SURVEY ASSURED
| FOR CITY SCHOOLS.
Dr.. BaIIou or Board to Act if
One Is Not Ordered by
i Congress.

A survey of the District public
school system will be ordered by the
board of education or DR.. Frank w.
Ba1lou, superintendent of schools. be-
fore next summer, if Congress fails
to act on the recomm endations of the
Senate select school investigating
committee when it convenes in De-
cember. This was the belief ex-
pressed today by one of the few
school officials remaining in the city.
Failure of House to Act.
1t was pointed out by this official
that the Senate investigating COM
mittee, in its report recommended
survey of the scohol system. Failure
of the House to act favorably on the
investigating committees recommen-
dations during the closing days of the
last session of Congress consequently
precluded the survey. 1t is believed
by some school officials. however, that
when Congress conveneS it will take
up the District school situation and
favorably act on the Senate commit
tees recomm endationS.
In the event that Congress fails to
approve survey of the school sys-
tenn, it has been arranged that either
the school board or the Superintend-
ent will recommend the inspection.
As will be remembered. a preliminary
survey of the school system was
started last year, but never COM
pleted
Although Superintendent Ballou
has not publicly announced his opin-
ion of a survey. it is known that he
favors one. Some members of the
school board are also in favor of rigid
inspection of the schools.
VIII Await Developments.
When the scohol board holds it's
next scheduled meeting on Septem-
Der I it is expected that some refer
ence TO a survey will be made at
that time by Superintendent Ballou.
No definite action toward approving
the survey. however, is likely to be
taken by the board until it is ascer-
tanned whether Congress is to take
up the Scohol situation.
A survey, which would be conducted
under the direction of the United
States bureau of education, would
give a detailed account of the school
organization, supervision and finance,
and explain the building problem
Such surveys already have been con-
Quoted in various cities of the United
States and in Hawaii.

voters duty to be present and assist
in the support or defeat Of whoever

The ticket to be selected at the

and Republican people, as has been
the case during the past few years.
We have heard some talk however
of a second ticket in the field and IL
such should be the case, the candi-

a fight on their hands, even though
they received the nomination of the

Remember the caucuses are Mon
