NIGHT SCHOOLS CLOSE;
PROMOTIONS ORDERED
Authorities Obliged by the
Lack of Funds to Disc0n-
tinue instruction.

The public night schools Of the District
OF Columbia, which did not end their ses-
sions last Friday. will close this evening
with appropriate exercises.
It was at first deemed advisable to
close some Of the schools earlier than
they were closed last year and keep
others open longer. The money which
would have been saved from the early
closing Of several would have been used
to keep the others going. 1t is on &C.
count of lack Of funds that the schools
are compelled to close. After considera-
ton local school authorities decided that
it would be best to close them all at
about the same date.
