Ouer Blind Girls Education

Tho question Of whether the District
government should provide q college
education for it's blind children IL the
subject Of debate between the District
Commissioners and Superintendent Of
Schools Ballou.
Tho controversy arose when the Com
missioners were called upon by Auditor
Daniel J. Donovan to decide whether
the District should pay tho tuition Of
Delphine Desio. a blind girl. Tho Com
missioners say they understand she is
twenty-three years old and that she Is
taking a collegiate course at the Penn
sylvania Institution for the Blind.
Letter OF Ballou.
Superintendent Ballou advised the
Commissioners that the girl should be
educated at public expense. His letter
to Auditor Donovan concluded as fol-
lows:
1.-The board Of education believes that
this child should be educated at public
expense. Since the Commissioners
entered into a contract for her partial
support last year. obviously the school
officials will offer no objection to the
Commissioners assisting the child In
getting an education this year. The
school authorities respectfully urge. how
ever, that the board Of Commissioners
go further and pay tho full contract
rate for the instruction and main

tenance Of Delphine Desio in the
Pennsylvania Institution for the In
struction Of the Blind"
After considering the matter. the
city heads authorised tho sending Of
q letter to DR.. Ballou, which read. In
part. as follows:
"The Commissioners understand
that this pupil Is twenty-three years
Of age, and that she was educated
under q contract with the Maryland
School for the Blind. covering the
elementary school course. and later
that she was transferred to the Penn
sylvania institution SO she might re-
ceive q high school course. They
further understand that she has COM
pleted such high school course and is
now taking a collegiate course.
Commissioners Refuse.
The Commissioners feel that il the
facts in the case Of Delphine Desio
are as stated above she has received
all of the education at public ex-
pense to which she would have been
entitled in the District of Columbia
had 1t not been for her affiiction.
which necessitated her education else
where"
The Commissioners tell Or. Bailou
they would be glad to have the matter
considered by the school board be-
fore they notify the Pennsylvania
school Of their decision.
The correspondence states that the
girl is q daughter of Salvatore Desio.

SCHOOL CONTESTS
SCORED BY BALL0U
Board of Education Deters
Action on Proposal to
Limit Them.

Curtailment Of contests in the pub
lie schools was urged by Supt. Frank
W. Ballou at a meeting yesterday az
ternoon of the board of education.
Definite action on the recommends
ton was deferred.
\ report showing that eighty-six
prize contests were conducted in the
schools last year-thirty-six in the
high schools and fifty in the graded
was submitted to the board by DR..
Ballou, who. remarked that the mum
Der astonished him. IAN kinds OF
prizes were offered in these contests
for the encouragement of various en-
terprises," said tho superintendent:
He emphasized that such contests not
only were out-of-date, but some did
not merit a place on the school pro-
gram. In limiting the number OF
contests, he suggested that prizes In
the nature of scholarships. awarded
by recognized institutions of higher
learning, be excepted, as well as COM

yield Of coal. In the aggregate s such mines employ
many thousands Of men. Continuous production
from them and from the mines where the conditions
are better is out Of the question, as the production
in that case would s,irpass the demand. In order
20 avoid the piling up Of great quantities Of coal for
which there is no sale the work in practically all
mines is intermittent, with the result that most Of
the miners have m,ichHlost time.
Mr.. Bland proposes that through. its authority
over transportation the government take steps
which will result in the more continuous operation
of the mines which ought to be operated, and in the
sale of their product at prices which will put the
thin vein mines out of business. This would mean
steady employment for miners for whose work there
is a real demand and the transfer to Other. occupa-
tons of those whose present occupation represents
an economic loss.
Briefly, it is proposed that the railroads be re-
.quircd to lay in their stores of coal in what is other
wise the slack season, and that the Interstate Com
mission be authorized to provide lower rates for
coal shipments during the dull months in order
that consumers may be relieved Of heavy. transpor-
tation charges during this period: In this way a
very appreciable premium would be placed on the
purchase of coal during the early summer, the
mines would operate practically continuously, and
workmen, without increase in daily wages, or pos
'sibly with lower wages, would earn more money in
the year. a7
