Naming OF the Curtis School Building.
NJ, The J,{unr

In recent issue of THE REPUBLICAN l
noticed an inquiry by II contributor, under
the name of Citizen" asking why the name
of Curtis" is affixed to one of the public
school buildings in Georgetown, and the
question is asked in way to reflect upon
those who designated that name as well upon
Mr.. Curtis The name was affixed to that
building by vote of the trustees of the pub
lie schools, in the year 1915, upon its compile
ton, and this action was taken in recognition
of the zeal and successful efforts of Mr.. Curtis
in accomplishing the erection of that build
ing. 1t was upon my own motion that this
act was carried through without any manifest
opposition, except from Mr.. Curtis himself,
the honored president of the board and upon
whose opposition alone final action was de-
layed more than three months. This act is
no more invidious to tho many noble sons of
Georgetown, living or dead, than was the
naming of the Walach school building east
of the capitol, invidious to the many worthy
citizens and mayors of the city of Washington.

PITTBURG, May 1.-THE Miners In.

The regular hour. After the usual open.

which will be TO Immediately inquire into
any trOnble that may exist IN any
locality, and ascertain the cause Of
the trouble and Its effect upon the whole
and be governed accordingly.
Secretary Flannery, Of the pittsburg
Miners Assooiatian, offered an amendment
authorizing the Executive Board 10 make
provisions for the maintenance of strike

amendment provoked lengthy discussion.

resolution ordering an assessment OF five

cost the miners about 100000, and that
sum Is also a loss OF so much trade Ito the
merchants, hence their soicitude TO end
the trouble. Mr.. Crabb gave them little
encouragement, however, and they will
probably appeal to the miners.

explains that certain railroad companies
holding land certificates made surveys OF
alternate school sections and had fled some

surveys were not valid come forward and
propose to purchase lands under what Is
known as the fifty per cent. law, and have
tendered full payment for the lands they
desired, including the alternate school
sections with railroad sections. The last
