Va. 1962), and with more particular reference to Wanner v. County School Board of Arlington County, 357 F 2d 452 (1966). In my legal opinion, the decisions of the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals in the various Thompson. Hamm and Rrooks cases, cited supra, do not determine the question you have raised, although the repeated presence of the local School Board before the Court has become a somewhat sore subject with that Court, as may be observed at page 453 of the Wanner opinion, supra, where the Court states; "Before proceeding to the merits, it is important to recall that the School Board of Arlington County has since _________ O O D B TO® �Mr. William F. Kay Arlington Education Association October 29, 1969 Page Two 1956 been under injunctive orders approved by this court, prohibiting racial segregation in the Arlington public schools.“ The Thompson. Hamm and Brooks cases stemmed from the denial by the School Board of the applications of certain black students to enter then all-white Junior and Senior High Schools which were closer to their residences than a then all-black school to which such students were assigned, and which were attended by their neighboring white students. Denial of such applications was generally overruled by the Court and when a continuing injunction, directed to the School Board of Arlington County, was dissolved by the United States District Court in 204 F. Supp. 620, in 1962, the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals promptly reversed the lower Court and reinstated the injunction at 324 F. 2d 303, in 1963. In the latter opinion, the Court stated that "The Hoffman-Boston district was originally created for Negroes when the maintenance of the segregated system was the avowed policy and practice" and, that "Hoffman-Boston remains as it was contrived, a Negro enclave entirely surrounded by white school zones." The Court further stated that the "District Court's finding that there is no evidence to sustain the charge that geographical boundaries were es­ tablished to maintain segregation is clearly erroneous." 324 F. 2nd 308. In the Wanner case, cited supra, on the other hand, suit was brought by the parents of certain white children to enjoin the School Board of Arlington County from proceeding with plans for the desegregation of all-Negro Hoffman-Boston Junior High School. The United States District Court granted the injunction. The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the lower Court thus permitting the School Board to proceed with its desegregation plans which it did beginning with the 1965-66 school year. The Court of Appeals stated at page 454 of its opinion: "If a school board is constitutionally forbidden to institute a system of racial segregation by the use of 2 �Mr. William F. Kay Arlington Education Association October 29, 1969 Page Three artificial boundary lines, it is likewise forbidden to per­ petuate a system that has been so instituted. It would be stultifying to hold that a board may not move to undo arrangements artificially contrived to effect or maintain segregation, on the ground that this interference with the status quo would involve 1 consideration of race'. When school authorities, recognizing the historic fact that existing conditions are based on a design to segregate the races, act to undo these illegal conditions— especially con­ ditions that have been judicially condemned— their effort is not to be frustrated on the ground that race is not a permissible consideration. This is not the 'consideration of race’ which the Constitution discountenances. "Here the Board, abandoning the racially gerrymandered lines of the past, adopted legally permissible geographic lines. This action was within the Board's lawful discretion. It is no ground of objection that other geographic lines might also have been drawn that would be less disruptive of the segregated pattern. An otherwise permissible re­ districting plan does not become vulnerable because it attains a measure of racial balance." At page 455 of its opinion, the Court of Appeals stated that the School Board, in the Wanner case, was not dealing with de facto segregation, but with de jure segregation, in which the constitutionally forbidden practice of maintaining school attendance areas fixed with an eye to the separation of the ("races was involved. The situation at Drew Elementary appears to fall into the de facto segregation concept since that school L^is situated in the midst of and serves a Negro community. The landmark case of Brown v. Board of Education, 347 U. S. 483 L. ed. 873, 74 S. Ct. 686 (1954), established the basic principle that state-imposed racial segregation in the public schools is unconstitutional and prohibited by.the equal pro­ tection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitu­ tion of the United States. See 47 Am. Jur., Schools,Sec. 219 where it is said: “In implementing the decision of the United States Supreme Court that racial discrimination in public education �Mr. William F. Kay Arlington Education Association October 29, 1969 Page Four is unconstitutional, the courts may consider problems related to administration, arising from the physical condition of the school plant, the school transportation system, personnel, revision of school districts, and attendance areas into com­ pact units to achieve a system of determining admission to the public schools on a nonracial basis, and revision of local laws and regulations which may be necessary in solving the problems of desegregation; the courts will also consider the adequacy of any plans the defendants may propose to meet this problem and to effectuate