PRESIDENT Joins TEACHERS
School Board Purchases Land as Site
for Open Air and School for the Deaf
mo Action to Relieve the Crowded
Conditions in the Ward Schools.


There was an eruption in the affairs
Of the board of education at the reg
ular September meeting held at the
city hall on Tuesday evening and when
the board had settled down to business
it had a new president and two vaca-
cies to be filled. John B. Maloney, who
has served most acceptably as presi-
dent of the board for the past two
years, has been elected as a teacher of
commercial branches in the high school
and Albert Tanck, commissioner from
the fourth ward, was named to succeed
Mr.. Maloney as president Of the board.
The resignation of President Maloney
as a member of the board had been filed
with the secretary previous to the meet
ing of the board and it was promptly
accepted. Mr. Tanck was elected presi-
dent of the board on the second ballot
defeating S. G. Newman and w. J..
Threinen, who were named as candi-
dates for the position.
At the meeting the resignation of
Edward Mischief as school commission
e1 from the seventh ward was received
Commissioner Mischler gave up his Of
fee on account of the fact that he
has moved into the third ward. He
has not been active in the work of
the board
Commissioners to fill the vacancies
caused by the resignation Of Maloney
and Mischief must be elected by the
common council and both elections will
be to fill the unexpired terms. The
terms of both Commissioner Maloney
and Mischief will expire the first Of
next April.
1t was a busy session for the mem
hers of the school board as the opening
CT the schools for the new year had
brought many problems. No action
was taken in regard to the opening of
new rooms to take care of children now
dividing time as it was found that some
OF the children had been out of the
proper district during the first week of
school and it is thought that re-
arrangement will greatly reduce the
troubles along these lines. The ques-
ton of taking care of children recently
brought into the city was brought to
the notice of the board and a special
committee composed of Commissioners
Balm and Pofahl was named to make
investigations Of the steps necessary
for the board to change the school dis
tFict lines so as to bring these child
rem into the city districts. Until such
lines are changed it will be necessary
for the children to pay tuition in the
city schools or attend the Hannah
school IN the town of Somers
Commissioner Newman sought to
have the conditions at the Durkee
school improved by the erection of an
other portable building on the Durkee
grounds, but q majority Of the mem
bers of the board opposed this plan.
The board decided to proceed at once
with the erection Of building to be
used as an open air school and school
for the deaf and this will be located at
the corner of Jenne and Garden streets.
Three lots have been purchased at this
corner, the site costing $1,000 and the
work of putting up the building will
be started at once. It is MANNED to

CONTINUANCE OF HOSPITAL
URGED BY DR.. B. F. GIBBS
Says Citizens of Columbia Heights
Section Are Indignantly Protest
ing Associations Action.

To the plan of leaders of the Northern
Dispensary and Emergency Hospital AS
sociaton to discontinue the hospital
located at ?12l IIth street northwest
January - as decided upon Tuesday
evening, strong objection is made by Or.
benjamin r Gibbs who first suggested
the plan for the hospital in "a meeting OF
the Columbia Heights Citizens Associa-
Ton IN 1911. and who was a member of
The first board of directors of the hos
pital. He declared the matter will be
brought to the attention of the citizens
association shortly.
In a statement last evening Or. Gibbs.

bIa Heights the father OF the hospital
said: The action taken by tho Northern
biSpenSary and Emergency Hospital As
sociation disseminating that institution
was entirely unwarrantcd aud has raised
an indignant protest on the part of many
of the citizens of this section.
u have the honor to have been the
first to suggest the need of an emergency
station in this vicinity, and met with VIII
ling support on the part of the citizens
here in establishing it. 1t was SO much OF
a success that at the end OF the nrst
year myself and several others who had
worked hours in building it up were voted
out of the dictatorship by those who
wanted our places and the credit that
might accrue from their connection
with it.
They found that it meant hard work
and consequently have lost their enthu-
siasm. The institution is not insolvent.
there being about $500 in the treasury and
property of about the same value in the
building. The people here object to this
money being taken away from our neigh
borhood and used for purposes entirely
foreign to which it was given.
THE emergency station is just as much
needed now as it ever was There have
been nearly 1000 patients, to be exact
964 to date, treated during the short time
it has been in operation. To discontinue
II would be almost a calamity at this
time.
Several members of the Columbia
Heights Citizens Association, under
whose auspices it was organized. have
expressed their determination TO take the
matter up in the association and protest
against disseminating it and also that the
money and property should not be taken
out of their territory.

expected to state it. In this connection
one or two of the officers have suggested
that it would be entirely appropriate to

4. * x i:
Commander Dempf with several of his
officers, has been busy during the past
erty in the possession of the local naval
militia, to be submitted to the Navy
Department.
Commander Dempf is particularly anx-
ious that the Sylvia. the United States
naval vessel assigned to the local naval
militia for practice purposes. should have
her shaking down run, and he proposes
to have the vessel make a short run down
the river some time today. The vessel
has not had a real good steaming trial
since she returned from the Washington
navy yard more than a month ago, after
she had been thoroughly overhauled,
both inside and out.
After using the steam winch and the
davits on the Sylvia to lift the boiler out
of the steam launch, Commander Dempf
proposes that the vessel shall get under
way Immediately for a practice cruise
down the river. He, together with other
officers of the battalion. has been anx-
ious for some time of inaugurating the
policy of taking the vessel out on short
runs down the river on drill nights and
on Sundays. but numerous other matters
connected with the reorganization of the
battalion have required much attention
on the part of the officers, with the re-
suit that no cruises have been made.
These questions have now been cleared
up and it is declared that the regular
trips will be made from now on.
K < x ::
During the present week Commander
Dempf will conduct examinations of Boy
Scouts in sea scouting. He has the sub
jects mapped out and the officers and
chief petty officers of the battalion will
put the scouts through the various
drills Lieut.. Buist c. Getsinger. dean of
the school of navigation of the battalion,
will examine the young men in naviga-
ton, while Chief Boastwan's Mate
Rooney will try them out in rope splicing
and handling of small boats, both under
oar and sail. Quartermaster Miller will
examine the boys in signaling. All of
those to be examined have been attend
ing schools at the battalion regularly
and have become quite proficient along
various lines, and it is not believed that
any of them will fail to get their sea-
manship merit badge.
