Nom Resident Pupils
In the District Schools,
Promises Of Early Start
On Water Front Improvement.

FREE tuition for nonresident
children in Washingtons pub
lie schools Is an old problem which
has again come to the front. Last
year the contest was in the court
to determine whether the legisla-
tion providing for the free educa-
ton Of non-residents in the WASH
ington schools was optional or man.
dAtory. The court held that the
law was mandatory and declined
to take into confederation the fail
ure Of Congress to provide BY ap-
preparation adequate facilities for
even taking care Of resident chill
dren.
The Commissioners are reported
to have taken up the matter fol-
lowing statements made BY the SUI
perintendent Of schools that nom
resident children, most Of whom
live In nearby Maryland and Vir-
ginia, are costing District taxpay-
ers about $25o,o00 = year to edu-
cate. Among the difficulties pre-
sented in the solution OF this prob
lem are that the chairman Of the
House Committee on the District of
Columbia Is Representative from
Maryland, and on both the House
and Senate committees there are
representatives from both Mary.
land and Virginia, but none from
the voteless and unrepresented Dis
trict Of Columbia.
1t = reported that the Commits
sioners have under consideration
two proposals for the solution OF
the problem. The first Is enact
ment Of legislation designed to pre-
vent all nonresident pupils from
attending the schools. The second.
that there be . substantial increase
IN the present nonresident tuition
fees. 1t would appear that further
legislation would be required to
make the second effective, for there
are a very few non residents pay-
ing any tuition. Unless the increase
OF the rate is accompanied by 4
requirement that tuition be re-
quired on all nonresident pupils it
appears that the situation would
not be ct all relieved.
There Is really little hope Of any
such legislation being enacted, be.
cause Of \ fear on the part OF some
representatives in Congress that
their own children might Be ex-
cluded from the District Of Colum-
bia schools or be required to nav
tuition. That same spirit was mani
fest during the last session when
the House considered the proposed
income tax for the District Of Co.
lunbia.
AS an interesting sidelight on
this question, it is understood that
where pupils living in one county
OF Maryland find 1t more conven-
lent to attend school in m ad-
joining county, the county in which
the pupil lives is required to pay
1 definite sum for tuition to the
county IN which the school is To-
Gated. OF course, it will be imme-
diately pointed out that the situa-
ton u entirely different ip the Dis
trict Of Columbia, but in civic circles
the chief difference to be noted be-
tween these two Cases y that the
Maryland counties are self -determ-
1ninE communities and the Dis
trict Of Columbia poasesses no
rights which anybody y required
to respect.

Promises Of Early Start
On Water Front Improvement.
REYOND question, the annual re-
gatta on the Potomac River
has made . substantial contribu.
ton toward the active agitation for
. realization OF the long delayed
improvement Of the Warrington
water front. This IL naturally q
Federal project, Is the property Is
Government owned and conse-
quently is to be paid for by the
United States. The District will
have exclusive use Of some OF the
facilities to be provided and will
therefore be required to bear their
cost-which Is between 100000
and 100000.
The work Of modernixink and
beautifying the water front and the
improvement Of the channel Is to be
spread over = course OF years and
the District will be permitted to
split its share into annual pay
ments. The first OF these payments
Is reported to have been approved
by the director OF the budget and
the appropriation of the required
amount by Congress. probably in
= deficiency appropriation bill, will
open up the way for 4 beginning Of
this long delayed improvement.
One can turn over the pages Of
The Star files OF so years ago and
read about the plans for the i'm
provement Of the Potomac River
and the water front, which was
lust about to begin" OF course,
there was 4 big improvement in
the reclamation Of the fiats and the
turning them into the beautiful
Potomac Park. There was some
what Of \ cleaning up of the old
wharf conditions after lengthy liti-
CATION. but when 1t came to getting
right down to 4 Identification OF
the water front in keeping with the
Nations Capital, it just never hap
pened.
In connection with this improve
ment there will be yacht and sail
ing vessel basins and other facilities
which will encourage recreation on
the water.
There has recently been q de-
mand In civic circles for provision
OF recreational facilities on the
water similar to those which are
now available on land.
