SCHOOL DISPUTE
CROPS OUT ANEW
Alexandria Trouble Thought
Adjusted Comes Up Again
at Meetings.
BY HOWARD NJ. BAGGETT,
stan Correspondent of The Star.

ALEXANDRIA, Va, March l9.-The
local school trouble, considered by the
School Board properly to have been
settled following the detailed survey of
DR.. w. S. Y. Chitchley, received a few
days ago, apparently is as unsettled. as
at any time since the recent public
clamor to have it investigated began,
after meetings of the School Board and
of the Alexandria Citizens Committee
on Public Schools, each held last night.
The entire question was precipitated
again by letter received by the School
Board from Sidney B. Hall. superin-
tendant of public instruction, saying
that he did not feel that survey made
by one man would answer the situation
and suggesting that it would be best
to have a survey by three impartial edu-
Gators. This is directly opposite to a
letter received from Supt. Hall by the
board about two weeks ago, in which
he stated that he was pleased that DR..
Chitchley was making the survey.
The School Board last night took the
position that they were entirely salts
fed with DR.. Chitchley'S report, but
would leave the matter up to the judg-
ment of Supt Hall after he had read
the l75-page survey, which he Will re-
ceive within a few days. II he deems
it best. the board indicated that 1t
would order a new survey and call on
CITY Council for an appropriation to
meet the costs of such a survey.
The letter from the State superin-
K ndent IL almost Identical with the de-
mands made on the School Bosrd by the
Citizens Committee and by the Cham
Der of Commerce that three impartial
Virginia educators be employed to make
a complete survey
