Coal in the School Bins.

Extraordinary efforts have resulted in
the sufficient reflling of the school coal
bins, it is announced, to warrant the re-
opening of the buildings Monday morn
ing with a prospect of continued ses-
sions. This is gratifying. y further
closing of the schools would be seri-
Gus handicap on the public educational
system of the District. II the schools
open Monday morning eight full days
will have been lost by all the schools
and nine by some of them. The board
of education has decided to make up
part of this loss by the abandonment of
most of the usual Easter holidays. This,
however, will only restore about half of
the days and if the schools are to fill
their usual schedule for the season it
will be necessary to keep them open
about week longer in June. It is much
better to cut out the Easter holidays
than to run the schools two weeks later
in warm weather. Some disappoint-
ments may be caused by the loss Of the
early spring vacation, of which ad-
vantage is often taken by families for
visits out of town. But this year is no
time for needless travelling, with the
railroads congested as they are. The
present hope is that there will be no
further interruptions in the school
schedule and that the children may be
able to continue their work in comfort
and safety in well-heated buildings dur
ing the remainder of the winter.

GERMAN FOOD CARDS
SAID TO BE FAILING
Secret selling by FEHmcrs at High

STOCKHOLM, Jan. S.--Germany's
experience with the equitable distri-
button OF food has proved that card
rationing has failed in its aim even
when managed by the ablest admins
traitors and backed up by tho sternest
supervision. This is the conclusion
reached by a writer in the Social De-
mokraten whose article Is attracting
wide attention in the Scandinavian
countries The evasive Harmer OBJ
structionist is the rock against which
the most loyal self-discipline and the
best organization are shattered.

not cost him anything. but II his pock-

rorlug the administrative measures,
the farmers concentrate their efforts
upon selling as much as possible sur
rcptitiously. This "sChleichhandeI

control and II IS easy To sec that the

This breakdown OF the card ra-

had been considered that foods were
