With the first shock wave
passed, some school officials and
District Board of Education
members have settled down to
a searching examination of the
threat to the accreditatien Of
District Teachers College.
Specifically. there are six
conditions which must be met
by November 20, If the school
is to retain it's accredited status.
The ultimatum was handed
down by the Middle States AS
ISOLATION of Colleges and Sec
ondary Schools.
Some board members report
they are puzzled in that only
one of these conditions is di-
rectly concerned with a situa-
ton within the school. AL
other conditions involve the
board-even, perhaps. the Dis
trict Commissioners and the
Congress Of the United States.

TURNTABLE TALK
Discs Offer Music
By Contemporaries
By JAMES G. DEANE
star Record Critic

Records are gradually en-
bracing the best achieve
ments Of the best living
composers-with emphasis
on the gradually"
Two Of the most impressive
Vaughan williams compo-
sitions, for example. have
Just arrived on an LIP. These
are his "Serenade to Music"
set to words from "The
Merchant Of Venice" and the
choral song Toward the Un-
know Region" to verses from
Walt whitman's whispers
Of Heavenly Death"
The serenade, composed in
1888, is music Of the utmost
delicacy. The companion
work, dating from 1905. is
richly romantic and rather
Brahmsian in flavor. Both
pieces are filled with lyrical
beauty. Anyone who has not
heard them has missed some
of the most persuasive music
of this century.
Four soloists-Elsie Mori-
son, Marjorie Thomas, Dun
can Robertson and Trevor
Anthony-are heard in this
Angel recording of the sere-
made, instead Of the Is orig
inally specified. But the re-
duction was authorized by
the composer. Sir Malcolm
Sargent conducts lhe singers
and London Symphony in
clear, impressively recorded
performances. Nc texts are
supplied, unfortunately.
Also on the disc are the
overture to Vaughan Will
liams' suite of incidental
music to Aristophanes' 1.-THE
Wasps," a bit Of graphic
tonal painting, and the ia
milar fantasia on Green
sleeves"
Some significant vocal mu-
sic by Darius Milhaud is also
newly at hand. On an Angel
disc, Milhaud himself con-
ducts a collection of pieces
with Jaime Micheau as the
soloist. The music, all COM
posed since 1887, includes the
"Cantate Nuptiale," set to
words from the Song of
Songs; the -Four Songs Of
Ronsard," the -Four Ele-
ments," two Hrias from the
opera Bolivar" and six songs
completed in 1856 under
the heading Fountains and
Springs"
On a Decca disc, Igor
Markevitch leads a choir and
soloists in Milhaud's Les
Choephores," a work COM
pleted in 1919 which is based
on Greek mythology. Honeg-
gers fifth symphony is also
on the disc.
Milhaud's songs are varied,
lyrical and expressive, and
the orchestra accompani-
mentS are often highly in
ventive. Nine. Michaeu sings
prettily, and the recorded
sound is excellent. Angel has
thoughtfully provided full
texts and translations.

this request. But, as one school
official puts it: Can an accredit-
ing team concerned with one
school, order such a sweeping
change in the operation OF the
public school system?
The one condition dealing
exclusively with the college
concerns its two libraries-one
at the Miner building, and one
at the Wilson building. The
two libraries, says the accredi-
tation order, should be con-
solidated under one librarian.
Objectives Set Down
Back in 1856, an accrediting
team visited the college and set
down certain detectives the
school should meet before
March of this year when the
school was scheduled to be Of
ficially inspected. At that time,
the team said the two libraries
should be consolidated.
DR.. Walter E. Hager, retiring
president of the college, was
asked by The Star why the
two libraries were not merged.
He said the uncertain role"
of the future Of the college was
probably the chief reason. He
added that such a consolidation
would have cost $4,000 by con-
verting the auditorium of the
Wilson building.
At any rate, no strong plea
was made to the Board Of Edu-
cation for such a consolidation
though the schools accredi-
tation was threatened at that
time because Of the condition.
Nor was a chief librarian ap-
pointed.
Both libraries, incidentally,
were found by the accrediting
team to have a strong" staff
and to be sound" in reference
works. The team added: 1.-THE
college has an extraordinarily
good program of instruction in
use in the library"
! Threat to the Board
What irritates some board
members, then, is that the ac-
crediting team based its threat
on what the board has failed
to do, rather than the college
itself. The board is the chief
object Of criticism. 1t Is being
ordered to accomplish quickly a
number Of things it has al
ready tried to accomplishment
board members, together with
school officials, have often COM
planned of the lack of auton-
omy of a schol board operating
in the District of Columbia.
Another confusing point, Of
fered by one educational au-
thority, is whether the accred-
iting team actually found con-
ditions within the school such
that the threat to accredition
is warranted.
One way to measure a
schools effectiveness is to look
at its product. On graduates
of the school, the accrediting
team said:
THE number Of graduates
who are teaching in the District
Of Columbia school system or
elsewhere is substantial and
indicates that the college is
training its graduates to the
satisfaction of the local school
system. The percentage of grad
yates Of this college meeting
success in passing the District
of Columbia Teachers Exami-
nation for elementary and jun
ior high schools shows a sig
nificantly better record than
that of graduates Of other in
stitutions."
Still the threat remains.
This Wednesday, the full
school board comes to grips
with the situation. DR.. Hansen
has come up with a number OF
; proposals designed to remove
the threat and satisfy the &C
crediting agency.
. Whether the board will quick.
ly approve these proposals OF
probe the substance Of the
. threat is anybody's guess.

Pelly Proposes Ban on Import of Japanese Salmon

WASHINGTON, R - A House Committee heard a proposal Mon day for banning importation of Japanese canned salmon unless Japanese fishermen stay away from waters where Alaska spawned salmon gather.
 Rep. Thomas Pelly R-Wash) offered such amendment as a House Fisheries Subcommittee considered measures to protect Alaska-spawed red salmon.
 Testimony indicated eavy catches by Japanese are cutting down the number of red salmon and hurting the Alaskan fishing industry.
 Pelly's legislation would ban imports from any country whose citizens fish for salmon by gill; nets on the high seas at time and places where there are large quantities of immature salmon of North American origin.
 The Japanese have declined to go along with American con- servation measures to protect the Alaskan salmon, Pelly said.
 Delegate Bartlett O-AlaskO told the committee that Alaskan fishermen depend upon the sal mon they catch for their hard money and have been sorely hurt in the last few years by Japan csc catches.
