MADE ATTACK
On BAL[OU
w. c. Reudiger Says His Re-
marks on Alleged Interdict
We're Misinterpreted

Declining to accept the invitation
OF Ernest Greenwood, vice president
Of the Board of Education, to ap-
pear before the board to explain
further his remarks delivered Mon
day at the Franklin School, Dean
w. G.. ReudigeF, of the Teachers
College Of George Washington Uni
versity. in letter to Mr.. Green
wood has denied that he had
made any charge against Superin-
tendent Ballou.
Dean Reudiger, in his letter,
stated that q wrong Interpretation
had been put on his remarks, which
had to do with an interdict he
learned had been issued preventing
any public discussion Of the platoon
system by Miss Burrows, Of the
Bureau OF Education.
Just before going to the Frank
lin School," Dean Reudiger stated,
"I learned that Miss Barrows had
been requested by Commissioner
Tigert not to address audiences in
the District Of Columbia on the
subject of platoon schools. AS /
am an ardent believer in free
speech, this disturbed me consider
ably. The matter, however, left
my consciousness until in the course
Of my talk had occasion to refer
TO q published article on platoon
schools by Miss Barrows.
''As an aside I referred to this
interdict and expressed by disap-
prevail OF it. 1t seems obvious, OF
course, that this interdict resulted
from the fact that the idea of
platoon schools is q subject Of con-
troversy in the District, but I had
no knowledge that superintendent
Ballou had been instrumental in
bringing it about and it never oc-
Cured to me to make such 6sser-
ton. I can account the statement
as printed only as an inference
from what I did say"
Dean Reudiger also denied that
he asserted that washington
teachers did not dare to express
themselves on the subject Of platoon
schools
