DISPUTE ADJUSTED
ON SCHOOL NAMES
Board and Commissioners, in
Compromise, Select Two
Each After ParIey.

The long-standing dispute between
the Commissioners and the board of
education over the naning of four
settled through a compromise ar
rangement, it was learned today in
school circles. The adjustment was
made at q conference yesterday aft
ernoon between the Commissioners
and Daniel ]. Callahan, president of
the school board.
Under the agreement two of the
four names recommended by the Com
missioners were chosen. as were two
of the four names chosen By the
board. Formal announcement of such
an arrangement will he made by
President Callahan at the first fall
meeting of the school board this aft
srnoon at the Franklin School.
Ex-orHcinIs Selected.
Two of the four names selected by
the Commissioners. which were ap-
proved, are: Charles Raymond Wal
ker and Lemon Galpin Hine. both for
mer District Commissioners. Mr.. Wal
ker was Commissioner from January
27, 1883, to February 3, 1890, and Mr..
Hine was Commissioner from May 81,
1889, TO February 3, 1890.
OF the four names recommended by
the board those chosen are: Bernard
T. Janney, who was connected with
the school system from the early 70's
until his death January Il. 1915. and
George Bancroft, former secretary
of the Navy, ambassador to the Court
of St. James and to Germany, and a
resident OF the District for many
years.
The old Eastern High School, which
will open Monday as a junior high
school, will be known as the Hine
cinity of Spring road will be called
the Walker School. The name of jan
lney School will be given to the new
building, which will replace the old
Tenley School, while the new building,
in Ingleslde, will be known as the
Bancroft School.
Reject Submitted Names.
Names for the four new schools
were first. submitted to the Commits
sioners for their approval early in
March and were politely rejected on
the ground that they did not include
former District government officials:
With the rejection the board received
IlSt OF names LOT lnSSo uullulhkS .
prepared by the Commissioners in
lieu of those recommended by the
board.
At it's meeting April II, however,
the board declined to accept the
the names chosen by the Commis-
sioners and insisted that the names II
had originally selected be approved.
The board at this time held that the
policy of naming schools for persons
in one official group is not a procedure
which recognizes the fundamental
principles, upon which the decision
should be based.
The two names selected by the
board, which were not approved un-
der the compromise agreement are
Joseph j. Darlington and John B.
Henderson. Mr.. Darlington was a
former member of the school board
and a prominent Washington at
torney, while Mr.. Henderson was a

and a delegate to the pan-Americau
conference and was long identified
with the development of the District

mission.
Third. Mr.. White. when he rented
his property, Is said to have had no
knowledge of any arrangements for

boxing center was that the site for
thcibouts was directly across the road
way from the proposed site for a
new school building.
