School Come Down
BY JOHN McKELWAY

In 1885, the late Stephen
Kramer, the then assistant
superintendent of District
schools, complained to a re-
porter that city noises were
interfering" with education.
Take Jefferson Junior
High School," he said. There
is so much noise around that
school that classes have to
be stopped several times a
day, until the noise from
trains and trucks has
quieted,"
About tn e same tim e ,
Mrs. Marion Wade Doyle,
the then president of the
Board of Education, an
nounced during a meeting of
the board: Jefferson Junior
High School is in such con-
dition that it ought to be put
in a museum"
Her remark followed a re-
quest by the Smithsonian In
stitution for the schools

clocks. The board approved
the request.

S. Smith, a teacher at JET

School Chief Blasts
Scholarship Setup
National Merit
Program Called
'MoIehiII,' Unfair
BY ANDREW BINGHAM
Star Staff Writer

The operation of one of the
Nations most publicized COL
lege scholarship programs was
sharply criticized today by
District School Supt. Carl F.
Hansen.
He called the Nnational Merit
Scholarship program "a mole
hill operation" that has turned
out to be an excellent way to
sell tests.
The superintendent's chief
irritation is with the way high
school seniors are selected as
semiflnalistS in the compete
ton for the scholarships, pro-
vided largely by private busi-
ness concerns.
They are chosen from each
State on a quota system after
a preliminary test. The Dis
trict this year was allotted only
q semif1naliSts awards. Con-
sequently, some students here
were eliminated although they
had test scores which would
have qualified them in other
areas.
unfair Comparison"
DR.. Hansen noted that the
cutoff point here was three
points higher than that for
one of our neighboring States"
and eight points higher than
that for the other.
ut CREATES an unfair COM
pariSon between school sys-
TENS" said the superintendent.
who favorS the adoption of a
fixed cutoff point, with all stu
dents scoring above it qualify
ing as semifinalists.
He was reminded that Ar
lington's Westinghouse High
School has been cited by a
national magazine as one of
the top schools in the country
because its high yearly average
of students who qualify as
semif1nalists.
This example, he noted, H.
lustrates part of the source
of our dissatisfaction"
''MOlehill Operation"
Selection as a semi i-finalist
is a great. help for a student
applying to enter college, DR..
Hansen noted, even if he does
not actually win an award.
The preliminary tests. each
year taken by about 100000
students throughout the coun-
try, are prepared by a private
company which sells them to
the corporation administering
the program, he said.
The superintendent con-
trasted the large amount of
publicity given the program
with the relatively small num-
ber of scholarships actually
awarded. This prompted his
comment about "a molehill op-
Grafton.
"The objectives and method
of operation of this program
need a great deal of analysis,
he said.

The proposed step up in the
delegations Of Montgomery,
Prince Georges, Baltimore and
Anne Arundel would come after
the 1860 census. Other counties
could gain House seats when
they reach certain population
limits. The total House men,
bership would be confined tc
141. 1t is now 1913.
Formula for House
The State constitution pro-
vides the following House for
mula, with present membership
totals frozen in 1850:
Two seats for counties with
$4,000 population or less.
Three for counties with 49,
001 to $4,000; four with 28,00l
to 100000; five with 40,O01 tc
$4,000, and six with more than
IS, 900.
Under the commissions pro-
poSal the House would be Or
ganized this way:
Each county would have at
least two seats and Baltimore
City would retain its SO.
Three seats would be per-
mitted any county which has
two seats now but whose popu-
lation reaches $4,000 in any
future 10-year census up to
1880.
Four seats in counties with
populations of $4,000. five with
100000, six with 100000 and
seven with 100000.
Each 100000 additional popu-
lation would mean one more
seat until a county reached the
individual maximum of 10.

Port Boosters
Blast. Potomac
Silt C|oggiing
Bourd of Trude
Tourists Condemn
Shallow Channels
BY JOHN w. STEPP
Star Stafi Writer

NORFOLK, Va. Oct. 3d.
The Potomac Rivers mud
clogged navigation channel was
blasted yesterday by an official
of the Washington Board of
Trade.
1t was only a verbal explosion
designed to clear some of the
muck from the river bottom be-
tween Chesapeake Bay and the
Alexandria Washington head of
tidewater.
But coming from the head of
a local delegation touring the
Expansion harbor facilities of
the Norfolk area, the complaint
was bound to echo around the
tidewater country of Maryland,
Virginia and the District of Co.
lumbia.
In particular, Frank H. Col
Inns, chairman of the boards
River and Harbor Committee,
was objecting to the fact that
the Potomac navigation chan
mel is as much as 4 feet shall
lower in parts than its Con-
gress-authorized 24-foot depth.
Deepening Endorsed
Beyond that, Mr.. Collins was
indorsing widespread Washing
ton area efforts to get the au-
thorized channel depth in
creased to 35 feet and the width
extended to 300 feet from the
present 200-foot authorization.
He asserted, in the course of
yesterdays Norfolk Harbor
tour. he could see no reason"
why the Potomac channel has
been allowed to be Silted up to
the point where some ships
must travel light over the
shoals below Washington, or
not come up at all.
"Yet here in Norfolk Harbor
up the James and Elizabeth
Rivers the authorized depth is
not only deeper than ours. it is
maintained at that depth" Mr..
Collins said.
The James River channel
ranges from 200 to 300 feet
in width at a 25-foot depth
from the mouth of the James
in Norfolk Harbor to within 4
miles downstream from Rich
mond, Va.
Port Revival Seen
The Army Engineer Corps,
which is responsible for navi-
gable streams, has recommend
ed the channel be deepened by
10 feet and widened by so feet
over much of the length of
the James River to Richmond.
The recommendation for
larger channel dimensions is
based on the belief that greater
economic benefits will be real
lied in that Virginia area.
Business interests of the Wash
lngton- alexandria area seek
similar channel expansion on
the Potomac to revive port IA
cilities.
More than a score of rep
reSentatives of the Washing
ton Board of Trade, the Po-
tomac River Port Association
and the Alexandria Chamber
of Commerce toured Norfolk
Harbor by tugboat yesterday.
The delegation was ferried
there the day before by the
destroyer escort Taussig, which
had been berthed in Washing
ton the week before to COM
memorate Navy Day.
