FOR BETTER FACILITIES.
Citizens of Petwortb Ask for School
Adynutaues.

Efforts are being made by the residents
of Petworth to have school of the first
and second grades, at least, established IN
that section. A petition from the residents
of Petworth and it's immediate vicinity,
giving the number of children needing
school facilities has been laid before Com
missioner Ross. who has approved 1t and
referred the matter to the school board.
The nearest schools to which children in
this section be sent are at Brightwood
on the north and the Monroe building on
the south. both about one mile away.
Residents of Petworth have suggested
that the building at the corner of New
Hampshire avenue and Rock Creek Church
road be rented for school purposes, as they
realize that If they are to wait until a new
building is built there their children will be
without pro Der school accommodations dur
ing the coming school year.

Save Cevera From His Friends.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
1t seems never to have occurred to any
one that the aduiation and undue HoniZing
of the brave Cervera, the offer of gifts, of
houses, etc, places him in a most unenvi-
able position with his own government. 1t
would be fatal to him should he return to
Spain if he accepts these offers, and he
would probably be embarrassed to decline.
For his own sake, apart from the servility
of his impulsive admirers, do not press this
thing. He is brave, chivalrous gentle
man. commander of our enemy's fleet, until
captured-now our prisoner Of war. Do not
degrade him by such treatment as might
be awarded to Dewey or Schley. Give him
the honor due as brave champion of his
Country's cause, but don't idealize him as
an American hero. 1t is undignified, to say
the least, in us, and will surely degrade
him in the eyes of his countrymen.

The announcement of the bicycle squad
additions and the allotment of only one

surprise. The m ember detailed for the pur-

one man the reSid ents wonder if he will be
obliged to remain on duty all of the time.
Perhaps a larger number of bicyclists pass
through Georgetown than through any
ether precinct in the city, and the demand
for more than one member of the police
bicycle squad is felt.

her small, beautifully formed feet were
