You may strike the right place as a

their time on the downstream side
OF sunken logs or under shelving

dropped in such a place will often

CITIZENS IN FIGHT TO
SAVE WESTERN HIGH

A campaign for an immediate appro-
priation for repairing Western High
School. or the construction Of new
building. was launched ov the George
town Citizens Associations today.
Members of the executive, legislative.
and schools committees are prepared to
go before Congress n aid and supple
ment the efforts Of the Commissioners
tn secure funds for replacing the build
ing. which was burned out by a fire
mere than Two weeks ago.
At the meeting Of the association last
night. President Lectrh and other mem
bCrs declared that the school work was
disorGanizcd through the dissolution of
classes and that citizens Of Georgetown.

available. This might mean, it was
pointed out, the loss of an entire cshool
year by som. pupils.
Glasses Broken Up.
President Leetch complimented the
prompt effort of the school authorities
to care for the classes, but he declared
dissolution of classes and scattering
of pupils was necessary under the cir
cumstances
Not only have the years high school
classes been disorganiZed, he said but
through the placing of high school
classes in grade school buildings. it had
been necessary to disorganize some OF
the grade classes to make room. Pupils
from the Fillmore schools were sent to

ings."
. DIR. Alexander S. S.euart warned that
the problem was a serious one, as the
tendency in Congress was toward con-
centration of the high schools of the
city, as evidenced by the new normal
school and new Central High School
He declared that II the Western High
school was abandoned for a year il was
probable that il never would be rebuilt,
and that its pupils would be sent to the
new Central or some other school.
Condemn Board Fence. /
The association went on record last
night as favoring abolition of high
board fences. The executive commit
tee was empowered to draw suitable
re esolutions for presentation TO the Com
missioners and Congress providing for a
plan of open back yards with low open
fences, making each square Enclosure a
