Dissatisfaction over the action
of the Board of Education in TAX
ing a poll of its members in con-
nection with the transfer of the
Greenleaf School from white chill
dren to colored was expressed to
day by the board of trustees OF
the Neighborhood House.
Mrs. Wilbur j. Carr, wife Of the
Assistant Secretary of State and
president of the Neighborhood
House board, declared today that
the members of her board would
prefer to have a full sitting of the
Board of Education to consider
the transfer.
The school board recently voted
to turn the Southwest school over
to the colored division on the
grounds that the white popula.
ton in that section of the city
was declining and the colored was
the larger.
The board agreed, howev !.
that statistics should be gathered
by the school department and by
Southwest citizen and community
groups. These figures are to be
presented to members of the
board in August at which time
another vote will be taken by a
poll.

impossibility of a full sitting of
the school be d during the Suln-

public works program, where the

 Peace Prize is the occasion for a certain amount of cynical comment. One sympathize with this. For the eminent statesmen to whom it has been awarded, great may be their passion for peace have amentably failed to express that passion in the most adequate manner-by pursuing an effective policy of disarmament Yet their en- deavors have been fruitful up to point. They have at least created new psychology in relation to The world is still prepared for war, but those public utterances which glorify it re- garded as shameful. And that is something-a step in the right direction. The Nobel Prize is not
 intended necessarily for the most scrupuous pacst, but for the who most effectively furthers the cause of peace-brings the realized ideal of peace a little If we try to fit the peace prize winners-Sir Austen Chamberlain, M.
