SCHOOL
ATTENDANCE
VOLUNTARY

The Board of Education will
not take any action to compel
parents in the vicinity Of
portable schools at Fourteenth
Street and Kalmia Road to send
their children to these schools.
At yesterdays meeting of the
board a request for such action
from the Sixteenth Street Heights
Citizens Association was denied.
DIR. Frank w. Ballou, superin-
tendent, said parents whose chill
dren do not attend the portables
are arranging for them to attend
other schools, and added that II
parents are willing to undergo
the inconvenience of taking the
children longer distances he felt
the board would not be justified
In Interfering.
PortabIes Called "Sties"
simultaneously with the re-
ceipt Of the resolution from the
citizens association the board re-
ceived letter from F. e. Huxley,
1000 block Alaska Ave-, charac-
teriing the Kalmia Road portables
as "pigssties," and declaring that
they are filthy, a disgrace to the
District, unhealthy, poorly heated
and ventilated" DR.. Ballou said
one Of the portables had been
closed and the children trans
ferred to other schools.
The board authorized a trial
Of radio education in the schools.
The offer Of radio distribution
company to place about IL radios
In Junior high and elementary
schools for period of six or
eight weeks was accepted. The
board emphasized, however, that
this action was not to be taken
as establishing a policy. The
tadios will be used for reception
Of broadcasts of the American
School Of the Air.
Teachers Ask Aid
A complaint from the Teachers
Union, asking for clerical help in
the work connected with educa-
tional tests was received. The
complaint stated that from 3 to
35 hours extra work on the part
Of the teachers was made neces-
sary by the tests. The matter
was referred to DR.. Ballou.
Two or three communications
were received from citizen groups
regarding employment of matrons
in schools. All such letters were
referred to the finance committee
Of the board. A complaint of
lack Of lights in the Paul School
was received and 1t was stated
the appropriation for that school
is insufficient to install lights
until the new budget is adopted.

Nine-tenths of the bright sayings
of children are buds, which is I'M
fortunate, because once In while
q child achieves something droll
or striking. As, for example, the
child who had been out In the fam

windshield cleaner work. It was
one of those cleaners that clean a
semi-circular space on the window
in front of the driver. The child
did not refer to it. and no one no
ticed that he was at all interested.
The next day he was taken for a
drive was rainy and the windshield
began to steam up. Daddy" said

PLANS GET UNDER WAY
FOR WASHINGTON WEEK

Preparations are being made
throughout the state by CONNER
cial organizations, service clubs,
state officials, school and citizens
in general, to join IN the enthusi-
astic observance of the fifth an
nual Washington Week, February
1922, 1880.
This annual celebration is the
tape-crossing event of the COM
bined efforts of state organizations
and community leaders during the
year to school the citizens of the
state that Washington may be
made First in every endeavor.
After five years of consistent eff
forts Washington show signs of
becoming acquainted with itself
and to further emphasize the pos
sible development of the state
the week of George Washington's
birthday is devoted to bringing to
the attention of the people their
accomplishments, educational IA
cilities, developed and natural re-
sources, varied products, health
full climate, and scenic beauty.
This newspaper, with other lead
ing newspapers of the state, has
during this five-year period, will
ingly and whole heartedly support
ed this movement, and again
pledges it's news and editorial col
umns to the extent that it's readers
may become more thoroughly ac-
quainted with the awakening en-
deavor and become equally enthus-
ed over their home state.
For the five years just closing
the Washington State Chamber of
Commerce, Manufacturers Associ-
alton of Washington and Washing
ton Press Association, sponsors
this movement under the title of
Awakening of Washington. AS this
trial period ends there has been
expressed the feeling that the citi-
zens of Washington have been
aroused and that from now on
these statewide organizations will
devote their efforts, with the CO.
operation of all, to make Washing
ton First. The 1880 Washington
Week, February 1922, will start
on this new and creditable mission.
This is one of series of fea-
ture articles released in the inter-
ests of Washington First.

fly at the same level, allowing suffi-

an area of a square mile. The
