The Washington herald. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1906-1939, 1910-12-08

Alexander T. Stuart was reelected
superintendent of the Washington public
schools yesterday afternoon. BY unan-
imous vote the board of education gave
him a three-year term. and thus put
an end to the agitation and rumor which
has been rife for the last few weeks.
II need only to look back upon the
days of chaos which preceded his super
intendency said Capt. James T.. oyster.
ito convince myself that Mr., Stuart
merits a reelection 10 his present posi-
ton / hereby place him in nomination.
The question was then put by President
Cox, and the vote revealed that not a
single member of the board, despite all
the various candidates who have been
suggested, had any opposition 10 offer
10 the incumbent.
Begins December rs.
The board also decided that the Christ
mas vacation period would begin on Fri
day, December %, and end January .
The night school vacation viii, however,
begin on December Il and close on jan
uary 8.
\ proposal from Superintendent Stuart
N-Ar-~ +e~AtNAo anu aiANtAiNA9 Rt AANtNNt ~
visit the schools on a certain day, and
that home and school associations be
formed met with the cordial approval
of the board.
The recent delay in paying teachers
salaries was due to the fact that the in
strncuons of Auditor Tweedale to the
board of education, based upon the de-
cision of the Comptroller OF the Treasury,
srrar las -
and entailed great deal of routine book
keeping on the part of school officials
and bOokkeepeFs.
On recommendations of certain super
vising principals and teachers. the board
adopted a resolution protesting against
the distribution of free tickets 10 moving
picture shows among school children, a
practice which has increased 10 an alarm
ing extent in the last few months.
