Education Board Praises
Bruce Personally and as
COl0red School Director

After publicly vind1cating Roscoe
C. Bruce. colored assistant superin-
tendent of schools. OF all charges
lodged against him. the Board of Edu-
cation, in a resolution passed yester-
day. announces its discrimination to
give scope to Bruce's plans as director
OF the coiored schools and u protect
his good name"
The climax of the Bruce case, as
far as the board Is concerned. was
reached yesterday when the majority
and minority reports of the investi-
eating committee of Bruce were pub-
licly read. The board. with Fountain
Peyton dissenting. accepted the ma
jority report
The majority report. signed by DR..
Henry B. Learned and Mrs. Coralie
Franklin Cook. criticised the methods
used by the Parents League in at
tempting to have Bruce removed from
his position. The report reviewed
the life of Bruce. delved into several
charges made against him. and stated
that the assistant superintendent was
a man of good character and that in
situations and charges made against
him were not backed by substantial
evidence.
Minority Report Lengthy.
Peyton in a lengthy minority report
asks the immediate removal of Bruce.
He says the fact that Bruce has been
under suspicion for many years 10 one
good reason he should be removed.
He also states the assistant superin-
tendent has not the confidence of
pupils or parents.
The resolution reads:
The majority report OF the special
committee on the Bruce case is issued
with the hearty approval OF the
Board of Education of the District of
Columbia. We believe that the care

New Hotel Proposed For Rockville

There is understood to be an excellent
chance that Rockville will soon have a
sixty room hotel, to cost 100000. One
of the best-knOwn hotel men in the coun-
try, who has built big hotels in various
parts of the country, including the Bel
videre in Baltimore. is interested in the
project and will. it is stated, furnish the
bulk of the cash. He has carefully looked
Rockville over and made other investiga-
tons, and, it is said, has reached the con-
clusion that the town is an ideal location
for hotel of the size it is contemplated
to erect. He has agreed to put up $50, 900,
provided a like amount is subscribed by
residents of the county
Eugene W. Cissel, local real estate OPP
orator, is endeavoring to interest the people
of the county in the project and has al
ready received sufficient assurances to
satisfy him that the necessary funds will
be raised without difficulty. Mr.. Cissel is
also seeking site for the proposed struc-
ture, and has about decided upon a loca-
ton near the court house.
