BALLOU IS UPHELD
ON "OUTSIDE" TALKS
School Board Adopts His Pro
posals in Fixing a
Definite Policy.
The Board of Education as such will
lake no part In the official authoriza
tion of "outside" lectures to high school
pupils on the effects of cigarettes and
alcoholic drinks, but it will place re
sponsibility for permitting these talks
on the high school principals, who al
ready are called upon to pass on lec
tures on other topics.
This was the decision of the School
Board at its meeting late yesterday,
«hen Dr. Prank W. Ballou. superin
tendent of schools, formally disap
proved of the petition of the District
of Columbia Committee on Public
Schools to sponsor such lectures by Dr.
D. H. Kress and Dr. Sinclair Bowen,
prominent medical authorities.
In the same meeting the board ap
proved the appointments of 267 Sum
mer school teachers, "subject to the
passage" of the District of Columbia
appropriations bill for 1933 and sub
ject to the provisions of any economy
legislation which Congress may enact.
The board received a petition from the
Business High School Parent-Teacher
Association that sufficient funds be in
cluded in the 1934 appropriation bill
to complete the purchase of adequate
furniture and equipment for the Roose
velt (new Business) High School.
I'rjes Definite Policy.
In recommending that the School
Board decline to authorize Dr. Kress
and Dr. Bowen to speak in the high
schools on the effects of cigarettes and
alcoholic drinks, as suggested at the
last board meeting by William R. Ma
honey, spokesman for the Public School
Committee, Dr. Ballou pointed out that
the Board of Education long has recog
nized that the superintendent of
school administers the schools, while
the board makes the system's policies.
Mr. Mahoney's proposal that the board
authorize the two physicians to lecture in
the schools and permit the superinten
dent to approve other speakers that the
committee may suggest. Dr. Ballou said,
is a division of authority between the
board and the superintendent. Dr.
Ballou argued that the board should
adopt a definite policy on the question
of outside lectures in the schools and
then charge the superintendent with
responsibility for the administration of
the policy.
Dr. Bailou added, witn respect to
cigarette smoking and the use of alco
holic beverages, that these subjects are
being taught in the schools at present
as efficiently as any other subject.
Lecturers on other subjects, he said,
are permitted to address pupils at the
discretion of the principals of the
schools in which they speak, and Dr.
Ballou said he saw no reason why the
cigarette and drinking lectures should
be handled any differently.
Dr. Ballou's specific recommenda
tions, which were approved by the
Bchool Board were:
1. That the board repeal its action
of November, 1927, providing that all
requests for lecturing on controver
sial subjects be referred to the Board
of Education for consideration and ac
tion.
2. That the principal in each school
be authorized to determine what lec
turers, if any, contemplated In Mr.
Mahoney's proposal shall lecture before
the schools.
Fund Reductions Traced.
In its appeal for the Inclusion of
Roosevelt High School items in the
1934 budget the Business High School
Parent-Teacher Association, through
its president, Edward R. Williams,
traced the cuts made to date in the
Roosevelt High School's funds carried
in the pending 1933 appropriation bill.
The initial School Board request for
$220,000 for furniture and equipment
for the new school, he pointed out,
was cut to $200,000 by the Bureau of
the Budget. This sum since has been
set by the Senate and House con
ferees at $165,000. It is feared that
such a reduction in the purchase money
may force the selection of inferior
grade furniture, which, it has been
pointed out. would be "poor economy."
since early replacements would be
necessary.
The Business High School organiza
tion submitted a second petition for
the early improvement of the grounds
at the new Rooeevelt Building. It was
pointed out that the handsome struc
ture is surrounded by earthen banks
which tend to become muddy rivulets
with every rain. Simultaneous with
this plea, however, the School Board's
own Committee on Buildings, Grounds
end Equipment presented a recom
mendation that the board request the
Commissioners to "give serious con
sideration" to the new building's ter
races in order to correct the present
condition. The board approved the
recommendation, and its appeal will
be sent at once to the District Building.
The Roosevelt High School, located at
Thirteenth street and Iowa avenue, will
be opened next September, and will
replace the present Business High
j School, at Ninth street and RhojJe
j Island avenue.
i The board yesterday voted to demote
H A. Haynes from assistant superin
tendent In charge of research In the
colored schools to the prlncipalship of
the new Hugh M. Browne Junior High
School. H. H. Long, now on educa
tional leave of absence, was reinstated
as assistant superintendent in charge
of research. Miss V. E. Chase, who
has been principal of the Browne Junior
High School, was transferred to the
prlnclpalsnlp of the Junior high school
to be located in the M Street High
School Building following the transfer
of the Cardoio High School from that
structure to the present Business High
School Building.
CROSSES ARE VOTED TWO
FOR HOP TO TURKEY
Senate Revises House Bill to Make
Polando and Boardman Recog
nition "More Adequate."
: By th* Associated Press.
! The Senate today voted Distinguished
I Flying Croeses to John L. Polando and
' Russell N. Boardman for their non-stop
! flight from the United States to Istan
j bul, Turkey.
On the motion of Senator Reed (Re- j
I publican, Pennsylvania ι it revised a
! House bill awarding the two Distin- ]
! gulshed Service Medals. The measure
j now goes to conference. Reed called at- ;
tention to the Senate's action in voting
a cross for Amelia Earhart Putnam, and
contended a service medal was not ade
quate recognition for the aerial feat of j
Boardman and Polando.
On motion of Senator Bingham
(Republican, Connecticut) the Senate I
; included medals for Wiley Post and ι
Harold Gatty for their round-the-world j
flight.
Bingham explained that the Senate
passed a bill giving medals to Gatty
and Poet some months ago. but the
House hadn't acted on it. This action
was taken to expedite passage.
There was once a wealthy man who
occasionally entertained literary people
whose fancy It was to place them at a
table, each according to the size and
thickness of the books they had pub- ,
lished.

The story goes that Charles Darwin
long had in mind his theory regarding
the 'Origin of Species." but always
hesitated to promulgate his views until,
hearing that a fellow scientist had
struck upon a generalisation almost
identical, it was resolved that the two
papers embodying these ideas should be
read at the same meeting.

"Like a
stepchild''
..a question generally
avoided. Why?
DO you inhale? Why has this question
been treated "like a stepchild" in ciga
rette advertising?
It's a subject vital to you—for you do inhale
—we all do—every smoker inhales—every
smoker breathes in some part of the smoke
he or she draws out of a cigarette.
Do you inhale? A simple question. But
silence on the subject—«nay be full of meaning.
Lucky Strike has dared to raise this question
...because certain impurities concealed in even
the finest, mildest tobacco leaves are removed
by Lucky Strike's famous purifying process.
Luckies created that process. Only Luckies
have it!
Do you inhale? Of course you do! Then
