.G, COTS 70 HURT CROWDED SCHOOLS Relief of Building Program Denied in Measure Before Congress. (Continued From First Page.) increased congestion which the con- struction program that has been carried on during the past several years has greatly reduced.” The most acute congestion now in the District of Columbia public schools, Dr. Ballou and his staff of officers ex- plain, is in the senior high schools, where the excess enrollment is suffi- cient to fill immediately a new senior high school as big as any Washington now has. “Eastern High School” Dr. Ballou says, “is already on a limited double- shift program, and the Western High School is faced with the same neces- sity. Other high schools must follow suit, unless the Woodrow Wilson High School is provided for.” And yet. the House of Representa- . tives has declined to include a sum cf $475,000 to permit the beginning of construction of the Woodrow Wilson High School, which, though to be lo- cated in Chevy Chase, would tend to rr!lleve the situation throughout the city. At present Western High School, Thirty-fifth street and Reservoir road, must provide senior high school facili- ties for the entire west end of the Dis- trict of Columbia. This school's terri- tory embraces all the area west of Connecticut avenue and Rock Creek, from the Potomac River north to the Maryland-Distrit line. The new Wood- ow Wilson High Shool is to be built due north of Western, in the heart of rap- idly developing Reno, which, in turn, is surrounded by thickly settled Chevy Chase, Cleveland Park, Tenleytown, Priendship Heights and other populous ‘commuuities. Relief for Central High. ‘When the Woodrow Wilson School is opened it will embrace the entire north- ern end of Western’s present long, nar- row territory, and ‘will extend east far- ther than Western's present bounds. Hence Western will be enabled to admit pupils from a much broader area, so that it will afford real relief to the Cen- tral High School, which now is caring for nearly 900 more students than it has actual accommodations. Besides relieving Central of some of its present congestion, the relief of Western would enable Central to extend its territory farther east to ald McKinley, and, to some slight resultant degree, Eastern High School. Woodrow Wilson High School, by the same token of reaching eastward for its students, would relieve Roosevelt High School, at Thirteenth and Upshur streets, Meanwhile the “double shift” pro- is the only solution to the prob- of senior high school congestion. The “limited double shift program,” which Dr. Ballou refers to, at Eastern, ean be taken to mean that it is “lim- #ted” in its worst effects to the teach- ers. The school day, under this plan, extends from 9 o'clock in the morning until at least 4 o'clock in the after- noon. Besides the addition of a full hour to the teachers’ class room day, this plan places a burden of almost constant teaching. The plan elimi- nates all study hours which, besides af- fording the students an opportunity to prepare work which they otherwise would have to do at home after school hours, gives the teachers an opportunity to perform part of the clerical work of their positions, and to counsel with students, and countless other tasks, which the new plan either eliminates or forces the teacher to do even after the prolonged day. From the pupils’ pomnt of view, it means that one group of the student body goes to school in the morning and attends classes on an intensive program. While that group is in the cafeteria at lunch, another group or platoon is occupying the class rooms in its first lecture periods of a school day that thus begins around noon. The first group then might return to class for its final lectures while the second group adjourns to the lunch room. By the time the second group is finished lunch. the first group is dismissed for the day, and then- the second group returns to occupy class rooms until ¢ pm. Guided By Enrollment. The actual scheduling of classes under this plan would depend upon the number of pupils enrolled, the kind of courses for which they entered school and the intensity of the congestion, but this is the general theory under which a school is operated on the so-called “limited double-shift program.” It dif- fers from the older type of double-shift program in that under the former type the student body was simply halved. One-half entered school at 8:30 am. and studied until 1 pm. The second half then came in and stayed until 4:30 o'clock. That system, however, resulted in the elimination of more in- structional time than the second plan. In the junior high schools, the con- gestion is kept within the capacity of the buildings by holding back in the elementary school buildings, pupils who | ought to be enjoying the benefits of the enriched curriculum of the junior high school. In other words, instead of pro- moting the elementary school pupils who complete the seventh grade ‘work successfully to a junior high school, the authorities are forced to keep many children in their old buildings in the | old-fashioned type of eighth grade. Such a procedure, of course, works to| the disadvantage of the child, who is deprived for a longer period of the benefits of elective courses that serve | to develope his particular talents more | rapidly and thoroughly than the old| elementary school plan. Even this procedure, however, has been inadequate to relieve congestion at the Alice Deal Junior High School. This building is within a block of the site for the new Woodrow Wilson (senior) High School, and is three blocks from the Ben W. Murch (ele- mentary) School. So heavy is the en- rollment at the Deal, that the space| allowed for the future establishment of four additional classrooms in the Murch Building has been crudely par- titioned with paper building board to form four “rooms” for Deal Junior High School students. These children have to troop three blocks to their main building every time the day’s schedule calls for an assembly meeting or for other special activities, and then they must walk back at the expense of edu- cational time.

