ID. Z. A. Holds
Annual Fall
Meeting Sat.

1AS eLll1l0CLl 1dlA lIlOCGiIiS I'll LIlC
Dickinson Education Association
was held at Dickinson Memorial
High School last Friday night and
Saturday. The meeting C o e d
about mid-afternoon Saturday aft
er having taken very definite &C
ton toward an improved school
system and methods and proceed
ures to be followed in the future.
On Friday evening Attorney at
Law, Moss Plunket of Roanoke
City, delivered the principal ad.
dress. In addition to being a prac,
ticing attorney Mr.. Plunket is
member of the Roanoke city
school board and is at present
chairman of the Virginia Trustees
Association. Mr.. Plunkett is the
outstanding layman in the state of
Virginia waging fight for the
Virginia Three Point Educational
Program. The three point pro
gram as stressed by Mr. Plunkett
is to be laid before the Virginia
Assembly at its winter meeting
and calls for increased teacher
pay, with minimum of $3.50 sal
airy for teachers from state
sources. free textbooks for all
school children, and a sound re-
tirement system for teachers.
The speaker from Roanoke
spoke of the equalization of edu-
cational opportunity for all school
children of Virginia, emphasizing
the fact that rich Roanoke Coun-
ty and other rich cities and dis
tricts of Virginia should help bear
the cost of education of the school
children of Virginia in counties
and communities less fortunate in
matters of financial support for
schools. He reiterated repeatedly
that Dickinson County was not
able to support from local reve-
nue. the best of schools to which
the children of the county were
entitled. This could be done only
by the state helping with the pay
ment of teachers salaries, thereby
releasing the county revenue for
capital outlay and transportation.
Saturday mornings session was
consumed with reports of panel
discussions dealing with school fl
nance, professional improvement,
measuring the outcomes of in
struction, rating of schools and
teachers, etc. These reports will
be mimeographed and distributed
to teachers and laymen through
out the county.
Saturday afternoons e ION
was presided over by Allen E.
Stanley, President of the Dicken-
son Educational Association. Re-
ports and recommendation from
the standing committees were dis
cussed and acted upon.
One resolution reported for con-
sideration of the group dealt with
the recent action of the Cumber-
land Bank and Trust Company in
deducting the amount of ten dol
lars from the salary payments of
the various teachers throughout

Dickenson County herald. [volume] (Clintwood, Va.) 1939-195?, 1939-09-28

The war in Europe has already
caused employment to pick up
slightly in Dickinson County. It
is said that several men are being
hired at the Standard Banner
C o a / Corporation operation at
Wakenva. A large number of men
were released from employment
at that place on March 16, when
Joy Leaders" were installed.
Very few of these men are being
re-employed. Native citizens of
that community say that Negroes
are being imported from Ken
lucky and West Virginia to work.
Dickenson County herald. [volume] (Clintwood, Va.) 1939-195?, 1939-09-28

The men released in March
have drawn all the Rocking
Chair money to which they were
entitled this year and are now
without any income. These men
are all experienced miners, with
out blot on their work records.
No explanation is given why Ne.
groes are being brought in to take
their places.

School System Retarded
BY Drastic Budget Slashes.

~ AoSSsS A&s<A8SW ShS04&V0s
The January News Letter, pub
lshed by the Voteless District
Of Columbia League Of Women
Voters, carries interesting infor-
nation regarding the appearance
OF representatives Of the Depart
ment Of Government and Educa-
cation before the Bureau Of the
Budget In support Of the public
school items. These general prin-
ciples were emphasized:
II. Reductions made by the
Bureau Of the Budget are too
drastic and are becoming in
creastngly burdensome and detri-
mental to an adequate main
tenance and normal growth of
the District schools. In 1887 70
per cent Of the estimate only was
allowed by the bureau. It was
further reduced by Congress.
=. The ratio of the District
school expenditures to set gov
ernmental expenditures Is stead
lily decreasing. Only 279 per cent
was allowed to schools In 1898.
One-third Of total expenditures
should be uniformly allowed to
schools.
3. The amount expended for
schools Is not increasing at the
same rate as other expenditures.
=. In comparison Of 10 cities
with population Of 100000 and
over the following facts are
shown: (a) In the matter Of gen.
eral control, instruction, fixed
charges, costs in Washington are
slightly lower than average. (b)
In operation and general main
tenance costs the average for the
District Is IL per cent of the
whole as against 90 per cent
average.
Is. The ratio between enroll
ment and expenditures is not q
proper one. From 1928 to 1898
enrolment has increased 80 per
cent. Expenditures for the same
period have increased z per cent"
It is suggested by current news
that the leagues department
might consider Another factor
and that is the 1882 nonresident
pupils enrolled In the District
schools. Last year there were only

