Funds Great Need
of CHy's Schools,
Or. Corning Says

The critical educational situation
in Washington is being caused by
| insufficient funds, the growing and
shifting population and the building
restrictions of the war years, DR..
Hobart M. Corning, superintendent
of the District public schools,
declared yesterday.
Speaking before a luncheon meet
ing of the ivics-education section
of the Twentieth Century Club at
the YWCA, DR.! Corning said it was
not the fault of the District Com
missioners or of the Board OF Edu-
cation, as they are not permitted to
raise money-which is the most vital
need-for educational purposes.
School funds are appropriated by
Congress as a part OF the District
budget, he explained.
ut is up to the people themselves
to put their shoulders behind it and
do something about the situation"
he added.
Citing an example of the crowded
conditions DR.. Corning said, There
are 1000 school children in the Ma
tons Capital today who are de-
prived of full days education"
The proportion of children to the
number of teachers is so overbal-
anced, he explained, that instead OF
being able to go to school full day,
some of them have to 60 in the
morning while the remainder at
tend classes in the afternoon.
There are 400 teachers in Wash
ington who are working in schools
on, substandard requirements be-
cause of the lack of teachers, DR..
Corning pointed out, and the pro-
fession is losing teachers by the
thousands. Low salaries have pro-
duced this crisis and nothing is
being done to replace the teachers
who have left their profession" he
said.
The trouble with education is that
it has "irlstitutionitis," DR.. Corning
stated, "and the biggest difficulty
about any institution is that once 1t
Is sanctioned by society, it remains
permanent, so to speak"
| Education the country over is in
very bad state, he remarked, and
there are more than 100000 Hit
crates in the United States in spite
of the compulsory education re-
quirements and available schools.
1.-The financing of schools is an
example of institutional inertia he
stated. The financing was arranged
many years ago and the same pro-
cedure is still being followed.
In stressing the necessity for a
great increase in operational funds,
DR.. Corning pointed out conditions
have changed so rapidly and voca-
tional fitness is so important, that
it is impossible to run the schools
in the manner they were run during
the time of the parents of the pres
ent school child Vocational oppor-
tunities have increased and should
be made available to the child OF
today, he concluded.
