi, president, suggested that the discussion be postponed until later. Almost simultaneously Mrs. Henry Grattan Doyle, a member. of- fered the same counsel. Mrs. Philip Sidney Smith suggested that the mat- ter be referred to a committee, but Dr. Carusi declared that since the question was extremely interesting to so many members of the board, the question should be considered only by the board es a whole. He admitted, further, %thas, knowing the convictions of sev- eral members of the board concerning the future of the old REusiness building, he would suffer considerable embarrassment in appointing a com- mittee. After further discussion, Mrs. Smith moved that the board meet as a com- 4 mittee of the whole to consider the qu tion in all its aspects. At this, Mr. Gil- ligan declared he would not be bound by any action taken in exccutive m: ing and he was assured that the session would b2 for discussion only and t'nt no action would be taken. The meet- ing will be held immediately before the citizens’ conference in the Franklin Ad- ministration Building next Thursday night. Considerable opposition to the use of the present Business High School build- ing as an elementary school is antici- pated before the question is solved. At the last meeting of the school board the colored members made it known they would not approve the building for [ GVE SOMETHING ELECTRICAL~F - >\ = JA | Pro- | that Dr. Ballou seek advice from the | District Health Department on the length of the school day which should bz_imposed upon small children.

He expressed utmost sympathy with the cause of child health, declaring that if he honcstly belleved the five-hour day a menace to their physical welfare he would recommend an immediate short- ening of the day. He promised he would seek the advice of the health officer, however, for presentation in the form of a report to the board at a future meet- g. The board yesterday approved the expenditure of $58,042 of an appropri- ated sum of $100,000 for the improve- ment of certain school grounds through- out the system. The report was con- sidered at the last meeting of the board and was about to be voted upon when Dr. Johnson objected to its tardy pre- sentation and the necessity of voting on so large an expenditure cn short notice.
