THE CITY ITS OWN CREDITOR.

Alderman Vests idea OF investing
the citys sink ng fund in Newport
News bonds seems to be an exec =
lent one. Heretofore the sinking
fund" money has been deposited IN
banks to draw interest at the rate OF
3 o. 3k per cent. The bonds MIR.
West proposes to have the city pur-
chase pay AZ per cent interest an
nualy, so If $4,000 of the sinking
fund" money is invested in the bonds
the city will clean up from 800 TO
$3.50 annually on the change. If the
pl-ns of the present council are car
ried out. the sinking fund" will grow
TO considerable proportions during
the wears to Gene. and the saving OF
$3.50 may grow into Il saw ng of $500
or more annually.
We are not prepared to say what
the effect of Mr.. Vests plan would be
upon the city's standing in the imam
cial world. However. il would seem
that the city hardly could hurt its
credit by purchasing its own bonds.
When we are anxious To become our

Operations in Stocks Reduced

NO NEED FOR COMPULSORY
EDUCATION HERE.

There Is no need for q compulsory
education law in Newport News. Ac-
cording to the school census report
recently submitted TO the board Oh
schcci trustees. about so per cent oil
all the children OF school age in the
city are enrolled in public OF private
schccls. The school age Is from
to - years, and when we consider
the number of youths and young
women of from II to 10 years OF age
who are at work. ii appears that
practicaily all Of the city's Oh id'en.
white and black. are in the schools.
This is an extraordinary, an astound-
ing state OF affairs. Superintendent
Jenkins expresses the opinion that
no city In the State and probably
none in the country can show bet
ter record. We doubt seriously that
any city in the country has record
as gccd.
Another unusual and interesting
feature OF the local school situation
is the remarkably large percentage OF
the school population enrolled in the
public schools, Seventy per cent
of all the children attend the pubic
schools, only about POO of more than
900 being enrolled in private insti-
t1tions. The reason fer this is OBJ
vious. There are no white private
schools in the city except the two
excellent Catholic academies. one for
boys and one for girls. maintained by
the Hawaiian Brothers. About lSc
children are enrolled in these SchSc,s,
and Is negroes asc enrolled in a col
ored private school All the rest &c

FRENCH GETS CONTRACT
Popular Local Man To Construct The
Foundation Work For New Athletic
Grand Stand

Mr.. William N. French, of this
city, was today awarded the contract
for the erection of the concrete foun-
daion work for the new steel and
conci etc grandstand to be built on
the new athletic field at the Naval
Academy.
The contract was awarded to Mr..
French by the Navy Athletic Asso-
citation at his bid of $4,000. The
whole stand, with the steel super
structure, will cost approximately
$22, 900 when completed, according to
the present Eplans and specifica-
tions. 1t will be built just at the
end of Sampson Row, facing toward
the Severn River.
Beneath the seats, which will
accommodate about 5000 persons,
will be two thoroughly modern sets
of dressing rooms with hot and
cold showers and all of the neces-
sary arrangements for the MILDLY ath-
letes and the members Of any visiting
tie ms.
Work will begin at once and it is
expected that the stands will be
ready for use by the opening of the
baseball season in the early spring.
Particular qualification is express
ed in Annapolis that the contract for
that portion of the work on which
bids have already been asked should
have been won by a local man, and
Mr.. French is to be congratulated on
landing the job.

SANTA CLAUS IN THE COUNTY
The Rural Free Delivery Carrier PLAYS
An important Part At This Season

The really up-to.date Santa Claus,
says the r. F. d. News, is the
rural free delivery letter carrier.
He it is who brings Christmas
presents to the farmers and their
children all over the country. One
can easily imagine with what
eagerness and delight the young
folks look forward to his coming on
the great holiday of the year.
On all other holidays the delivery
service in rural districts is suspend
ed, but on Christmas Day, by special
order of the Postoffice Department,
the carrier is obliged to make his
customary round, visiting every
dwelling on his route. AS may we'll
be supposed. his wagon is filed to
overlooking with parcels containing
gifts, 1t is a mighty big days work
for him, and he may grumble a bit
about it, but all the same he enjoys
playing Santa Claus. Very pleasant
it is to distribute the welcome bun
dies and see so many happy, smiling
faces.
Farmsteads are commonly located
at some distance from the main road
along whIch the carrier passes, and
so it often happens that the carrier
instead of stopping at a house mere
~ pauses to deposit the mail at a
box conveniently placed by the. road
side. There may, indeed, be dozen
or more such boxes at a cross-road,
representing as many different house
holds. But Cd Christmas Day the
children (whose business it is ordi-
narily to collect the mail from the
hoxes) are sure to be on hand and
waiting for the packages they so con-
fidently expect
1t is lots of fun. The carrier, too,
is not himself forgotten on this
holiday occasion. Nearly everybody
remembers him in some agreeable
and substantial manner. For he is
always popular man; everyone likes
him, and on Christmas Day especial
ly, in his capacity of Santa Claus, he
finds himself beloved. One farmers
wife has peck of apples for him /;
another, perhaps, couple of chick
ems; third, gallon of cider and a
! fourth bushel of potatoes. And so
on. The chances are that at the end
of his route, with all his parcels
delivered, he will find his wagon al
most as full as when it started.
The rural free delivery makes
Christmas for the farmer and his
family much more pleasant than it
used to be. In former days he was
obliged, in order to collect any pres
ents that might be coming, hitch up
and travel to town, making special
trip for the purpose.

SCHOOLS CLOSED TO-DAY
ChiIdreH Exchange Greetings With Teach
ers And Little Ones Get Glimpse
OF Santa Claus

Throughout Anne Arundel county
the public schools closed today, and
in the Annapolis public schools there
was quite q little celebration of
Christmas, and a general exchange
of greetings between children and
teachers.
All the school rooms were deco
rated in holly and cedar for Cnrist-
mas, and the blackboards contained
drawings of Santa Claus, the Chin
ney corner with stockings hung to
be filed, branches of holly, cedar,
etc. The large Assembly Room in
the Grammar School department
had a large Christmas tree hung
with bags of candy, toys and other
gifts.
This was the property of the kin
dergarten department, Miss Marie
Grady, teacher. The children of
the kindergarten each received a
bag of candy and some of the arti-
cles they had made during the
year, used to decorate the Christmas
tree. Santa Claus gave out the
presents, real live Santa Clau S, and
it is said, but of course no one is
certain, that one of the trustees i'm
personated the good old man.
A program of music, vocal and in
strumental, and of recitstions, read
ings, etc., was given, all bearing
upon Christmas, and a very happy
morning was spent at the city
schools.
The public schools in Anne Arundel
county will reopen on Tuesday, Jan
uary 8.
