SCHOOL NATIONS
REHEAR|NG ASKED
Head of Ben W. Murch Group
Asks Education Board
to Reconsider.

Unwilling to bow to the adverse rul-
ing of the Board of Education on its
request for a matron at its new school
building, Mrs. Leslie B. Wright. presi-
dent of the Ben w. Murch Home AMI
School Association, has asked DR.
Charles F. Carusi, school board presi-
dent, for a rehearing of the whole mat
ter.
In her letter to DR.. Carllsi, Mrs
Wright answered the boards objections
to the establishment of matrons al
elementary schools and to their salary
maintenance by Parent-Teacher Asso-
Citations, and reiterated the Ben w
Murch Associations arguments N favor
of that policy.
Referring to reports Of the school
boards action, Mrs. Wright declared
in her letter that contrary to the boards
belief that matronS are wanted to re-
lieve teachers of recess duty" wom-
an attendant is needed to care for the
emergencies, which call for the services
of some one with more time than the
already overworked teacher" The aSso-
citation president called attention tc
the fact that the school building will
be used 3 hours by the Community
Center Department and asserted that
since children attend these sessions III
is not decent to leave only men laborerS
in the building"
Continuing. Mrs. Wrights letter gel
forth the hope that if the board is tc
frown upon the employment of ma
irons by the parents of tie schoo
children, then it must necessarily fee
that an appropriation to provide ma
irons in elementary schools is urgently
needed and it Is trusted the board vii
make such a recommendation"

PRESIDENT FRIENDLY
TO RETIREMENT BILL
Representative Lehlbach Tells Of
Conference at White House
on Pending Measure.

President Hoover was represented to-
day as being favorably inclined toward
the Dale-Lehlbach bill liberalizing the
retirement act for Federal employees,
according to Representative Lehlbach
of New Jersey, chairman Of the House
civil service committee, following con-
ference with the President today.
Representative Lehlbach said after
ward that he went over the main fea-
lures of the liberalization bill with
the President, which bill raises the
maximum annuity from $1,000 year
to 81 200 a year, and which gives
the employees the option of retiring
two years earlier than the present re-
tirement act permits, provided they
have had 80 years of service. The
bill is virtually the same as the one
which passed both houses last year, but
which was given a vest-pocket veto by
former President Coolidge.
Representative Lehlbach stated that
the bill is now in his committee and
will be favorably reported shortly. He
has no doubt about it being passed.
