“POLICY" ADOPTED
Education Held Essential
Purpose as “Red Rider”
Is Buried.
Politically killed last week, the “red
rider’’ was officially buried by the
Board of Education yesterday.
The board adopted a “declaration
of educational policy submitted by
Dr. Robert A. Maurer, vice president
of the board, in bidding final fare
well to the troublesome piece of leg
islation which forbade teaching or ad
vocacy of communism in the District
schools.
In introducing the statement, which
Is largely a restatement of the feel-'
ings of board members from the i
very beginning of the controversy i
two years ago. Dr. Maurer declared
himself confident also that he was
expressing the prevailing sentiment
among teachers in the school system.
With some slight language amend
ment, the declaration was adopted
by the members as follows:
"The essential outstanding purpose
of an American public school system
is the education of our youth for in
telligent and loyal citizenship.
American Institutions.
"This end can in large measure be
achieved through the comparative
study of all forms of government,
the history of other nations, and
especially—and most important—by
thorough study and understanding of
our own history' and of our ideals
of democratic government under a
constitution. The courses of study
In the District of Columbia public
schools, with their ample provisions
for such study and understanding,
promote faith in, loyalty to and ap
preciation of American institutions
and the American principle of gov
ernment.
"Under such a program of instruc
tion the satisfactory character of
teaching depends to a great extent
upon the result it achieves in patriotic
citizenship. Without such result teach
ing is unsatisfactory.
"Under such a program of instruc
tion there ran be no place for teach
ing which has the purpose or effect,
directly or indirectly, of indoctrinating
pupils with any philosophy of gov
ernment, by whatever name called,
antagonistic to that of the United
States. This board has not heretofore
countenanced, ar.d will not hereafter
countenance, such subversive indoc
trination in the public schools of the
District of Columbia.
"The foregoing constitutes a declara
tion of educational policy.”
Sixteen Summer schools in di
visions 1 to 9 ar.d 11 in divisions 10
to 13 were approved by the board to
open July 1. The Summer sessions
will be held at, Central, Maefarland,
Stuart, Blair, Brown, Buchanan, Bur
roughs, Curtis. Emery, Fairbrother,
Force, Park View, Pierce, Wallach,
West and Webster for the white stu
dents and at Dunbar, Garnet-Pat
terson. Bell, Burrville, Cook, Garri
son, Giddings, Lovejoy, Mott, Phillips
and Summer schools for the colored
students.
Two Changes Approved.
The board also approved two
changes in the requirements for Sum
mer school teachers outlined under
the superintendent's recently adopted
plan. It was decided that the specified
age limit of 45 years should yot ap
ply where a candidate has had pre
vious Summer school teaching ex
perience and meets all other require
ments. Previous Summer school teach
ing experience also will count for the
applicant. These changes, however,
were declared not to be retroactive to
apply to recently completed tests.
The Health Department was au
thorized to use a single room in the
Petworth, Burroughs and Giddings
Schools m connection with the work
of the Bureau of Maternal and Child
Welfare in conducting infant and pre
school health conferences.
The ooard also authorized Dr. Frank
W. Ballou to place a new rating sheet
before the rating officers at once and
propose its adoption on a trial basis
at the end of this school year.
The contract for cadet uniforms was i
again awarded to the Sigmund Eisner !
Co. of Red Bank N. J., as the lowest i
bidder. The previous contract was
terminated because of an indicated j
rise In price and bids were thrown
open. The New Jersey firm was again \
the low bidder.
Henry W. Draper, supervising prin- !
eipal of division 1; Annie G. Trenls, I
teacher of health education and phys- !
leal training at Western, and Miss
Bernadette L. Dore, principal of the
Barnard School, were granted ap
proval to represent the District public
schools at the W’orld Conference of
Educational Associations at Tokio,
Japan, in August.
The board also requested the school
officials to follow the previous policy In
making up the 1939 budget to be in- j
fluenced by the needs of the schools j
and not simply by economy.
