torrent BOARD IN
FIGHT FOR ITS LIFE
Courts Ruling That Commits
sion Is Unconstitutional
Will Be C0mbated.

Officials of the Department of Jus
tice will lend all possible assistance
to the rent commission in fighting
the opinion of the courts that the
law creating the board is not constl-
tutional. and President Wilson is in
full sympathy with the commission $
battle for existence.
This came out today when it was
learned that the President has not
sent to Attorney General Palmer the
papers in the controversy between
the rent commission and the District
Commissioners growing out of the
order of the District Commissioners
for razing Eagle Hut, nor is he eN
pected to refer the matter to the
governments legal department.
The opinion of the lower courts has
not shaken the belief of the chief eX-
ecutive that the rent commission is
a proper constitutional body, and he
has asked the Department of Justice
to make every effort to establish its
right to function.
This duty has been assigned to AS
sistant Attorney General Classic, who
recently appeared before Municipal
Judge Terrell as one of counsel in the
case affecting the Monmouth Hotel
evictions. and who incidentally is act
ing as attorney for Postmaster Chance
in the Eagle Hut controversy.

BALLOU WILL URGE
PAID SUBSTITUTES
School Board May Ask Con-

Funds.

Recomme ndationS for a paid force
of substitute teachers for the Dis
trict public schools probably will be
made to the board of education at its
meeting September 1. by DR.. Frank
w. Ballou. superintendent of schools.
The necessity for such a force has
been stressed for two years by for
mer Supt. Ernest L. Thurston
Before his departure for Maine on
a vacation yesterday. DR.. Ballou in
timated that he was strongly in
favor of paid force of substitute
teachers. but pointed out that lack
of funds precluded the organization

approves OF the establishment of a
paid substitute force. it will urge
Congress when it convenes in De-
cember to provide for the appoint
ment of the necessary teachers for
Under former Supt Thurston's plan
teachers composing this paid substi-
tute force, could be used for coach :
ing work when not substituting for
a regular teacher. Whether Dr. Bal
lou will follow this plan is purely
problematical
Lack of sufficient number of sub
pointed out by school official to-
day, resulted in placing of a num-
Der of school children in rooms to act
as monitors in the absence of a
teacher. These children were paid the
same salary that substitute would
have received. despite the fact that
all they were put in classroom
for was to preserve order.
When teacher is i'll and is forced
to remain away from school she loses
her pay for the time absent Conse-
quently, it was said. many teachers
who really are unable to teach, re-
port for work because they cannot
afford to suffer a partial loss in pay.
Mr.. Thurston also recommended to
the board that teachers should be
granted an annual sick leave not ex-
ceeding ten, days. and that a reduc-
tion from the teachers pay larger
than the present scale should be
made for any absence over ten days.
