in the elementary grades is almost
impossible. and that seventy-eight
portable buildings are now in use,
helping out in the crowded condition
Of the schools.
The superintendent said he had
every hope that these conditions
would soon be alleviated and that he
hoped every citizen was behind him
in getting letter school facilities. He
said come of the elementary classes
now are entirely too large for the
teachers to handle and that several
clas are forced to operate on half
time The Commissioners are aware
OF the situation, DR.. Ballou said. and
are working to better the conditions.

District and Maryland Of

Inspector Grant, chief of detectives.
is giving serious consideration to the
question of safeguarding the Wash

the work Of hold-up men.
| Persons motoring between the two
cities at night are at the mercy OF
such men," the inspector said to a

A significant pointing to rack OF
rifles in the office of the chief OF de-

part in the chiefs proposed pans

to Prince Georges county authorizes
about the question of safeguarding

be employed to good advantage, and is
in accord with Inspector Grant in the
matter of using them. Both the chief
of detectives and constable would
have rifles used freely in instances in
which the hold-up men figure. They
point out that the hold-up men are
ready and willing to sacrifice human
life. and think it better to kill the
terminals than to have them kill in

AMUSEM MENTS
Fritz Kreisler Recital.

Fritz Kreisler enthral1ed tre-
mendous audience at Polls Theater
yesterday afternoon with the magic
of his violin. Although the master
violinist has been heard to better ad-
vantage here. he was still the won
derful violinist Of old. evoking from
| his instrument the depth of tone which
he knows so well how to get.
Kreisler's program was made up
largely of familiar numbers. many
of his own arrangement, small things
that he has endeared to concert
goers, both here and throughout the
country, and which. through the
means of mechanical reproducti's'l.
are widely popular. This was shown
when he gave as an encore the ever
charming Caprice Viennois.' Hardly
had he played the first measure when
the great audience. before that SEEM
and burst into a great volume of ap-
plause. thereby obliterating for them
selves several following measures.
A sonata for piano, by Caesar
Frank opened the program. and con-
stituted the only pretentious number
of the list. The allegretto POGO mosso
movement afforded Mr.. Kreisler his
best opportunity. This sonata, as did
the following lighter numbers. demon
strated that the violinist makes no
attempt to dazzle his audiences with
, his technique. but leaves such
methods. which are proper in their
place. to younger. players.
His sparkling legato was shown in
|Cartier's La Chasse." Other num-
bers in the second section were
Bach's "Gavotte in E Major" Martini's
"Andantino," Leclair's "Tambourin"
and variations by Rartini. 1t was in
the third section, however. that Mr..
Kreisler played his old "standbys.".

PLEADS FOR HIGHER PAY
FOR CLERKS IN SCHOOLS
Maj. Wilmarth, Accountant, Pre-
sents Figures to Support
Claims.

Pleas for increased salaries for
clerks in the public school system
are made by Maj. Raymond o. Will
marth, chief accountant, in his an
nual report. submitted to members
OF the board of education. The re-
suit Of the low wages paid the clerks
he pointed out. Is responsive for an
abnormally large number of separa-
tions.
with low entrance salaries and
small chance for promotion" saiS
Maj. Wilmarth's report. the pubic
school system can only secure The
most inexperienced clerk. Weeks and
months are then spent in his training
but as experience is gained and the
clerk grows more valuable he yields
outside the public school system, and
instead OF becoming an asset to the
school system the cost Of his training
becomes liability which is ever in
creasing."
The report contains a table of sala-
ries paid the employees in Maj Will
martins Office. as compared with the
District government. the United States
government and the wages recon-
mended by the congressional Joint
commission on reclassification of sala-
ries. 1t shows that accountants in
his office receive from $1,000 to 900
year. while those in the District
government get from $1.400 to $4,000
and those in the federal service from
$500 to $3.720.
The salaries paid employees in this
office" the report stated, "are by no
means sufficiently high to retain a
trained force or to secure trained ma
terial to fill vacancies and new posi-
tions. l earnestly trust that the
school administration will continue to
stand for adequate salaries. and that
during the coming fiscal year every
effort will be made to secure an in
crease in the rate of salaries of the
clerica! personnel. which will at least
bring it to the level Of similar posi-
tions in the government Of the Dis
trict."
