T "UTO ' " r- "TT THE' WASHINGTON TIMES, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1912. M ; ' EC0N0M1ESPLANNED IK THE CONDUCT OF IICT COT SCHOOLS Consolidation of Classes Will Make Is Unnecessary I to Fill Vacancies. Delegates to G. A. R. Convention Economies In the conduct of the schools of the District will be recom mended by Superintendent of Schools W. M. Davidson at the noxt meeting of the Board of Education, and will probably be effected by the board. This board meeting will take place next week, probably on Wednesday. Dr. Dfividson, It Is learned, Is likely to recommend that the vacancy caused by the deaths of I. Fatrbrother, super vising principal of the eighth division, be not filled, but that the schools be divided among the eight remaining white divisions. Besides this, It Is likely that Dr. Davidson will report In favor of con solidating certain classes in several of the District high schools which will render it unnecessary to fill vacancies created by resignation last June and during the summer. Dr. Davidson's report will Include recommendations for the prlnclpalshlps of the new white and colored Bchools, which will be opened during the year except, of course, with respect to the new normal. In which case It Is a new bulldlnir and not a new school. The Board of Education is llkelv to approve unanimously of the rccommen riatlqns. Discussing the prospective changes in the administration. President Oyster, of the board, said today: "It Is the object or the board. Just as it is of the superintendent, to conduct the schools as economically ns posstblo and to make such savings on the salary roll as circumstances mav warrant. It ' will be worth while, at all events, to make the experiment in regard to abol ishing one division and dividing the schools amonc the otner groups. But there Is not going to te anv cheap administration of tho schools, no matter what economics we mav effect." The schools In the division over which Mr. Falrbrother presided until his death are the Amldon, Bowen Bayles, Bradley, Greenleaf, Potomac Bmallwood, and Van Ness. The prospect of abolishing the eighth division and of consolidating some high school classes will bring woo to appli cants for positions. There aro many who have applied for the supervising prlnclpalshtp, in which a vacancy has existed since Mr. Falrbrother died, and many, too, seek to teach In the high schools.
