INFERIOR DIPLOMAS
WILL Be REJECTED
BaIIou Authorizes Plan to
Present Graduates With
Dummy" Scrolls.

The Board of Education prohably
will scrap the approximately 1000
inferior diplomas which have been
delivered at the Franklin School for
distribution among the February
graduates at the local senior ana
Junior high schools, and present
dummy diplomas to the gradu-
ates beginning next Thursday, Harry
o. Hine, secretary of the board, tndi-
Gated today.
Secretary Hine was vested with au-
thority to reject all of the inferior di-
plomas by Or. Frank w. Ballou, SIT
perintendent. A canvass Of num-
Der Of members of the board, inClud-
ing Vice President Charles r. Carusi,
indicates they are all in accord with
Secretary Hines determination 10 re-
fuse the entire lot.
p Time Is Lacking.
Inasmuch as it appears to be a
physical impossibility for new diplo-
mas to be printed in time for the
graduations next week, particularly
in view of the fact It takes 81 hours
merely for them to dry, to say moth
ing of the laborious job of engrossi1g
them, the use of dummy diplomas
must be resorted to.
IncSe dummies presumably VIII
be blank paper in the shape of real
diplomas, tied with ribbon and bear
ing some appropriate wording to in
dictate they are TO be exchanged later
for copies of the same high.grade
diplomas which have been used in
previous years.
Opposes Inferior Product.
Dr. Baltou laid emphasis on the
fact today that school officials have
never contemplated nor will they
countenance accepting an inferior
product in the interests of financial
economy"
Need for the new system of having
diplomas printed which involves the
owning Of a set of plates by the
School Board and the purchase of the
paper at the Government Printing
ONCE, was brought about, according
to school offlcials, to correct what was
believed an unbusinesslike policy pur-
sued in the past
Plates Caused Situation.
Hitherto the board each wear has
been compelled to pay for new set
of plates through the system of bid.
ding, 1t is alleged by school officials.
In short, the board over a period of
20 years has paid for plates for the
diplomas as many times
To correct this, the board OF appor-
| tiOnments arrived at the new system
employed this year, that Of supplying
both plates and paper at a saving of
Il 80 cents per diploma.
