Prof j. T. Jafney, superintendent OF
schools for THE Gsprgetown district. in an
interview with a Star reporter today stated
that the attendance at the fall term of the
pubic schools would be the largest in its
history. So many applications for admit
lance had been made. he said. that the
present school buildings will be Inadequate
The regular school term opens Monday, and
the buildings are being thoroughly renovat-
ed for occupancy.
Prof. Janney said 1t will be necessary to
inaugurate halliday third grades in order to
enroll as many pupils as have applied for
admission. During the past two years per-
sistent efforts have been made on the part
of Prof. Janney and his co-laborers to Sc
cure the building OF larger and more COM
modious structures. The proposition for the
erection of an additional public school In
georgetown was approved Dy the Distflct
Commissioners some time ago. but so far
Congress has failed to make the necessary
appropriation. At the coming session or
Congress the necessity for another building
in Georgetown will be urged and an appro-
priation for such building Is confidently
hoped for.
1t is also pointed out that the Manual
Training School. located on High street,
near 33d street, which was condemned sew
eral years. is still being used for education
al purposes. Efforts are being made to have
the present building replaced with more
modern structure
Trinity Parish Hall.
Trinity Parish Hall is soon to be con-
structed on the site of the present Trinity
school building. The present structure,
which is referred to as the home OF Cathol-
cism in the District, will be torn down.
and the innumerable legends regarding the
old place will be the only thing left to serve
as reminder of the ancient structure.
Plans drawn by the architect first located
the building at 36th and streets north
west. but decision was finally reached to
have the building constructed on the old
site. Designs for the new building were
drawn by Architect Won Herbulis, and the
building when completed will be thoroughly
up to date and modern in its appointments.
