RAISE STANDARD 1 Require 3-Year Course for ~ Elementary Grades and De- gree for High School. £ < The Board of Education cleaned its _calendar of a mass of pending matters at its final session of the school year | _yesterday afternoon, chief among which | “was the approval given a report of Dr. | O D.C. TEACHERS ments for our puj mduwyhued-:ge well in college,” he told E. Hilton Jack- son, an attorney, who made a personal protest, against the action of the board, “we have an educational responsibility for the students who do not go to col- Another protest ignored by the rd was that of the Cleveland Park tizens' Association against the pro- posed playground for the John Eaton School to be established at Macomb |street between Thirty-fourth’ and Thirty-fifth streets.

Send Protest to Commissioners. ‘The board forwarded to the District | Commissioners a letter from Charles rice Hopkins of 4522 Fifteenth strest, protesting that his son, Charles Webster Hopkins of the Woodward -Frank W. Ballou, as superintendent of | Senool for Boys of the Young Men's schools. raising the eligibility standards | of teachers entering the Washington public schools on or after July 1, 1930. These higher ‘standards, having no bearing upon present teachers, will con- tinue from that date until June 30, #1933, by which time it is expected the | Neackors' college will be opened. [ The new standards establish a three- | year normal course And corresponding | Taises in the eligibility requirements of | teachers in the junior and senior high | schools. In addition to the existing re- | quirements of teachers in the senior and junior high grades, all teachers | “entering them after July 1, 1930, must | present a master's degree from an ac- credited institution. | No Dearth of Teachers. FElementary teachers, upon entrance, must have a diploma showing comple- tion of a three-year normal course, in-| stead of two years as now required. A certificate approved by the Board of | Education will be acceptable in sub- | stitution for elementary teachers. Dr. Ballou disagreed with a_ sugges- tion Taised at the board meeting that since the addition of another year of | normal work provides for no increase | in salary, it would be more difficult to secure new teachers. He declared there | 215 no dearth of qualified people for | teaching positions, pointing out that S. “there are at present 140 applicants on the waiting list for elementary positions in the white schools and 570 applicants for similar positions in the colored di~ ~ visions. Next in importance to the raising oly eligibility requirements was the action _of the board in recommending an in- ¥ispection this Summer of all portable *.school buildings in the city by" the municipal architect. The board also ¢ went on record against the erecting of additional portable schools in approving Dr. Ballou's report calling for an inves- tigation of existing ones. There are 75 portables in use at the present time, 53 having been condemned because of damage by recent storms. The inves- tigation will be conducted with a view to determining how many half-day schools will be required next year. Lengthen School Day. 5. Despite protests from the Teachers’ * Union and other civic organizations, the %board went on final record in support of its action in lengthening the school day in senior high schools by half an hour. The action was taken in approv- ing a report by Dr. Ballou in sstting forth his reasons why the board snould se revious iy p action in this . During the discussion Dr. Bal “pointed out that the school s B (5 Washington is the shortest of any city of its size, shorter by a month even, than the school year in New ¥ork and ston. “While we have met college reqyire. Christian _Association, had been dis- criminated against in the selection of the District’s candidate for the Edison scholarship award. Dr. Ballou ex- plained to the board that young Hop- kins was sixth choice among the Bine candidates selected. Mrs. Alvin W. Miller, wife of the late principal of Central High School, re- ceived & temporary appointment as at- tendance officer for two months, after which she will be assigned to other Guties. Owing to repairs being made at Central High School, Dunbar High School and Burrville School, the board designated Western High, Shaw Junior High and the Deanwood School as vo- cation institutions. At an executive session, the board ap- proved a former poll of its members fa- voring the licensing of the Washington College of Music to grant three types of diplomas. As forecast in The Star, no nctice | was taken during the board meeting of the educational campaign proposed by the Prohibition Bureau for use in the public schools of the country. The matter not being officially befoce the board, it was not even discussed. | Changes in personnel were approved by the board as follows: Amendment and_rescindments (re- scind action of June 12)—Miss A. .
