As these orphan children are supported in foster homes by District of Columbia Welfare Department funds. we would have the anomalous situation of the District of Columbia government paying tuition to itself. Acknowledging the validity of these arguments. we were pleased to adopt the Commissioners recommendation. The Board of Commissioners final request was that this act not be construed to supersede Public Law 85384. and that language be added to assure this. The abovenamed act. enacted on April 23. 1958. provides that a maximum of 25 foreign students each year. with valid unexpired student visas. be permitted to attend the D. C. Teachers College without payment of tuition.
