Board of Education he made finan.
cially independent of the District
Commissioners and that scien.
tific school building survey be

The letter states that 1t has
recently completed a \survey of the
local school systems which has re-
vealed conditions which cannot be
remedied except by action Of Con-

This organization is fully con
WINGED that an elective Board of Edu-
cation responsive to public opinion
and free to take such administrative
| action as public opinion, through
the ballot box, may desire, and not
bound by endless legislation against
making any educational progress is

District School problem, the con
gresS declares.
The letter to Congressman Reed Is
signed by Mrs. Giles Scott Rafter,
president of the congress. She
states that the congress has sixty.

Congressman Gasque declared
that some of the District public
school buildings are the worst he
has ever seen. He severely criticized
Congress for permitting the District
schools to fall so far behind the re.
quirement of the city.
