School Board Extends
Nurse Training #
Hospitals Pay Share
BOARD OF EDUCATION denies ex-
ira pay for high school teachers.
(Story in sports section.)

The Board of Education today
authorized continuation of pro-
gram for education of student
nurses at Wilson Teachers College
for the next school year with the
understanding that the three hos
pitals using the program would pay
the salaries of the two instructors.
School officials had been consid-
ering closing this program because
of lack of space at the college, par
ticularly in the laboratories, for the
regular students studying to be
teachers. School Supt. Hobart M.
Corning told the board that Emer-
gency, Garfield and Sibley Hospitals
had agreed to the proposal that they
pay the institutions salaries.
The board instructed DR.. Corning
to conduct a thorough study, how
ever, to determine whether the pro-
gram should be continued in the
next school year.
Mrs. Doyle Reelected.
Meeting for the last time until
the fall term, the School Board
reelected Mrs. Henry Grattan
Doyle president for the 14th con-
secutive one-year term. C. Melvin
Sharpe was named vice president
1t will be his second term.
In other actions the board:
Requested Congress to grant
school teachers the same salary
increases which were given to FED
eral Government employees this year
Failure to give teachers pay raise
will further hamper efforts to get
new teachers. DR.. Corning stated
Asked the District Commission
ers to reconsider request Tor
sick leave plan for teachers and re-
ouested that a conference between
School Board members and the city
heads be held to discuss the mat
ter. At present school teachers must
pay with their own money for sub
stitutes when they are i'll and a
plan to remedy this situation was
omitted from the school budget this
wear by the Commissioners because
of lack of funds.
Granted the request of the Recre-
alton Department for use OF the
Dunbar High School swimming poo
with the understanding that the
permission be revocable on a days
notice. This was necessary because
a contract has been let for work on
the pool which should begin within
a month and the School Board did
not want this work delayed.
Granted the request of the Board
of Public Welfare for the use of
the Truesdell, Mott, Harrison and
Carbery Schools as child Gay care
centers for the fiscal year ending
June 30, l949.
Voted to join the United Com
munity Services Of Washington and
named Mrs. Doyle and DIR. Corning
as representatives of the School
Board.
Voted to reopen efforts to correct
a number of inequ!ties which exist in
the Salary Act of 1947 and were
not taken care of by Congress this
mast session

ing a heart attack suffered just
after he arrived here last week
to make a personal appearance
with his son, Alan. Famed as a
collector of American folk songs
the 8O-year old man spent 80
years of his life hunting for the
ballads of America.
Numbered among his discov-
cries are such songs as Home
on the Range, Goodby, Old Paint,
The Dying Cowboy and oh
Bury Me on the Lone Prairie,
Home on the Range was picked
up from a drunken saloonkeeper
in San Antonio, Tex.
His search of the folk songs
of America took him and his old
fashioned Edison recording mach
inc into every walk Of life =
iails, cotton fields, and where
ever people sang ballads. When
'Leadbelly'' was sent to Louisia-
ma State prison for shooting
jealous rival who had stabbed
him in the back, he was visited
by John Lomax and his son. Af--
ter listening to his songs and re-
cording them, they arraged for his
pardon and brought him north to
Philadelphia where he soon be-
came the rage.
Lomax has contributed largely
to the folklore section of the lib
rary of congress. Among the best
of the 10000 ballads he discover
ed was Trails End.

Liberty"

Flint, Mich. An outstanding
attack against the voting systems
of Georgia and South Carolina
was made here last week by ex-
Georgia Gov. Ellis Arnall. Speak
ing before meeting in Flint
Town hall, he declared:
while we are speaking for
Justice to small nations, let us
speak out for justice to all groups

Pointing to the voting system In
South Carolina, and particularly
TO former Sec. of State James

a former secretary of state was
pleading in UN assembly for the
right of the Bulgars to vote, one
third of the people in his own
state could not vote.
I'VE of the south know our
own falts and are trying to cor
rect them" he asserted, and crit
licizel the north for tolerating dis
graceful slums, suffering and pre-
judice.
