JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL
EDUCATION BOARD TOPIC
Proposition Is TO Be Taken Up at
Special Meeting Fixed for
80. September 8.

The question of establishing q
junior high school in the public school
system of the District will be con-
sidered by the board of education at
a speciaismeeting on september 3. The
Rev. DR.. John Van Schaick, new pres
ident of the board, issued the call for
the meeting before leaving the city
last night.
No definite plan has been an.
nounced for the junior high schcoi
which It is. proposed to create here.
In other cities, instead of having q
seventh and eighth grade. children
go from the sixth grade into junior
high school for three years. Gradu-
atfng from the Junior high school
they can still go on to the regular
high school for three more years.
In these junior high schools, the
work of the seventh and eighth
grades are not done away with, but
the subjects are divided into depart
men4e similar to the regular high
schools, with special teachers for GER
tain studies. In this way the pupils
can begin at the end of ahe 9Th grade
to concentrate -on the Subjects which
they believe will be of greatest value
to them in the vocation they plan to
follow in life.
Ernest L. Thurston. superintendent
of schools. and the high school teach
ers favor junior high school. Thus
far no opposition is known to have
developed against the idea.

Washington. Dec. 3-Presdent Wilson was requested IN
a resolution introduced today IN the Senate to sever diplo-
matte relations with Mexico.
The resolution was offered by Senator Fall, Republican.
OF New Mexico, as chairman of a subcommittee investipat-
ing the Mexican situation, who declared evidence had been
found which would astound the world" 1t also asked that
the President Withdraw recognition of the Carranza govern
nent.
Senator Fall boldly charged that the Mexican embassy.
the consulate generals IN New York and San Francisco, and
the consulates along the border with the knowledge and
consent of President had been actively engaged in spreading
of Bolshevist propaganda in the United States. EVIDENCE. il
was SAID, would be forthcoming to bear out the charge.
By this resolution, which was sent to the foreign reIa-
tons COMMITTEES of the Senate for consideration tomorrow
the whole Mexican problem, admittedly grave in view of the
refusal Of the Calranza administration to release Consular
Agent Jenkins from the penitentiary at Puebla, viii be put

Sec. Glass Seeks
Heavier Tax on
Normal Incomes

Washington. Dec. 3.-Revision of
the revenue iaws. SO as 10 place q
heavier burden Of taxes ON the normal
income, was urged by Secretary
Glass in his annual report today to
Congress.
Nj. Glass declared thai the excess
profit lax provisions Of the present
law should be eliminated and the
thus sacrificed be made up
from al increase on the taxes on
the average income.
Revenue derived from the lower
amounts assessed under surtax pro
visions of the laws may well be in
creased. said Mr.. Glass, who added
thai the topmost amounts listed I'M
der these provisions already had
passed their usefulness. The only
consequence OF increasing the tax on
the larger sums under n Surtax
law. ne added, would be to drive
