MENACE TO LIFE.
Trees in Curtis School Grounds to Be
Removed

The board of education has referred to
the Commissioners a communicate. re-
ceived by the board from b. Il. Janney,
one of the supervising principals, in which
he states that the trees in the Curtis
school yard endanger the lives of the chill
dren attending the school, because of the
falling of limbs from the trees. He sug-
gested that they be removed from the yard.
In his report on the matter Mr.. 7. Lam
ham, superintendent OF parking. states that
the trees in question consist of seven Caro-
lima poplars and one paper mulberry"
All of the poplars. he says. are tail and
dangerous, affording but little shade. while
the mulberry is very poor specimen of
its kind. He recommends that the entire
number be removed and that seven Amer
lean elms be planted in their stead, and
that the cost of the same be charg ed against
the appropriation for care of school build
fngs and grounds
Engineer Commissioner Biddie approves
the last recommendation in case the board
of education authorizes the. change sug-
gested by the superintendent of parking.

Branchers. This game is the first game
that the Baltimore boys have lost in their
own gymnasium for a couple of years, SO

the fast clean and accurate passing of the
Washington team. and to this feature more
than anything else the victory was due
