200 Return 10 School
As Boycott Is Ended;
Parents Warn Board

The parents boycott of the Browne
Junior High School annexes, Blow
and Webb Schools, ended today as
about 200 children who have been
out of classes since December 3 re-
turned to school.
But the boycott may be resumed
unless the Board of Education stops
the shifting among the three schools
which was the immediate cause of
the strike" according to Gardner
L. Bishop, one of the leaders OF the
protesting parents.
The boycott began shortly after
the Board of Education transferred
Blow and Webb Elementary Schools
from white to colored pupils in an
effort to relieve crowded conditions
at the Browne School. Under the
plan, many of the children spent
part of the day at Browne and the
other half at one of the annexes.
New Plan to Go Into Effect.
This shifting of classes ended
today when the Board of Education
put into effect a plan whereby
Blow, Webb, Merritt and Thomas
Schools will be used as "self-con-
tanned" junior high school units for
children in the Browne area.
School Supt. Hobart M. Corning
said some elementary classes at the
Merritt School had been placed on
part-time schedule pending their
transfer into the new Richardson
Elementary School later this week
The new school, located at Fifty
third and Blaine strets NE, was in
spected by Board of Education men,
bers this morning to consider
acceptance of the building.
Board Building Committee men,
bers present did not accept the
school Immediately. but called fol
poll of the full board as some ex-
pressed the feeling that perhaps
too much work remained to be done
to get ready for the children.
While board members were in
specting the school, furniture was
being moved in and workmen were
completing various jobs in an effort
to have the building ready for &C.
Ecupancy within the next day or so
Lockers Not Installed.
The $502,220 building contains
is classrooms, combination GYM
nasium assembly hall, playrooms
and facilities for turning it into
a major recreation center. Although
the building probably will be &C
cepted and occupied this week. 8
good deal of minor work remains
to be done.
Eleven classes now at Merritt
will be transferred to the new
school, thus making Merritt avail
able for the Junior high school
unit"
With the students back in school
parents of the Browne pupils are
depending on court suits to settle
their differences with the Board Of
Education. The group Of. striking
parents have filed suit in District
Court asking that the school board
and school officials be enjoinec
from furnishing unequal facilities
and in addition have asked fol
$4,000 damages. Another group
the Parent Teacher Association
also had filed a suit along the same
lines.
Mr.. Bishops group has called a
meeting for 8 pm. Wednesday al
the Jones Memorial Church, Forty
fourth street and Benning road NE.
to discuss further plans in theil
fight. Representative Powell, Demo
crat, of New York is scheduled tt
