SCHOOLS NOT TO CLOSE.
Teacher Shortage No Longer Exists
MANY Apply for Positions.

Closing Of the public schools Of the
District Of Columbia within the next few
months on account of a serious shortage
Of teachers has been averted. according
to school officials. Urgent calls sent out
by the board OF education, changing Of
the marks necessary for former teachers
to be reinstated and the recent announce
ment that stated examinations will be
discontinued in favor of informal ex-
aminations have swamped the schools
with applicants for teaching positions.
Naturally there have been many appli-
cations from women entirely disqualified
by their limited training to teach in the
schools. while, on the other hand. scores
of competent teachers have been accepted.
The difficulty. believes Supt. of Schools
Ernest L. Thurston, is to sift the wheat
from the chaff, and while obtaining
enough qualified instructors to fill the
vacancies to keep the school work up to
the high standard. 1t is the opinion Of the
superintendent that many Of those apply
ing for teachers positions have vainly
tried to get employment in the govern
ment, whose need for workers is SO great
that it is taking every one capable Of
holding any sort Of position.

AseAo A0uOotlAa1 improvement.
Little Improvement was reported in
the industrial situation. fuel and labor
shortage again proving the chief handi-
caps. Output of finished products dur
Ing the week was at greatly reduced
capacity, but the railroad blockade was
In measure relieved.
Keen interest was manifested in next
Tuesdays meeting Of the United States
Steel directors. Action on the common
dividend for the last quarter of 1917
will then be taken and earnings for
that period. rounding out the year, will
be published.
Regulations imposed by the fuel ad-
ninistration, railroad embargoes and
weather. which hampered Transports
tion. were responsible for further cur
tailment Of steel production during the
past week.
Government requirements continue to
absorb almost the entire production of
mills and fabricating shops, making It
practically impossible to secure ma
terial needed for other than war pur-
poses.
Lack Of coke during all or a part Of

the only kind available in the market
until next July. a. regular contract de-

Adjusts to Conditions.

The financial community continued
this week to adjust itself to the strin-
gent conditions created by the govern
ment's fuel regulations. These condi-
tions assumed more concrete form in
the decision Of the stock exchange to
suspend business for the remaining
heatless Mondays.
Another important market factor was
the speech OF the German chancellor in
respect to peace terms.
Foreign news suggesting divergency
In the peace Views Of the Austrian and
German governments was also a fac
tor. Considerable attention was de-
voted to the railroad bill urged upon
Congress by the Secretary of the
Treasury as a preliminary to the fiota-
tion Of q $4,000. 10000 loan before
the end Of the fiscal year. In detail, the
proposed legislation seems far more
advantageous to the railroads than the
original outline indicated.
Opposition to government ownership

voiced by Secretary McAdoo. and the
need Of establishing a $500, ,000, 900 fund
to provide working capital. impaired
