SUGGESTS NEW LAW
Plan for Freer Use of Public
School Buildings.
BOARD NAMES committee
Extension Of Privilege to Civic Or
ganizations-Changes in the
Teachers List Authorized,
BOARD NAMES COMMITTEE

The proper use of school buildings the
installation of a course in purity and
temperance" and the policy to be fol-
lowed in the appointment of normal
school graduates as teachers, were among
the things considered by the board of
education at meeting in the Franklin
School building yesterday afternoon.
Many members of the board were en-
phauc in their belief that schools should
not be used for religious or political pur-
poses. and some were opposed to allowing
the use Of the buildings by civic organi-
cations, such as citizens associations.
Utilization Of the buildings as social CEN
tiers by organizations directly connected
with the schools or under the control of
the board Of education was generally
favored.
Mrs. E. s. Mussey, vice president of
the body, declared that Washington was
about 100 years behind other cities of its
size in respect to using the schools as
social centers. Under the present law,
school buildings can be used only for
meetings which are of q strictly educa-
tfonal nature. and some of the members
yesterday expressed doubt whether meet
ings of Boy Scouts or Of Camp Fire Girls
or similar organizations, could be permit
ted.
Henry P. Blair and DR. w. M. David
son, superintendent Of schools were ap-
pointed a committee to draft amendments
buildings might be extended, although
the board made 1t clear that 1t wished to
keep all structures within its own con-
troll.

April 26, that year, was made the oc.
casion for the first confederate me-
