CAMPAIGN TO SEEK
P. W. A. SCHOOL AID
Trade Board Committee for
Buildings to Relieve Con
gested Conditions.
Chairman George E. Keneipp of the
Board of Trade Committee on Public
Schools today planned a campaign to
enlist approval from Congress of a
P. W. A. allocation to erect buildings
to relieve congested conditions in [
District public schools.
Keneipp found ammunition for his
campaign -during a tour yesterday of
high, junior high and elementary ,
achools, at the close of which he said: |
"If these conditions exist now,
they will be much worse later, and
■we want to be prepared for them by
having land available and plans ready
even if we don't build them right
away.”
The matter will be presented to the
House Subcommittee on District ap
propriations some time during the
latter part of this week or the early
part of next week, when Cooper B.
Rhodes, a committee member, will
argue the case before Chairman Ross
Collins.
Building Inspected.
Meeting at Roosevelt High School,
Keneipp's committee was conducted
through the building by Miss M. P.
Bradshaw, principal. Inspection re
vealed that while the fundamental
educational program was being com
fortably carried, out, it was at the
expense of certain desirable extra
curricular activities such as correc
tive exercises for pupils unable to
participate in the regular exercise
program.
Two junior high schools visited,
the Paul and the Powell, revealed
congested conditions. Figures as of
November 1, 1936. showed the Paul
School handles about 400 pupils over
capacity. Most of these pupils, the
committee found, are taken care of
In an old eight-room building about
two blocks away and in the library,
which has been made over into a
temporary class room. Principal L. J.
Cantrell pointed out that many of
the boys in the old building have to
make the trip of two blocks up to the
main edifice for some classes, regard
less of weather conditions.
A slight congestion at the Powell
Is taken care of by two portable
school houses and the Johnson eight
room annex across the street, the
Investigation showed.
Serious Overcrowding.
Looking over elementary schools,
the group found serious congestion in
the Cleveland School for colored chil
dren, where the teachers have to
operate eight part-time classes to
take care of the enrollment. The
Weightman School for Crippled Chil
dren also has 50 ifupils in eignt grades
being taught by two teachers in two
rooms, they learned.
The attention of the committee was
also attracted by the poor condition
of some of the equipment in the
schools. At the Force Elementary
School they found blackboards on
which the teachers were scarcely able
to write without wetting the chalk.
The also visited the Cranch and
Tyler Schools as examples of very
old buildings still being used.
"Although some of the committee
are weighing the value of some of
the extracurricular activities which
take up space in some of the build
ings.” Keneipp said, ‘‘we are all in
terested in seeing that our children
have facilities to get an adequate
fundamental education.”

plaints of Employes to
