Harry o. Hine, who wears only the mid
title Of secretary Of the Board Of EdU-
cation to express his muiutudinous
duties, is up against II.
His merry smile, that has won for
him the psuedonym of Happy" Hine,
came OF today.
It Is a question Of shades.
Unless Mr.. Hine can evolve some solu-
ton OF the weighty problem OF how to
get Holland No. rs here Is quick
time, despite the fact that these par
ticular shades don't seem TO be on the
market any more, the public schools will
go with tattered window shades this
winter.
Last spring the Board OF Education
decided TO take of Mr.. Hines shoulders
one small iota Of worry, and undertook
10 prescribe what sort of window shades
were best suited TO the optical welfare
and esthetic growth Of the pupils.
The question was referred TO the
Health Department. and the authorities

SPANISH DROPPED
DURING SEMESTER

Spanish viii not be introduced during
the first semester in the courses Of any
of WashingtOn's high schools.
With this announcement today by
Prof. Arnold SpanhOOfd. head Of the
modern language department in the
high schools, comes a complaint Of
dearth Of teachers, in the language de-
partment Of the high school system.
LAS much as we would like 10 intro
dUce the language this year" said Prof
6panhoofd, 1T viii be impossible 10 do
so, because Of the small number Of Ian
guage teachers. We have not enough
teachers for the German and French
classes now. and while several teachers
are qualified to teach Spanish, they have
not the time to do so
It was especially hoped that the new
course might be introduced at Business
this year in connection with the new
four-year course.
There may be a possibility Of re-
arranging teachers in mid-year so that
the study can be taken up said Prin-
ciDal Allan Davis OF Business today,
but the course cannot be introduced
before that time
There are a number Of applicants for
Spanish in all the high schools.

EASTERN TO KEEP
ITS CADET COMPANY

The report that Eastern High School
would put no cadet company in the field
because of the small number of boys en-
rolled at the school was denied today.
The boys enrolled there number Us,
it was said, and under the rule making
enlistment in the cadets compulsory IN
less there Is physical disability, it Is be
lieved the Eastern School will have one
of the strongest cadet organizations IN
its history.
Instructions have been sent TO princl-
pals by Assistant Superintendent of
Schools P. NJ Hughes, calling their at
tention TO the act Of Congress which
went into effect last year making en-
listment in the cadets compulsory.
Last year a number of boys, il is said
escaped military duty by requests of
their parents Such requests brought in
this year will be investigated and the
school officials Will make sure that
there is good cause for excusing pupils
from service in the corps.

the dying down of the forces Of re-
