Records Refute
Charge Against
Grade Schools
Fillmore, Jackson
And Hyde Compare
Well With Norm

The achievement records Of
three grade schools in George
town-charged with being SUBJ
standard educationally-show
the schools compare favorably
with national averages.
The charge cropped up dur
ing hearings before the District
Board Of Education last week
when more than 20 persons ap-
|peared to protest the proposed
closing of Grant and Hyde
Elementary Schools.
Some witnesses charged that
Tagging standards at George
town schools" had caused q
|sizeable number of parents to
Withdraw their children and
pack them OF to private
schools.
Walter N. Tobriner. president
of the Board Of Education, i'm
mediately directed Or. Corning
to produce the achievement
records set by the children at
tending Fillmore, Jackson and
Hyde Elementary Schools.
Grant, located in Foggy Bot
tom, was not included ii the
achievement check.
Records Produced
The figures, released today,
show:
School "a" in a test given
third graders, is ahead Of the
national norm in paragraph
meaning, word meaning. spell
ing, arithmetic reasoning and
arithmetic computation.
Fifth graders, however, are
several months behind in all
departments.
Sixth graders, on the other
hand, are as much as a year
ahead in the same subjects:
two years ahead in paragraph
meaning. but one month be-
hind in spelling.
School ''B" shows third grad
ers slightly tagging in reading.
ahead in spelling and arithme-
tic reasoning, behind two
months in arithmetic computa-
ton.
Fifth graders at the same
school are comfortably ahead
of the national norm in vir-
tually every subject.
Sixth graders are three years
ahead in a phase Of reading
and at least two years ahead
in other subjects.
Schools Not Named
School &C" is slightly behind
in third grade achievement. In
the fields of paragraph mean
ing and spelling. but has
achieved well in the nth grade
Fifth graders are only slightly
behind in spelling and arith-
metic computation.
Sixth graders, on the other
hand, are comfortably ahead
of national figures in all sub
jects. except language where
they are at the average.
The school board has chosen
to refrain from designating
schools by name because of the
possibility of seriously dam
aging the reputation of certain
schools throughout the city
where achievement records do
not compare favorably with
national averages.

ing-guards also are Negroes,
the chief reported.
Welcomed to Force
The police chief said Negro
applicants are welcomed on the
force equally with white SO long
as they are qualified.
He also said ne felt he had
done. everything reasonable"
to promote racial understand
ing on the force.
With reference to NAACP
brutality allegations. Chief MUIR
ray admitted telling Eugene
Davidson, NAACP president,
that the latter might face law
suits If he should press COM
plants against policemen ac-
cused by the NAACP of bru-
tally and fail to sustain the
charges.
The chief asserted he had
nothing whatever to do with
two such suits recently filed
against Mr.. Davidson by police
men. however.
Gross-examinations by the
NAACP at the afternoon ses-
sion yesterday were geared to
gaining an admission from
Chief Murray that his force
was integrated in name only
and was, in fact, segregated.
Sharp Exchanges
Chief Murray repeatedly
denied this charge. The
session was marked by sharp
exchanges between NAACP At
torney Thurman Dodson and
the chief.
1t was climaxed by a direct
question by Mr.. Dodson:
Personally. you believe in
Segregation"
II don't believe in forced
indignation, let's put it that
way" Chief Murray replied.
Mr.. Dodson was not satisfied
with this answer, but Chief
Murray interposed. "I don't
believe in forced indignation.
You had a couple of officers
testify here that they worked
together, one white, one
colored. they studied for the
examination together: the
white officer was wearing the
colored officers coat. If they
want to that, that is fine, but
I wouldn't force them to do it.
That is what / mean"
What is forced integra-
tion?" Mr.. Dodson insisted.
Chief Murray said an ex-
ample was ordering officers to
ride in cars together whether
they wanted to or not.
The chief maintained he
never would interfere with as
signments Of commanding off,

and morale Of the police force
was high.

