Zoninq Brush-Off?

A public hearing was held
by the Board of Zoning Ad-
justment March IA to con-
slider certain appeals filed
under the Zoning Act. In the
case of a large apartment
on Massachusetts avenue, it
was evident beyond doubt that
the minds of the board men,
bers were fully made up in
favor of the request before the
hearing was held. True, both
sides were given opportunity
to present their arguments
and views. The proponents
we're asked a few leading
questions, all designed to help
their request for the variance
sought. The testimony of OPP
ponents was interrupted and
they were badgered by ques-
lions for the sole purpose Of
confusing them and prevent
ing them from presenting
their arguments.
Several people present on
other cases remarked later
that the adjustment board
had reached a conclusion on
the matter prior to the hear
ing and that the hearing was
mere mockery. It was all too
plain.
Individual property owners
in Washington are confronted
with situations such as this
when they appear before Dis
trict officials. They are no.
titled of a hearing and re-
quested to give their views.
However, it is evident that
the Board of Zoning Adjust
ment is more interested in
having the good will of build
ers and SPECTATORS than in
protecting the interests of in
dividual homeowners and tax
payers.
If the commission form of
government is to be retained
in Washington. public-spirited
citizens must work for estab-
lishment Of impartial and fair
boards. G. r. Sellers.

More Good Teachers

read the glib talk OF so
many salaries" being trans
ferred from junior and senior
high schools to elementary
schools, and I am sick at
heart to see the teaching pro-
fession fallen so low. Those
salaries" are teachers, and
teachers trained in certain
specialties. A masters degree
is a requirement for a senior
high school teacher. Is a
teacher with masters degree
in history or science or Ian
guages put to teaching an ele-
mentary class. or is he merely
fired? What happens to these
Salaries? Imagine what
would happen in any manu-
featuring plant if management
attempted to shuttle skilled
labor so summarily!
The answer to the current
school mess in Washington
isn't just more teachers. 1t is
more good teachers. The city
is in a bad competitive posi-
ton for outstanding personal
tiles. 1t is surrounded by three
school districts which pay only
a little less and tend to treat
teachers as people rather than
cattle. Government and private
industry here offer many in
teresting and remunerative jobs
which do not include the
minor vexations of breathing
the unique atmosphere of
school rooms and scaling down
ones vocabulary and mental
processes for the benefit of
ones small charges.
Teachers as a class, like
charity, seem to bear all
things, endure all things. This
quiet devotion to the calling
is most praiseworthy in the
individual. But I wonder if
this meekness really benefits
the teaching profession, the
community, the child? A good
teacher should have spirit;
should be a leader; should be
the yeast in the dough. AS
long as teachers stand aside,
allow themselves to be pawns
in the hands of those who
make up the budgets, they are
going to be treated as pawns.
PTA groups, citizens groups
are the spokesman for our
schools. These laymen are
working most energetically,
speaking out for needed re-
forms. I have yet to hear of
District teachers, as a group,
presenting an opinion or be-
ing asked for one.
Perhaps if more emphasis
were placed upon the rights,
the authority, the personality
of the teacher, the present
mediocrity of the District
schools might be more quickly
overcome! Ex-Teacher.

Lucy Case
Virginian.

Dorothy Thompson's COL
umn, Miss Lucy and Public
Opinion" is founded on a
false premise-that the Lucy
case demonstrates that inte-
grafton cannot be enforced in
the South. presumably Ala
bama, because the majority
opposes indignation.
We do not know if the ma
jority opposes indignation. We
know that lawless mob took
the law into their hands and
that little effort was made to
enforce the law. 1t is conjec-
tural if this mob represented
the majority. Many who favor
indignation are afraid to be
articulate until they feel that
they will not be ridiculed. Be-
cause of this, the timid do not
tell others what they think.
Peter denied Christ when it
was expedient.
Most Americans will respect
the law, and most of them who
do not will obey if they know
that the law will be enforced.
This is true in Alabama and
New York. When authority
stops equivocating with law
lessness, indignation will oc-
cur Contrary to Miss Thomp-
cons thesis, law does mold
public opinion.

The jumping rabbit showed
up for the first time Just as the
tulips were coming up.
He smelled 'em, evidently.
1t is amazing, what noses
rabbits have, but, of course,
they must, to survive.
A monkey of a squirrel made
a dive at him, and then it hap
pened.
High into the air the rabbit
hoped, at least four feet, let
ting the squirrel slide beneath
him.
No sooner had he landed,
than the fooled squirrel tried
it again.
Once more he playfully ran
at the rabbit, a fine specimen,
much lighter than they usually
run.
Y x X
Again the rabbit used those
long hind legs to good effect.
Just as the squirrel reached
him, he sprang into the air,
leaving at least five feet of air
beneath him.
This performance was re-
peated twice more.
BY this time, the squirrel
must have decided he had
enough, and went back to
searching in the grass for a
nut that wasn't there.
The rabbit settled down to
munching grass, greening very
satisfactorily, thank you.
4 X II X
Where he had been all this
time, he did not say.
This was the first wild bun
ny to be seen in the yard since
last fall.
Where do they go, in winter?
To somebody else's yard, no
doubt.
One winter, and one only,
we had a large powerful fellow.
It slept alongside the garage,
on the west side.
The watcher wondered why
he did not take the east side,
where it would be warmer.
We tried to feed him, by
placing carrots and lettuce in
his nest, but he never touched
them.
Alfalfa pellets, highly re-
garded by rabbits, the pet store
man told us, also failed to win
him.
None of these foods was
eaten, and they we're taken
in after a time. Probably the
smell of humanity about them
was too much for an honest
rabbit.

capture by force. Thus, the
hosting Of the church pen

appliances like television sets,

Federal Aid to Education

The premise of the argument is that there exists
wide divergence the ability of various states sup
port adequate schools greater uniformity of educa-
tional opportunity would the nations interests,
has been urged, and apparently only federal action
could bring this about.
The United States Office of Education buttre.sed
this contention last year with study of expenditures
per classroom in the various states for the school year
l94950 This showed that while New York State that
year spent S7627 per classroom unit for teachers sal
aries and other expenses, Mississippi averaged 81 ASH
Nine states averaged below 5000 while IL ranged
above $4,000.
If this were merely reflection of local willing
o, unwilngness to devote money to education the
sponsibiy might be regarded local. but figures in
dictate that per capita personal income by regions has
great deal to do with actual ability to support good
schools.
This is illustrated in a tabulation brought down to
date by the Clio and reprinted from the labor organza
tion's Economic Outlook before the recent AFL-CIO
merger This table lists data by states such items
average teacher salary, per cent of school buildings
rated unsafctory, per cent of state devoted
education, and income per child of school age. Two
columns which particularly significant headed,
Current expense per pupil 195455," and per cent of
income spent on schools, 1950-51." The first may be
taken as some criterion of the educational result
