SOON DUE

School Principals Given Plan
for Getting Facts in Sur
Vey in District.

Definite plans for the survey of
Washington's public schools to deter
mine the number of children in need
of more adequate meals were laid be-
fore the supervising principals and the
principals of Junior and senior high
schools by DR.. Frank w. Ballou, super
intendent, in an executive meeting of
the staff at the Franklin Administration
Building today.
AS planned by Dr. Ballou, the re-
ports from each division of elementary
schools and from each junior and senior
high school will contain the following
information:
81. Approximate number of pupils in
the division or in junior or senior high
school who now are being given break
fast or lunch. How many more, if any,
who need food are not now being served.
Information on Menus.
80. Indicate the menu, in general, for
breakfast and for lunch, who now
serves it and how and where.
80. The present cost per day by di-
vision or junior or senior high school
of furnishing food to children, and how
that cost is being met
Although the meeting at which the
whole question of underprivileged chill
OIGIl WAS GISIuSoeQ was eAeCuLlVe, IL DE-
came known that no opinions were ex-
pressed by any OF the school officers as
to the extent of need for food for Dis
trict pupils. The discussions centered
about the manner in which the survey,
which DR.. Ballou decided upon yester-
day, is to be made.
Tact in Making Survey.
The chief concern centered about the
possibilities of getting such intimate
information as whether children re-
ceived breakfast before they left home
without violating the privacy of the
children's homes, and without causing
embarrassment to the needy children.
DR.. Ballou declared yesterday and re-
iterated today that he would not eX-
press an opinion on the ACCESSIBILITY of
congressional appropriation to provide
lunches and possibly breakfasts for
needy children until the actual need
had been learned through the survey.
He is Of the opinion, however, that I'M
less there is an acute need for financial
aid the whole question should remain
the problem of Washington's school Of
flcers and teachers and of the parent
teacher associations. The survey will
be completed as soon as possible, and
reports are expected to reach the Frank

Sports Writer, New York World TeJepra,

NEW YORK, Nov. 11.-Max
Carey, new boss of the Dodgers, is
in Brooklyn today, ready to tell his
hopes and aspirations and ponder
over the divers trades which have
been preached by other clubs or
suggested by his own desires and
impressions.
Carey is not going to make the
mistake of spouting brash state
ments and hazarding bold promises.
He is too old and experienced a
hand to underestimate the size of
the job which confronts him-and
he is too crafty a campaigner to
promise Brooklyn fans pennant.
Carey will have to make several
changes in the personnel of the
club and he will have to change it's
psychology. He will find it little
hard at first to institute a system
based on training rules and atten-
ton to behaviorism. 1t was the
method of Wilbert Robinson, de-
posed pilot, to judge a player solely
by what he did on the field.
This antique system no longer is
workable. In his faith in the play
ers Uncle Robbie made a lot of mis-