a transition to a racially nondiscriminatory school system. Brown v. Board of Ed. of Topeka, 349 U. S. 294, 99 L Ed. 1083, 75 S Ct 753." Whether the Federal Constitution requires integration in a situation involving de facto segregation— such as at the Drew Elementary School— is a question which has not yet been decided by the Supreme Court of the United States. Lower Federal Courts are divided as to whether failure or refusal of school authorities to remedy de facto segregation violates the Federal constitutional rights of Negro children. In Bell v. School City of Gary, 324 F 2d 209, cert. den. 377 U. S. 924, 12L. Ed. 2d 216, 84 S. Ct. 1223 (1963), the court held that the ^Federal constitution does not impose any affirma­ tive duty upon state or municipal agencies to eliminate de facto segregation. In Bell, supra, and Downs v.Board of Edu­ cation. 336 F 2d 988, cert, den. 380 U. S. 914, 13 L Ed. 2d 800, 855 ct. 898 the court stated that the Federal Constitu­ tion does not require a school board to destroy or abandon a school system developed under the neighborhood school plan, _ even though it results in a racial imbalance in the schools, _ r where that school system has- been honestly and conscientiously / constructed with no intention or purpose to maintain or per( petuate segregation. _ On the other hand the view has been taken that the United States Constitution requires, in a situation involving de \ facto segregation, something more than mere passivity by a \ school board. Blocker v. Board of Education. 226 F Supp 208 I (1964); see Branche v. Board ofEducation, 204 F. Supp. 150 �Mr. William F. Kay Arlington Education Association October 29, 1969 Page Five (1962). And, in Booker v. Board of Education. 45 NJ 161, 212 A 2d 1, 11 ALR 3d 754 (1965) the court said that sub­ stantial racial imbalance calls for relief in the form of voluntary action on the part of the school board to eliminate or reduce de facto segregation. No final decision has been found holding that measures voluntarily taken by school authorities to that end violate the constitutional rights of white children. "It is submitted that the use of racial factors by school administrators in formulating attendance regulations may be sustained against a challenge of unconstitutionality only if the goal they are employed to achieve is entitled to sufficient constitutional acceptance to outweigh the basic repugnancy of official bodies' thinking of those subject to their jurisdiction as members of racial groups. The mani­ pulation of school assignments to achieve integration or racial balance may be justified on two bases: (1) racial integration in all forms of social inter­ course is in itself a basic value of American society; racial integration in the public schools is neces­ sary to provide an educational environment for minority group children which will in fact afford them equal educational opportunities. Similarly, constitutional objections to the consideration of racial factors, whatever the legislative goal, may be predi­ cated on two fundamental points: (1) racial classifications are in themselves inherently invidious and repugnant to a free society; (2) consideration of racial factors works a continuing injury to the status within the community of minority group members.” 50 Va. L. Rev. #3, p. 464, at pages 531 and 532. �Mr. William F. Kay Arlington Education Association October 29, 1969 Page Six I feel that the case of Wanner v. County School of Arlington County, cited supra, answers the opening question in the negative, although that case did not involve a case of de facto segregation as we have at Drew. I say this because of the following language found at page 457 of the Court's opinion: ". . . I f the Board had not been under a duty to realign the Hoffman-Boston, Thomas Jefferson, and Gunston Districts, perhaps it would not have moved at this time to change the pre-existing arrangement. But it was under a duty to rearrange the gerrymandered districts and did so in such a way as to achieve what it considered optimum educational advantages under all the circumstances. That the Board did not deem it feasible to go further and realign the Swanson District at this time does not cast doubt upon the testimony of the School Board members and the Superintendant that in their deliberate judgment the manner in which the gerrymandered districts were realigned is educationally advantageous." I would conclude, however, that a much better chance of success in desegregating Drew would lie in the defense of a School Board adopted'policy to that effect, than in an attack upon the School Board to force it to adopt such a policy.

It's a vote against converting a small school . . . the Drew Elementary school . . . into an outsized patch-quilt monstrosity which will be with us for years. It's a vote against building on a cramped site in a congested area where youngsters are now deprived of badly needed playspace. That's what the school bond issue is about . . . it involves nothing more than an addition to a single school . . . the Drew Elementary school. H O W MUCH TAX MONEY WILL BE SAVED . . . BY A N O VOTE? About $950,000, almost a million dollars, which can be voted next year, perhaps, to build a more-for-the-money school for this community and in keeping with current trends toward FEWER students per school. WHAT ABOUT THE DREW YOUNGSTERS? WON'T THEY MISS OUT ON SOMETHING, IF THEY DON'T GET THE ADDITION VIA THE BOND ISSUE? Answer: The present facilities plus the Drew annex are okay for a while . . . preferable to building a king-sized memorial to segregation. No, the bond issue simply locks these youngsters into a sub-standard and segregated facility . . . and throws away the key. IS A NO VOTE AGAINST WASTE AND INEFFICIENCY? YES. The school bond money would tack 22 classrooms onto the existing 15. It would house 1,100 youngsters . . . more than three times the average for Arlington elementary schools. It would dilute the teacher strength. But worse, the bond issue would imprison over two-thirds of Negro pupils of elementary a ge in a single facility, through 6th grade. On graduation, they would be thrown into junior high, with an extreme handicap . . . putting a dent in the WHOLE school set-up. Inefficient, Wasteful, Unfair. VOTE NO ON THE SCHOOL BOND ISSUE.

