D. C. SCHOOLS
Chas. Degges Quits
AS Board Aide

DR.. Frank w. Ballou, superin-
tendent of District public schools,
was reappointed to that post
yesterday at the bimonthly meet
ing of the Board Of Education.
With the exception Of Mrs. Mary
McNeill, retiring member, who re-
ported mot voting" the boards
decision was unanimous.
DIR. Ballou came to the District
public schools 10 years ago.
SECRETARY RESIGNS
Charles Degges, secretary to the
board, submitted his resignation,
effective Immediately. It was
accepted, and Mrs. Elise Watkins,
secretary to Mrs. Henry Grattan
Doyle, board president, was tenn
porarily appointed in Mr.. Degges'
place. The position pays $500
a year.
Degges, a former newspaper
man. said he wanted to return
to writing" His resignation has
been expected for some time.
The board, by a unanimous
vote, approved a bill recently in
troduced by Senator william H.
King Cd, of Utah, chairman Of
the Senate District Committee,
providing for payment of tuition
by nonresident students. Approx
mately 1000 would be affected.
OPPOSED BY COURT RULING
Should the bill be passed, it
would nullify a decision handed
down a year ago by the United
States District Court of Appeals
unfolding a ruling by Jusice Jen-
nings Bailey Of the United States
District Court, permitting non
resident children, whose parents
are employed in Washington, to
attend our local schools.
Justice Bailey'S ruling came out
of controversy between DR.. Bal.
lou and a Washington attorney
whose daughter, Lois Kemp, was
transferred from Virginia public
school to Gordon Junior High.
The Kemps, residents Of Clar-
endon, Va, for Is years. con-
tended that they were entitled to
send their children to District
schools because Mr.. Kemp is en-
ployed by the Federal Govern
ment.
OVERCROWDING CITED
The question had been a sore
spot for some time with school Of
ficials, who maintained the schools
are already overcroWded.
Despite their fears, however, the
Kemp decision did not add mate
rally to the nonresident enroll
ment.

Too Little Reasoning
GO that is cooperation That is the spirit OF
~ the man who is probably Roosevelt's most
Intimate adviser.
You can see why Congress and the great ma
jority of American citizens are so concerned
whenever the Executive attempts to force the
Government reorganization bill" upon the coun-
try. The Administration really wants no adj
vice. 1t wants to run things as it sees fit. and
with a high hand.
Unfortunately, we are all tending to get into
a similar psychological state. Too many OF us
have quit reasoning, and have made up our
minds to disregard evidence. AS we get more
unreasonable, we get more set. Finally, we do
extreme and unwise things.
One Of the worst features is the tendency to
regard everything old as bad, and everything
new as good. Change seems to become the only
virtue. This means throwing science and ex-
perience to the winds. It is essentially un
civilized.
People in that state of mind are adrift with
