OUTSIDE: PUPILS
FACING BAN

ReSurrected and scanned each
year for several years by the
House District Committee, the
problem of the exclusion of non
resident children from District
public schools will probably be
given a showdown this year, for
the sake of economy.
DR.. Frank w. Ballou, superin-
tendent of schools, has been au-
thorized by the Board of Educa-
ton to confer with city officials
with the aim to clarity the pro-
cedure in excluding these children.
The school superintendent is
of the opinion that children liv-
ing in nearby Maryland and Vir-
ginia should not be permitted
entrance in schools here because
of the undue burden it places on
District taxpayers.
Although parents of non-resi-
dent children are supposed to
pay tuition if their children are
entered in the local schools, ex-
emptions are so numerous that
less than IS per cent pay tut
ton.

Fess, long. an uncompromising
dry and leader in the Anti-Saloon

"I think we are obligated to
give the people an opportunity

tiOn."
While Fess was retreating from
