SCHOOLS TO END FIRST
SEMESTER WEDNESDAY
Many Pupils to Continue Studies in
Higher Institutions or Go to Work.
Educational Announcements.

Public schools of the District of Co.
lumbia, as well as number of private
institutions, are to end the first half
years work Wednesday, and begin a
new term Thursday morning. This is
the season of the mid-year commence
ment-the time when many will leave
high school for college. for private
schools designed to enable youths to
find positions in the business and in
dutrial world, or to go directly to
work.
1t is the time when many eighth
grade pupils will enter high schools, or
possibly, being compelled to leave the
regular day school, go to work or con-
tinue in the private institutions either
during The day or at night.
Today The Star has large number
of mid-year educational announcements
of some of the leading private institu-
tons of learning. By the aid of this
section the boys and girls who are
planning to enter private schools, col
leges or universities easily may find
the special line of training given by
each, and easily find those schools
training for the work which they wish
to enter or to which they are best
adapted.
Although the list of those gradual
ing from the eighth grades and high
schools is by no means as large at the
end of the first semester as it is for
the half year ending in June, it num-
bers several hundred. Every high
school has some graduates. but the
lists from the Mckinley Manual Train
ing School. Central and Business High
Schools probably are the largest.
Eighth grade graduates are to be
found in every section of the city. All,
no matter what plans they have made,
no matter what they intend to do, prob
ably will find interest in the education
tal announcements in the classified ad-
vertising section of The Star today.

THINKS PRESIDENT
NEG[ECT|NG DUTY
Representative GiIIett Says He
Should Advise Congress on
Revenue Measures.
DOUBTS BALANCE SHOWING

Representative Gillett of Massachu-
sets yesterday criticised the President in
the House of Representatives for not sug-
costing to Congress some method OF
raising revenues or reducing expenses
i in order to stop the gap in the Treasury
funds. Representative Gillett said a
| law of 1909 required that when esti-
mated expenditures exceeded estimated
| revenues the President Is required to
suggest to Congress ways Of cut
| ting down appropriations or raising
| revenues.
In the same speech the Massachusetts
man presented a woeful picture of the
Treasury conditions, and quoted the
Presidents message of December, 1918
| in which a paragraph is found which
! Representative Gillett construed as
being in opposition to the authorization
| of bond issue.
Half billion dollars in extra revenue
will have to be raised through action
| in the present Congress to stop the
! growing deficit in the Treasury, said
Representative Gillett.
Greater Than Democratic Estimate.
i This huge sum is greater than the
democratic estimate by S100,000,O0O
| the difference being found, according to
Representative Gillett, in the, fact that
| there is already an actual deficit of
| SIS, 900, 900 in the Treasury instead Of a
balance of s90.00O.000.
1.-The daily Treasury statement of jan
uary a. said Mr.. Gillett, shows a
working balance in the general fund of
500, $40, 344.37. This would be a safe bal
ance If it represented that amount of
unpledged money" The sum of s51.75S.-
311, it was explained, is in that fund for
the retirement of outstanding national
bank and federal reserve bank notes that
have been assumed by the United States.
That reduces the fund to S41.S52, 033.37.
Further, $69.99s,S43.S1 has been placed
to the credit of disbursing officers.
so that instead of a general fund in
the Treasury of S93,610,344.37 on JAN
uary %, 1917, there was in reality a
deficit of s2S, 46,S1024," said Repre-
sentative Gillett.
