1t was first proposed to organize the
women Of the community into an aux
Hilary to the Clarendon Citizens Asso-
citation. but the meeting yesterday de-
|cided that the new organization should
be an independent one. This action
was taken on the ground that the
women have a great work ahead of
them in promoting projects for the

want their hands tied by being an
swerable to another organization. IT
was announced, however. that IL is
the purpose OF the club to cooperate

county seem to be better 'satisf ed
with the treatment accorded, them by

treatment received by then1 from the

sponslble.
Laws to he Enforced.
Because the county police force
has been enforcing the county local
option law. Attorney General Arm
strongs ruling that state and county
police officials cannot enforce the
Constitution and laws Of tho United
States. is not interfering with the
maintenance Of law and order in the
county. Since the county has dedi-
Gated all local fines. forfeitures coun-
ty licenses and indirect surpluses. to
the police fund, and will also finance
the police force through the year
1924, the attorney generals attack
upon the law creating the county
police force will not prevent the con-
in the county.
The Montgomery county authori-
ties do not, however, believe that
county flnes and forfeitures. and
other county licenses and existing
surpluses will finance the needs Of
the police force past the year 1924.
and for that reason we desire to call
the attention OF the people Of the
state to the equity of our claim that
the state should participate In the
support Of the county police force"

ton Plans for Develop
ing System.

Proposed development of the junior
high school system in relation to edu-
cetional conditions was explained by
Superintendent of Schools Frank w.
Ballou at a meeting last night of the
District of Columbia Public School
Association. Using charts and maps,
the superintendent showed the one
hundred delegates how the plan,
when developed and in operation. will
give each group of elementary
schools a junior high school.
The plan of school authorities, DR..
Ballou said, Is to establish a series
of Junior high schools over the city
30 that a large portion of the ele-
Ynentary schools will have six grades.
feeding into the junior high schools.
Establishment OF the junior high
schools, he emphasized, will make 1t
unnecessary for building imm ediately
two new senior high schools at a cost
Of approximately s1,500.000 each.
Outlines Grouping Plan.
At the outset Of his speech DR..
Baliou gave an outline of the pro-
posed plan for grouping the schools.
BY letting the schools follow the
trend of population and regulating
the territories served by existing
schools, he said. the officials plan to
bring an elementary school within
three-eighths of mile of every
school pupil in the District. At pres
ent. he declared, many children live
at far greater distances from the
schools. while many more are within
that distance Of three or four schools.
DR.. Ballou expressed the belief that
there are now too many school build
tng.s of the small eight-room type IN
the city. 1t is not the purpose of the
junior high school. he explained, to
destroy these buildings, but to build
the system on these buildings Eight
room structures are embarrassing to
educational purposes, he pointed out.
and officials are planning to add to as
many OF them as possible to make
them buildings of sixteen rooms or
more.
Fnvors Kindergnrtens.
Establishment Of additicna kin
dergartens probably will be one re-
suit of the development OF the
3unior high school department pro-
gram, DR.. Ballou said, IN stressing
"a kindergarten should be In every
building having the first six school
grades" he said. THE kindergarten
should be the prerequisite to entrance
into the first grade OF the elementary
schools" -
In opening the meeting Capt. julius
I. Peyser. president of the association,
represent every civic organization in
the District. I'VE are going to CO.
operate with all Of the associations"
he said. I'VE are not going to work
in opposition to other associations.
