Commission Initiates
Study Of Educational
Needs Through 1860

The National Commission on Chill
dren and Youth today was credited
with taking the first step leading
to a Nationwide study of school
building and teacher requirements
for the next decade.
One of the final acts at the COM
missions three day conference,
which ended yesterday in the Fed
eral Security Building, was to call
on the committee planning for next
years White House Conference on
Children to request each State for
census of school children and esti-
mates of educational needs through
1860.
In resolution submitted by Mrs.
r. c. F. Weagley of Hagerstown,
Md, who is a member of the Asso-
ciated Women of the American
Farm Bureau Federation, the COM
mission estimated that, by 1860,
there will be 100000 more children
in elementary schools and 100000
more in high schools than in 1947.
Increased enrollmentss in schools
require as many as 10000 addi-
tional teachers next year alone, the
resolution stated.
Information sought from the
States would include estimates of
present enrolment, prospective
numbers of school-age children each
year between 1850 and 1860, addi-
tional buildings and teachers re-
quired to assure good educational
opportunities" for the next decade
and, finally, what plans are States
making to meet the problem.
The White House Conference on
Children has been held every 10
years since the administration of
President Theodore Roosevelt.

Golden Gloves Stars
In D. T.. AAU Battles
Al Turner'S Tonight

Several Golden Gloves stars are
making bids for more ring honors
tonight at Turner's Arena where
81 bouts mark the quarter finals
of the 1949 District of Columbia
AAU boxing championships.
Foremost of the Glovers Is
Leon Daughtry, Liberty A. c. ace
who has won the local Golden
Gloves welterweight crown two
consecutive years. He faces Hal
Shaw, erstwhile North Carolina
winner.
Considered one of Washington's
best amateurs, Daughtry has been
something of a hard luck fighter
the past year. In the area
Olympic trials, he won with ease
and represented Washington in
the regional trials in Philadelphia
last May. He dropped his semiflnal
on a disputed decision. In an
exhibition at Uline's last June
Daughtry pounded out a unani-
nous verdict over Hank Herring
Navy welterWeight champion who
later reached the finals of the
Olympics in London.
Recently Daughtry lost in the
Eastern Golden Gloves semifinals
on split decision. For two sea-
sons now he has seen national
honors elude him by the merest
hair. Winning the national
championship in Boston next
month would cancel his past
misfortune.
John Shields, recent winner of
the novice light-heavyweight
crown, is another Golden Glover
seeking new laurels. The PIC No.
2 better takes on Phil Taylor of
Merrick in q senior 175-pound
quarterfinal.
Sam Kelsey, Liberty A. c. light
weight who was senior 126-pound
runnerup this year in the Gloves,
continues his title drive against
Paddy Bullock, q capable per-
former who also has ambitions OF
competing in the Nationals.