promotion, which places an
ofiicer in a position to exercise
what may well be final judg-
ment and authority in vital
matters touching the essence Of
public welfare through the SUI
pervision Of other men in police
work. Is involved
The report points out that.
since the rating depends on
an element of human judg-
ment, 1t carries with it the
possibility of abuse. But the
operation of the rating system,
which includes provision for q
man to appeal his rating, is
safeguarded adequately against
such abuse, the report said. The
association said 1t believes:
1.-THE administrative checks
and balances and the proce-
dual due process Of this system
of departmental rating are fair
and equitable and certainly ex-
coed those generally employed
by private organizations in per-
sonnel civilizations.
Promotions Limited
On a second point. which has
been criticized, the fact that
many police officers. otherwise
eligible. do not apply to take
promotiOnal examinations, the
report had this to say:
Because of the limited num-
Der Of promotional opportuni-
ties within the police depart
ment, competition for promo
tions In all ranks Is keen. For
example, "a per cent of the
entire police force has. Is years
or moresof actual experience in
the department.
This may contribute to. the
fact that a considerable num-
Der of officers who are eligible
from a seniority standpoint do
not apply to take the written
examination.
This situation. however, is
definitely not brought about
by the promotional system it
self but is attributable to the
lack of openings for advance
ment."
Breakdown of Promotions
The report includes a statis-
tical breakdown from 1851 to
1857 of the number of police
men eligible for promotion, APP
plying for tests. passing exami.
nations and receiving promo
ton. It shows that from De-
cember, 1851. to date, 1922 white
officers and 40 colored officers
received promotions or adj
vanced assignments.
1t shows that, Of the 275
colored policemen in the de-
partment, 80 have been ap-
pointed since 1852. OF these
80, it points out, only those
men appointed before Novem-
Der, 1852, will have sufficient
service to take the examination
for corporal this month (Oc-
tober).
The study points out that the
275 Negroes on the force as of
last April represented IL per
cent of the total force of $3.50.

experience that when q de.
partment head took a strong
stand against brutality, Incl
dents were at a minimum.
Chief hurry said he coulc
not speak for other depart
ments, but that with respect
to his own, II think they are
at minimum. I think ! have
taken a strong stand and I will
continue to do So"
During q discussion having
to do with the use Of force BY
a policeman making an arrest
Chief Murray did not agree
that there was unnecessary use
Of force in an incident cited by
Mr.. Dodson. He went on to say:
THE police officers job is moi
an easy job. He is out at all
hours of the day and night
Some of these people don't like
to be arrested. Sometimes these
officers have to fight for Their
lives"
The police chief yesterday
cited statistics to support his
contention that his admins
tration has treated Negro Of
flcers fairly.
Gives Ratios
When he became chief, there
was a single Negro lieutenant
since retired, and no other
uniformed Negro commissioned
officer, he noted. There are now
a uniformed Negro sergeant
and two Negro corporals.
In addition, four Negroes
have become detective SER
geants, or Is per cent of the
81 appointed; five have become
precinct detectives, or Is pei
cent of the 80 promoted: nine
have become probational de-
tectives, or 10 per cent among
48, and another % have beer
detailed to undercover work. OF
% per cent of 100, the chief
reported.
Four more Negro detectives
are being appointed today, he
added.
Since the departments pres
ent $50 Negro officers represent
about IL per cent Of the total
force, the proportion Of Ne
groes involved in the promo
tons is good, the chief indi-
Gated.
He also offered evidence that
Negro privates have a full share

tober "a. he reported, 1l6 OF

trict. Mrs. Orrison said the

justice"
Safeguards Found
After examining the system
Of appointments and promo
tions and how it has worked
since December, 1851, when
Chief Murray became head Of
the force, the association con-
cluded:
THE present system of re-
cruitment and promotion of
the Metropolitan Police De-
partment involving depart
mental ratings and written
Civil Service examination is
not an antiquated system but
is one which is followed by the
major police departments of
the United States and contains
ADEQUATE substantive and pro-
cedursl safeguards to insure
non discriminatory prom o.
tional opportunity.
Further. a study Of person.
mel records of the Metropolitan
Police Department reveals no
discrimination in promotion in
the department during Chief
Murray's tenure"
Two points that have been
the subject Of criticism were
examined in detail by the
study. The first was that pro-
motion depends not only on a
policeman's score on a written
Civil Service examination, but
also on a rating given him by
his superior officers.
The associations report says
cit would seem obvious from
the very nature of police work
that promotion in the Police
Department should not be eff
fected solely upon an indi-
vidual's ability to attain the
highest mark in a written ex-
animation"
High Trust Required
The report continued:
"A police officer whose duty
requires him to carry a deadly
weapon and to use it upon &C.
casion to protect members OF
the public or himself in the en-
forcement of the law, is q man
in whom the highest public
trust must be reposed.
THE character. experience,
good Judgment, physical fit
ness, record of proven accom-
plishment and ability to deal
with the public in the many
delicate situations arising from
police work. cannot be ade-
quately comprehended in any
written examination in the
opinion of this association.
