Miss Deal Has Plan.

Miss Deal said that while the teach
ers had not passed upon any particu-
Iar plan. the consensus of opinion
among them is that the election
should be conducted through the home
and school associations. Some might
call this election by wards, she said.
but in reality it would be by schools.
These neighborhood organizations.
she said, could elect delegates to a
smaller body which would constitute
the board of education.
DR.. Waldron, speaking for the COL
ored representatives, said his people
would stand solidly behind the move
ment If the elected board would be
apportioned like the present school
board-six white and three colored.
Mr.. Claf1in read statistics to show
that il is becoming the general Gus
tom in all big cities to elect the
school board. In only per Bent of
the cities from which figures have
been obtained. he said, are the men,
bers of the school board appointed by
the judges.

of the joint committee.

the German national assembly at
Weimar in reference to peace. Sew
eral individual instances have been
reported here, however, in which CT
villains in the streets have assumed a
naughty attitude toward the SOL

The Americans do not expect any
trouble between civilians and SOL

been taken by the military police at
Treves, Coblenz and other towns to
prevent trouble. With view to
avoiding clashes, no night leaves will

This subcommittee went into SEES
sion as soon as the main committee
had adjourned and began to map out
its work.
Mr. Payne, who presided over the
subcommittee meeting. raised the
point that election of the schooi
hoard is only a small part of local
self-government and that Congress
might take the view that it could not
grant this right to the people OF
Washington without first recognizing
their right to full Sef-goVernment
Mr.. CIafiin expressed the belief, how
ever that Congress could enact law
providing for election of the school
board by the people without gong
into the question of general suffrage.
lie added that in his opinion law
providing for election of the school
hoard would be an entering wedge
ward full suffrage.
Miss Alice Deal. president OF the
High School Teachers Union. said the
teachers wanted to be very careful
about the details of the plan which is
finally decided on for presentation to
Congress.
The main trouble with the school
board now" said Miss Deal. sis that
the men on it are not familiar enough
with school matters and the needs of
the schools. If the school board is to
be elected by popular vote instead of
by wards, we might not be any better
off than we are now, because we
might have persons elected who were
not very familiar with school man

question than he remembered that
perhaps It might be the bad Skee-

spoken
'But they haven't short legs. and
they aren't little, thought the bunny.
Il guess I'm all right Who are you

OF a sudden, as Mr. Longears was