Edward H. Redman, Minister Unitarian Church of Arlington, Virginia Sunday, October 29, 1961 �A NEWCOMER LOOKS AT DREW KEMPER Disfranchised as I have been for the past twelve months in virtue of my move to your midst to take up the work of this church, I come before you this morning ■with a deep concern in a matter at issue in the Arlington County election coming up a few days hence on November 7th. For those having a long connection with our liberal religious movement, it will be no surprise that your minister feels a responsibility, as a function of his role and office, to share his civic concerns with his congregation. The only requirements are, and must be, that they shall be his concerns, that they shall be relevant to genuine human problems in need of solution, that the presentation shall be candid with as much insight and analytical cogency as he can muster, and that the freedom and obligation of the minister to express a point of view shall be matched by an equal freedom on the part of the members of the congregation to choose divergent and even opposite positions. In entering the discussion of a matter of public policy, political decision making, or popular referendum, the minister is called upon to bring his values and his faith, his knowledge and his skills, his perspectives on life, religion, values, and history, his best wit and humor, and broadest good-will to the question at issue .A He must come in no spirit of narrow partisanship, so far as he can escape the effects of his life-long relationships and commitments. He must come in full consciousness that he can be wrong as to facts, mistaken in his judgments, and socially hurtful in the conceivable consequences of his self-expression, but speak he must, as it has been said, with candor moderated by love. The issue of the day concerns the proposal to build a large addition to the Drew Elementary School. This issue has been widely debated throughout the communi ty. Proposals have been put forth by several groups, including the Community Coun cil for Social Progress with which our church has been closely related from the beginning, that at least one other suitable building site, Douglas Park, is avail able. The School Board, however, has taken the position that a condition exists which can only be corrected by building something soon ; that no alternative sites show adequate promise, or timely availability and that work must be commenced at once on the enlargement of Drew School. In this point of view the School Board seems to be joined by three of the four candidates for election to the County Board, and at least in form, if not in substance, by the P.T.A. of the Drew Kemper District. It is joined also by the Citizen's Committee for School Improvement in which some of our members also have a continuing interest. A newcomer would find it hard to stand against these combined judgments under ordinary circumstances. Arlington County has made impressive and out-standing « n gains in the field of educational -studies generally. Its schools serve the com- • - *' ** ' munity of adults as well as children in ways of which we can be justly proud, and its progress toward integration has become commendable^ Yet, much as I would wish to lavish praise on all who have achieved so much, as a newcomer coming upon the Drew-Kemper issue and all of its attendant circumstances, I must say that if this expansion of the Drew School is allowed to happen, it will be a monument of failure. All across the nation professional people, educators, ministers, concerned laymen will say to one another, some with amusement, some with amazement, and some with scorns "Can you imagine it? Have you heard? Arlington County with all of its sophistication, altruism, and progressive spirit actually proposes to build an elementary school for 1200 children having thirty-seven classroomsJ" One of the candidates has been quoted as saying that there is no recent testimony on how large a school should be. The opinion of the Department of Ele mentary School Principals, National Education Association, of 1951*, that no elemen tary school should be larger than 500 pupils, this candidate disparages on the - 1 - �grounds that the testimony is out-of-date. There are findings, opinions, research results in many fields of endeavor that do not go so easily out-of-date. The only counter to the 195h professional opinion, or as some would have it the group pre judice, of the nation's elementary school principals would be research data to show that that opinion is wrong. There would have to be a guinea pig laboratory school, preferably a number of them, to provide the means of research on the effects of having an extraordinarily large collection of children brought together in a single unit. If such research could establish positive values to be derived from doing this, I say positive values, and not merely the absence of negative ones, then a decision to do such a thing in this community might be partially justified. So far as I can find out, there has been no such