Wider Education.

points, school houses to accommodate
all of the primary pupils.
1t was wisely decided to inaugurate
this plan by erecting the first school
building of the contemplated series in
the third school district, which COM
prised all of Washington south of the
Capitol, for its taxpayers were out
spoken in their demands that since
the Capitol itself faced their holdings
it was their just due to have first con-
sideration in the city's development.
There was unanimous agreement
upon the present site on Pennsylvania
avenue southeast, between Seventh
and Eighth streets. This at the time
belonged to Georgetown College, which
had narrowly escaped being located on
the nearby Carroll property, on South
Carolina avenue. When the college
authorities agreed to sell the entire
plot of 107,834 square feet for $1,000,
or such part of it as was desired for
the. contemplated school, Mayor Wal
ZACH forcefully pronounced: I'VE will
take the whole square"
Cluss Plans Accepted.
1t is reported that certain doubling
Thomases among his fellow School
Board members had difficulty IN seeing
how a modern school house archi-
tecturally attractive, containing 10
school rooms, each with seats for SO
to 60 pupils and a large hall in which
all the pupils could be assembled for
general purposes" could be paid for
out of the balance of the $4,000 ap-
propriated for the entire project, site
and building as well. However, Mayor
Wallach's resourcefulness apparently
was sufficient to carry the less progress
sive along in the wake of his enthu-
siasm, since after a city-wide compe-
tition the plans of Adolph Cluss, who
had made a study of the best school
architecture in this country and Eu-
rope, were presently accepted.
Dedicated in the presence of a "large
aSsemblage of interested persons with
formal ceremonies" on July 4, 1864
the same year that compulsory school
attendance became law in the Dis
trict of Columbia, the completed build
ing was appropriately called the Wal
ZACH School in honor of Mayor Wal
ZACH. To the mayor was thus given
the unusual privilege of realizing his
ideals and having his school slogan
come true not only in his lifetime but

STILL SUPPORT PATROLS

Although opposing the substitution
of schoolboy safety patrols for regular
police service in directing traffic, the
National Congress of Parents and
Teachers will continue to support the
patrols as a part of its Nation wide
school safety program, according to
announcement of Mrs. B. F. Lang
worthy, national president, in radio
address.
Her statement was designed to clear
up misunderstanding which have
grown out of the action of the Execu-
tive Committee, which adopted a reso-
luton deploring the practice prevalent
in some cities of using the boy patrols
instead of policemen as an economy
measure.
This indictment was interpreted in
some quarters as a move to abolish
the patrols, which Mrs. Langworthy
declares was not its intent. Mrs.
Langworthy's statement calls upon
the $4,000 local parent-teacher asso-
Citations affiliated with the national
congress to continue their support of
the boy patrols.

have come to be looked upon as mod
ern necessities in public school edu-
cation.
DR.. e. G. Kimball was an esteemed
supervising principal Of the third divi-
sion with headquarters at the Wallach
School. Changing centers of popu-
lation made redistricting necessary
and the Wallach School became divi-
sion headquarters for the seventh di-
vision eventually. Miss Elizabeth
Hummer, graduate of the School of
Education of George Washington Uni
versity, who had won her spurs as a
normal school teacher, succeeded to
the supervising principalship of the
division after the retirement of DR..
Kimball.
Miss Ella Crook, also a George
Washington University graduate, is
now the principal of the Wallach
School, and wears we'll the mantle of
her distinguished predecessors.
A character known to all of the
school children in the vicinity of the
Wallach School was Alec Parsons, the
janitor for many years. He was
friend and guide to many a lad, being
a Jealous custodian of the building
and grounds, elf-constituted at
tendance and truant officer, friendly
arbiter of school-boy tussles, a lover
Of sports and strong right hand of
justice and fair play whenever the
need arose. A frequent remark ad-
dressed to Miss Beers by her janitor,
which inevitably brought forth smiles
from the teaching corps, was: "Now,
Miss Annie. you're going to think I've
been exceeding my authority again,
but didn't see no use reporting that
playground rumpuS in the
grade to the new teacher, SO Just
settled 1t myself. I'll guarantee there
won't be no more trouble in that
quarter" And usually there wasn't.
The Wallach School has served as
proving ground, as it were, for many
young washington teachers who have
risen to positions of trust and respon-
sibility in the school system.
From 1864 to 1884 represents 70
years in school history, but SO wisely
and well was the Wallach School built
that it still serves the school system
of Washington.
In the same city boundary with the
Wallach School, the Towers School

erected, as did Eastern High School,

IN his term as mayor, for the arch1-
tectural, hygienic and pedigogic ar
rangements OF the Wallach School
were not only in advance Of their
time In America but the vanguard Of
better educational conditions in Wash
ington. For the first time 10 grades
of several schools were brought to-
gether in one building with the teach
ers in daily intercourse. Improved
methods of school discipline were the
natural evolution of this closer con-
tact, with broadening horizons and
professional outlook as an inevitable
concomitance.
Praised by Bostonian.
Supt. Philbrick of the Boston
School Board and City Coun-
Gil, while on Nationwide survey and
inspection of schools and school build
ings, formally reported that 1.-The Wal
ZACH School was in external archi-
lecture the most attractive school
visited, while the Franklin School,
then in process of building, promises
to be in size, plan, ETC., unsurpassed
in this country"
The Wallach School has had COM
paratively few principals since its erec-
ton, and each of them has been a
leader in the community, sharing
alike the confidence and respect of
children and parents. Notable among
them has been William McCatheran,
the first principal, who seems to have
worked out the problems of those
early days with tact and patience.
Miss Anne Duvall Beers, who died
q few years ago, was the first woman
to be made principal of Wallach,
headline event for women gen.
orally when the appointment was
made. A product of the normal
school. established in 1873, and a
leader among its coterie of brilliant
young teachers, she continued in the
capacity of building principal until
she was made the supervising princi-
pal of the fourth division, with head
quarters at the Jefferson School. Miss
Beers was the second woman ever to
be given position of administrative
and supervisory responsibility in the
school system. Her close friend, Miss
Flora Hendley, was the first woman to
be SO honored. Miss Hendley. now
resides at Stoneleigh Court and con-
tinues an active interest in civic
affairs. Noted for their vision, judg-
ment and influence among their fel-
low teachers, as well as for their ability
as organizers, these two women pio-
neers until their retirement were tre-
