KRAMER IS NAMED
AS BALLOU’S AIDE
Central High Principal Ap
pointed Assistant Superin
tendent of Schools.
Stephen E. Kramer, principal of
Central High School since October I,
1923, and former assistant superin
tendent of schools, was called back
to the Franklin School by the Board
<>f Education yesterday afternoon to
be the first assistant superintendent
of schools —one of the three new ad
ministrative positions created in the
teachers’ salary bill. The board, at
the same time, filled the other two
offices by promoting Carnet C. Wilk
inson. to be first assistant superin
tendent of the colored school system,
and appointing Harry English, chief
of the board of examiners.
Miss Marion P. Shadd, supervising
principal of the eleventh division,
was named second assistant superin
tendent of colored schools, succeed
ing Mr. Wilkinson, while the position
of head of the department of mathe
matics of the high schools, left va
cant by the promotion of Mr. English,
was filled with the appointment of
William J. Wallis, a teacher of
mathematics at Central High School.
Ballou Praises Kramer.
In recommending the appointment
of Mr. Kramer as the first assistant
superintendent, [>r. Frank \\ . Ballou,
superintendent, said: "In his position
as principal of Central High School
and as assistant superintendent, Mr.
Kramer has abundantly justified the
good judgment of those who have
been responsible for promoting him
from time to time until he was
subordinate only to the superintend
ent. During my four years of
service 1 have found him a wise
counselor and an able executive
officer. He knows the school system
and is familiar with every phase of
Its work. He knows personally most
of the employes. His interest in the
welfare of the school system and of
every person connected with it has
been manifest on every hand. It will
be impossible to fill completely his po
sh ion at Central High School."
.Mr. Kramer's service in the school
f \ stem has covered a period of more
than 30 years. Appointed a teacher
of English at Eastern High School In
IS9O, Mr. Kramer was gradually pro
moted until he became assistant su
perintendent in 1914. In October,
1923, he was transferred to be princi
pal of Central High School at his own
request, succeeding Robert A. Maurer,
who resigned.
Wilkinson Service I.ong.
Mr. Wilkinson has been assistant
superintendent in charge of colored
schools sinc:» 1921. His service In
the schools dates back to 1902 when
he was appointed a teacher of Latin
In the old M Street High School.
Several promotions brough him to the
principalshlp of the Dunbar High
Several promotions brought him to the
hoard that, in his opinion, none of the
leading colored educators in the coun
try is “superior to Asst. Supt. Wil
kinson."
Although ranked as an assistant
superintendent. Miss Shadd’s princi
pal duties will be to act as chief ex
aminer for the hoard of examiners of
the colored schools. She has been in
the school system since 1877 and has
filled a number of positions with
marked success. Her achievements
!n the field of educational leadership,
according to Mr. Wilkinson, have
been noteworthy.
Mr. English has beet*' connected
with the school system since 1887 and
lias been at the head of the depart
ment of mathematics throughout his
service. In 1906, when the hoard of
examiners was established under the
provisions of the organic act, Mr.
English was detailed as secretary of
the hoard, a position without remu
neration. which Mr. English has
filled fur IS years in addition to his
duties as head of the department of
mathematics in the high schools. His
work as a mathematician has won
wide recognition. He is a member of
the Mathematical Association of
America and the International Com
mission in the Teaching of Mathe
matics.
Mr. Wallis, the new head of the
department of mathematics, has been
serving the public schools since 1896,
when he was appointed a teacher at
Eastern High School. In 1916 he was
transferred to Central.

URGES CONFERENCE
OF WHITE NATIONS
Britten Resolve Says De
fensive Measures Needed
Against Japan.
Conference of the white nations bor
dering on the Pacific, to be called by
the President, to discuss means of pro
moting better economic, commercial anil
political understanding. Is proposed in
a resolution introduced today by Rep
resentative Fred A. Britten of Illinois,
ranking member of the House naval
committee.
First announcement of his intention
to originate such legislation was made
by Representative Britten at a banquet
given by the Chambers of Commerce
of several Western Cities in honor of
tie congressional delegations from the
Pacific Coast States.
"The attitude of Japan before the
League of Nations and In Japan Itself
In opposition to certain cherished
principles of America,” said Mr. Britten,
"is Justification for the introduction of
my resolution.
"Japan’s open preparation for war
Is a reason why the white peoples sur
rounding the Pacific Ocean should have
a definite defensive policy for their
mutual protection, and the quicker this
is done the better."
The Illinois member added that Aus
tralia already had indicated a desire
to participate in such a movement,
and he suggested either Australia, Can
ada or Honolulu as a suitable place for
the proposed conference, ’’so as to take
it away from the political machina
tions" of Washington.
Heinrich von Meissen, who died at
Mainz, Germany, in 1318, was founder
of the first school of Melsterslngers.
Women of Mainz, whose praises he
sung, carried his body to his tomb in
the cathedral.

converted from a liquor saloon to
temperance ways, she says: "I am
very fond of gin and rum, but as
you go through life you will find
there are a lot of things you want
but are better without."
On this text she based a little
sermon concerning the evils of
alcohol, which, she declared, was
"no „ood to any one."
Alfonso Speech on Record.
MADRID, December 18. —King Al
fonso has just had recorded for the
phonograph a patriotic speech and
