¥24 SCHOOL CHANGES URGED BY CITIZENS Rhode Island Avenue Asso- ciation Asks Appointment of Miss Abbie M. Sisson. Devoting most of their meeting in the | Sherwood Presbyterian Sunday school | hall to school matters, the Rhode Island | Avenue Citizens' Association last night made three requests concerning school“ buildings and grounds and one concern- | ing the teaching personnel, while an! attendance contest for a cash prize to be awarded one of the schools in the| community was inaugurated. On motion of E. G. Sievers, chairman of the school committee, the organi- zation passed a resolution urging the Board of Education to appoint Miss Abbie M. Sisson, principal of the Lang- | don School and a teacher at that insti- | tution for the last 35 years, adminis-| trative principal of the new Langdon | 16-room school building when com-| pleted. School Addition Asked. ‘The citizens joined with the Parent- Teacher Associations of the Langdon, ‘Woodridge and John Burroughs Schools in requesting the construction of an eight-unit addition to the Woodridge | School, to include an assembly hall and | ymnasium. Other resolutions passed recommended the razing of the present Langdon School to afford more playground space | as soon as the new building is finished and the proper landscaping of the grounds around the Woodridge and John Burroughs Schools. FEach member attending the meeting | was permitted to vote for one of the | three s ols in the community which | are competing for a $25 prize to be | awardeg the school having the greatest | numb:F of votes at the end of the year. Although ma lice of the twel pri for failing ; td arrest speed n the neighborhood | were voiced, the association went on | favoring an increase in pay | nd firemen now classified in | the lower grades. Surprise Program Planned. Mrs. Eppa L. Norris, chairman of the meeting's committee, announced | the first of four community meetings would be held at the John Burroughs School June 5, when a ‘“surprise pro- gram,” given entirely by local talent, | would be presented | The citizens were entertained last night by Mrs. .