In his reference to the school ac- crease in congestion which even a one- year halt in school house construction would produce, Dr. Ballou referred to the progress made in reducing ccngestion through the building program of recent years. leadway has been made through the operation of the now| famous _five-year school building act | which Dr. Ballou fought for several years to secure. It was this building program act which gave official recog- nition to the sorry plight of the Na- tional Capital's public schools and their dire needs, and which placed Congress on record as admitting that for years Washington schools had not been given the attention they required. The progress which the five-year building program act produced is best illustrated by congestion figures. In 1920 there was a shortage of 487 class- | rooms for elementary grades. By the | first semester of this year (the latest | period covered in a school house ac- commedations survey) the elementary school needs had been reduced to 176 classrooms. In 1920 there were 78 one-room frame portable schools in | use; now there are 25. Part time was | | reduced from 150 classroom needs to 38 | rooms in 1932. Situation More Involved. ‘The senior high school situation bver the last dozen years is more involved In 1920 the total senior high school capacity was 6,900, while the enroll- ments then totaled 8,504. Through the opening of new institutions, the con- struction of additions and replacements of smaller buildings, the capacity has been increased so that today it is 12,492. However, the enrollments have more than kept pace with construction so that a total of 16,654 pupils are be- ing accommodated in these buildings today. ‘The building-by-building record shows that in 1920 Central had a capacity of 2,400 and an enrollment of 2,837, while today the capacity is officially stated as 2500 with an enrollment of 2,903. Eastern in its old building in 1920 had a capacity of 350 and an enroliment of 661, while today the new building, with a capacity of 2,000 has an enroll- ment of 2,743. Western had a capacity in 1920 of 650 and an enrollment then of 760. The construction of an addi- tion gives the present capacity as 1.350, while the enrollment has climbed to 1,796. In its old building in 1920, Mc- Kinley had a capacity of 1,100, and an enrollment of 1,298. The new building has an official capacity of 1,800, while the rolls carry 2,720 students. Busi- ness High School had a capacity in 1920 of 900 and an enrollment of 2.108. The new Roosevelt High School, which repleced Business, has a capacity of 1,500 but an enrollment of 1,658. Dun- bar's capacity in 1920 of 1,200 accom- | modated 1,402 students. The same building today is housing 1,632 stu- dents. Armstrong, with a capacity of 300 in 1920, was accommodating 638. Since then a new addition has raised the capacity to 1,200, but the enroll- ment has gone to 1,562 The Cardozo High School, established in the old Business High building, has 640 students, but since the building is a combination senior high school and elementary school, with much of its space taken up by the younger children, of whom there are 385, the total enroll- ment in that building today is 1,025. Much Congestion Remains. And so it is clearly evident that while progress was made toward elimi- nating the disgraceful conditions that prevailed a dozen years ago, there still remains much actual congestion. The explanation, of course, is almost too simple. When the five-year school building act was being framed, it was based on the accumulated shortage of school accommodations up to that time. Thus, when the act became operative in 1925 all it authorized ‘was construc- whatever was given the annual increase in school population during the course of the program’s functioning. In the last few years, the average annual in- crease in school enrollments has nearly 3,000 pupils, and all the while appropriations were being made not to provide for these children, but to catch Up on the negiect afforded prior to 1925. It Washington is to keep abreast of its school needs as they develop, the school authorities estimate, the follow- ing rate of construction must be main- tained: ‘Elementary Schools—Thirty-two class- rooms must be built every year, either in units of four-room buildings, eight- room buildings, or a combination of four and eight room structures, ac- cording to the trend in school ‘popula- tion in various sections of the city. Junior High Schools—Two new Junior high schools should be built every three years. Senior High Schools—One new build- ing should be made available every three years. Obviously, this rate of construction which is based on normal annual in- creases in the number of children to be provided for, is not being even approached. And yet, the House of Representa- tives has declined to appropriate a sin- gle dollar for school house construction during the fiscal year of 1934. RULES COMMITTEE FAVORS EMBARGO | Legisl-*ive Preference Voted, As-| suring House Action on McReynolds Plan. By the Associated Press. Legislative preference assuring House action soon was voted today by the Rules Committee for the arms embargo resolution sought by the administra- tion. Committeemen would not say by| what vote they approved the McRey- | nolds resolution, which would give the | President the right to declare an em- bargo on arms shipments to foreign countries if he could obtain the con- sent of what he considered other essen- tial nations. This resolution in substantially the same form was adopted by the Senate last Congress, but recalled. The House Foreign Affairs Commit- | tee, headed by McReynolds, Democrat, | of Tennessee, sponsor of the resolu- tion, approved the measure last week. Considerable opposition to its pass- age had arisen in the House, but Jeaders agreed to work for it when the administration said it was an in- | tegral part of the Roosevelt foreign | policy.