research7 Perhaps there should be such research, but as of this moment, the proposition is so outrageous from a profes sional point of view that it is akin to asking why no one has taken the pains to analyze what is the best poison to use for committing suicide. One could get some sort of answer, factually and analytically, but it is an improper question. I have received from Dr. Ray Kehoe of the Bureau of School Services of the University of Michigan, the following testimony: "The Bureau of School Services of the University of Michigan conducts school surveys as one of its functions. I have been active in this work in recent years. Lay groups often confront our Bureau with two questions: (l) What is the ideal size for an elementary school? (2) How can school systems determine site needs for elementary schools? "The standards we follow as to site are those accepted by the majority of school plant planning personnel in the U.S., n a m e l y 5 acres of site as a base plus 1 acre for each 100 pupils. These are minimum standards and are often ex ceeded where land costs are reasonable. Many schools and municipalities combine forces and acquire school-park sites. These have worked out very well in Ann Arbor and in Grand Rapids, Michigan. "The maximum recommended size for elementary schools will vary somewhat depend ing upon the average teacher-pupil ratio. Our Bureau recommends a 20 room school consisting of 2 Kindergarten rooms and 18 classrooms to serve grades K-57”' If a maximum ratio of 30 to 1 is followed, the Kindergarten rooms will serve 120 pupils (2 sessions daily in each) and 51:0 pupils in the other 18 rooms. The total school ) population would then average out at 660 maximum and probably less if a lower pupil| teacher ratio is obtained. "There is a logic to support a school of 500-600 pupils. There would be enough pupils and teachers to justify the services of a full-time principal and clerk who provide leadership and assistance to the teaching staff. A school of this size can also make adequate use of a physical education station, a library, an auditorium, special music and art facilities, and special education and health rooms. Transportation considerations are important and attendance areas should not be of such a size that pupils find it difficult to walk to school. "If fewer than 500-600 students are enrolled, not many school systems can afford to include the recommended specialized facilities. If the enrollment ex ceeds 650 or so, the curriculum program must be cut back or duplicate facilities constructed. Also, additional clerical and administrative personnel would be re. quired. Educators are concerned that the elementary school does not become an I impersonal institution with the individual feeling 'lost.’ This could easily occur 1 in a large elementary school enrolling 900-1100 pupils. ) "The above are points of view which we express to our clients and which I believe represent the views currently accepted as valid by authorities in the field. �- 3 "In short the issue of the size of elementary school is a function of effi ciency and individualization of instruction. Both factors must be kept i n mind or the results will be unfortunate." Mr. Lawrence Prakken, editor and publisher of School Shop, the Education Digest, and other educational books and materials, has commented to me: "In the Review of Educational Research, April 1959, the following is said about the size of elementary schools: 'The size of the elementary school changed little in the last decade. In 1928 the average size of the school with a supervising principal was 632} in 191*8 it was 520} in 1958 it was 536} close to the average 10 years previously.1 "Data shoving how the size of an elementary school affects the development of children are not available." For myself, so far as time and energy is available, I would wish to seek further opinions from other specialists as their names are made known to me, but the testimony so far leads strenuously in support of the 1951* opinion of the Elementary Principals: | | Five hundred to six hundred children are as many as should be concentrated on 'Iin a single setting as a matter of deliberate planning. How seriously should we take this professional opinion? Is it valid? I am satisfied that the opinion cannot be counted out merely because its formal expres sion as a poll or survey happens to be dated. The non-professional can look questioningly at professional opinion and ask for supporting reasons. He can listen to the reasons and remain unconvinced, if he wishes to do so. Each of us who is professionally engaged will have opinions about the acceptable environ mental conditions under which his work is best performed. And each profession may be able to achieve a consensus of the matter. I have worked enough with medical men to know that they have their own ideas about hospital arrangements and manage ment. Ministers surely have much agreement, so fundamental as to cross all other doctrinal lines, as to the viable considerations in church construction and pro gramming. Thus the educators take their professional place where the arts and crafts of their trade come under popular review. Yes, we will have to concede that the professional opinion can be wrong. But, I believe it would be a mistake not to accept it as the starting point for research in a far-reaching effort to prove it wrong. On most other matters we would, I think, be wise so to proceed. We have here to deal with problems of child develop ment psychology, the capacity of a child to derive benefit from environmental factors dependent on institutional size, multiplicity of contacts and choices, relationship of self to