A controversy over school funds at

defence of the Gary system, with their
fat refusal TO transfer any funds for
general school purposes which had
been specified for the remodelling Of
schools for the work, study and play
system.
President Bowling of the Board Of
Aldermen offered a resolution provid-
ing that the Sll 100000 which had been
set aside for Gary school purposes be
transferred TO q general school fund
for the acquisition OF new sites and
the construction Of new schools. His
resolution was promptly defeated.

10000 Halifax Pupils
Get Indefinite Leave
25 Schools of City Closed
Down Because of Wide
spread Blast Damage

HALIFAX, Dec. 2f.-An indefinite
vacation has been granted to nearly
10000 pupils in the twenty-five public
schools here because Of the widespread
damage TO school buildings resulting
from the explosion Of an ammunition
ship in the harbor on December ..
I. was estimated to-day that the loss
on these structures would exceed ST.
100000.
In the north end, where the brunt
of the blow fell. new buildings will be
erected. The Chebucto and Alexandra
schools, near the ruined area, which
were partly wrecked. were converted
into morgues, from which all uGidentl-
fed bodies have not yet been removed.
The 200 teachers, deprived of regular
employment, volunteered in body to
assist in general relief work.

In d ustrials
Cotton

on the earlier trading yesterday the
attention of cotton brokers centred on
the situation in December contracts.
More notices were issued than on any
previous day tsis month, but they did
not exceed 5000 bales, and the Decem-
Der delivery sold up to 3O.72 on cover
ing by shorts. This made an advance
of % points over Thursdays closing
prices and new high record for the
season. As soon as the demand Tor
December subsided, however, the mar
ket as a whole turned easier under
realizing sales and the close was easy
at net losses Of 4 to 27 points.
Trading in December contracts VIII
end at noon on Monday, which VIII be
the last notice day. For a time yester-
day December sold at premium OF
100 points over January, and brokers
expressed belief that any further Wild
cning OF the differences might lead 70
retcndering Of some cotton taken ear
lier in the month. At any rate, the
premium seemed sufficient to ease the
situation TO some extent, and Decem-
Der closed at the low point of the day,
although it held 95 points above Janu-
ary. Later deliveries were relatively
easy during the entire day and showed
the maximum declines at the close.
Reports Of an easier spot situation
were circulated late in the afternoon,
but selling was mostly in the late
months.
Southern spot markets, as officially
reported. were unchanged TO % points
higher, generally unchanged. The visi-
BE supply Of American showed an in
crease Of only 6,239 bales for the week,
against a decrease Of 9.114 last year
and an increase Of GS,O68 two years
