COURT NAMES DIRECTORS

| The abolition of the District Board
of Education with supervision of the
public schools directly by the District
Commissioners probably will be one of
| the recommendations OF the Commits
sioners to Congress this winter II the
plan for the adjustment of the board
is unsuccessful. the Commissioners
hope at least to have the privilege of
appointing the educational directors
and the right to decrease their num-
Der.
The public schools of the District
now are under the joint supervision of
the Commissioners and the Board of
Education. thesformer having charge
of the building and establishment OF
salaries and the latter the direction
OF the teaching personnel and shaping
Of the curricula OF instruction. The
board OF directors, nine In number, are
appointed by the District Supreme
Court and serves for three years.
Change woaId Be Sweeping.
The Commissioners for several years
have endeavored to bring the school
system more. and more under their con-
troll. but have never considered such a
sweeping change. Some years ago, an
effort was made in Congress to have
the power of appointing the educa-
tional directors re-transferred to the
Commissioners from the District Su-
preme Court. but the rumored present
accommodation OF the Commissioners
Is the most comprehensive ever con-
templated.
The Commissioners declined to dis
cuss the rumor. but IL Is known that
various District boards have consider
ed the recommendation to have them
resume the power OF appointing the
directors If IL safd the Cru
Court is in favor of the re-transfer.
The abolition OF the Board OF Educa-
ton, however. or even the establishment
Of smaller group Of directors. is an en-
tirely new phase to the question OF con-
troll OF the school system. Il is felt by
many that the change would be q calam-
ity. as neither a single director nor a
smaller group would have the broad
grasp Of affairs pertaining to education
that a larger board would have" as ex-
pressed by one educator.
While the Board OF Education has
never been officially informed OF the pro-
posed recommendation, the members ex-
pressed no surprise that II was contem-
plated. They declined to discuss the
question OF abolishing the board. It Is
believed the majority favor the retrans-
fer OF the appointing powers.
Henry p. Blair. president of the board.

president. said:
Such a movement has been on foot
for some time. The change would not
worry me-
w. T. Galliher declared he saw no rea-
son why great changes in the super
vision OF the schools would result IL the
directors were appointed by the Commits
sioners.
Mrs. Susie Root Rhodes said the trans
fer OF appointing powers was "only logi-
CAL" as the board already is directly re-
sponsible to the Commissioners
