last nighi, have had their vacation

bat The board last night, on motion OF
scar c. Draper. Of the Fifth ward, de-
ended TO postpone the opening. The
motion was approved by all the mem
bers OF the board and Superintendent
Clifford ]. Scott=The action was taken
because Schools Nos. ~ and "a can not
be made ready for opening on Septem-

Incidental to the impOssibility OF
making ready the two schools, MIR.
Draper said Il would be wise to open
all the schools week later than was
originally planned. The usual excessive
heat which prevails during the first two
weeks, necessltsting halliday sessions,
was advanced as another argument IN
favor OF the pOstponement.
The opening of the schools this year
will follow a successfully conducted
summer schools system. In his report
Of the summer schools, conducted Dy

OF private subscriptions, Superinten-

No Fraternizing.

No Fraternizing.
 I am proud to say that, so far as my experience went, I saw absolutely no fraternizing of the A. F. F. with German soldiers or citizens. The A. E. F. represents a tremenodus army, and the territory that 1t covered was so large that I was able to work in certain divisions although during the winter I must have addressed at least 100000 men; so that what one may hear concerning one part of the area might not apply to another. There were hundreds of thousands of men that I was not able to see, for I did not work in the s. O. S. or amongst the leave sectors. Almost my entire time was occupied with combat troops.
 No one in America can ever fully understand what the roads and by ways of France must have been dur ing active military warfare. As they are at present. they seem unnegoti- able; and I, who have bumped and jolted for hundreds of miles in carts, wagons, ambu1ances and every kind of vehicle, can well syn1pathize vii the boys in their hazardous convoy work; in deluges of rain, whirlins snowstorrn, piercing winds and pass
 
 to the camps under tremendous dis advantages.
 One of the keeT.est desires was to reach the boys at points where no en- tertainments could be arranged for them and where the ordinary routine of their life was marked by priva- tions, and thank God, I reached hun dreds and thousands in this emer- gency. I was greatly cheered when I received word from army head quarters that General Pershing would place a. car at my disposal for the remainder of my trip. My little Dodge, with its army chauffeur, be- haved like a piece of gic as it fled over mountains. through forest and across battlefields.
 It was only when I was able by this means to cover a vast area of Territory that I realized the hercules~ task that our boys encountered winch they scaled the mountains between Luxemburg and Germany. In short. they accomplished the impossible and when the history of the war, of at least the essentials of field work. come to be analyzed a permanent place will be allotted to the splendid men, who in all sorts of weather ploughed the nareow, muddy roads iSduiIis tO tlle tHSTly ITOuI lines. A great place will be given to th~ management of it's motor service an. supply department. All the food con- stunned and the raiment worn by the army of occupation came, not from the enporiums of France, nor the storehouses of England, but straight from U. S. A. As a consequence all of us were cared for by the A P. F. and used no German food. Our butter eggs, bread and meat were always in season and came straight from home.
 We who had travelled these roads and had seen the evidences of the gi- gantic obstacles to tho accompani- ment of this service fully appreciated the work of our boys.
 must say one word about the Y. M. c. A. The criticism to which it has been subjected to is most unfair, and will reeOil upon the orig1nators of one-sided reports. The fact that 50 of the staff of the r. M. c. A. at the front buke all who have not taken time to place the relation of the Y's work to the field as a whole.
