HAYDEN JOHNSON, Board (Continued From First Page.) ters the time and attention which, in | | my opinion, should rightly be re- quired of a board member,” he said. “Furthermore, as the result of a quite continued illness during tne past Winter, I am advised that I will have to lighten the load of my activities.” Dr. Johnson, chairman of the THE EV. Committee on Complaints and Ap- peals, who is completing his twenty- first year of continuous service on the board, also cited pressure of pro- fessional activities as the reason he would not be able to consider re- appointment. “It 15 with a great deal of regret that I find it necessary to terminate my connection with the board,” he said. “I have always been extremely interested in the schools but have been finding it increasingly difficuit to find the time to give them that they rightly deserve.” Whitwell Served Sirce 1931. Appoin‘ed in the Fall of 1931 to fill the unexpired term of the late Dr. H. Barrett Learned, who was president of the board at the time of his death, Whitwell was reappointed in 1934. In addition to his chairmanship of the Finance’ Committee, he has been a member of the Personnel and Rules Committees. He has been a strong advocate of promotion to responsible positions from within the school sys- tem. ‘When questionnaires were sent District teachers by former Repre- sentative Thomas Blanton of Texas last June, asking for their political and religious doctrines, as well as specific questions regarding particular publications, Whitwell bitterly de- nounced the idea and was responsible for the language of the resolution adopted by the board advising teach- ers they were not obligated to reply and that their failure to do s¢ would not affect their record or status in the school system. Red Rider Repeal Advocate. A firm believer in repeal of the "red | rider,” he was also greatly interested in the revision of teacher rating sheets. Dr. ENING STAR, Johnson was first appointed ' WASHINGTON, July 1, 1916, and was a member of the board that brought Dr. Frank W. Ballou to Washington as superintend- ent of schools. In addition to his chairmanship of the Complaints and and Appeals Committec, he is on the Buildings, Grounds and Equipment Committee and the Personnel Com- mittee. He formerly served on the Finance Committee. Especially interested in the health and physical education program, he helped organize the program that brought Birch E. Bayh into the sys- tem as head of the health and physi- cal education department. He also vigorously opposed boxing in the schools when the issue came up in 1933. He opposed the “red rider” and was also interested in teacher ratings. Both members opposed the reinstate- ment of the magazine Scholastic on the approved school list, casting the two dissenting votes when the pub- lication was restored at a recent board meeting.

Dr. Joseph 8.
