Ballou, superintendent of schools, after being approved at & meeting of the | Piney Branch Citizens' Association in{ Hamline Methodist Episcopal Church | last night. The letter replied to a letter from Dr. Ballou to Edgar B. Henderson, president cf the association, defending the method of appointing teachers and cthers in the school system. Calls Action Demoralizing. The letter characterized as ‘“de- | moralizing in the extreme” the appoint- ment _of outsiders, as in the case of Miss Julia Hahn, supervisor of divisicn 3 of the scho:l system, in view of teach- ers already in the system having been quelitying themselves after many experience for promotion to places that may from time to time occur in the school system.” Dr. Ballou informed the association that records of &ppaintments from July 1, 1920, to July 1, 1928, showed that of | a total of 119 appointments 107 were selected from within the District of Co- lumbia, leaving only 12 from outside. Whil» stating he did not have com- plete records on appointments from July 1, 1928, to July 1, 1931, he said he was having the records for this period compiled. and expressed the belief the ratio would show about 90 per cent of | the appointments made from within the Distrist., | = i Dr_Baliou defended the appointment ! of Miss Hahn, indicting that he felt her qualifications were sufficiently bet- | ter in comparison wi:h the records of | those eligible in the Distric. for the Dosition. | He called etlention to the policy ad-pted by the Borrc of Education to >ke appointments from within the District where a person here has quali- fications equal to those of an outsider | under consideration for appointment This policy, he said, has been fo'lcwed W.
