The younger Knox and his bride ar.

Then the young man sought his father.
Apparently the interview did not re-

on leaving his father that he was pre-

1T was a big surprise TO my father

said:

Before Knox's arrival here mystery
surrounded his whereabouts. and II
was reported yariously that he had
stopped over in Baltimore, that he had
gone TO Philadelphia and that he was
at the family home at Valley Forge.
This mystery was caused by the

WANT CUSTOM CHANGED.
Separate Commandments Desired
by High School Graduates.

The committee representing the high
and normal schools Of the District of
Columbia is to give report at the meet
ing of the board of education next We'd
nesday regarding the petitions Of the
Central, Eastern and Western High
Schools to hold separate commandments
this year.
The graduating classes of these schools.
through their principals. recently sent
petitions TO the board OF education asking
for the change from the present method.
1t is held by the students that the Bust
ness and Mckinley Manual Training
Schools have their graduating exercises
separately. in a local theater, and that
the present method, which has been in
vogue tor years. wherein the other high
schools held joint exercises at Convention
Hall, is not satisfactory.
1t is contended that the graduating
class at the Central High School this
year will be nearly two hundred, and that
the Eastern and Western schools will
have nearly that many more, SO that a
large platform will have to be erected in
Convention Hall to seat the 400 or more
graduates. 1t is also held that much con-
fusion is caused at the joint exercises.
