Her Loyalty to
Virginia

LONDON, Dec. lady AS
tors Virginian loyalties were
aroused by Laborites in the
house of commons, but by
leaving the hall during the de-
bate she aroused the women
Labor members even more
strongly.
She is supporting a bill which
would allow an English woman
to keep her nationality after
marrying a foreigner. She said
she was in a peculiarly apt
position to speak with real feel
ing on the subject. With a
Southern drawl in her voice.
she said:
81 am still a passionate Vir-
ginian. If / lived away from
my country for 100 years /

SICK CHILDREN
CITY PROBLEM

Declaring that the Board Of
Education has already gone the
limit" in providing disqualification
for tubercular and crippled chill.
dren, Charles F. Carusi, president
Of the board, at a meeting yes
terday in the Franklin Admins
tration Building, directed that
various local agencies be en-
powered to take the matter of
further disqualification under con.
sideration.
Charge Resented
The subject was approached
yesterday when Superintendent
Of Schools Frank w. Ballou took
exception to the charge made at
the last meeting Of the board by
DR.. George M. Kober, Of the
Association for the Prevention of
tuberculosis, who charged that
the schools failed to provide a
24-hour school for tubercular
children.
DR.. Carusi stated that the
board was not equipped to care
for sick children. The board
decided that the solicitation Of
money for the sale Of tubercu-
loSis seals in the schools shall be
prohibited this year.
Delay Site Purchase
The board agreed to request
the District Commissioners to de.
lay the purchase Of q site at
Thirty-ninth anC Garrison Streets
Northwest for a school building.
DR.. Ballou declared yesterday
that the officials Of the school
should not be deputized as as
sistant marshals by bringing
children from the classes to re-
ceive warrants Of arrest. DR..
Carusi stated that it was a
rather bad thing for the morale"
of the school when other children
saw their classmates appre-
hended.
A report made by George D.
Strayer, school statistician, at the
request Of DR.. Carusi, showed that
only a very small percentage Of
nonresident pupils pay tuition.
