Summit Notes

School Superintendent Clinton S.
Marsh is preparing data to be sub
mitted to the committee on instruc-
ton of the Board of Education, which
committee is authorized to arrange
for the opening of the summer school
If it deems it advisable. The classes
will start probably after July and
there will be four-hour session daily
five days each week. Besides the
backward pupils there are a number
of pupils who because of absence
from the city illness or other causes
will be unable to attain promotion to
higher grades at the close of the pres
ent year, but by attendance at the
summer classes will reach the higher
at the opening of the next school
year.
A number of important matters are
TO come up for consideration at Mon
day nights meeting of the Board or
Trade, among the most interesting
probably the questions of advertising
SUBMITS attractions as residential
municipality, and whether the Friday
night land concerts and the annual
Fourth of July safe and sane celebra-
ton are to be held this year. As told
in the Evening Star some weeks ago
the concerts will not likely be given
this summer because of the seeding Of
the eastern portion of the public park
where the bandstand is located. The
campaign for raising s125,000 for the
purchase of Overlook Hospital is to
start Wednesday, and 1t is not be-
lieved that those who have con-
tributed in past years toward the con-
cert and Fourth of July funds will
care to do so this year. as they will be
called on to aid the hospital project.
1t is possible something in the way of
a small celebration for the children in
the morning, baseball and other
games in the afternoon and a small
public display of fireworks in the
evening may be provided by the
Board of Trade for July 4. Last night
the new president of the board, C. II.
