SCHOOLS JAM LAID AT DOOR OF CONGRESS Financial and Legislative Neglect Charged in Re port of Supt. Ballou. LIST OF FAILURES COVERS 40 YEARS? Recommended Appropria tions Not Half Enough And Even Those Pared. \ Stripping away the maze of un certainties surrounding the Wash ington school problem, the third section . of Superintendent of | Schools Frank W. Ballou's annual report, made public yAterday. lays bare the financial and legislative neglect to which the schools have been subjected and points uncom promisingly to Congress as the sole agency responsible for the deplor able conditions. Two charges are outstanding Ui the superintendent's report. They are: 1. That Instead of lessening, con gestion in District schools is grow, ing worse each year; that because ; of physical needs which only Con gress can supply, the educational system is deteriorating. 2. That the need of the education- | al system is a common sense ad justment of income to the needs of I a growing city. ? Forty Ye?ri? ?f Failure*. For forty years, the report ; Dhows, Congress has dragged the ; Washington educational system ! through an annual controversy on ; appropriation. A.nd the result, the j report declares. Is "an accumula tlon of failures from year to year j to provide the additional facilities i for a errowfng ^ind progressve school j system." Since 191S. it is pointed out. the1 school system of Washington has resembled an educational back water. The annual demands of in creased enrollment. It Is charged, have been half-heartedly met with inadequate appropriation, while the accumulated needs have been al lowed to increase. This condition Is assigned as an explanation of the fact that school children In the National Capital are receiving approximately 60 per ! cent of the normal educational training which would be available if the achools were properly financed. *lu?t Keep Old Ituildlnfc*. "It is Impossible to abandon any i old buildings, no matter how anti quated or unserviceable they are." the report states. In the face of an enrollment necessitating 207 ad ditional classrooms, the superin i tendent charges Congress has pro vided only forty-eigtet. There is an acute need today for 159 class rooms for elementary schools I alone, it is stated. 1 The purposes for which these Continued on Pape Ttco.

The joint al'ied note, signed yesterday in Paris by Poincare, Curzon. and Ambassador Sforza representing Italy, follows: "The three allied governments beg the government of the great national assembly (at Angora, Turkey) to be so kind as to i inform them whether it is disposed to send without delay a rep resentative with plenipotentiary powers to a meeting to be held at Venice or elsewhere, to which Great Britain, France, Italy, Japan, Rumania, Jugo-Slavia and Greece will be invited, the meet ing to take place as soon as necessary arrangements can be made, its object being to negot:ate and conclude a final treaty of peace between Turkey, Greece and the a'lics. "The three allies seize this opportunity of declaring that they look with favor on the desire of Turkey to recover Thrace as far as Maritza and Adrianople, on condition that Turkey does not send during the peace negotiations troops into the zones wherein the allies have declared temporary neutrality. The governments willingly support the attribution of these frontiers to Turkey, it being understood that measures will be undertaken by common agreement in the treaty to safeguard interests of Turkey and neighboring states, and to demilitarize with a view to the main tenance of peace of certain zones to be determined, in order to secure; the peaceful and regular establishment of Turkish authority and fina'lv to insure effectively, tinder auspices of the league of nations, the liberty of the Dardanelles, the Sea of Marmora, and the Bosphorus as well as protection of racial and religious minori ties. "They are in agreement to renew the assurances given last March to effect that allied troops will be withdrawn from Con stantinople as soon as the treaty is effective. The three allies will use their influence to obtain, before opening of the conference, withdrawal of the Greek forces to a line to be fixed by the a'lied generals in agreement with the Turkish and Greek military au thorities. In return for this intervention, the Angora government | will undertake not to send, before the conference, troops into the neutral zones and not to cross the Straits or the Sea of Marmora. "In order to fix the line referred to above a meeting can be held immediately between Mustapha Kemal and allied generals at Mudania or Ismid. The allied governments are convinced they will be able to co-operate with Tnrkey as we 1 as with their allies in re-establishment f peace, toward which all civilized humanity looks forward."
