At the time of his death, Dr. Learne was alone. Mrs. Learned had been yis- | iting relatives in South Manchester, | | Conn., and was to have joined him in | the next few da Funeral plans have been delayed pen |ing the outcome of an inquest which | | was ordered. | In a resolution adopted today the | Board of Education declared Dr. Learned's death “brings a deep sense | { of grief and a personal and public loss | not only to the board but to the com- | v. which he served s> well and 50 | | unselfishly.” The statement was written by Mrs. | Henry Grattan Doyle. Board members { had been notified of Dr. Learned's death a meeting yesterday, after which y delegated Mrs. Doyle, Dr. J. Hay- Johrson and Henry Gilligan to t a resolution. | _The statement also pointed out that | Dr. Learned_brought to his duties as | presiding officer “a judicial tempera- | ment, a broad knowledge cf educational | | problems and the dispassionate view- | | point of the trained scholar.” | | Was Tl When He Left. Harry O. Hine, School Board secre- | tary, received a letter yesterday from Dr. Learned, which the educator had written Saturday afternoon and dis- patched by airmail that evening. In the letter, which returned to Mr. Hine the introductory statement for the School Board's annual report, Dr. Learned expressed regret at not having | | attended to that duty before he left Washington. He explained that he was | unwell when he left here and deeply | concerned, over several problems which confronted him. Dr. Learned's death came exactly one month after he presented his resigna- tion from the Disfrict Board ‘of Educa- tion to the District Supreme Court. On September 12 Dr. Learned wrote the justices that “financial and professional Teasons” made it necessary for him to return_to the faculty of Leland Stan- ford University. The following day Dr. Learned himself delivered the letter to Chief Justice Alfred Wheat of the District of Columbia Supreme Court. About_to_withdraw from the school oard, Dr. Learned had taken into his ! | confidence only a few of his associates |a | the; den on that board and Dr. Frank W. Bal lou, superintendent of schools. It was not until two weeks later, when Harry O. Hine, secretary of the board, at- tempted to obtain his signature to some official public school papers, that it was learned he had departed for Cali- forni: i | His withdrawal from the school board left that body in a quandary with respect to its officers. Following the expiration of Mrs. Philip Sidney Smith's term as vice president last Spring, both she and Mrs. Henry Grat- tan Doyle, wife of the dean of George Washington University's junior col- lcge, were mnominated for that office. Dr. Learned’s departure from the city left the Board of Education with no officers. At its last meeting, last Wed- nesday, however, Mrs. Smith was; chosen’ temporary chairman. Educated at Harvard. | Born in Exeter, N. H, on March 21 1868, Dr. Learned was educated af Harvard University, the University 0f| Chicago and at Yale University. He | also did graduate work at the Univer- sity of Leipzig. On June 14, 1899, he married Miss Emilie Cheney of South Manchester, Conn., who survives him. H- also is survived by three children, John, Frank Cheney and Horace Bfish- nell Learned. An educator by profession, Dr. Learned wXs headmaster of a pri\'uhe} school at Plymouth, Mass.; & teacher | of history at the University School in | Chicago; was director of the depart- ment of history, Armour Institute of Technology in' Chicago, and had been an assistant professor at Harvard He served with the Bureau of Inves- tigation of the Department of Justice from 1917 to 1919, Held Other Posts, other educational pursuits in- cluded lecturer of history at Sheffield Scientific School at Yale, lecturer on history at Wesleyan University and lecturer and associate professor of Eu- ropean history at Stanford University. Dr. Learned first was appointed to the Board of Education of the District of Columbia, July 1, 1917, serving on that board with one interval until Sep- tember 12 of this year, when he submit- ted his resignation to the justices of the District Supreme Court. He first resigned as a member of the board on December 21, 1921, and was reappointed July 1, 1925. He subsequently was re- nppointed in 1928 and 1931.

WASHINGTON'S LIFE FILMV UNDER WAY Four Reel Movne Designed for School Use Begun at Mount Vernon. Production of a motion picture de- picting the life of George Washington is now progressing under the direction of the United States George Washing- ton Bicentennial Commission, with the | historic scenes of the first President’s own time forming the setting for the film. Mount Vernon, for the first time in its long existence, has been thrown open to cameramen making the pic- ture, which will be a silent one. The firm. which is expected to be ready by February, 1932, will emphasize those features of the life of George Wash- ington which reveal his character and which will reflect the conditions of \ns life and times, the Commission ex- plained today. Other scenes in the film are being “shot” at Kenmore, the home of Wash- ington’s_sister in Fredericksburg, Va., and at the nearby house in Fredericks- burg brought by Washington for his mother during the Revolution, when | he wished her to move into town from her farm.
