One of the encouraging signs seen

HAS AFREE HAND
IN SCHOOL AFFAIRS
Court Holds Board of Educa-
ton to Be an Independ-
ent Agency.
FREE OF OLD LIMITATIONS

The board of education is an indie
pendent agency Of the government with
broad powers and is not bound by the
law which forbids the District Commits
sioners to create contract obligations in
excess of existing appropriations, and
has the power to employ sufficient
number of teachers from time to time to
keep the schools in operation.
This broad Interpretation Of the pow
ers of the board Is given by Justice
Van Orsdel Of the District Court OF APP
peals in the opinion upholding the right
of Miss Genevieve Marsh to recover full
compensation for her detail as hish
school teacher.
Freed From Restrictions.
While the members of the board OF
education were being appointed by the
District Commissioners, the court says.
they were directly responsible to the
appointing power and were an agency
of the District and bound by the in
tions. But that condition no longer
prevails, since the board is now ap-
pointed by the justices OF the District
Supreme Court and owes no allegiance
to the appointing power, the court de-
clares.
Constituting the act of 1906. the APP
pellate court points out that it confers
upon the board the power to appoint
all teachers and other employees and TO
determine all questions OF general
policy relating to the schools.
Boards Duties Enlarged.
THE act also enlarged" says Justice
! Van Orsdel, 1.-The duties Of the board In

the District Commissioners. from Great

priation. The intent of Congress In this
