In Schools
Are Hit

Conditions at the Weightman
and Magruder schools. which
Fire Department officials have
condemned as unsafe, will have
to be corrected quickly If the
So crippled youngsters regularly
taught in those buildings are to
return to school at the term
opening in September.
This was apparent today fol.
lowing an announcement by
Jere ]. Crane, assistant super
intendent of schools, who said
he was not certain that the
schools could be ren9odeled to
meet fire department regulations,
In the event nothing along
that line can be done with the
properties, no other building is
available. Mrs. Henry Grattan
Doyle, president of the Board
of Education, declared.
Funds for the purchase of a
school site near children's hos
pital, included in the original
District budget estimate, were
stricken prior to passage of the
appropriation.
The same group which con.
demned the Weightman and
Magruder schools also recon-.
mended immediate installation
Of additional fire escapes at
eight others, and provisions for
further exits at two more.

teal examination ratings.
= Much troubles over ties" has
arisen in the past, particularly in
the large tests which attract thou
sands Of applicants. Frequently,
in a major quiz, final results would
find several hundred persons with
a mark of 81 As, for instance, and
selection of the ranking person was
not easy. Sometimes, an applicant
made a howl. Consequently, Off
Gals have approved list of rating
Examinations which they believe
will settle any situation.
Apportionment, OF course, settles
the majority of ties, but if any
remain the first to get preference
will be disabled veterans. Then
come ordinary veterans, after
which preference goes to those who
have taken an earlier examination
Of the same type-but this latter
provision applies only when an I'm

is placed on the actual time per

All Down the Line

II ties still remain, preference
will be given to the person who
finished his test in the quickest
time, next is a provision giving an
advantage to those with the best
mark in the examination subject
which carries the heaviest weight,
and If this doesn't solve tie
then the subjects with the two
heaviest weights are to be COM
puted.
1t Is believed these rules will I'M
tie the most tangled rating knots,
but the Commission has made sure
by going down the line and giving
further preference as follows:
Those whose application blanks
required no revision after filing;
preference according to date of
original filing of application; &C.
cording to hour of original filing
of application; accor ling to date
of jurat; finally, according to the
number on the application Gin
other words, those who request
their applications first).
