A—6 %= SCHOOL RATINGS CHANGE DECIDED Board Refers Teachers’ Proposal to Committee De- spite Ballou Opposition. In spite of the epposition of Dr. Frank W. Ballou, superintendent of #chools, to the proposal of the Teach- ers’ Union to have the system of feachers’ ratings and promotions changed, the Board of Education in- dicated yesterday that some change will be made. After a series of public hearings extending over more than six weeks the board declined to take any final action until additional briefs could be filed by the teachers and by rating officials who defended the existing plan, which includes five classifica- tions of qualifications. The teachers asked for two classes—satisfactory and unsatisfactory—with rating officials required to give them written notifi- cation of any weaknesses they show. Upon the recommendation of Mrs. Henry Grattan Doyle, vice chairman of the board. the entire question was seferred to the Personnel Committee with instructions to make general findings and to consult with a com- ‘mittee of administrative officials to work out details of whatever future plan of ratings is adopted. Teachers Agree on Changes. “All the teachers have agreed,” Mrs. Doyle said, “that the present system is not satisfactory, but it is my idea that the professional admin- dstrative officials should work out the details in any revision that is made.” This was agreed upon by the board. The Personnel Committee is composed of Dr, J. Hayden Johnson, chairman: Mrs. Philip Sidney Smith and George M. Whitwell. Meanwhile, Mrs. Mildred H. Gropp, chief examiner, has circulated a form +etter calling for routine examinations for teachers in the elementary, junior and senior high schools of the Dis- trict to be held April 22 and 23 and June 13, 14 and 15. Upon recommendation of Dr. Bal- Jou the board approved appointment of a committee to take up with en- gineers and engineer-janitors their complaints against working condi- tions. The superintendent pointed out that the engineers, who partic- ularly objected to duties other than tending their heating apparatus, have led the public to believe that the lives of ldren are endangered because of the demands for services outside the furnace room.

The fact is that in 101 of these schools the regulations do not require a licensed engineer. “I am sure that if there was any danger the District Commissioners would see to it that their regulations be changed to protect the children in these schools. “In the remaining 39, six have two engineers or custodians and the 33 others have three or more men on the reguiar staffs.” To confer with the engineers the following committee was appointed: Jere J.
