REPLY TO CHARGES

Believing that the character of
the building, rather than the fear
Of any dangers incident to the con-
struction of an additional story on
the Deanwood School, is the real
motive behind the withdrawal by
the parents Of their children from
that school, school authorities Will
invoke the compulsory education
law, it is understood, unless the
children are returned.
b Roscoe c. Bruce, assistant super
intendent. in charge of colored
schools, has been directed to ad-
dress a letter to the parents of the
3T5 children who failed to attend
their classes yesterday. calling at
tention 20 additional safeguards or
dered for the protection Of the chill
dren and indicating that, in the
opinion of the school officials, there
was no longer any reason for the
children to remain away, so far as
danger to their lives was concerned.
Superintendent of Schools DR.. Bal
lou. denied the charge of the Dean
wood Citizens Association. that no
attention had been paid to their pro-
tests against building operations,
and said he had visited the school
with Dr.. Hayden Johnson on Sep
tember 20, when the complaint first
came to his attention.
In addition. he said, he took the
matter up with the District Com
missioners; had the contractor ad-
vised to exercise every precaution,
and directed the principal to place
every safeguard around the chill
dren.
Rather than build the annex that
would forever bar the contraction
Of an auditorium, the Commissioners
decided to take advantage of an un-
expended appropriation authorized a
few years ago by Congress for an
additional story. This decision was
made so that the eight-room addi-
ton could still be built, leaving