others and to,yspace. It could be conceivable with ade quate study and planning, that the proponents of Drew-Kemper enlargement are right in assuming that a large school could be designed with decentralization of adminis tration, of class room facilities, and play spaces to overcome successfully the professional objection. No one can take an absolute stand on this. But we should be mindful that there is a reasonable doubt, that it would be an experiment, that it should not be cbne hastily, that an ample staff of specialists should be gathered for research, and the public should be ready to give up the usage of the enlarged facility at that point at which research data might show adverse effects upon the emotional and intellectual well-being of the children involved. That anyone seriously intends to move more slowly, to plan carefully, to at tend to continuing research is extremely doubtful. I would,therefore,find it �- It necessary to say that this is not the time and place to toy with the well-being of these children. Ify conclusion from this much of my enquiry is plain. Under no circumstances should we be supporting the grandiose addition of so many as twenty-two classrooms ' to Drew Kiementary School. Some classrooms additions and some improvements together with drastic improvements of land, approximating what already has been procured may I be considered desirable. live rooms, yes. Twenty-two rooms, NoJ J 5 ..• If any growth in the elementary school population is projected for the exist ing district in the next few years, the issue ought to be before us in the future planning not of an addition to Drew Elementary, but the locating and constructing of two wholly new elementary schools for the district now served by Drew-Kemper and Drew Annex, with other creative and far-sighted adaptations and improvements. For it should be perceived that the logic of the situation is beyond any pos sibility of perplexity or doubt. The twenty-two room addition to Drew, if allowed to come into being, only defers a decision which at some future time will need to be made. That decision is, of course, the question: What next shall be done? Does anyone believe that there could be still further additions to Drew? A fifty room school, perhaps? Eighty rooms? A hundred? This is no mere act of rhetoric. It is, X believe, the real question which is \\ before us. Those who say there are no other sites must review this opinion in terms \\ of future planning as well as present needs. I am inclined to believe that there are other sites. One of these, Douglas Park, has been too hastily counted out. Two others might take some time to procure. The School Board has declared itself, by its action of October 19th, as prepared to carry out its plans for an addition to Drew at once if the Bond Issue for this purpose should carry. That leaves no space for reviewing any alternatives, and in view of the position taken by the Board, I shall have to do what I have never in all my life done before - vote against that portion of the Bond proposal which would provide the means for building this addition to Drew. I Some will say, as the Citizen's Committee for School Improvement has said in its Chairman's letter of October 19th, that qB the presumption that the present situation is preferable to the proposed Drew addition is one to which no one but a parent of a child now attending Drew-Kemper is entitled to make. Surely there is a fallacy here. The necessity for urban renewal arises in blighted areas of many of the nation's cities. Often the owner-occupants of blighted areas feel themselves aggrieved, but this does not deter the determination of the citizenry as a whole from planning land use, setting standards, identifying hazards, and in a variety of ways passing judgment upon the plight of others in whose living circumstances the main body of voters can not participate. How bad is the present situation at Drew Kemper? Three facilities are presently in use. There is Kemper situated on the top of a steep hill, with a tiny playground area, surrounded by a high fence. The approaches are steep and the concrete steps, which comprise a side-walk approach, look extremely hazardous. The building is relatively ugly and its c o m e r stone reports that it was built in 192i(, although its general look of deterioration suggests aiflSsE older structure. Then there is Drew, about two blocks away, on a gentle slope which rises steeply at the rear of the land site, and falls off to a relatively flat playground area. Constructed as a six-room annex to Kemper, only seventeen years ago, it received an addition of three classrooms, a multi-purpose room, a Clinic, a kitchen and a teacher's room nine years agos six more classrooms and an office were added �-5three years ago. Drew_does .not make a good impression. _ Its original structure seems more a d e quateiyTJSItTEn'TSs more recent additions. It is hard to believe that it is not substantially older than the record shows. It might be seriously asked if something would not be gained by clearing the site and starting over again. The third unit in the district is Drew Annex. Of all the physical structures, this is far and away the most substantial~in3'^EEe' most attractive, though it has rela tively small land space around it, and it is afflicted by proximity to the Shirley Highway with its constant imposition of traffic noises. Surely there is ground for concern and good reason to hold that substantial planning needs to be done for the future. The present situation is not defensible for very long. We should feel a sense of urgency to labor for a sound solution, but the situation does not seem sufficiently