nard T. Janney, who died Friday last,

1--WE. his associates. standing at the

words inadequate to express our feel
ings. We rejoice that his life has been
spared for so many years. so that by
his example of unselfish living. those
who remain to carry on his labors may
have before them the inspiration of his
devoted and successful service. Our
sorrow is tempered with gratitude that
able to the end to perform his duties
without diminution OF vigor and with
all the active intelligence Of his best
years
Because Of his leadership in the
work of the Industrial Home School
hundreds of children Of this and a for
mer generation have been the recip-
tents of his kindly ministrations and
now rise up and call him blessed
"A mention of his many activities for
good would not adequately describe the
man. Worthy as were his deeds, we
loved him not for them SO much as for
his pure and lofty ideals. his coura :
geous convictions, his intelligent judg-
ment. his unselfish disposition and his
upright Christian character, all COM
bined with q geniality and gentleness
of spirit which made him a prince
among men,"

President James Appoints Three
Committees-Crowded Condition
of Petworth School Noted.

The Petworth Citizens ASSOCIATE
Commissioners plan for a change in
the direction and control of the public
schools of the District at a meeting of
the association held in the Methodist
Episcopal Church, Sth and Shepherd
streets. The matter was brought up
in the report of the committee on
schools, of which Jesse c. Suter is
chairman, and the association adopted
the report.
The simplest and most logical cor
rection of the existing division of
authority and responsibility between
the District Commissioners and the
board of education, according to the
report adopted, 'is obtained by trans
ferring to the board of education all
the powers over the schools now vest
ed in the Commissioners. with the pos
sible exception Of the actual work of
constructing buildings and auditing ac-
counts"
aside from the many other reasons
which we see against this proposed
change" the report further declares. re-
ferring to the change proposed by the
bill introduced in the House of Rep
resentatives to transfer the authorities,
duties, discretion and powers of the
board of education to the Commission =
ers. I'VE are much Impressed with the
fact that the District Commissioners
are already heavily burdened with
about all the duties and responsibilities
to which they can we'll attend without
its many employees and vast amount Of
detail.'

Recommendations Submitted.

The association sanctioned the fol-
lowing recommended tions of it's school
committee:
That the Petworth Citizens Associa-
tion go on record as opposed to the
Commi ssioners' plan for a reorganiza-
tion of the public schools.
THAT this association is of the opin-
ion that if any change in existing law
as to school government Is made at this
time. it should be to transfer from the
Commi ionerS to the board of educa
ton such powers as have caused con-
fict or uncertainty of authority, and
thus promote efficiency Of manage
ment."
Copies of the report as adopted will
be sent by Secretary T. C. Homiller to
the committees on the District of Co
lumbia of the Senate and House OF
Representatives, respectively: to the
subcommittee or the District of the
House committee on appropriations, to
the Commissioners, the board of edu-
cation and to the Federation of Citi-

MAKES HIS ANNUAL
REPORT TO BODY
Reviews Activities to Curb Fake Ad-

Attacks Traffic Regulations.

While the conduct of the city schools
is not strictly a.. business matter, L am
convinced that the perpetuation of our
school system as at present organized will
the better fit our young men and women
to engage in business Keep our schools
out OF politics at all hazards"
Such was the statement made by Presi-
dent r. =. Andrews in his report read at
the annual meeting of the Retail Mer-
chants Association in the Raleigh Hotel
last night. Mr.. Andrews dealt with TIL,
school matter from the viewpoint of the
business man who employs young men
and women who have received their edu-
cation in the public schools of the city.
Il say this in the face of the fact
that the personnel of the board of Dis
trict Commissioners at the present time
lis beyond reproach,'' continued Mr..
Andrews
IF it were possible for them to per-
petuate themselves in Office I should say
give them complete jurisdiction over the
schools. But everybody knows that it is
posed to change in school control, and
trust that this association will raise its
voice in protest against the suggested
change of jurisdiction.
Suggests Great Petition.
"A number of citizens organizat ations
have expressed their disapproval of a
change of school authority, but it seems
10 me that, to make assurance doubly
sure, Congress should be advised
through universally signed petition or
cfty-wide vote, of the desire of the
c1tlzens of Washington to have the pres
