PROPOSAL,

A woman's voluntary repayment OF
money she had received while on d.
rect relief In the District. reported by
The S.ar last week, brought to light
a plan, presented to Marvin H. McIn-
tyre, secretary to the President, which
would encourage similar repayments
throughout the country.
In letter, written to Mcintyre sew
eral months ago, J. Roy Thorn pson,
secretary to former Senator T. P. Gore,
now a practicing attorney in the Dis
trict, proposed the Government, press
and the public in general encourage
voluntary reimbursement of funds re-
ceived by needy individuals so they
would have the consciousness Of
being square with the world" feeling
Miss Margaret Buttars willingly ex-
pressed to The Star when interviewed
last week.
An individual forced during the de-
preston to accept handouts from the
Government and charity organiza-
tions, would no longer have the de-
bilitating knowledge that he had been
a charity case. but rather that he had
needed aid, had received assistance,
and now that he no longer needs this
assistance, he is permitted to repay
his benefactor," Thompson wrote

uAte Of the Columbia University School
OF Architecture; possessed OF wide
practical experience in business and
professional fields before coming to
position which he is the first to oc-
cupy. Crane himself is the well-spring
OF this spirit and its chief inspiration
and motivation.
This spirit radiates throughout our
school system and to the custodial
force Of both white and colored en-
ployes. Included among this number
are engineers, assistant engineers, en-
gineer custodians, matrons, electri-
clans, gardeners, watchmea and
laborers. All appointments to such
positions are made by the Board Of
Education. There are at present on
nle for possible vacancies, none Of
which exist at the present time, $500
applications, almost three times as
many as the custodial positions them
selves. Many Of these employees are
high school graduates.
Each custodial employe, under pres
ent regulations receives 26 days an
nual leave during the year and is
entitled to a half day each Saturday,
so the matter Of allottjng vacations
and of arranging details from other
schools to f1ll in such temporary va
cancles Is no small one in itself,
Vacation But a Dream.
Crane himself. except for week end
respites, has allocated himself but one
vacation during the years that he has
been assistant superintendent, in
charge OF the business affairs Of our
school system because there lust
hasn't seemed to be an appropriate
time for placing his various respon-
sibllltles upon the shoulders of his
associate assistant superintendents.
Since the Summer vacation time
isn't your slack time. when do things
slow down." he was asked. "Prac-
tically never" was Cranes almost in
slant reply. In the Spring and in
the Fall after we have swung into
step and fairly caught up with our
selves as to the ALLEGATION of sup
plies OF all kinds, there is the school

not only brings heating and ventilation
problems Of all kinds and varieties,
but those connected with cleaning off
the snow, If the fall is a heavy one.
Our school custodian force never
shares the enthusiasm of its youthful
constituency for snowstorm.. Our
problem is to have fall of snow, no
matter how heavily it lies, cleaned off
Of all our sidewalks and the various
entrances and exits to our school
plants before 8:45 in the morning,
when the first classes are admitted.

The Navy, desiring to encourage
enlisted personnel for aviation pilot

one year to 30.
Capt Chester W. Nimitz, acting
chief of the Bureau Of Navigation, in
a circular letter to all ships and sta
tions, said selections for future classes

ness September 20.
BY JESSIE FAINT EVANS.

