TEACHIG SOVETS SYSTEN S LR School Board Is Condemned for Voting to Allow Teach- ings Here. A vigorous protest against the teaching of communism in District schools was voted last night by the Conduit Road Citizens' Association. Mrs. Frances H. Behr, who intro- duced the resolution, condemned the | Board of Education for voting to allow teaching about communism and also for making their decision without first holding a public hearing on the subject. Mrs. Behr stated that the intent ©of Congress, as expressed by a rider on the appropriations bill, was lhm.l communism should not be taught in public schools. She declared that the opinion of Corporation Counsel E. Barrett Prettyman on the subject was entirely “erroneous.” A 15-year-old Western High School student, son of Frank Shull, the presi- dent of the association, spoke in favor of teaching communism in the schools, “mainly so that we can rec- ognize it when we see it.” | The association also voted & pro- | test against the street car service on the Cabin John line, and asked an inspector be sent to the section to study the situation. Opposition was voiced to the speed of the cars, the “rattle-trap” equipment and the bunching of cars during rush hours. One member declared that the cars went so fast around curves that she was “afraid of being tossed int) the canal.” . On a motion introduced by C. J. Peterson, the association voted to ask the federation 1o take up the subject of more water meters for the District. Peterson pointed out that persons wanting water meters could not get them, and that instead of being billed for the amount of water they used, they were billed according to the frontage of their property. Mrs. John P. Gregg spoke on be- half of the District Chapter of the Red Cross and the home safety cam- paign which they will inaugurate soon.
