3 New Junior Hiohs
Planned for '66 Needs

graders into high schools
largely affects the Northeast
and Northwest sections" Mr..
Koontz said. but the need for
junior highs elsewhere in the
city Is evident. BY 1866, we
win have 1000 more Junior high
students and we will be in a
desperate need for classrooms. "
When the shift plan was an
nounced, Mr.. Koontz empha-
sized that the move would be
temporary and considered only
an expediency.> But yesterday
he added that unless there is
an increase in the number of
new (junior high) schools in
the meantime, these temporary
adjustments will result in
overcrowded senior high schools
as well as overcrowded junior
high schools"
Some officials said there is
little doubt the shifts would
remain in effect at least two or
three years. Next fall, 400
ninth graders at Taft Junior
High will attend classes at Nc
Kinley High, 400 at Mcfarland
viii be at Roosevelt High, 300
at Banneker will be at Cardozo
High and 800 at Eliot will be
at Eastern High.
Over Capacity
Mr.. Koontz said Taft is now
IS per cent above capacity,
while Macfarland is SO per cent,
Banneker 80 per cent and Eliot
80 per cent over building
capacity.
Junior highs already In the
works include Backus, at South
Dakota avenue and Hamilton
street NE. which is under con-
struction; Evans Junior High,
which is in the planning stage,
and additions to existing Eliot
and Deal.
The three additional schools
mentioned for the first time
yesterday would be in the
Northeast, Northwest and
Southeast. Mr.. Koontz said.

Futher Gets Jail

A truck driver was sentenced
to six months in jail yesterday
after it was testified that he
said he spent Christmas present
money for a bond to keep him
out of Jail on a non-support
charge.
Hyattsville Police Court Judge
George j. O'Hare imposed the
sentence in the House Of Cor
rection on Vernon Duckworth,

failing to support his two
children.
His wife, residing with her
mother in Laurel. said she had
received no money from him
since November. Recently, she
said, Duckworth relayed a mes
sage through her brother that
the children would get no
Christmas presents because he
used the money for a bond.

walking the streets here while
your wife is getting welfare

Predicting "a desperate need"
by 1866 for more clasSrooms,
District school officials have
announced plans to add three
new junior high buildings to
their six-year construction pro-
gram.
The three new buildings
would come in addition to one
junior high school now under
construction, another one in
the planning stage and pro-
posed additions to two existing
schools. All these already are
included in the six-year pro-
gram.
The present situation already
has ledsto a plan, scheduled to
go into effect next fall, where
by 1,400 ninth graders in the
Northeast and the Northwest
sections Of the city will be
shifted to classrooms in high
schools.
Early Request
Detailed plans for the shifts,
announced some weeks ago,
were released yesterday at q
meeting Of the school board
committees.
John D. Koontz, assistant
superintendent in charge Of
junior and senior high schools,

add the three junior highs to
the long-range building plan.

that they probably will be re-

In Enrolment

The District school system
cannot look forward to a level
ing of of the city'S soaring
number Of school children until
at least 1870, School Supt. Carl
F. Hansen said today.
Pointing to a recent report
which said the number Of
Junior high school students
alone would increase by 5000
in 1866. the superintendent
said families from the South
the source of much Of the city's
school population-are still
coming to the District in
steady flow.
DR.. Hansen discussed the
difficulties in keeping UP with
increasing enrollments at his
weekly press conference.
There was one note of en-
couragement, however. John
M. Riecks, assistant superin-
tendent in charge Of buildings
and grounds, said enrollments
are getting larger every year
but at a slower rate than in
the last few years.
"The trend is slower" he ex-
planned, but we doubt If there
will be anything like a leveling-
off before 1870"
DR.. Hansen said that despite
recent census figures which
show the city's overall popu-
lation has decreased in the last
10 years, many families who
have lost their sources Of In
come in the South are still
moving to Washington and
other large cities in search OF
work. i

lilies as largely Negro, but that
appears to be the case. More
