tion of an addition to present rural

the Board of Education further recon-
mends appropriations as follows, or so

UPPER MARLBORO, Md. November
13-Disposition of two teacher person.
mel questions and four matters affecting
school buildings was made by the Prince
Georges County Board Of Education at
its November meeting yesterday,
A controversy over the retention of
Miss Cecilia Alvater, primary teacher
at the Glenn Dale School, was revealed
when two delegations appeared before
the board. One of these, including Mrs
e. M. Woods, r. A. Sigler, trustees, and
others, reported that the enrolment of
the school had decreased because of the
objection of certain parents to sending
their children to Miss Alvater. who
they claim, does not have the proper
temperament for teaching.
VIII Remain for Term.
This delegation made no particular
criticism of the teachers work, but
recommended to the board that she be
transferred. Another delegation, how
ever. strongly Endorsed Miss Alvater's
work, and the board ordered that she
be continued at the Glenn Dale School
for the remainder of the present school
year unless there should be some UNI
expected development
In another order dealing with the

It's decision. of last week reinstating
Elsie Young as teacher at the Accokeek
Colored School and directed that she
be transferred to the Danville Colored
School.
A delegation from the Silver Hill
School. headed by Henry Witt, trustee,
asked that sanitary system be installed
at the community's school. On motion,
the sum of $1,000 was listed for this
purpose in the 1880 budget estimates.
Re-establishment of the sixth and
seventh grades at the Tippett School
was requested by o delegation of par
ents, who pointed out that such step
would bring the total enrolment up to
20. This request was refused for the
reason that contract already had been
made with a bus driver to transport
the children to the Surratsville School.
New School Is Asked.
Edward Gross, trustee, headed q
delegation which petitioned for a new
colored school building at Arnnendale.

CLARENDON, Va, November l3.-
But three more public hearings are
scheduled by the Arlington County
Zoning Commission before the tenta-
tive coming ordinance is turned over to
the Board of County Supervisors, it
was stated today by A. J. Webb, Sec
rotary of the former body.
The next hearing will be at the court
house Friday night and will take In
the most thickly settled section of
Arlington County and one of the largest
areas yet to be heard, This hearing
will include Clarendon precincts Nos.
and 2: Ballston, Lyon Park, Lyon
Village, Glen Carlyn and Aurora
Heights. Residents of the sections will
be made acquainted with the ideas of
the commission with regard to the vari-
Gus types of development, the reasons
for so designating them and the loca-
tion of the commercial areas which, 1t
is believed, will exceed in size and
number those Of any similar area In

j. c. Mcclellan, president Of the
Virginia Highlands Citizens Associa-
ton, and John C. Gall, president Of the
Aurora Hills Civic League, special
committee that was appointed Monday
night for arranging mass meeting
for the Virginia Highlands precinct.
Yesterday wrote to the commission
asking 1t to name date for second
hearing for this section.
They pointed out that there is gen.
eral dissatisfaction among the resi-
dents of that community with respect
to the designation of a portion Of the
South Washington section as heavy
Industrial" and that the citizens be-
lieve they were not given sufficient OPP
portiinity at the last meeting to present
their views on the subject.
Ask Opportunity for All.
1t is stated in the letter that the
Hume School was most unusual place
to hold a public hearing and that the
members of the two associations are
anxious to have another one in the
Jefferson District Community Hall.
where all may be given an opportunity
TO present their views to the commits
sion.
There is a general feeling among the
owners of property in this section that
heavy industrial" area is not needed
and that to place 1t there would tend
not only to create a nuisance to the
nearby home owners. but would cause
decided decrease in the value Of their
property.
If the commission takes favorable
action on the request 1t will mean that
there must be an additional hearing
before the ordinance is turned over to
the supervisors, who are required by
law to hold one general public hearing
before adopting the ordinance.

School, II the Board of Education would
recommend 1t.
From the boards letter It Is apparent
that such o recommendation is only
made after three other requests for
transportation, received earlier, are
granted.
In regard to the commissioners re-
quest the board points out In Its letter
that the Marlboro Colored High School
totally inadequate" for present en-
roilment, and asks an immediate appro-
priation Of sac, 900 for the purchase of
land and erection of new elementary
ana nigh school to supplant it.
Inc board also states that there has
peen no settled county policy In the
matter OF transportation, and after re-
viewing the present transportation
SITUATION characterizes It as "ineuuita-
ole ana expresses its disapproval of
conditions as they now exist.
Inc letter has the effect of passing
oack TO the commissioners the final de-
clsion in the matter, for the board, in
so many words, recommends that high
school pupils should be transported free
OF cost provided the same rule Is ape
pied throughout the county, and pro-
vioed the commissioners are willing to
appropriate funds SUFFICIENT for this pur-
pose"
In this connection, an answer is re-
quested to two pertinent questions Do
the commissioners wish ali high school
pupils to be charged $40 a year for
transportation, approximately one-half
the. cost, as is done at present In a few
instances, and should the high school
pupils be transported free of cost, which
would necessitate the waving of the
charges now imposed on three lines?
The board points out that It's present
transportation expenditure is $21, 700 q
year, $40, 1000 Of which is provided In the
budget appropriations, $500 derived
from pupil payments and 5000 through
a special appropriation of the county
commissioners.
