Lack OF $4,000 has compelled the
closing OF practically all OF the night
schools OF the National Capital, re-

including many men and women, and
youths compelled to work during the
day. being prevented from continuing
studies until the close OF the regular
school term. June %.
Funds Are Exhausted.
That there are not sufficient funds
on hand for the continued operation
OF all the night schools Is not due to
lack OF caution on the part OF the
Board OF Education. The board asked
Congress for $50, zoe, receiving only
$4,000, for the cost OF maintaining
the night schools.
The only night schools to continue
will be Business High, Garnet and
Armstrong, the latter two colored in
situations. The Board of Education
fnds II only has about $4,000 left for
the conduct Of the night schools, and
IL has been arranged to consolidate
certain special classes from all the
night schools into a group at Busi-
ness High. At the board meeting
yesterday II was decided to give 800
a night for expenses for Business

net and Armstrong schools.
More Tesehers Needed.
1t was stated, however, that under
normal conditions the $4,000 appro-
priated for the maintenance of the
night schools by Congress would have
amply provided for all expenses, but
with the great influx Of war workers
to the Capital and the jump in at
tendance has necessitated a greater
number Of teachers than normally
needed which has resulted In the
money not going along to pay for
the continuance of all the night
classes.
ut seems q disgrace to Congress"
said a Washington business man to-
day. that 1t has not appropriated suf-
ccient funds to continue all OF the
night schools. Because of the high
cost of living many youths have been
compelled to go out and work and
thus are prevented from attending
day schools.
