Passage OF the Gasque bill pro-

chairman OF the House District
Committed
The vital matter of the educa-
ton of our children and the adj
mfnistration of one-third of our
tax money, the board said, will
be placed under this or any similar
bill at the mercy of species Of
ward politics which cannot produce
better results than we now enjoy
under the present system of ap.
pointment.
I'VE believe that, IL suffrage is
to be extended to the District OF
Columbia, it would not start with
the schools, but instead should end
with the schools, after the electo-
rate of the District has had suffi-
cient experience and schooling to
know what suffrage really means"
The board based It's stand on
three arguments: That the present
system assures men Of integrity,
free of political control: that the
record of the present board stands
for itself: and that the people of
the District have ample opportunity
now to present their claims through
public hearings.
