KINBALL 10 RETRE BOARD VOTES, 43 G. D. Strayer, Jr., Is Appoint- ed First Statistician of D. C. Schools. ‘The District of Columbia public school system's first statistician was ap- pointed to office by the Board of Edu- cation yesterday, in the formal ap- proval of the appointment of George D. Strayer, jr., decided upon in execu- tive session Tuesday. In the same meeting yesterday, the school board ended the ardent fight which Dr. E. G. Kimball, supervising principal of the third division, and his Iriends, had made against his retire- ment at the close of the current school year, when, by a vote of 4 to 3, it de- cided Dr. Kimball must withdraw from active service June 30. ‘The board also approved the assign- formula, to conduct itself according to its real opinions. Dr. H. Barrett Learned took exception to what he regarded as an inference that inl voting to abide by the commit- | tee’s Tecommendation the board mem- | bers would not be acting according to | their convictions and Mr. Gilligan ex- [ platned that he had not meant to make such a charge. | Mrs. Doyle’s motion to give Dr. Kim- | ball another year was lost, 4 to 3, and | the vote on the committee’s recommen- dation_was identical, though in its fa- vor. Isaac Gans refused to vote and Dr. Charles F. Carusi, president of the | board, refrained from voting in the ab- sence of a tie.

Smith, former | superintendent of schools at Millville, | N. J.. as principal of Central High School, and that of Norman J. Nelson, former assistant principal of C: to be assistant principal of We T High School. Both these appointments were agreed upon at an executive s sion of the board's personnel committe Tuesday afternoon in Dr. Ballou's office, at which time seven members of the board were present In appointing Mr. Strayer as statis- tician of the school system, the board completed another step in the general improvement of the system. The board had sought & statistician for several years, but sufficient funds for the sal- ary of such an official were not made available until the last session of Con- gress, when $3,000 was appropriated for that ‘specific purpose. The incorpora- ton of such an office in the school per- sonnel was one of the recommendations of the Bureau of Efficiency in its report made last year following & complete survey of the local school situation, Trained Statistician. Mr. Strayer was graduated from Princeton University with the degree of bachelor of science in 1927. In 1928 he received the master of arts degree from Teachers’ College of Columbia University in New York. At present he is a candidate for the degree of doc- tor of philosophy at Teachers' College. Mr. Strayer comes to the Washing ton schools from Great Neck, Long Island, N. Y., where he is assistant to the superintendent of schools in charge of research. His training for the position | of statistician here included courses in educational administration, educational statistics, problems in elementary edu- cation, elementary school supervision, the psychology of elementary school subjects and mathematics. ‘The board’s action in retiring Dr. Kimball from active duty on June 30 was contested strongly at vesterday's meeting. The retirement of the officer ‘was considered in all its phases at an executive meeting of board members in Dr. Ballou's office Tuesday afternoon, when the personnel committee of the board sought to frame a recommenda- tion for presentation at yesterday's pub- lc meeting.

The Board of Education authorized Mr. Hine, its secretary, to order printed an’ “adequate number” of volumes of | the compiled Federal and District laws pertaining to schools here. The work | of compiling the various statutes was begun three years ago and, after much | research, the board was informed yes- terday, the task has been compleied | and the volume is ready for the printer. In announcing the completion of the | work, Dr. Carusi paid warm tribute to | Mr. Hine, who, he said, was largely in- | strumental in the execution of the stu- | pendous task. The laws cover & period | extending from 1804 to 1929. Personnel Changes.
