CAR SERVICE
Changes Expected ~ Relieve
Congestion and improve Con.
ditions on w. R. & &.

Street car service will be more
regular, downtown sections will be
less congested with cars, and long
distance street car routes will be
made shorter are the promised results
when the rerouting plans Of the Pub.
lie Utilities Commission go into ef-
feet probably at the end of this week.
Engineer Commissioner Charles w.
Kutz, chairman. Of the Utilities Com
mission, said today a rerouting of the
lines OF the Washington Railway and
Electric Company would be made
within several days.
Months of Investigations by experts
OF the commission have shown that
the street car service on the w. r. &
E. lines throughout the city is very
irregular. 1t has been learned that
long routes have prevented the COM
pany from attaining a regularity in
service.
1t is to remedy these conditions
and to improve the service through
out the city that the commission will
order the company to reroute its
lines according to plans Of the Dis
trict experts.
Service Is Irregular.

"Our plan of rerouting ts com
oleted. except for details" said Com.
missioner Kutz today.
1t viii be announced in several
'ays. During the discussion of the
everal plans of improving the service
We mad to consider and realize tina,
ome changes would add an additional
financial burden upon the COMPANY
nd the public. But we believe w,

Routes Too Long.
There are Several lines in Wash.
ngton that are entirely too long. 1t
practically impossible to attain
'egular service with these long dis
ance lines. We have made changes
ghich will necessitate passengers OBJ
aiming transfers. 1t NAV causa ,

etter the service"
Commissioner Kutz also spoke Of
alieving congestion downtown. Tbi.

umber Of cars of f street and di.
erting them to G street. 1t is prob.
Bile this will be done.

CENTRAL CITIZENS TO MEET

o'clock.
The Washington times., 1919-12-15

Conditions at the Western
School, the only senior school in
all the territory west Of Four
teenth street northwest, are far
from ideal. The classrooms are
oyer~crowdsd and the teachers
'overburdened- Daily the enroll
ment to increasing, and day by
day extra duties are being put
on the burdened members of the
faculty.
Originally erected to accommo-
date about 600 students, the
scheol has enrolled 10 pupils.
OF this number, 110 are forced
to go into crowded classrooms
for Instruction. Although the
situation has serious aspects
now, prospects for the future
are far from encouraging. The
enrolment next February Is esti-
mated at 500.
Shortage II SerisuA-
In no other school in the city
are there such handicaps as pre-
vail at Western. The shortage of
teachers has become very seri-
ous- Most of the classrooms
have more than thirty students,
and superintendent of Schools
Thurston believes that IL is un-
fair to q student and unfair to
the teacher. where q high school
class has more than thirty stu
dents.
In several years the enroll
ment at this school probably will
reach 300 or 1000. There is no re-
lief In sight. And, although the
enrolment has been steadily in
creasing recently, the number of
members of the faculty remains
the same. Teachers are COM
PEELED to work five and six
periods a day, when IL has been
the policy In the past for teachers
to instruct four classes a day,
with a few five-periods. This
practice was discontinued months
ago, and the school officials, un-
willingly, are forced to heap
daily additional burdens upon the
teachers.
Need New School
There is q great need of a new
high school west Of Fourteenth
street or an addition to Western.
1t may be necessary to turn down
several hundred students, because
of lack OF space, IL the enrolment
continues to increase. II these
students are not turned down the
teachers will be overburdened to
such an extent that their eff
cheney will be greatly reduced and
the standards OF the high schools
viii be brought down consider
ably.
The immediate need at West
ern, however, is more teachers.
The Board Of Education has
asked Congress to provide fifty
additional teachers to be dis
tributed through the FIVE high
schools. This request was made
about a month ago. There seems
no Immediate possibility of Con-
gress taking action
II more teachers are added to
the faculty at Western. the
crowded situation will be some
what relieved. School officials
can no doubt rearrange the school
hours to prevent overcrowding of
classrooms and burdening OF
teachers. The permanent solution
Is more classroom space.

HOMES MAKE FOR
GOOD CITIZENSHIP
MALcONTENTS AND SOCIAL DIS
TURBERS ARE THOSE WITH
&OUT FIXED HABITATIONS

"He's home-owner and a tax
payer" is the best recommendation
any man can have in his own COM
munity. 1t gives him standing
forthwith, not so much as person OF
some financial Importance, but tas
dependable, substantial and self-re-
specting citizen, wisely regardful OF
his own and his family's happiness
and best interests, and at the same
time an asset to the neighborhood in
which he lives. So universal is the
home-loving instinct that it might al
most be said there is something
wrong morally with the man or wo-
man who does not care to own
home; and that is why the malcon-
tents, the habitual industrial disturb
ers and the socially FESTIVE that in
flict themselves on all countries are
of the element that is very largely
without home ties.
Unless all signs fail, this is to be
the great American BODYBUILDING

ment's urgent advice to own

Home for Your Children's Sake, and
by the injunction that During the
war it was patriotic not to build, now
we can best show oru patriotism by
building" there has been a tremen-
dous revival in the sentiment for
home ownership. The indications
are that the unhappy classes OF
"renters" and "boarders" will be
greatly depleted before the end OF
1919, and that there will be many
thousands of additional families en-
tered upon the life of happiness and
contentment to be found only IN the
home. The price of building materi-
ais today is not high, as compared
with prices of other important com
modities, and the community thai
does not add materially to its total OF
homes this year is likely to be rated
as lacking in papriotism, as well as
good business judgment.

Leading to this beautiful building

tain the names of the several depart

This building is surmounted by a
prominent dome over the pinnacle

Upon annual occasions, these same
bright colors are displayed from
every window in this grand structure
and entwined about every memorial

This "Blount County Memorial

it may call for the other suggestions
and thereby awaken general pubic
interest in the movement for me

surrendered freedom, liberty and life
that this blessed trinity might be
conserved to US.