critical to force upon the county at this moment a solution which is in any degree dubious. A School Board member^ tried to reopen discussion of the Douglas Park site on October 19th. He did not succeed and the Board voted its intention to use the proceeds of its $950,000 Bond issue, if approved at the polls for the Drew-Kemper enlargement, let us examine Douglas Park, briefly. If one looks at this land site from the vantage point of the highway below, which borders the railroad track along Four Mile Run, the upward reach is formidable, visually accentuated by tall trees, and the way in which Walter Reed Drive so steeply climbs the hill. But wandering about on the tract of land itself can be a substantially reassuring experience. Its sharpest fall comes at two points, neither one of which works against an aesthetically interesting use of land. Of these two areas of sharpest slope, one occurs in a stretch that Architect Hillyard Robinson had not contemplated including in his land use layout at all, the portion of the hill that is most adjacent to the railroad. The other area of steepest slope accross where Pollard Street now dead-ends, which again is not a hazard on Mr. Robinson's plans. Mr. Robinson's campus plan for a school at this spot seems interesting and feasible, but is not the only interesting possibility, I notice, for example, that Montgomery County has chosen a semi-circular three story design for a new school on a sloping site, to give ground level ingress and egress for both the first and second floors. Such a solution could be attractive, too, and would preserve more land for recreational use. KiW-k.. A major obstacle to the use of Douglas Park, in the judgment of the School Board, has been not only the terrain, but the problem of Pollard Street separating the available existing playground and the proposed school site. Pollard Street is in itself, terminated in about two blocks. It could be reached by 22nd Street with no more hazard than prevails throughout the county for most domiciles. If it must be preserved as a street with an entrance from Walter Reed Drive, it could be furnished with a foot bridge or a pedestrian underpass. Such things have been known elsewhere at no extraordinary expense and often with attractive designj One wonders at the lack of prideful use of Arlington's distinguished terrain. ^ It can be utilized as an asset of great strength and beauty, but it requires adaptation. The existing Drew School strives to be what it cannot suitably be in relation to its own hillside. The projections of which I have so far heard for adding wings do not reveal any improvements in its styling. This is indeed a pity. If I were more than an on-looker, and had a share in the planning, a role that is surely reserved for residents of longer tenure, I'd speak out earnestly for a long-range program of study and research on the natural beauties of Arlington's terrain, and the challenging opportunity which here exists for imaginative and beautiful solutions to the use of land, for private as well as public purposes. ': " �- 6- Too many people seem to be obsessed with utilitarian attitudes. The results of this, in the long run, are likely to be distressfully unattractive and thereby unneces sarily costly. This may be in part the reason why we are, at this moment, i n such a tight situation. Kemper, Drew, and -Dally-Madison not only do not adequately xsuffice, but they represent costly attempts to deal with needs hastily. Meanwhile, other land use has been removed from easy procurement in residential developments of a haphazard and unplanned sort. Before us is a decision to be made. The issues have been tightly drawn. If the citizens vote in favor of authorizing $950,000 for School Bonds,Brew will be enlarged, /sjf the Bond issue is defeated a year or two of delay in the fulfillment of any attractive plans will follow. There are those who fear that any effort to defeat a single item in a list of items will bring a defeat for all items. This may be a realistic fear. I understand the nature of the concern. I understand it so well, that I have hesitated long in stating my views. But taking all of the many concerns and considerations into account, I must state my personal conviction, that not even the impressive slogan-making, which calls the proposed Drew enlargement a "School-within- a-School" can overcome the genuine problems which can be foreseen. Something akin to this was tried in Mont gomery County with its over-size Twin Branch School with 38 classrooms and 1300 pupils. The disciplining and administrative problems which resulted have not been un-noticed. (Washington Post, January 15, 1961, Page B.) In the midst of this question of a particular school is thrown the question of desegregation and its attendant problems. We must be mindful that many of the people who have been supporting the Drew addition are profoundly concerned about and dedicated to the undone tasks of integration. It is noticeable that the com munity for which Brew affords a central location is bounded by land limits. There are substantially Walter Reed Drive, Four Mile Run, Shirley Highway, and the Army Navy Country Club. Glebe Road divides this community, with the bulk of its resi dents occupying the hilly area to the west and a small proportion to the east between Glebe and the Army Navy Country Club. Any solution which anyone puts forth is bound to be a compromise of sorts. This always makes great difficulty in any political process for decision-making. I happen to believe that steps toward more and more integrated experiences for our children is of great value. This means that any planning toward this end will