IDAM. LIND NAMED 3 THE EVENING | { | * STADOL DRECTOR Brightwood Principal Suc- ceeds Late Miss Hardy. | Board Hears Boxing Talk. Miss Ida M. Lind, principal of the Brightwood School and herself a prod- uct of the District of Columbia public &chools, was appeinted director of ele- mentary school instruction by the Board of Education at its meeting late yes- terday. In acting favorably on the recom- mendation of Dr. Frank W. Ballou, su- perintendent, the School Board made Miss Lind the successor to Miss Rose Lees Hardy. assistant superintendent in charge of primary instruction, who died October 26, last The meeting at which this important post was filled was one of the most pro- tracted of the year and was marked by 70 minutes of testimony taking on the part of Columbus University to use the McKinley High School gymnasium for the presentation of its intercollegiate boxing program yeferred the petition to its Committee on Community Use of Buildings for a report. Selection Popular. The appointment of Miss Lind to the Mew position of director of elementary 8chool instruction s being hailed throughout the school system today as cne of the most popuiar personnel changes in recent years. There has been an increasing demand for recogni- tion of Washington's own people in the filling of the higher positions in the schools. and in this respect Miss Lind's appointment is accepted as “perfect” by her associats She received her clementary and secondary school - in- struction “in the Washington public £chools, having been graduated from astern High School in 1901. In 1903 ohe was graduated from the then Wil- on Normal School. She pursued uni- ersity courses at George Washington TUniversity, from which institution she %ook the A. B. degree in 1924. he studied at Teachers' College, Co- umbia University, New York, where she obtained her master’s degree. Became Teacher in 1903. Entering the local schools as a teacher immediately after her gradua- | tion from Wilson Normal School in 1903, Miss Lind continued regular class teaching until 1909, when she was des- dgnated a model first grade teacher. In this position her class was used as a demonstration for other teachers. In 1911 she was assigned to the office of the director of primary instruction, where she became a special assistant in charge of third and fourth grade super- vision. In 1931 she was made admin- istrator of the Brightwood Demonstra- tion School, which is a model for the entire city Following Miss Hardy'’s death, her po- sition of assistant superintendent was eliminated and the new position of di- rector of elementary school instruction Wwas established. In this new office Miss Lind will take over the work performed | by Miss Hardy and the new system is expected to produce improved adminis- tration for the system. The prolonged discussion on intercol- legiate boxing was occupied chiefly by John R. Fitzpatrick, dean of Columbus | University, who presented a_lengthy defense of the sport itself. When he ‘had talked for nearly half an hour, however, Dr. F. I A. Bennett inter- -pupted him with the suggestion that the ¥8chool Board didn't have to be “sold” +on intercollegiate boxing so much as on | the wisdom of presenting it in the wchools. Dr. Benneit asked for an ex- }:hnlmm of the difference between “prize fighting” and “intercollegiate ¢ boxing” in view of Mr. Fitzpatrick’s re- | peated assertions that a wide gulf sep- arated the two phases of the gloved sport. Mr. Fitzpatrick gave the re- mainder of his time to W. A. Roberts, assistant corporation counsel and mem- der of the Columbus University faculty, for the explanation. Explains Boxing Rules. Mr. Roberts pointed out that while the rules permit any number of rounds in profesional boxing, amateur boxing | Tules allow only three three-minute rounds, with additional rounds if neces- sary to settle a doubtful decision. tercollegiate boxing rules are still more strict, he pointed out, limiting the bout 1o three two-minute rounds with no extras, He presented for the board’s inspection thickly cushioned 2!,-inch | boxing gloves as the lightest glovés per- auitted in intercollegiate bouts and compared them with a similariy di played pair of the “heaviest” gloves | ermitted in professional boxing. The | atter seemed almost padless in com- parison, Mr. Roberts explained further | that no paid seconds are permitted in the “corners” end no coaching or “egging on” is per- mitted during a bout. Likewise, he #aid, applause, cheering or calling out by the spectators is prohibited with an | immediate halt of the bout if the rule violated. Both Mr. Fitzpatrick and Mr. Rob- | erts insisted that no charge would be made for admission to the bouts in the McKinley High School gymnasium. Even the use of the so-called “athletic cards” would not be resorted to. Ad- mission would be by “invitation” only *and these invitations would be distrib- +uted and controlled by Columbus Uni- jversity. Mr. Fitzpatrick reminded the ! ard that other universities, includ- ng George Washington University, | have been granted use of the public school gymnasium for their sport L.]-nu. He named specifically basket all, Pupil Transfers Authorized. Following the discussion, the board referred the question of boxing to its committee on community use of build- ings, The group, composed, it 5o hap- pens, of the threc woman members— Mi Philip Sidney Smith, chairman; Mrs, Henry Grattan Doyle and Mrs Mary A. McNeil—will consider the question, prepare a report, and present it at the meeting of the board next Wednesday. 3 During the business session which A holders of t Company, for such come before it, s as may properly held at the office of of 1sth w E.

The superintendent in- formed the beard that while the enroll- { ment at Eastern now is 2 a “congestion figure"—the total will be at least 2,795 at the beginning of the new semester on February 1. This en- rollment figure is based on the known number of new students entering East- and the known number of present students who will be graduated at the end of this term. authorized the superintendent to de- cline to admit any new non-resident students to Eastern Similar conditions of crowding are in vlew for the new Roosevelt High School where the enrollment on February 1 will be 1828 with a building capacity of 1,500. The school probably will be | able. through economies of space and teaching force, to handle its situation | this year, Dr. Ballou advised the board, but he insisted that some measures will have to be adopted to enable the school to cope with the anticipated congestion next September. The board agreed to ask the Com- missioners to speed up work on the | Wilson Teachers’ College, which is be- ing repaired follewing its evacuation last Winter when cracks appeared in its walls, and the old Business High School. The latter school is being re- habilitated for use of colored children and, when opened for elementary and junior high school use, it will afford much needed relief of congestion in the heavily populated central section of the city .

His method is dramatic and | romantic, his materials color and char- acter, Senor de Quiros calls his series of 30 paintings “Scenes of Gaucho Life in the Province of Entre Rios (1850-1870).” The exhibition will open with a reception from 2:30 until 4:30 pm. Senor de Quiros, the Argentine Ambassador, Senor Dr. Felipe A. Espil, and Dr. Charles G.

The exhibition will be open to the general public daily from 10 a.m to 4 p.m. be- ginning Saturday. Severed from Influences. Schooled by Europeans, the Argen- tine found himself only after he sev- ered himself from influences and | painted what he chose in the way he wanted. He was born in the gaucho country in 1881 of Spanish and Portuguese ex- traction. His father, an attorney, re- sented his early artistic attempts and sent him off to work in a commercial firm at Buenos Aires at 15 ‘While there, however, he met a well-known | painter of historical subjects, Nicolas Cotanda, and young Caesareo became his puptl. All the laconic parent could do was admonish the young artist “elther painter, or shoemaker.” Men of the pampas did not admire artists. Senor de Quiros studied two years with Cotanda, and then completed a six-year course at the Academia de Bellas Artas in three years, winning, | upon graduation, the coveted prix de Rome, which entitled him to four years of foreign study and travel.
