which she declared that both sani-
| tary and lighting conditions in the
| Force Adams School, which have
been complained of, are no better
than "A month ago.

| it was urged that the school authorf-
| ties be pressed until conditions in the
Force Adams and other schools are
| improved
Wide difference of opinion as to
the five-year school building program

meeting of chairmen of the commit
tees on school expansion, educational
met DDS and progress and the COM
mittee on legislation. to make a de-
tailed study of the program.
Peyser Hits appointments.
Capt. Julius I. Peyser, d member of
the Board of Education and former
president of the society, fiayed the
policy of appointing residents of
the District to positions in the public
schools here. A motion by Mrs. w
T. Bannermau to go on record as
opposing such appointments was re-
ferred to the committee on school
personnel, which was Instructed to
report at the next meeting.
Later, Capt. PeySer criticized the
Board of Education and declared ii
had lost it's usefulness. The only
way in the world that we will be able
to correct these unsatisfactory con-
ditions pertaining to the schools in
the District is to have the vote and
elect the Board of Education" he de-
clared.
Representative Frederick n Zihl-
