BALL0U PRAISES
TEACHERS UNITY
Calls Success of LiberaIized
Retirement Law Due to
Unanimity.

Warm praise for the una nimity dis
played by Washington school teachers
and others interested In the passage OF
the liberaliZed teachers retirement
law is voiced by DIR. Frank w. Ballou
superintendent of schools, in the
fourth section of his annual report
which was made public last night.
DIR. Ballou asserts that the success
of the legislation no doubt was due to
the systematic efforts and unanimity
of opinion among those concerned
with the legislation" This section OF
the annual report deals entirely with
contains in full the report of Auditor
Daniel j. Donovan to the District
Commissioners on the subject.
Purpose Is Explained.
''The passage of legislation amend
ing the teachers retirement law" says
DIR. Ballou, represents additional
legislation looking toward the i'm.
provement of the teaching service in
the District. The purpose of this legis
lation is to provide more adequate
retirement provision for additional EN-
ployes in the District. This is done
by increasing the maximum amount
on which the teacher makes her con.
by an increase in the amount which
the Government contributes as it's part
of the teachers annuity fund.
ut Is a significant fact worthy OF
particular mention that this legisla-
ton represents the first attempt made
to modify the original teachers re-
tirement law. which was approved
June Is, 1920. The success achieved
in securing the prompt enactment oi
this legislation Isl undoubtedly largely
due to the manner in which the legis-
lation was organized and presented tC
Congress-
Names Legislation Committee.
The legislation was in charge OF
the committee on legislation of the
Board of Education. of which Mrs
William H. Heron was chairman
Rev F. I. A. Bennett and Mrs. Coralie
+. Cook were the other members. The
superintendents. Kramer and Wilkin-
son. participated in all conferences
having to do with the legislation.
THE teachers council was repre-
sented in the conferences by com
mittee,~of which Miss nj. Gertrude
Young, principal of the Peabody Hill
ton School, was chairman. Other
members were: w. J. Wallis, head
of department of mathematics: Miss
II. G. LASER, teacher. Central High
School; Miss Maize Rose, teacher, JEFF
ferson Junior High School; Miss
Evelyn Naylor. teacher, physical
training department; Miss NJ w

Lillian Shackelford. teacher, Henry

Popular Johnny Cake
Troced TO .Sh0Dnees

1t has been generally claimed by
students of words that Johnny cake"
is corruption of Journey cake" Ap-
pafently there is no evidence tossup-
port the theory. VIII HI. Lowdermilk,
in his History of Cumberland, has ad-
vanced theory which seems to be
more plausible. A favorite article of
diet among the Shawnee Indians who
lived in Maryland, Pennsylvania, Vir-
ginia and Ohio was a cake made of
corn beaten as fine as the means at
command would permit. This was
mised with water and baked on a fiat
stone which had been previously heat
ed in the fire. The early hunters and
trappers in this region followed the
example Of the Indians In making
these cakes, which they called SHAW
nee cakes." after the tribe. After the
lapse of few years Shawnee cake
was corrupted by those who did not
know it's origin into Johnny cake"