I was not as completely happy at that farewell dinner as one might have sup- posed, though the next day was to see my brother Vice President. I was so fond of the Coolidges I felt sad over their departure. Mrs. Coolidge, if she had regret, did not show it. She received us with her usual gayety. A young woman Demo- crat once said this Pirst Lady's smile was worth a million votes to the Re- publicans. At least that many! After dinner we talked a while, then my brother Charles and I left for the Hotel Willard to meet the Governors and others in Washington for the inau- guration. I began to realize there the extent of our duties the next four years. We were escorted to the large ball room. The orchestra was playing and Marines were lined up to form a passageway to our box, where all our family and house guests were waiting. Standing at the front of the box Charles and I greeted hundreds as the line filed past. Later in the evening I unburdened myself of an experience which gave the family a laugh at my expense. I had received a letter from an Oklahoma woman, an old friend, whom I had not seen since we were schoolmates. She asked me to have three rooms reserved in‘a hotel from which she and her fam- ily could see the inauguration parade. When I had known her people they were in very modest circumstances, and I felt sure she had no idea of the cost of such rooms. So I asked a hotel clerk to write her a letter telling the price. Brother laughed and told me my friend’s husband was worth mil- lions, as he had become an Oklahoma oil baron. After we went home from the Willard my niece’s husband, Webster Knight, 2d, suddenly raised an outcry: “My trou- sers!” he shouted. “I haven’t got’em!” Unpacking, he had discovered the ab- sence of nether garments to be worn with his cutaway coat, and here he was with no fitting raiment in which to see his father-in-law installed as Vice President. Nephew Webby's Plight. We dragged out all the spare trou- sers we had, my brother’s and my hus- band Billy's. None fitted; they were either too short or too broad-beamed. Webby did not get much sleep; he was up at 6 o'clock hunting a clothing shop. A watchman _telephoned the proprietor of a store, and he opened the place. He found a pair of trousers six inches too long, and routed out a tailor to cut them off. All was well. For the inaugural ceremonies I wore a dull blue crepe dress, gray tweed coat and blue straw hat, with a corsage bou- quet of orchids given me by my niece’s The retiring President, Calvin Cool- ' idge, invited the incoming President | STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

All the official world was Tepresented at the inauguration ceremonies in the Senate Chamber. America sees no more impressive ceremonial than this gath- ering. What it meant to me can be imagined. Vice Prsident Dawes, as soon as the President-elect had been an- nounced and was in his place, admin- istered the oath of office to my brother. In closing his address, he said: “To my successor in office, my dear friend and the dear friend of us all, Senator Curtis, I wish the great suc- cess which his fine character, his ability and his long experience in this body make certain.” Sees Hoover Take Oath. After the ceremonies in the chamber, everybody went out to the east side of the Capitol to see President Hoover take the oath and deliver his address, then we started for the White House for luncheon. Meantime, rain had be- gun. Such a downpour I have never seen, and 1 was disappointed when I noticed that the waiting cars were closed. People had been standing for hours, willing to be drenched if they could see the new President. Mr. Hoover was quick to appreciate this, and the top was lowered in the car in which he and Mrs. Hoover rode. This meant ours should come down, too. The rain continued unabated. Rivulets trickled from brother’s high hat, and my clothes felt like wet towels. feet sloshed about in a small lake at the bottom of the car. As we came to Seventh street I hea a yell and some one called, “Miss Dolly There stood the colored cook of one of my friends, waving frantically. ‘A bedraggled group, we arrived at the White House. Though we had dined there only the evening before, here we were to have luncheon and review the inaugural parade with an entirely new host and goness. Everything went as smoothly as though there had been no change—all because of the splendid management of the chief usher, “Ike” Hoover, at the White House more than 40 years. I learned that day that Mrs. Hoover is one of the most considerate persons in the world. While we were at lunch- eon—a small gathering on the second floor, with buffet service, while many in the state dining room—she sent out my coat and hat to be dried. So I was fairly presentable when we went to the reviewing stand.

The public schools of the Nation ought to be maintained upon a high plane. The teachers who give such faithful service ought to be g:ld decent wages; their wages should cornmensurate with the requirements of their soclal and economic standing. The impoverishment of the schools means intellectual bankruptcy and human retrogression. “To starve the schools, to deny them the use of adequate funds with which to_carry on public school work, can only be interpreted as a severe blow at the intellectual and social life of the community. If necessity compels the curtailment of every other civic and community activity the efficiency and service of the public schools should not be lowered. The more favored among the people of the United States may find it possible to supply education to their children even though public school activities may be curtailed. The masses of the people cannot do this. They depend upon the public schools.

He had just passed a huddled form lying in the street. Running back to the spot he bent over a woman about 50 years of age, clad in house dress and sweater, an ugly bruise on her fore- head. That she was beyond help was quickly appar- ent to him; the body was cold, death having un- doubtedly been caused by a car, which left the marks of two tires across her chest. Fordney instruct- ed one of the offi- cers, keeping the hastily drawn crowd back, to Mm— phone headquarters. An hour later the professor still was trying to locate some one who might throw light on the tragedy. After tedious and patient inquiry he learned the woman was a Mrs. Bellamy, who lived on the outskirts of the town. The police finally located Nick Chester, | a boarder of the dead woman's, who readily admitted having driven her in his car downtown. He said she had got out two blocks from where Fordney had discovered her. On learning Mrs. Bel- lamy had not been wearing glasses when found, Chester suggested she must have stepped in front of a car and the driver sped on. ‘The professor sighed. He was not to find relief from the city heat this week end! Well, his work came first. “Now, why was Mrs. Bellamy wear- ing a MAN'S sweater?
