The Washington herald., 1911-07-02

With the re-election of Capt. James
F. Oyster as president, and the admin
istration Of the oath to DR.. William M
Davidson as superintendent Of the Dis
triet schools, the board OF education
wound UP its work for the season yes
terday afternoon.
Capt. Oyster made protest against
his re-sleetion, stating he did not think
he could properly discharge the duties
of his once during the coming year.
All Of the board members urged him to.
accept, however, and Ernest H. Daniel
made an appeal 70 him which finally
brought Capt Oyster to the boards
way Of thinking,
Mrs. Ellen Spencer Mussey was elect
ed secretary of the board, and Mrs.
Carolina W. Harris, who has been cho-
sen as the successor Of Mrs. Mary
Church Terrell as a member of the
board. formally took her seat. Supt..
Davidson sat "st thehead of the ts-
bIe," in the chair which Alexander T.
Stuart has occupied for years.
FIays MunicipaI Architect.
In his speech of acceptance. Capt.
oyster once more took occasion to fay
snowden Ashford, municipal architect
and made the direct charge that hO was
responsible for extravagance In the con-
struction and maintenance Of school
buildings.
Il anticipate that $4,000 will have TO
be spent on Western High School, said
Capt Oyster This is a necessary ex-
psnse- But the expense In putting the
Thomson School below grade was en-
tirely unnecessary. There IS a tangle
over the Brookland School, which also
has been placed from three to fifteen feet
below grade. which will take a great deal
of money to straighten out.
The school building at Benning has
been extended sixteen feet beyond the
building line, and this condition is bound
10 result in a great expense to US IN
widening the road In some cases, where
school buildings are being erected. two
inspectors have been on the job. where
only one was necessary, and I cite
numerous other instances Of what con-
slider extravaganza on the part of the
municipal architect.
Gives Hearty support.
II know can pledge the heartiest sup
port OF the board to DR.. Davidson. We
are all anxious that our school system
make progress in the coming twelve
months, and 1 know all the problems
before US and the new superintendent
will be decided satisfactorily"
The tangIe over the longevity pay"
affecting twenty-three teachers has been
adjusted. owing TO the fact that District
Auditor TweeoaIe has decided to allow
the claims. The following members of
the board of examiners were appointed:
For the white schools-Hary English
ana Miss S. E.. Simons; for the colored
schools-R NJ. Martingly and Mrs. H. E
Riggs.
