Women Voters
Probe Arlington
School Post
Appointment of
Dr.. Jormon
Is Questioned

Appointment of DR.. B. n. Jarman,
member of a special commission
studying Arlington County schools, =,
to a post created as the result of
the commissions findings was being .
investigated today by the Organ
lied Women Voters of Arlington
County.
DR.. Jarman, a professor of educa- ,
ton at George Washington Univer- :
sity, has been appointed director of
instruction Of Arlington County
schools. He was one of the six mem
bers OF special commission, headed
by Dean j. H. Fox, also of George
Washington University, which made
a detailed study of the county
school system and recommended
nine changes to be placed into
effect.
The study was instituted about
two years ago as the result OF action
taken by the Arlington County Civic
Federation, which heard charges
made against the county school ad.
ministration.
Impartiality Questioned
The study Of DR.. Jarmans 40.
pointment was launched at yester-
days meeting of the Organized
Women Voters when Mrs. Althea
Van BoSkirk reported on the ap-
pointment. She expressed surprise
at the move and declared she had
assumed the Fox commission study
was to have been impartial, but that
the appointment led her to wonder
whether this was the case.
Creation of the Office which DR..
Jarman now holds was the first of
nine recommendations made by the
Fox Commission. The recommends
ton declared:
THE employment of a director of
instruction to give full time to the
planning and supervision of the
entire program Of instruction. Since
supervisors are now employed in the
elementary schools, the chief super
Vlsory duties of the position should
concern the secondary schools"
The Civic Committee of the Or
ganlzed Women Voters is now study
ing the Fox Commission report. Fol-
lowing Mrs. Van Boskirk's an
nouncement, 1t was instructed to
take the appointment into consider
alton during its studies.
Retains University Post.
DR.. Jarman could not be reached
for comment today.
School Supt Fletcher Kemp Of
Arlington, declared that DR.. Jarman
was appointed ito the Office on last
October IS. at salary rate of 5000
annually. Ofiicials at George Wash
ington University said DR.. Jarman
is still associated with that insti-
tuition.
When asked for comment on the
situation, Mr.. Kemp said: He was
only one of six members Of the
commission which made the study.
The appointment was made by the
School Board on the basis of quail
fication only and was approved by
the State Department of Education.
The State pays two-thirds of his
salary"
Mr.. Kemp said that DR.. Jarmans
appointment did not come at a time
when the commission was studying
county schools. He pointed out that
the commission study was completed
shortly after the closing of schools
for the summer recess last June and
that, while the recommendation
and findings were not printed until
fall, the commission was having its
report transcribed in writing during
the summer months.

Pledge To The Flag-What 1t Means

1t has been discovered that part of the German
propaganda is dstort the meaning of certain words
such America" A former leader of the Nazi
Bund stood in Madison Square Garden not SO long
ago and proclaimed himself American, and there
hung back of him American flag and huge pic
ture Of George Washington. He took this way of
making 1t appear to real Americans that there was
something in common between the great, loyal father
of his country, the American flag and the Nazi Bund
mouthpiece. Some people were fooled by this ges-
ture, but they would not have been deceived had
they learned and fully understood what the pledge of
loyalty to the American flag means.
pledge allegiance to the flag Of the United States
OF America and to the Republic for which it stands
Nation, indivisble Git can't be broken up into
classes and which hate and

bat for al-one liberty and justice for all the

When we mean that, mean Americanism. The

may the word American. They mean liberty for
themselves, their group, their race their class-and
for others humiliation, injustice persecution, i'm

In short, to be true Americans must be true to
each other regardless of race, class or religion.
