For Two Northeast
Elementary Schools

The Federal Works Agency has
allocated 374l.000 from Lanham
Act funds to construct two ele-
mentary schools in the overcrowded
Northeast and Southeast sections OF
the city, the Board Of Education
has announced.
News Of the granting of $436, 900
to construct the Parkside School at
AnAcostia avenue and Grant street
NE. and $3o5, 200 to construct a
school At Stanton road and Ala
bama avenue Sc. both for colored
students, was given to the board
1T its meeting yesterday by Robert
L. Haycock, superintendent OF
schools. A request is still pending
before the board for an elementary
school at Fifty-third and Blaine
streets NE.
The board took under considera-
ton a bill to change the present
teachers retirement act, which has
been in effect since 1926 and pro-
vides for uniform retirement pay
on the basis of only $4,000 a year
salary. The proposed bill would
provide for saving S per cent OF
each teachers salary. 1t also would
permit teachers to retire at IS in
stead Of the present 62-year limit.
Compulsory retirement age would
semain at 10 years of age.
The District Commissioners now
are studying 4 bill providing for
revision Of teachers salaries. Chang
ing the retirement provisions in
accordance with the proposed new
salary rates is therefore sensible. A.
w. Heinmiller, school budget ofi1cer,
pointed out.
Most of the board meeting was
devoted to discussion OF steps being
taken to meet the wartime increase
of school population in the Anacos-
tia and Northeast Washington areas.
DR.. Garnet C. Wilkinson, first as
sistant superintendent in charge of
colored schools, emphasized that
complete fairness is being shown
colored students in providing school
facilities. More than 81, 1885,, 900 is re-
quested for land and buildings for
colored students In the 1946 budget
estimates, he said, with only 1885,
