death.
In 1910, Mr.. Lyons bolted
the Democratic organization
and entered a slate of candi-
dates for Governor and United
States Senator in the presi-
dental election under the ban
ner Of Liberal Democrats. His
candidates polled enough votes
to allow the Republicans to
win.
In 194l, a Federal grand jury
convened to investigate the
1910 election. Mr.. Lyons was
called to tell where he got
funds to support his party. No
charges ever were lodged. He
then dropped out of politics
temporarily.
Mr.. Lyons was born in Will
mington. His father. who had
earned $40 a week as a mill
hand, died when the boy was 6
One Of eight children, he rose
through the precincts politi-
cally. He was named Whining
ton Democratic city chairman
in 1887. Meanwhile, he worked
for Du Pont and later moved
as a production boss to Ameri-
can Car and Foundry.
Mr.. Lyons left American Car
and Foundry to form his own
firm, Delaware Steel Fabricat-
ing Co., with an associate,
Sidney Laub. The initial capi-
talization was $4,000. When
Mr.. Lyons and Mr.. Laub sold
out in 1858 they each reported

Mr.. Lyons turned to invest
ments and also bought a string
of race horses. He then re-

Iof resistance to school author
ity retardation averages
about two years because of ac-
ademic disinterest has par
ents who themselves place lit
tie value on education and are
impatient with the child for
spending time in school rather
than in a wage-earning job.
Mr.. Perlo can give numerous
examples of what happens to
dropouts after leaving school
Because of stringent labor laws
here, they cannot, while under
l8 years, qualify for many jobs
AS unskilled workers, moreover
they find stiff competition fol-
available jobs from older, more
experienced people.
Those fortunate enough tc
get jobs, moreover, often do not
keep them. They fail to report
for work regularly; they are
caught stealing, or they simply
have no talent.
Il got a job for one husky
boy as a furniture mover" Mr.
Perlo says. But he was free
because he could not do a com.
petent job. He did not follow
directions"
Mr.. Perlo adds: People think
anyone at all can do a job like
that. But it's not true. These
kids need training"
Without a job, and without
prospects for getting one, the
dropout is very likely to turr
to crime. The delinquency rate
among dropouts is 10 times
higher than among high schoo
graduates.
Very often the youngstel
leaves school because he needs
money. Mr.. Perlo cites the
current case of one l7-year-
old boy who, he says, coulc
become a good hospital tech
nlclan. But he cannot start
training for such a job without
a high school diploma, or be-
fore he becomes 18 years OF
age.
What can I do?" Mr.. Perlc
asks. How can I convince
this boy to go back to school
when he doesn't have any
money!"
A possible solution in such
caseS-but not always a very
satisfactory one-is the armed
forces. AS Mr.. Perlo notes
its the easy way, to send him
to the service"
Pilot Program Sought
District school officials are
determined to come to grips
with the drop-out problem this
spring. They want to have some
new program, even if only a
pilot one, in effect by next fall
They know they will have tC
develop some practical course
Of study for potential dropouts
which will hold their interest
make them feel useful and pro-
ductive, get them a diploma
and, finally, get them a Job.
If we can give this type OF
youngster a chance to carr
a living" DR.. Hunton notes
"he will be less likely to commit
the yoke robbery"

William r. Marshall, 70, a

Born in Canada, he came to
Washington before World War

assistant superintendent for
junior and senior high schools,
circulated a memorandum to
principals asking for their sug-
gestions about establishing a
special program for potential
dropoutS.
4 He particularly asked them
to consider the relative impor-
tance of Mr.. Perlo's program;
the need for curriculum re-
vision; the development of a
broad work study program;
more extensive shop classes in
junior highs; changing the
promotion policy from junior
to senior high, and the need to
assimilate and help "culturally
deprived students who are new
to the city"
Mr KoOntZ himself has sug-
geSted a Work-study program.
Students would attend classes
for very basic instruction in
the three RS during the morn
ing; in the afternoon they
would get specific training for
filling such positions as maids,
service station attendants. Gus
todians and parking lot at
tendants.
/ Such an emphasis on Job
training would seem to run
counter to Supt. Carl F. Han
sens drive to emphasize aca-
demic subjects in all grades, at
all levels.
But, as DR.. HuntOn points
out, the potential dropout SIM
ply will not stay in school un-
less he is convinced that what
he is learning will be of prac-
tical value to him, and unless
he meets with some success in
his work.

BY ANDREW w. BINGHAM
star stan Writer


With confidence and opti-
mism, Hyman Perlo started an
important new program for
District schools last fall.
He was to take boys who
dropped out Of school before
graduation and help them in
one of two ways: by placing
them in jobs, or by convinc-
ing them to return to school.
Mr.. Perlo smiles these days
as he recalls his expectations
of just a few months ago. He
had fully intended to measure
his success in numbers: how
many youngsters were actually
helped through the program.
But it hasn't worked out that
way.
Answers Are Elusive
II used to think I knew all
the answers" Mr.. Perlo says
Now I don't think I know any
of them"
He considers his work-so
often frustrating - is made
worthwhile with each individ-
ual he is able, somehow, to help
Mr.. Perlo's experiences point
out the complexities of one OF
the toughest educational prob
lens facing District school off
cials-dropoutS.
Last year about 800 boys
dropped out of school during
the year; about 1,150 girls die
the same thing.
These youngsters, havine
passed their sixteenth birth
days. no longer were legally
required to attend school. The
largest number drifted away
from the tenth grade; the
smallest number. from the
twelfth.
