TRAIN HAND AND EYE.
New Vocational School Will
sc Opened Monday.
WILL BE THIRD OF ITS KIND
Carpentry, Household Management,
Dressmaking and Millinery
Will Be Taught.

Vocational training in the District will
be given an impetus when the new pub
lie vocational school on o street between
North Capitol and 1st streets opens Mon
day.
This will be the third school of it's kind
to be opened in the District. In the
opinion of some of the school ffcials
these schools fill long felt want. The
new school, like the Cardozo building. is
for colored pupils. The Wisconsin Ave-
nue. School is for white boys only. So
far greater demand for vocational train
ing has come from the colored people
than the white
The new building will be directly under
the direction of Roscoe c. Bruce, assist
ant superintendent in charge of colored
schools, and will be used as a manual
training center as well as a vocational
school. A part of it will be devoted to
teaching manual training to the pupils of
the graded schools who take it only as a
minor study.
Subjects to Be Taught.
The three vocations which will be
taught at the o street institution and
those who will be in charge Of those
classes are: Carpentery, o. w. McDon-
oAo' houSeHoiu management, MRS. julia
W. Shaw. and dressmaking and milli-
merry, Miss A. D. Jones. All are assistant
directors in the public schools of the sub
]ects of which they will be in charge.
Glasses will be open for young men
and women as well as the children of the
graded schools. Special arrangements
Will be made for pupils who work half a
day.
The new building contains eight rooms
ana basement. 1t is described as a
substantial structure, well adapted for
the purpose. Capt. James F. Oyster
president of the board of education
Henry r Blair. member of the board
Dr. w. NJ Davidson, superintendent OF
schools; Ernest l.. Thurston, assistant
superintendent in charge of white
| schools. and r. c. Bruce assistant SUI
perintendent IN charge of colored schools
inspected it recently.
Work Handicapped.
Although the results at the Wisconsin
Avenue and the Cardozo schools were
satisfactory last year, the work at the
latter building was seriously handicap
ped by the fact that the electric connec
tions have not yet been made by the
District government although this is the
second year of the schools existence
Some of the machinery has been unused
and the plans for the night school there
have been given up. No power is avail
able at present for either machinery Oh
lights. The wiring is completed and al
remains to be done is to have the proper
connections made. The school heads
have requested that this be done. The
matter may be taken up with the board
of education.

Plans for Central High School
on Larger Scale.
PROBABLE COST, 81, 200, 900
Agreement Reached by Commission.
ers and Board of Education,
ESTIMATES FOR CONGRESS
New Building for Park View Suburb
Among the Items to Be
Recommended.

Washinstn's new Central High School,
to be erected at 18th and Clifton streets
northwest, will cost $1,2O0,O00. if Con-
gress approves Of an agreement reached
at conference yesterday between the
District Commissioners and members
of the board of education.
The appropriation to be requested with
which to commence work on the struc-
ture will, it is understood. be 100000.
1t is expected that if the appropriation
is allowed at this session the school
can be completed within eighteen months
or two years.
Harmony prevailed at the conference
between the Commissioners and school
officials. the session lasting five hours
and terminating in the school estimates
for next year being brought within the
So, 100000 limit allotted by the Commits
sioners.
New Building for Park View.
One of the decisions reached, it is
school building in Park View of either
twelve or sixteen rooms capacity. Last
year an eight-room building was urged
for this section.
When the Commissioners last year ask
which to begin work on a new Central
High School building they contemplated
structure capable of accommodating
800 pupils and to cost approximately
$500, 600. Congress decided that the ca
pacity of the proposed building should
be increased to $500 pupils.
This called for an enlargement of the
plans and is the basis of the decision
reached for an expenditure of $1,000 Cox
on the new building. Tentative plans and
estimates for the structure were pre-
Ashford and w. T. Ittner, an architect OF
st. Louis, Mo.
The site for the school structure is
about COO feet square. but only half OF
this space will be required for the build
ing. 1t is proposed to convert the ground
remaining into an athletic field.
Total of Estimates, SO, 100, 900.
The school estimates. totaling 50, 100000
will constitute the largest budget Of any
department of the District of Columbia
government to be carried in the estimates
| for next year.
Residents of Park View petitioned the
school board to provide a sixteen-roon
building for that section, and. 1t is un
lderstood, the request either will be fully
complied with compromise agree
ment will be reached for the erection OF
twelve-room building.
The Commissioners today are giving g
hearing to the members of the board OF
charities with a view to completing the
estimates of that branch of the District
service. 1t is understood that the maxi
mum amount which has been allowed the
charities board is $1,25O.OOO.

Gen. James Allen. chief signal officer
Of the army and head of the aviation
squad of the service. returned to the War
Department today from three-month
vacation. All the army aviators called
to pay their respects.
Although none of the government aero

this week out of respect to Lieut.. l.. Z.
Rockwell. who was killed there last Sat-
urday, the tests of the Wright ma chine
that have been ordered for the army are
being continued and the Moisant mono
plane that has been taken there for the
inspection of the army officers has made
some flights, being piloted by Harold
Kantner and Miss Bernetta Miller.
Two Have Passed Tests.
OF the four Wright machines that have
been delivered at College Park. two
have passed the three government tests
and have been accepted. These tests
are for speed. an endurance flight of
two hours and a climbing speed of 200
feet minute The two small scout
machines have both been tried. and one
of them has passed its speed and en-
durance tests, but the other has not yet
fulfilled any of the requirements.
william Kabitzke. who is demonstrate
ing the little scouting Wrights. started
on an endurance flight yesterday. He
had been up thirty-fOur minutes when
he had engine trouble at a height Of
2.tA0 feet. and had to glide down.

forced to make a landing on the far side
of the field. where the ground is rough.
He broke some Of his landing gear, but

Little Scouts Different.

The little scouting biplanes with which
the army is experimenting are SO much
smaller than the slower machines and
are required to climb at SO much faster
rate that they have a decidedly different
climbing and gliding angle from the big
aeroplanes. One Of the small machines
has had a clinometer attached to one
stanchion to indicate to the aviator the
angle the machine Is taking In the air.
This is a variation of some OF the safety
appliances in use on army planes abroad.