require crossing these land limits, and create a need for transportation of child ren from their immediate neighborhoods to proximate neighborhoods. Carried out as extensively as possible the Negro Community would still need and require near its center an adequate school and play facility and others, on its perimeter. There would at best be a school, or cluster of schools, which would primarily, if not entirely, serve Negro children. If we are to serve these children well, we must take account of their need and our responsibility to provide the most favorable environment which can possibly be devised. Small classes, the best counselling and remedial talent which can be mustered, individual attention to intellectual and emotional capacities, that each child can be helped to achieve to the utmost of his potential. It is important at this stage of our community life that we help these children and their parents to gain competence and fulfillment in partial compensation for lingering effects of the old order. Drew enlargement, then, fits into the question of desegregation not so much as a symbol of victory for the old idea of "separate but equal." It fits instead as a partial failure to envisage the full measure of our opportunity and our responsi bility. �We can make substantial progress in an interim year toward devising a better solution if we support wholeheartedly all other items that are before us for which new Bond issues are needed. The health, welfare, and progress of the community largely depends on a favorable vote for everything else other than the School enlargement. If the School Board should announce, as it does seem^ikely to do K/Y> in the few days remaining until November 7th, that it would be willing to defer its plans for several months of review and re-appraisal, I would not stand against it. But, as of this moment, and with greatest pain, I, for one, must vote NO. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Most items also appeared on the bond issue voted down by voters in i960. Programming of street and sidewalk improvements and other capital outlays generally has been based on the assumption that there will be a new bond issue every other year. Since it has been 3J years since the last successful bond issue, we are by no means operating at the optimum rate of progress for a community with so many unmet needs. The Arlington LWV has studied, reached consensus on, and favored every item of every bond issue to come up during its lifetime with the single exception of last year’s schools proposals. We failed to reach a consensus on DreewKemper. Areas in which the League has been most active and in which it has a consensus of general support are libraries and open space and these are fairly well represented in the present bond issue. If the voters approve, the county will have authority to issue bonds to construct three new branch libraries where the county already owns the land for the buildings. For land acquisition, the proposal is for $500,000 - far below the $1 million suggested by the Planning Commission and the $1.5 million asked by the CivicFederation. On this one item particularly, the League will, need to inform voters of the scarcity of land available for any public purpose and the urgency of acquiring it immediately. The storm sewer, sidewalk and highway projects, as well as additional or improved fire fighting facilities, are on the county’s priority list of things that need to be done. This bond issue will not take care of all the urgent needs, by any means - only those which in the county's judgment, are most urgent. Schools money is the icy slope down which the whole bond issue could skid to defeat. The Drew-Kemper problem, and the controversy about it have been widely publicized. There seem to be two general points of view: l) Four of the five School Board members and their adherents want to build a new school to house upper elementary classrooms, plus adding three classrooms to the original Drew building and using that building for lower elementary classrooms Advantages seen by this group are that nearly all the attendance area would be within walking distance and would not involve crossing major highways, that separating upper and lower elementary classes is educationally sound, that dost would not be prohibitive, and that the classroom plant resulting would be adequate. 2) Opponents to this plan, including one School Board member, say that the site would perpetuate segregation, and the plant would be inadequate If the voters vote against this part of the issue, the children in Green Valley will struggle along for at least another two years in the three schools they now occupy. However, the rest of the bon issue deals with county-wide needs that shouldn' - or can't - wait any longer. The League can do the community a service by pointing out that the items on the issue can be voted on separately and do not need to stand or fall together* � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

