are assigned to other divisions in the bat
talon.
Chief Quartermaster Davis for nearly
an hour and a half last Thursday night
took these young men and instructed
them in naval work. Three new men
more indicated that they would sign the
papers next Thursday. The officers are
very much encouraged at the numbers
in which young men are enlisting in the
battalion. and they announced their in
tention of making it as pleasant as pos
sible for those who enlist and abide by
the naval rules and regulations. 1t is the
hope of all of the officers to recruit the

OYSTER FAMINE AVERTED.
Three Loaded Craft Make Way to
Capital Through Ice.

Three oyster-laden craft. the schooners
Silver Wave, Idelia A. Moore and the
power boat Louise Virginia, succeeded
in making their way UP to Alexandria
through the ice, and yesterday were
brought to this city and berthed at the
11th street wharf. Their arrival, when
the supply of oysters at the wharf was
practically exhausted, prevented famine
in oysters.
The Moore, which loaded her oysters
in the lower Potomac, it is stated. has
aboard about Geo bushels: the Louise Vlr-
ginia, which came from the mouth OF the
Rappahannock river, brings about 800
bushels and the Silver Wave has ABOARD
over 1000 bushels. 1t Is stated that there
are several oyster-laden boats at Co
Ionial Beach and in the Wicomico river,
whose masters are afraid to attempt to
sail their boats to this city, and 1t IS
probable il ice conditions on the river do
not improve a tugboat will be sent down
liver early this week to bring them here
The short supply Of oysters is Keeping
nrices for Potomac river stock above 30
cents a bushel wholesale.

A circular which Mr.. Saunders distrib-
utes to :he interested pupils says. i'll part:
Many pupils are unable To continue
their schooling as far as they should like
because of dependents al home and Tor
other reasons. These pupils drop out oil
school and drift aimlessly about work
ing here and there for small wages be
cause they are not trained in any woi
which would bring them decent wages.
The vocational school gives such students
training in a particular Understanding
which will enable them to demand wages
sufficient to support themselves and those
dependent upon them.
1t Is said that the talks have been of
interest not only to the pupils. but also
to the teachers. who have been able TO
get first hand Just what the work and
purposes of the vocational school are.
'Oficials of the public schools have long
felt the need of eqhipping pupils unable
to continue their high and elementary
school courses with some knowledge
which would enable them when they
leave school to meet the demands of
everyday life" says Mr.. Saunders. ITO
