Ballou calling for the introduction of
thrty-three new text books in the high
schools at the beginning of the 1921-1922
academic year next September we're
approved by the board of education at
its meeting yesterday afternoon at the
Franklin School. The new texts are in
languages, civics. arithmetic. economics.
nature study. science and typewriting,
and were adopted for a three-year pc
riod.
Three German text books were in
GUIDED in the recommendations. but they
were not approved, due to the fact that
the school board has not sanctioned the
resumption of the teaching of this Ian
guage in the high schools. 1t was point
ed out that it is problematical whether
the teaching of German will be restored
to the curriculum by next September.
rs teachin" was d"barred soon after
the outbreak of the war with Germany,
in 1917.
Upon the request of Charles c. Fos-
ter. superintendent of the Washington
asylum and Jail. the board agreed
to furnish him with supply of con-
demned text books for use in the
school at the institution.

flying the board of awards of con-
tracts for an eight-room addition to
the West School, and an addition to

Harry o. Hine. secretary of the
board. read a letter from Mrs. Giles
Scott Rafter. president of the Dis
trict Congress of Mothers and Parent
Teachers Associations. urging that
the name of the Hamilton School for
