EDUCATION BOARD LIKELY
TO ELECT MRS. HODGKINS

Mrs. Howard l.. Hodgkins, vice
president Of the Board Of Education,
and acting president since the resis.
nation Of Daniel A. Edwards, about
six weeks ago, probably will be
named permanently to the office at
the election Of president, which, II
Is thought, will take place at the
meeting of the board tomorrow.
So accustomed has the phrase,

board members as they sat around
the long table during the sessions at
the Franklin School, and watched
the first woman vice president ad.
minister the affairs Of the District
public schools, that 1t 10 thought
they can hardly dispense with the
habits acquired since Edwards res.
ignation. They probably will elect
her unanimously.
When Mrs. Hodgkins was elected
as vice president OF the school board
precedent was briken in the Dis
trict schools. She Is the first woman
