PLAN FOR HEALTH:
SCHOOL DELAYED
Board Seeks Further. Light
on 24-Hour Service Pro-
poSaI of Association.

When conditions surrounding the lives
Of the tubercular pupils in the Districts
two health schools were blamed by
spokesmen for the Association for the
Prevention of tuberculosis for the fact
that less than. 90 per cent OF these chill
dren receive cure cards each year, the
Board Of Education meeting yesterday
advised the associations members to
draw up a concrete plan for the -eStab-
lishment of a 24-hour schedule In the
two schools in place of the present five
hour plan which would meet the objec-
tions voiced by DR.. Frank W. Ballou
superintendent of schools, for future
presentation to the board.
AT the same time the board delayed
action on the report of DR.. Ballou in
which the superintendent opposed the
establishment of 24-hetir service because
he questions the legal right of the school
authorities to change the health schools
from educational institutions to what
would be, fundamentally, sanitariurns.
and because If the change were made,
the school authorities would then be
without place to school pupils whose
parents objected TO their installation in
''sanitariunas - 6. -xk., 4
Argue for Fun Time.
DR.. J,@WyPeabcdy, and Mrs. E. r.
Grant we're the spokesmen for the
tuberculosis association who addressed
the board yesterday on behalf of 24-hour
service for the Districts tubercular
pupils. They called attention to the
fact that the absence Of sanitarium
to which children who are not "bed
cases" can be sent, necessitates the
return of the health school pupils to.
their homes for 10 hours of every day.
{ These homes, they asserted, In most
cases are afflicted with more serious
cases of tuberculosis than the children
themselves are suffering with. Less than
20 per cent of the pupils receive cards
Aignifyirig their cure during the school
year, while most of the pupils. they
contended, get steadily worse until they
are 'bed cases. when by law they may
be sent to hospitals. BY that time,
however, the children are so i'll that
many of them die soon after being
transferred to the hospitals, it was said.
Under the plan supported by the

association, DR.. Peabody and Mrs.
Grant declared, the facilities afforded
by the two schools which now are used
only 5 hours a day would be made
available for ID hours. No additional
cost would be borne by the District
because the association in conjunction
with the Board of Public welfare
would supply the necessary funds for
expenses during the 19 additional hours
OF the buildings operation.
May Need Congressional Aid.
Dr. Charles F. Carusi, president of
the school board, told Dr. Peabody and
Mrs. Grant that the board was en-
tirely sympathetic with their proposal
and would be glad to do all IN their
power to. alleviate present conditions
pending congressional authorization of
the establishment of full sanitariums
here. He ordered that copies of DIR.
Ballou's report opposing the plan be
given the association so that it could
meet the objections if possible and
represent its case at a future meeting
Of the board.
When the resolution of the Congress
Heights Parent Teacher Association
recommending uniform dress" for the
District high school girls was read to
the board by Harry o. Hine, secretary,
the board tabled" it pending action
by the Congress of Parent-Teacher AS
Sociations., DR.. F. L A. Bennett, MEM
ber of the board, declared, following the
reading of the resolution:
Called Dangerous" Subject.
"Td suggest We avoid anything hav-
ing to do with so dangerous subject
as dress" Henry Giiligan, however,
expressed himself as interested" and
DR.. Ballou proposed waiting for an ex-
preston of an opinion by the parents
congress.
Mrs. Bertha Eldred, member of the
Congress Heights Parent Teacher group
which addressed the resolution to the
board, appeared at the meeting yes
terday to augment the written docu-
ment with verbal suggestion. Whereas
the resolution as originally adopted
suggested middle blouses and skirts as
a proper costume for high school girls,
Mrs. Eldred yesterday suggested that
colored smocks, which could be worn
over simple dress, might be more
acceptable to the girls. She accepted

case be presented to the Congress of.