Fight for Anacostia
School 10 Be Taken
To Congress
RondIe Highlands Group
Unmoved by Loss Of
Project in Budget

The problem presented by over
crowding in the Anacostia Senior
Junior High School is expected to
be solved by the fall of 1910 with the
construction OF new $400. 900 junior
high school, according to Adelbert
w. Lee, president of the Randle
Highlands Citizens Association.
The Board Of Education esti-
mated the cost of the school would
approximate $400, 900 and the boards
request was deleted from the Dis
trict budget by the Commission
ers. The Randle Highlands president
said, however, he felt that continued
efforts with the members Of the
Senate and House Appropriations
Committees would terminate in the
appropriation Of funds for the build
ing.
Aided by PIT A. Group.
Working with members Of the
Anacostia Parent-Teacher Associa-
ton the Randle Highlands School
Committee has protested the over.
crowding in the Anacostia Senior
Junior High School on many occa-
sions. 1t is reported that over 1,5oG
pupils attend classes in the school,
which was built to accommodate
1850 persons. A staggered shift is
now employed at the school to COM
bat congestion; the staggered shift
entails elimination of study classes
and overcrowding of classrooms.
Both the Anacostia Senior High
School and Anacostia Junior High
School are the only institutions of
higher learning in the trans-Ana-
costa River section of Washington.
No other combination Of senior and
junior high schools In the same
building now exists in the District.
I'VE hope to have condemnation
proceedings completed by the end
OF the present session of Con.
gress," said Mr.. Lee.
There are eight parcels of land
In the proposed site, which is abut-
ted by Seventeenth and Eighteenth
streets Sc. and Fairlawn avenue
and @ street Sc. The cost of pur-
chasing this land for q site will
probably exceed $4,000.
Construction in Fall Possible.
IF we succeed in getting the item
returned to the District budget this
session, the money would become
available by July /, 1899. This would
allow construction to begin In the
fall Of the year. In that event
we might reasonably expect the
building to be completed and ready
for use In the fall of 1940."
The proposed new school would
absorb all the junior high school
students; the present building would
be reserved for the senior students.
The building would be built to
accommodate 1900 to 1,400 students
and would be designed as extensible
for additions.
Mr.. Lee, who Is also vice presi-
dent Of the Anacostia Parent
Teacher group, heads the School
Committee of that organization as
sisted by j. Lewis Gelbman and E.
]. Reed. The Randle Highlands
School Committee is headed by H.
L. Stebbin and includes G. E. Pray
and A. H. Bacas.
Representatives of both groups
will appear before Representative
Ross Cillins' House Subcommittee
on District Appropriations, in the
near future In an attempt to push
the project through.

Tho verdict Of the organise.
tions is that the new chairman
OF the Senate Appropriations
District Subcommittee, Senator
Overton, Is on the right track
and there is faith that he Will
arrive 1T . fair solution Of the
problem. There looms up In
this connection the question as
to just what will be the attitude
Of Representative. Ross Collins,
Democrat, Of Mississippi, chair
man Of the House subcommittee
regarding the Overton proposal.
It Is believed that II these two
chairmen from neighboring
States can get together on .
sound and, fair formula which
may be applied annually to the
District budget 1t will usher
in an era Of good will between
the Congress and the District
which will be mutually advan-
tagous.
