MRS. ). Z. HARRIS, WILL

Directs That Husband Never Be Al
lowed To See Children Alone.
The Washington Times of Dec. IL
contained the following news item:
Bitter resentment toward her hus-
band, John e. Harris, formerly a
House Of Representatives doorkeep-
er, is shown in the will and codicil
dated November 8 and 1 o. respective
ly, of Mrs. Eva Cobb Harris, which
were offered for probate today.
Mrs. Harris gained considerable
notoriety last spring by driving from
st. Johnsbury, VT, to Washington
in an open buggy with her two
small children, following a fire which
destroyed her home.
She died November 81. In her
will she directs that her husband
never be permitted to see her two
children alone and that he be barred
from any claim to her estate. She
also urges that the Juvenile Court
compel him to support the two chill
dren, and asks that DR.. Mead Moore
be appointed guardian for them.
It is directed that forty acres of
land in Florida be sold and the pro-
ceeds be used to improve forty-eight
acres adjoining for the benefit of the
children. An insurance policy for
$1,000 is given to the daughter, ia
nette, aged eleven years, and pro-
vision is made for the care of the
boy, John C., aged four years.

This made total of 206 pupils gone out from the elementary schools into some vocation,
 There seems a need for vocational training and demand for it to accom- mod@te and offer opportunities to those 2e6 pupils lost. out of the schools.