We knew that the school was crowded and that the situation required prompt action, but we wondered whether an addition to the present school was the best - or the only - solution. We studied all the material we could obtain about the school and the School Board's proposals and we explored a number of possible alternatives, such as transfer of some students and re-dividing school districts. We came to the conclusion that the most desirable solution would be to build a new school at a different location. Our objective was two-fold: first, to persuade the School Board and the members of the entire community that an addition to the Drew School was undesirable and second, to present a concrete proposal for solving the problem, by recommending a more desirable site and showing that this site could be used to build a school which would be a credit to the community. Then began the job of finding a suitable site for a new school. Some of our members made a tour of the entire Drew School district; they found only two sites in the area which would not require the removal of existing homes: a site east of Glebe Road, on South 18th Street (includ ing a portion of the Army-Navy Country Club property) and one known as Douglas Park, surrounded by South Walter Reed Drive, South Four-Mile Run Drive and South Pollard Street. Members of our organization made an intensive examination of these two sites, visiting them, taking pictures, studying the physical aspects of the land and the location of the students affected. We concluded that the site on South 18th Street was unsatisfactory for several reasons, but primarily because the school population in the area was largely concentra ted west of Glebe Road. We were aware that the uneven topography of the Douglas Park site might cause some objections to its use for a school. Before recommending this site, we asked several architects to look at the site and give us their reactions, which were favorable. 1 During this period, our members made frequent trips to the Court House and the School Administration building to purchase maps, and get reports and other materials providing information about the school dis tricts, enrollment, expenditures, standards and so forth. We also sought and obtained from other sources information about elementary schools - op timum size, construction plans and standards and similar material. �At the meeting of the School Board on April 21, i960, we submitted a statement and a detailed memorandum setting forth our reasons for oppos ing further expansion at the Drew School site. We pointed out that the Drew School was already the largest elementary school in Arlington, far above the average in the County and elsewhere; that the Drew site was al ready inadequate and that new rooms here would mean removal of badly needed homes and recreation space. We urged the Board not to put addi tional rooms at the Drew site, and suggested instead the construction of a new school on the Douglas Park site. This report was followed by a let ter to the School Board on May 7, indicating that a certified architect had confirmed the possibilities of building a school on the Douglas Park site. We repeated our belief that two schools with about 600 pupils each would be superior to one with 1200 pupils. On May 16, the Association's Executive Committee issued a statement to the membership, urging support of the school bond issue. At the June meeting of the Association, the members approved expenditure of a modest sum of money to help pay the cost of having an architect prepare sketches of a school for the Douglas Park site. We were fortunate to have the vol untary services of Byrd and Bryant Associates and a distinguished archi tect, Mr. Hilyard Robinson, as a consultant. In July, the Association was informed by Superintendent Reid that the School Board's architects felt that a school should not be built at the proposed site for two reasons: (l) the cost of grading required to construct a building and play field would be more than at the Drew site, and (2) the property itself would probably cost $50,000 more than the ne cessary property at the Drew School site. Our members then went to work to gather the material necessary for the architects to make their sketches - maps, topographical surveys, prop erty lines, acreage and location of utilities in the Douglas Park area. In August, we requested permission to present the sketches to the School Board. Permission was granted, and the sketches were presented at a spe cial meeting of the School Board on September 26, i960, at the Drev-Kemper School. Using color slides, Mr. Hilyard Robinson showed a series of de tailed sketches, studies and plans specifically adapted to the Douglas Park site. The proposal was for a m o d e m , campus -cluster type school which would take full advantage of the natural beauty of the land and the exist ing play field in the area, at a cost within the Arlington County standard of $13 to $lk per square foot for elementary school construction. The plans are imaginative and attractive and include not only class rooms, but also a library and other community facilities now lacking in the area. One of the outstanding advantages of the proposed school was that if the project had been acted upon favorably and promptly, parts of �the school could have been ready for occupancy in September, 1961, and the entire project by February, I9S2. In the meantime, we had arranged for two members of the School Board to visit the Douglas Park site and make their own estimate of the possibilities of the site for a new school. After the architect's presentation, the Central Arlington Civic Association offered to show the slides to any interested groups or organizations and to answer their questions about the proposal. This entire project has required a substantial outlay of time, energy and money by the Central Arlington Civic Association and its members, and by the architects who contributed so generously of their skill and time. Our motives throughout have been to accomplish two things: to find the best solution for the overcrowding at the DrewKemper School, and to inform members of the entire community of the facts, so that they could have a voice in the decision involving the expenditure of more than $1^ million of their tax money. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
