that .the committee. having spent
no little time in studying the vari-
Gus phases OF the school situation
in our city, Is of the opinion that
the present situation deserves the
attention of all citizens in the Dis
trict."
Indorses school Report.
Particular stress is laid on the
Importance of the need for adj!-
tional school house accommodations.
The committee indorses the recon-
mendations confined in the special
report of the school house accom-
modations submitted by the super
intendent of schools last December.
The rented buildings are, for the
most part, Inadequate" adds the
report. and we are told that all
the white high schools are on a
double shift"
In the survey of the system. the
report points out crowded condi-
tions. disgracefuI sanitation. lack
OF heating and lighting facilities.
rat-infested Easements, buildings
near fire-trap structures, and -he
need of Fairgrounds"
Finds stan Inadequate.
In reference to the executive
stan. the report states. 1T is wholly
inadequate to meet the business and
professional Requirements of a
school system in a city the size
of Washington. This should be
changed to a suitably organized sys-
tenn as follows: Superintendent OF
schools; a deputy superintendent to
have charge OF the white high
schools; a deputy superintendent for
colored schools and at least three
additional assistant superintendents.
Under this plan. the business and
professional work could be subdi-
vided according to functions, with
a superintendent at the head of
each division; one could function
as the business manager of the
schools; another could have charge
OF all matters relating to research,
etc.
Urges Corps of Substitutes.
The present system of employing
substitutes results in an injury TO
the teaching service, the committee
| finds. and recommends the organi-
zation of a corps of substitutes,
paid from a fund provided for that
purpose.
In suggesting a revision Of the
salary schedule. it is stated that
the present system is highly com.
plicated. mo salary throughout tho
entire school system has at the
present time a legal status, each
being subject to a point of order
at any time in the Congress. I'm.
der the present arrangement the
longevity provision of the teach
ers salary does not go with her
in case of promotion"
