EDUCATION BOARD
First. Try-out of Attempted
Solution of Supervision
Problem Authorized. .
TOWEL SERVICE IS DROPPED
Changes in Personnel and Res
ignations Are Reported.
Reinstatement Asked.
The plan of E. L. Thurston, superin
tendent of schools, for combining vari
ous croups of fchoolo under a single
principal, os told exclusively in Tho
Times yesterday, was approved yester
day afternoon by the Board of Educa
tion, The schools which will mark the
first; tryout of this arrangement will bo
the Jefferson and Amidon, in tho south
west, and thoWallach and '-Towers in
the -southeast.
Superintendent Thurston cited the
large number of small buildings in
Washington as cvldcnco of tho diffi
culty of tho supervision problem. Cleve
land, with a population almost twico ns
large as that of Washington, has forty
fewer grade schools buildings than
Washington.
Will Be No Demotions.
.The plan will not include the demo-'
tlon of any teachers, but it will be in
troduced gradually, as principals re
sign, and the building left without a
principal will be placed in charge of a
principal in a nearby school when pos
sible. Public schools will have no towel ser
vice for tho rest of this jycar. The reg
ulation barring the roller towel in pub
lic places goes Into effect on February
1, and since the appropriation for towels
in the schools Is not adequate to pro
vide any other kind, the board decided
to remove them altogether, and mean
while a committee will inquire into
means of supplying a towel service that
will comply with the new law.
Mrs. Susie Root Rhodes, a member of
the board, was Indorsed for the position
of director of primary instruction in
