SCHOOL BOARD
SCORED As
TARDY

The alleged diIatoriness Of the
Board Of Education in spending
the funds provided By Congress
for additional school buildings Ia
the National Capital was severely
criticised today by Representa-
tive Robert o.. Simmons CRJ,
Nebraska, In q speech on the floor
OF the House.
Simmons, chairman Of the
District subcommittee Of the
House Appropriations COMMITTEES.
ayerred he had been engaged for
weeks past in going over the
records showing the amounts al
lowed for washington schools IN
recent years by Congress and
their beIated disbursements by

member, nevertheless, vigorously
charged that the Board Of Educar
zion, and not Congress. was re
sponsible for present overcroWoeo
conditions.
AZ the outset Representative
simmons said that there had
Feen 4 recent interchange Of cor
Mespondence between Senator Cap
Ger. chairman Of the Senate Dis
frict Committee, and DR.. Charles
b. Carusi, president Of the Board
AZ Education, following the re-
zuuest Of Capper for IAN authOrita-
tive statement showing the exact
status Of the fiveyear building
program act.
Carusi Heard From
IN his reply, according to Rep
NNesentative Simmons, DR.. Carusi
nalbmited 2O-odd pages Of closely
typewritten and mimeographed
matter, including q memorandum
by DR.. Ballou, Superintendent Of
Schools.
Representative Simmons said
that DR.. Carusi therein reached
the expected conclusion that no
fault attaches to the Board Of
Education and that q 1ongSuffer-
ing, If not q kind, Congress is to
blame"
Simmons then undertook to
tear down the Caru t-Ballou argu-
rnent by detailing, one after an
other, the alleged indefensible de-
lays, in the both the beginning
and completion Of construction Of
new school buildings appropri-
ated for by Congress. These de-
lays, he asserted, ran into months
or years, although DR.. CaruSi
claimed that the Board Of Educa-
ton sis not aware Of any serious
administrative delay" in using
funds appropriated for public
school buildings.
Growing Rapidly
The District subcommittee
: chairman said in conclusion that
the five-year building program,
authorized by Congress In 1925,
could not constitute set-up for
1880 or 1881. since Washington
is so rapidly growing, but in
spite of the defects Of the law;
in spite of the faulty and III
flexible provisions in it; in spite
of items which it enormously au-
thorized, the Congress has gone
ahead and has met the need, just
so fast as the need developed and
prudent expenditure Of funds
juStifies."

In a preliminary study at Ton.

though 900 Tonkawans survived At
the time of the civil war only ~
flill-blooded members now remain
and the group will soon disappear
entirely through intermarrlage with
other tribes.
The origin OF the TonkaYa In

they are believed to be related to
the Siouian and Hokan tribes. They
are now farmers. he said, but ori.

deny that, according to Hoijer.
