C. SCHOOLS IN YEAR’S REVIEW (Continued From Thirteenth Page.) « finding inconsequential sympathy among school children. The committee found that most of the communistic activity carried on here among school children was done by one or two under the in- parental guidance. Dr. Ballou, however, issued one of his rare “orders” to the effect it at all school gatherings where the d ty of the exercise would not be lessened, the act. He further ordered the encour- | agement of patriotic activities.

A few days later Dr. Abram Simon, a former president of the school Gboud. was appointed to succeed Mr. ans. Clark Is Appointed. In a short-lived but intense cam- aign of enforcement of the anti-smoke \Ww of the District, several school build- ings were cited for violation of its pro- visions and Mr. Crane was nam warrants sworn out by the officer. An assistant corporation coun- sel prosecuted the case and Mr. Crane was fined $10. He engaged private counsel for his own defense when he was advised that the corporation coun- sel would not defend him even though he was an agent of the District gov- ernment. Crane had been in the school system only a few months when health officer charged him with respon- sibility for the smoke violation. Crane contended that if any individual was nsible for the violation it was er the janitor who permitted the emission of the smoke or the principal directly in charge of the building. ‘The past year witnessed also the ap- pointment of Eugene A. Clark as presi- dent of the Miner Teachers' College. Mr. Clark had been an assistant super- intendent of colored schools.
