FIGHT FORECAST
ON SCHOOL CURB
Bal|ou Predicts Congress-
men Nearby Would Oppose
Cut in Free Tuition.

Belief that Maryland and Virginia
Congressman from nearby districts
would oppose any legislation looking
toward banning students from ad-
joining areas receiving free tuition
in the District was expressed yester-
day by Superintendent of Schools
Frank W. Ballou.
Supt Ballou's feeling was made
known in a letter to the District
Commissioners supplying requested in
formation relating to the cost to the
District of providing school facilities
for nonresident pupils. He said:
Il am of the opinion that there
is no moral justification for educating
nonresident pupils largely out OF taxes
contributed by the residents of the
District. In general citizens associa-
tions take that view.
"On the other hand, am sure that
the Representative and Senators from
Maryland and Virginia particularly
are likely to present a united front in
opposing any legislation which would
deprive the residents Of their States
OF the free school privileges in Wash
ington which they now enjoy under
congressional legislation"
The school head suggested lesisia-
ton formulated for suggestion to Con-
gress would have a greater chance
OF success if it took the form of a
more comprehensive program OF
school relief
The complete exclusion of non.
resident pupils" said Supt. Ballou.
would still make necessary other
measures of providing adequate relief"
Nonresident pupils would have paid
Sl94,567.08 for their schooling dur
ing the school year 1867, said Supt.
BalloH If they had been charged for
their tuition. He said the estimate
was based on a study made by the
school systems Office of finance and
was based on an enrolment of 2.495
nonresident pupils.
The communication was in response
to suggestion of the Commissioners
made at recent conference between
Supt. Ballou and the city heads.

Bledsoe found the collecting