| LII AN ~ hINSs
The ringing of the September school
bell is Washingtons paramount inter-
est at this season, taking precedence
over all other local ones and even
pushing the national scene for atten-
ton. In Jere J. Crane, first assistant
superintendent in charge of business
affairs in the vast public school sys-
tenn, is vested the responsibility for
having the public school plants ready
for their school population, white and
colored in anticipation of this sea-
sonal event of events.
The enormity of the task from a
| cleanup standpoint alone, swept over
the writer one afternoon this last
week as she faced Crane across his
desk piled high with blue prints in
his Office on the third floor of the
Franklin Administration Building
Thirteenth and K streets. With a
vivid conception of the problems that
present themselves as you attempt to
get one modest domicile into the de-
sired state of Fall orderliness prior to
sending the children to school, we
tried unsuccessfully to visualize how
one would attack the problem of hav-
ing in readiness for this same occasion,
the l80 school plants In the District
of Columbia. They are scattered, too.
over 48 square miles, since many of
the newer buildings are erected at the
very boundaries of the District of Co.
lumbia.
Cranes custodial force of $50 per-
sons will have scrubbed every single
floor in each of these buildings and
washed each window before school
opens on Monday, September 20.
Every heating plant, too, will have
been re-conditioned and inspected by
boiler inspector from the District
Building. General repairs will like
wise have been made to the walls and
roofs of buildings upon a pro rata
budget basis and program worked out
in cooperation with the District of
Columbia repair shop.
Replacement an item.
There also will have been a general
cheCk-up on repair and replacement
as we'll as the necessary purchase of
furniture and equipment in all class
rooms, gymnasiums, auditorlums lab
oratories, libraries, cooking and man.
ual training shops and lavatories in
the schools
Not only does the purchase of all
the text books used in the system rest
with Cranes Office but it is also re-
sponsible for ordering all school sup
plies from paper, chalk, erasers and
ink to soap, scrub buckets and mops,
lawn mowers, rubber hose and garden
tools. Writing paper and paper towels
are purchased by the ton, pencils by
the car load, along with chalk and
soap, lawn mowers by the dozen and
rubber hose by the mile. Every year
$4,000 worth of paper towels is used
in the schools of Washington. in con-
trast to the city Of New York. which
purchases neither soap nor towels for
its school wards
AS first assistant superintendent of
business affairs, Crane also contracts
for all food and milk used in the
schools for the crippled and the tu-
bercular, as he does for the bus trans
portation of crippled children from
their homes to both the white and
colored schools.

Have National Reputation.
With the Woodrow Wilson High
School the grounds of Roosevelt share
honors in being among the most at
tractively handicapped school plants
in the United States, Crane said.
Because Uncle Sam holds the purse
strings and his congressional appro-
priations are never available until the
beginning of the fiscal year on July
l, Summer vacations simply do not
exist for Crane or his office staff. In
fact. overtime, nearly every working
day and sometimes far into the night,
almost has to be the emergency order
OF procedure from the time that the
school funds are allocated for use until
the schools open, usually on the third
Monday in September. After the speci-
flcations and requirements for bids on
purchases are sent out on especially
prepared forms. the situation is still
further clouded by the fact that nearly
all OF the firms contracting to supply
them require from 80 to 120 days for
the fulflllment of their contracts. So
there is always a nip and tuck race
for time against the o'clock bell of
that opening school day, with appar-
emily no way Of solving the problem.
This condition exists" Crane said,
in no other school system throughout
the United States except among the
Indian schools on the various Indian
reservations, since they, like ourselves,
are the wards Of Uncle Sam. Else
where it is possible because Of differ
ent methods of appropriating and al
locating funds, to plan more ideally
by ordering school supplies six months
in advance so that you have a mar
gin OF safety when the inevitable emer-
gencies arise and are nearly always
able to meet approximately so per
cent OF scheduled deliveries.
When Crane was asked whether
his budget included any extras for
the influx Of pupils expected because
children. Of persons who earn their
living in Washington may attend its
schools without tuition, he shook his
head, smiling, and said: 1--WE are never
permitted to exceed our appropriations
for any purpose whatsoever without
direct legislation from Congress"
Co-ordinated Hurry.
In Cranes office there is everv-
where evident just now an intensive
spirit OF driving toward their great
objective, having l8O school plants
ready for opening days expected army
OF nearly 100000 pupils. There is also
to be glimpsed an orderly execution Of
co-ordinated, carefully planned work,
set up from skilled, practical view

means best adapted for meeting them

contracted to render this service. since

Purchased Through U. S. Unit.
An act Of Congress provides that all
school supplies and equipment shall
be purchased through the Procure
ment Division of the Federal Gov
ernment unless this bureau is unable
to meet the specific requirements nec-
essary in filling the order
In addition to the custodial care
of all school buildings, and the pur-
chase of their supplies and equip
ment, the Office of the assistant su-
perintendent has jurisdiction over the
various additions to them. At the
present time these include the COM
pletion of the top floor of the Shep-
herd School, Fourteenth and Kalmia
road, which is expected to be ready
by February l. and additions to the
Paul Junior High at Eighth and Ogle-
thorpe streets. the Alice Deal Junior
High at Thirty fourth and Daven-

with its double gymnasium in the
Southeast section, the Lafayette
School, Broad Branch and Lafayette
