The superintendent pointed out that
II washington exJectS to become a
first class city in the classification of
education, salaries that will put the
city In that category must be paid.
according to data compiled by DR..
Ballou and Incorporated in the
report, the District stands third from
the last in the list of forty-eight
cities; or. in other words, there are
forty-five cities in the United States
which pay better wages to those
responsible for the education of their
children.

head the list" said DIR. Ballou, but

the average and in respectable COM
pany. ! should place Washington in
the matter of teachers salaries at a
from the bottom Of the list"
Asks Business Manager.
Among the administrative changes
IN the school system recommended by
Supt. Ballou Is the establishment of q
stronger central administrative staff
by the creation OF six assistant su-
perintendents. one of whom Is to be
q business manager. This move IL in
tended to accomplish many things in
school administration which are i'm
possible under the present admins
Continued development Of the ex-
listing corps Of administrative prin-
cipals. in whose charge are placed
small units of the school organization,
also Is urged in the report. There are
thirty-three such officers in the school
system at present. many of whom are
only partly freed of teaching duties.
Under the plan of the superintendent
their time would be devoted entirely
to administrative duties. The rear
rangement would relieve the present
supervising principals Of many de-
tails and permit them to assume du-
ties Of q more city-wide character.
The salaries of the administrative
principals. according to report, would
be fixed. instead Of the present ar
rangement Of paying them a stipu-
lated salary. plus an allowance of a
certain amount for each class under
their direction.
Two sections of DR.. Ballou's an
nual report will be contained in the
statement to be sent the joint con-
gressional committee. The report
probably will be sent to the Capitol
within a few days.
