' B—16 RGE INCREASE I RECREATION FUNDS Citizens Tell School Board $42,000 Is Inadequate at Present. An increase of $15,000 in the annual appropriation for the Community Cen- ter Department of the District school system was urged before the Board of Education late yesterday by a delegation | of citizens headed by J. G. Yaden,' chairman of the Education Committee of the Federation of Citizens' Associa- tions. . | In the same meeting the School Board agreed to permit the circularization of | public school employes by the Munici- | pal Employes, Group Insurance Asso- ciation so that teachers and others in! the school em may purchase insur- ance at unusually low rate In appealing for the inc d ap- | propriation for community c work | Mr. Yaden pointed out that while the residential areas were growing school buildings ha $42,000 for “several years.” With some | communities so far removed from com- | mercial amusement places, he said, th mnecessity of providing additional com. munity centers, where not only enter- tainment but educational a(‘li\llll‘s: might be set up, is becoming more acute, Suggests Appeal to Congress. Dr. J.

In the e meeting, the board appointed Robert Smith Anderson to fill the vacancy.

The recent proposal that Washing- | ton school children be fingerprinted was disapproved by the board yester- day on the specific recommendation of Dr. Prank W. Ballou, superintendent, that that means of identification is at present too closely associated with criminology and that no particular value is attached to it in the schools. Portable Eliminated. The board yesterday requested the Commissioners_ to remove from the | Powell Junior High School grounds the portable school which has been in serv- | ice there. The building, it was pointed out, no longer is needed for school pur- | poses and its removal eliminates it permanently from the list of portables. Dr. E. C. Higbie, president of Wilson | Teachers' Coilcge, yesterday was pre- | sented to the school board by Dr Ballou. Dr. Higble will take over his office at the college this morning.

The request for & survey of the cus-| todial employes' stitus was referred to | Dr. Ballou. The Natlonal Association | of Federal Employes pointed out in a communication to the board that the custodial employes receive no sick leave with pay and requested the study with & view to correcting the inequity.
