School Segregation
Blamed on Housinq
Negro Students
Nov 1874 Pct. of
DC. Enrolment
BY DAVID BREASTED
Star staff Writer

The school system of the
Nations Capital win have de
facto segregation as long as
housing barriers in the WASH
ington area against Negroes
remain.
That was Supt. Carl F. Han
sens conclusion yesterday after
looking over figures which
showed that the Districts en-
rollment. of 134,3T5 is 83.4 per
cent Negro, an increase of 1.9
per cent over last year.
The record enrolment was
up by almost 5000.
The decline in white enroll
ment in the last two years has
been about the same, but DR..
Hansen said he could see no
substantial showdown over pre-
vious years.
Building by building figures
Showed only a handful of
schools having anything re-
motely approaching a racial
balance.
Attributed to Housing
DR., Hansen said the situa-
ton is primarily a matter of
housing. 1--WE have a Negro
population remaining fairly re-
strlcted to the District boun-
dairy lines, while the white
population is. not restricted
which increases the amount of
de facto segregation.
Until Negroes get the same
flexibility as whites, you're 90.
ing to have consolidation" DR..
Hansen said.
Only four of l3I elementary
schools showed anything near
a racial balance, while three
others reported approximately
a 2-1 Negro-white ratio. There
were 20 all-Negro elementary
schools and two all-white
buildings.
Most of the remaining
schools had heavy Negro ma
jorities, often 80 per cent or
more.
One of % junior high schools
which had a 10 per cent white
enrolment last year dropped to
"a per cent this year.
OF II regular senior high
schools, only Anacostia, Ballou
and Coolidge approached the
$3.50 mark, but not closely.
Two high schools, Dunbar and
Spingarn were all-Negro.
The greatest single decline
in white enrolment occurred
at D. c. Teachers College, with
a total of 1.475 students. Last
years enrolment of 1914 was
24.5 per cent white, but this
years only 9.6 per cent. DR..
Hansen termed this "a phe-
nomenal shift"
The superintendent, viewing
that the increase in Negro en-
enrolment, emphasized that ut
is not right to assume that the
children we're getting are 60
ing to be harder to educate"
Expects Gains
He said that I'VE should be
showing the benefits of the last
eight years (since integration)
in better achievement. We've
got to expect that there is an
equalization process going on
here. Negroes ought to be show
ing gains at a rapid rate"
A summary of the enroll
ment figures and racial per-
centages at the various system
levels showed:
Elementary schools - 80,147.
2,414; 85.9 per cent Negro. The
Negro increase of IA per cent
was less than last year, but
DR.. Hansen said he doesn't
know what to make of it vet.
Junior highs - 28,640, UP
LIZA; 83.5 per cent Negro, an
increase of 3 per cent.
Senior highs - 1889, up

However, this morning Mr.
Smoot would not state his posi-
ton and indicated it might
change before the meeting to-
morrow.
William H. Moss, chairman
of the board of supervisors, said
today discussion between the
1.-TWO boards is beyond the stage
of personnel or personalities
and is now a matter of policy
Mr.. Moss said he would favor
topening Mondays meeting to
the public.
The construction question
was raised last spring by
Thomas G. Dodd, former di-
rector of school construction
who charged that the school
administration was accepting
substandard buildings from
contractors.
When the school board had
not answered the charges by
September. the supervisors
met jointly with the board ano
speeded an engineering study
and formation of a citizens
committee.
Acknowledged Mistake
Since then, the school board
in another meeting with the
supervisors, acknowledged il
erred in Judgment by not an
swering the charges immedi-
ately.
James Woodbridge, assistant
supervisor for construction, said
that the construction short
comings listed by Md. Dodd had
existed, However, Mr.. Wool
bridge said, school officials knew
of them at the time the build
ings involved were put up in
1860, and took corrective action
The citizens committee is
continuing its investigation of
the general state of the school
construction program. An en-
gineer hired by the school board
has reported that Mr.. Dodd's
charges were correct. The
engineer is now. advising the
citizens committee.

The fashion history of lace
is fascinating. Marie An
toinette was a great lace
lover. Empress Eugene was
given a lace dress that cost
roughly $4,000 and took SO
women working for 18
months to complete it. She
was a collector of all types of
handmade laces for during
her time machine-made sub
stitutes had started making
inroads on the art.
Lace and History
In 1.-The Story of Lace and
Embroidery" by David E.
Schwab, he notes Napoleon I,
after his marriage to Marie
Louise, is known to have Or
dered a complete set of bed
and pillow covers made of
luxurious Alencon lace, with
the Napolenonic cipher in the
form of a bee, woven into
each article. Chantilly was
reputed to be Napoleon's
favorite lace.
At one time the heaviest
concentration of workers
anywhere in Europe, Mr..
Schwab points out in his
book, were engaged in the
making of lace in the Can
ton of Appenzell in Switzer-
land around 1889. The IA
nous Schiffli machine was
first developed in Switzerland,
because of the widespread
demand to reproduce the
beauty of the handwork.
In the not too distant fu-
ture Ambassador Lindt says
he must face up to a very
important family decision.
Only one of his three
daughters will inherit a
beautiful lace dress once
owned by his mother. 1T
will be passed down." he says,
though up to now it has
been used as costume party
dress by them all and is in
the attic"
The exhibit, opening Sum-
day, is under the supervision
of Mr.. Thomas Beggs, Di-
rector of the National COL
lection of Fine Arts of The
Smithsonian Institution.
