BOARD OF EDUCATION
Business Transacted at Meet
ing Late Yesterday.
NEW SCHOOL AT BROOKLAND
Recommendation Submitted by CONT
tee on Buildings.
MORE ATTENDANCE OFFICERS
Matter of Disposition of Old Swords
Used by the High School
Cad,.J
MORE ATTENDANCE OFFICERS

Unanimous decision to take immediate
steps to secure the construction of new
colored public school at Brookland, D. c.,
was reached at the bi-monthly meeting yes
terday afternoon Of the board Of education.
The subject was preached by James F.
Oyster, chairman Of the committee on
buildings, who said the committee had Wis
tied Brookland since the last meeting Of
the board and found urgent need for ameli-
Grafton Of existing conditions. Capt. Oyster
declared an appropriation for new build
ing at Brookland had been made by Con-
gress four or five years ago, but the then
board of education failed to make a formal
recommendation to the board of Commits
sioners respecting the location of the build
Ing and inauguration of the task of con-
struction, and the money has remained in
the treasury 1t was stated there are more
than one hundred children in Brookland
and vicinity for whom the proposed school
would be a great convenience and Capt.
Oyster said he had been informed by former
Engineer Commissioner Biddle If the board
or education could see it's way clear to
make recommendation for the building
the Commissioners would do all in their
power to expedite its construction. Such
recommendation, the chairman stated, the
committee is prepared to make, and, upon
motion, the board of education added its
Compulsory Education Law.
AS another feature of suburban school
work Mrs. Ellen Spencer Mussey reported
the compulsory education law to be working
well, particularly in the outlying sections.
She mentioned one instance in which an
attendance officer had taken in seventeen
children, and with that as an example of
the results which might be accomplished
1t was suggested that the board submit esti-
mates for six attendance officers for next
year.
considerable discussion arose over a ques-
ton of the disposition Of the old swords
used In the equipment of the regiments
of high school cadets. A communication
was read before the board to the effect
that the War Departments action In issuing
new swords had made the old ones USE
less. 1t was stated several of the boys
wished to purchase their swords as me-
mentoes, but the District property clerk,
after consultation with Auditor Garrison.
had reported that such could not be done
because the law requires all District prop
erty of such character to be sold at public
auction. The general feeling of the board
seemed to be that the boys should be per-
m1tted to buy the old swords IL they wished
to do so, and was in opposition to the impli-
ed claim of the District that the cadets
equipment, much Of 1t purchased by pri-
vate subscriptions, could be disposed of
by a plan which would result in the pro-
ceeds of the sale being carried into the
Golfers of the District and not of the
schools. The matter was referred to the
military committee Of the board for inyes-
tigation and report.
