CITY SCHOOLS OPEN MONDAY
SUPT. T1URSTON ANNOUNCES

Janitors of all the schools which will
be supplied with coal tomorrow have
been instructed to be present at the
schools to supervise putting the coal
in the bins.
Twenty carloads of coal have been or
dered diverted from assignment to the
United States Fuel Administration to
the District dump for specified use in
the District schools. Fuel administra-
tion officials believe educational institu-
tons should receive first consideration
in coal shipments after the needs of in
dividuals in absolute need of fuel have
been supplied. Eight of these cars have
arrived in the District already. leaving
twelve cars, holding approximately $50
tons OF coal. yet to come to the District
dump for use at school buildings The
superintendent today was pleased with
the attitude taken by the Federal Fuel
Administration in getting behind the
request of school officials to divert ship
ments of coal to District use. in order
that the schools might be opened as
soon as possible. and expressed himself
as gratified with the immediate action
in hauling taken by officials in charge
of the District coal situation.

The public schools of the District of
Columbia will open Monday morning.
This was the statement today of
Superintendent of Schools Ernest L.
Thurston. Mr.. Thurston said that with
the aid of eight cars of coal, diverted
from the dump of the United States
Fuel Administration to the District
dump, exclusively for use in the public
schools of the District and not for
other District institutions, by Monday
morning all the schools will have on
hand enough coal to enable them to
open with very small danger of being
forced to close again before warm
weather sets in. The superintendent
admitted that approximately twenty
schools were without a reserve supply
of coal up to noon today, but a ship
ment of $50 tons to those schools in
urgent need of coal today and a fur
ther shipment of 200 tons tomorrow
to other schools will fill the bins. it is
believed.

Irish people like to believe that many
of the idealistic qualities of President
Wilson are traceable to his Irish ances-

that many of the good traits of charac-
ter of the American chief executive are
due to his Scottish ancestors, the Rev.
Robert Woodrow, the famous historian

with a select reading appropriate to

Mr.. S. L. Danials, the manager of
this affair has been highly compli-
mented by both white and colored for
the business-like manner in which the
entertainment was conducted. The
music which was furnished by Prof
d. N Mccoy and his company of in
comparable artists, proved so entranc-
ing that a number of the Smart Set of
white people here could not resist the
temptation and joined in with us, all
dancing and enjoying themselves with
the colored people. So delighted were
the white citizens with the music and
entertainment, that they have asked
Mr.. Daniels to give a special enter
tainment on the same order so that
they may have full possession of the
house.
After paying all expenses, which
amounted to $S515, neat little sum of
$1,000 remained and this was donated
to the Mesa Chapter of the Red Cross
society by Mr.. S. l.. Danials.
