GoI|inger Psychiotric Patient
Spends 2 Years on Latest Visit

ticular case is reported to be en-
tirely satisfactory to both the pa
tient, who is said to be opposed to
transfer to any other institution
and to Gallinger authorities, who
have trained her to carry out mes
senger duties an employ her for
much the same work as regular hos
pital orderlies.
One Gallinger doctor, not asso-
ciated with the psychiatric depart
ment, said the patient is permitted
to roam the hospital grounds so
freely on her messenger duties that
she is indistinguishable from the
paid attendants.
Now "a years old, she was ad-
mitted to the District Training
School in 1888. Two years later, she
was transferred to Gallinger after
failing to adjust" herself to the
Laurel institution.
That was the first of several visits
to Gallinger. After each visit she
was returned to the District Train
ing School, only to create disturb
ances in her effort to return to GAL
linger, it is reported. Her last trip
to the training school was from
January II to February II, 1916
DR.. Gilbert describes the patient
as unsuitable for transfer to St.
Elizabeths. District mental cases
are not referred to that institution
unless they are insane, rather than
deficient.

A Gallinger Hospital psychiatric
patient, who has been there so long
that new employees sometimes mis-
take her for an attendant, this week
began the third year in the latest
of series of Gallinger visits" dat
ing back to 1885.
Doctors say her mental condition
falls into an unusual category
suited neither to the District Train
ing School for the feeble minded
nor to st. Elizabeths Hospital for
the insane.
The case is "the only one of its
kind I have encountered in II
years" according to DR.. Joseph L.
Gilbert, chief Gallinger psychia-
trist
1t is a curious exception to the
general practice at the Gallinger
psychiatric department, regarded by

NEA Cites Inequality
Among States in Plea
For u. 5. School Aid

The urgent need of Federal aid
for education was stressed in sur
vey of public school expenditures
released today by the National Edu
cation Association, which stressd the
enormous inequality in education
in the country.
DR.. John K. Norton, one of the
survey leaders, estimated it would
cost about $600,000,O00 a year to
bring the pupil expenditures in
all States up to at least $99, the
current midpoint for the Nation as
whole. Now pending in Congress
are bills which would give $500 900,
900 in Federal aid to needy school
districts.
The survey did not give the situ-
alton in the District. Dr. Norton
said the study was confined only to
States.
The District would have been well
up among the leaders in per-pupil
expenditure. however, based on the
current budget as compared to the
enrolment here.
Declares Crisis Still Severe.
THE educational crisis is still ex-
ceedingly severe DR.. Norton said.
The survey summed up the sit
uation this way:
In the United States as whole,
and in more than three-fourths
of the States, school boards had
less purchasing power per pupil in
1947 than they had in 1910.
While per-pupil expenditure, on
the average. increased 66 per cent
from 1910 to 1947, indexes of eco
nomic change show that they
should have. gone up 86 per cent to
hold their own in the economic mar
ket School boards are 20 per cent
less able to buy now than in 1910.
Still at Poverty Levels.
The low expenditure school sys-
TENS of 1910 are still operating at
poverty levels of support. although
they made relatively large percent
age increases per pupil. A large
percentage increase is still very lit
tie Meanwhile, the high expendi-
ture districts were not able in 1947
to purchase the flrst-rate education
that made them educational leaders
in 1940
Enormous inequalities in expendi-
ture per pupil continue to exist,
both within individual States and
among the States. Millions of chill
dren in 1947 were in school systems
with such meager funds that their
schooling was both brief and in
ferior.
Leaders were New York with a
per-pupil expenditure of S234 in
1947, New Jersey, $3.50, and Cali
fornia. SLIT. Mississippi was at the
bottom with $25.
Maryland spent S1O1 per pupil in
1947 and Virginia $50.

ton for the Districts 91,103 public

that educational concerts by the
National Symphony be incorporated
in the public school curriculum and
that they be extended so as to reach
every school child frequently.
They will announce this proposal
to school and civic leaders sum-
moned by the National Symphony
board to consider an expansion OF
the orchestra's educational concert
schedule. Mrs. Henry Grattar
Doyle, president of the Board OF
Education, will be chairman of the

Majority TO Miss Concerts.
Only about 10000 of Washing
tons public school children will be
reached by the symphony's six
students concerts this season, the
music administrators estimate.
Few children will hear more than
one concert and only one concert
as they see it, has negligible educa-
tional effect. This is the situation
they wish to correct.
The program they advocate
would include these features:
Separate concert series for diff
ferent age levels-a weekly concert
for all elementary school pupils, a
monthly concert for junior high
schools and a separate monthly
concert for senior high schools and
the two teachers colleges.
All concerts to be offered as a part
