School Leaders Back Plans
For Better System Here
Board of Education in Line With Civic Groups
In Effort to Win Increased Pay
For Teachers.

need to be changed they will be
changed.
In defending the proposed survey
Of the local school system at this time
by the u. s. Bureau of Education,
DR.. Van Schaick said that 1t was
only made to get the advice Of edu-
cational leaders, and that to stop the
survey now because of misunder-
standing would create a false inn
preston and might prove disastrous
to the success of our program"
The Board of Education seeks the
help of the business and civic organi-
zations in determining what amounts
the community can afford in increas-
ing the salaries of the teachers, wants
help in arranging in an adequate five
year building program. and has Of
ferGd to the citizens committee all
the resources of the school system.
The meetings yesterday settled all
the questions which have been a mat
ter of conjecture for months-that Is
the standing of all the organizations
interested in the school problems.
While the sincerity of the board of
education In doing everything possible
for the betterment Of the schools
could never be doubted. nevertheless
it cannot be denied that there was
feeling in many circles that the pro-
posed reorganization Of the school
system as outlined by the Board
might, II pushed, detract from the
very important present needs Of the
school system to restore normal con-
ditions in the schools.
The secret conference of the execu-
tive commftte of the citizens or
ganiZations of the past few days. it
developed last night.~were for the
purpose of learning the stand Of the
Board of Education.
Now the committee will inaugurate
its plans to acquaint the Congress-
men with the conditions in the local
schools. The executive committee
OF the Schools Betterment Commit
tee will hold a meeting this aft
ernoon at 1880 o'clock on the mez-
zarine floor of the New willard
Hotel
Plans for pushing the movement
and a program of publicity to keep
the questions constantly before the
local people and Congress until they
are finally acted upon will be de-
cided.
President Wilson's signature is all
that is needed to make the retire
ment law for superannuated teach
ers in the District schools a law.
The House yesterday agreed to the
Senate amendments. which merely
reduced the appropriations for this
year in view of the fact that part
of the fiscal year was passed.
The signing of the bill will bring
to an end long fight of the teach
ers and school officials. as well as
civic organizations. to get such a
law. Until this year they have sue
ceeded in getting it only through
one house or the other during any
one session.
