Fowler Hits Voteless Leagues Data
At Panel Discussion On Schools

Lively debate about the mode OF
operation Of the District school sys-
tenn marked the panel discussion
on this subject sponsored yesterday
by the Voteless District League of
Women Voters following luncheon
at the YWCA.
Walter L. Fowler, District budget
officer, shook the leagues handbook
on local schools and exclaimed:
This pamphlet doesn't even
really show how the school system
operates. You can't learn anything
from this booklet about the opera
tion of the District school system.
1t doesn't come to any real con-
clusions. If you were to inquire into
the situation, you would find that
the Board of Education works very
harmoniously with the District
Commissioners and that we CO.
operate in what they ask for.
THE booklet doesn't give the
whole picture. We need no new
basic code. The present system
works harmoniously and effectively"
Various members of the club de-
manded that Mr.. Fowler show
"patience" with their organizations
endeavor and pointed out that the
book was the result of two years
diligent research and that any ex-
isting harmony between the Board
of Education and the District Com
missioners was not an issue in the
problem.
Mrs. Henry Grattan Doyle, presi-
dent of the Board of Education,
spoke in behalf of good features in
the present system.
"A new basic code would be an
excellent thing" she said. but we
who work and struggle with all the
difficulties in the present setuup
would regret repeal Of all existing
legislation inasmuch as there is al
ready embodied in the system much
excellent legislation which has been
fought over on the field of battle
since 1906. Any attempt at new
legislation would have to be so very
carefully done"
Mrs. Doyle did correct the booklet

dent, presided and introduced the
speaker.

by pointing out that the Board Of
Education and not the Commis-
sioners selects school sites. Having
explained that the general procedure
has been improved by reducing
budgetary appropriation items from
40 to 9, she said. A lump sum given
to the board by the Commissioners
would be very helpful. But we do
have the cooperation Of the Com
missioners and other bodies with
which We work"
While the league recommends
that riders to congressional appro-
priation bills Should be prohibited"
Mrs. Doyle pointed out that riders
do control legislative procedure, but
as you have heard (from Senator
Thomas of Utah) riders are the
Evening star., 1942-11-11

prerogatives Of Congress. She de-
plored the rider, which forhids chill
dren under years Of age to attend
public schools In the District, there
by eliminating the possibility Of
maintaining public nursery schools
in school buildings.
"This provision is plaguing us now
in wartime" she pointed out, 'be-
cause public schools cannot be used
for much-needed nursery schools
for mothers in war work until this
rider is repealed. will say, how
ever, that riders have come from
the House and not from the Senate. !"
Senator Ebert D. Thomas OF Utah
said that prohibiting Congress from
making any amendments or riders
it utterly impossible. You are up
against real thing when you try
to curb Congress. It wouldn't even
be constitutional" he added.
Lloyd E. Blauch, who has prepared
report on Public Education in the
District of Columbia" pointed out
that the suggested new basic code
to govern the school system would
be all-inclusive and would salvage
all good legislation now on the
books"
Mrs. Francis M. Walters, jr, de-
clared that, I'm the present system
there are many places for buck
passing. We think the School Board
should have complete autonomy
The schools are different from the
police or fire departments, the
schools belong to us and to our
children"
Senator Thomas said:
II think Congress Is in agreement
with all that has been said. I think
that if you have democracy func-
tioning in the District, you will get
what you want. If the District peo-
pie show they are interested in their
schools, I believe that Congress
would be apt to respond to your de-
mands. I think the trouble in
Washington is that although WASH
ington is the Capital of the country,
it has not yet accomplished a civic
esprit de corps. If you get that
civic pride working, there is no
doubt that Congress will retreat"
At the speakers table were Mrs.
Willard E. Givens, Howard A. Daw-
son. Mrs. ROLAND D. Severy, Donald
c. Stone, Mrs. Rensis Likert, Hubert
