The Washington times., 1911-09-30

Moving week" in Washington
nearly disorganized several divisions
of the Washington schools.
| The fall moving resulted in such an
unprecedented transfer of pupils that
a special meeting of the Board OF
Education had to be called hastily to
provide for necessary changes OF
teachers.
The appearance of children who
formerly attended downtown schools
in the Columbia Heights and Pet
| worth neighborhoods as well as in
the far northeast section of the city,
necessitated the closing of many
! grades at the school buildings near
the business section and the opening
of new grades, in several cases two
similar ones in the congeSted schools
These changes were necessary despite
the fact that it was thought the or
ganization was pretty nearly COM
plete after the last meeting OF the
board ten days ago.
Teachers Must Report.
The board was to meet yesterday
afternoon at o'clock, but did not
convene until 4:S5, and in the midst
of the meeting the committee on
elementary schools asked that a re-
cess be taken and that committee re-
talked over it's work in secret while
the board waited.
A number of important points came
| up after the session finally got under
way. Hereafter a teacher who asks per-
mission to leave his school TO visit the
schools of another city will have to
make a written report 10 the superin-
tendent covering each day of his alb
senCe.
There has been a great deal of lax
ity in this matter. said Mrs. Mussey.
when the request of a music teacher to
visit New York schools was presented.
The reports of some OF the teachers
who have left their duties for this ostep-
sible purpose have been highly unsat-
isfaCtory."
Question As To Cadets.
. The question of whether high school
cadet shall be permitted to take The
company examination after he has
failed to obtain a regImenIal appoint
. ment was brought up. The matter was
: referred to the military committee
Captain Oyster said the committee
would try to find out what the past
practice had been, and follow that
After the meeting he learned that this
had not been permitted AID he IN
} nounCed that ii would not be allowed In
the future. This means that If man
, fails in the regimental eXamir alton, he
must go without a commission.
I The mooted question of Who shall
8 name the schools again came up, wher
letter was received from the com
, missioners saying that II mad been rec
l commended to them that the new schoo
at Randle Highlands be called the Ran
!, die Highlands School, and asking
1 whether the board had any objection
Mr. Blair asked who named the school!
, and Captain Oyster said the Commits
sioners had been in the habit Of doinf
l that, but that they always had recog
nized anv recommendation S,nt by tn
board. The matter was referred TO tn
committee on sites, buildings ant
: grounds.
= Fate Of Trees In Doubt.
t The fate of about $1,000 catalpa trees
: given to the schools by a local mer
chant last spring was the subject o
considerable amusement
Mr. Blair asked about the trees and NJ
= member of the board knew anythin!
about them. 1t was intimated that a
> great many of the trees died. Mrs
Mussev promised to look into the prog
! ress of the trees.
! Despite the large number Of trans
fers there were 'but few designations
and but two normal graduates were ap
pointed.
