Purely Local Question, Not To
Be Confused With Civil
Service Problem of Federal
Government, Says School
Board Head.
Problem of Superannuation De-
cIared'T To Be Already Making
It Difficult to Attain Effici-
enCy.

A teachers retirement fund l.
needed to bring the Washington
school system to its highest ct
fcienCy.
This is the statement Of Henr,
P. Blair, president of the Board OF
Education, Who indorses the Pome'
rene teachers pension bill ana
points to the urgent need in Wash,
iugton of such provision for teach
ers.
The teachers pension issue, Mr.
Blair explains, should not be con-
fused with the movement for q
pension for the Governments civil
employees, since the former is
purely a municipal problem.
By ]. R. HILDEBRAND.
Pensions for Washington school
teachers presents a distinct and
clear-cut issue, not complicated
with the movement for pensions for
Uncle Sans civil employees.
Congress need not hesitate TO in
dorse the Pomerene bill. providing
a teachers retirement fund, on the
ground that such action would set
precedent for general civil service
retirement The principle Of teach
ers retirement is the same as that
OF police and firemens pensions
which the Government already rec
ognizes in Washington.
This was one OF the arguments
presented by Henry F. Blair. presi-
dent Of the Board of Education. in
a strong statement made today urS-
ing the necessity of teachers pen
sions.
one Of the chief snags in the
way of a pension for teachers, Mr..
Blair explained, has been the argu-
ment of some persons who recog-
nize the need of a teachers re-
JlIcIleIlI pIONlSlOIl, bul " tip ICni NAit
payment Of a portion of such a
fund from Government revenue
would commit Congress to the gen.
eral principle Of civil pensions.
Purely Local Problem.
Mr. Blair asserts that the teach
ers' pension question is purely a
local problem. Washington teach
ers should be pensioned, not because
they happen to serve in the National
Capital, toward which the Govern
mcnt contributes money in lieu Of
taxes. but for the same reason they
should be pensioned if they worked
in any of the twenty-three States
which now have some teachers pen
sion provision.
In acting upon teachers pensions
IN Washington, Congress is merely
exercising its function as a sort of
city council" he explained. There
is no stronger reason why our
teachers should be pensioned be-
cause they live in Washington than
because they live in Pittsburgh. But
there is just as strong a reason,
and the reasons are the same in
each case"
