Joe Condor, OF the Chesrook, lfas ar
ranged a game for Saturday~al Har-

The Navy team had promised 10 play

IN! against Rex. and Manager Condor
was anxious 90 learn how the Ches-
ter eleven performed against first
class opposition before bringing the
PennsylNan eleven TO Harlan sField
at the big guarantee they asked.
The TWO sunday games IN Wash
inglOn resulted In ChcsrOOk losing TO
Rex t3 90 o. while the Navy team
was defeating Chester i2 to 0. The
defeat Of ChesrOOk by Rex eliminated
the Wilmington team from meeting
the Navy Yard bunch, but Condon
decided 10 do the next best thing and
book the Chester aggregation which,
by the comparison OF the two scores.
seemed 10 be so well matched with
his own team.
Here's where Condon's we'll known
luck streak got TO working. Chesr0ok
was out OF a game for Saturday as
Joe had cancelled on the East Falls
Y. NJ. c. n team when ne Earned
that this outfit was showing up poor
ly In It's early games. When Joe
got back.to the hotel where The Ches-
rOok bunch was quartered he ran
into the manager OF the Chester
eleven. who was stopping at The same
house. Chester had a game pending
! for Saturday. but after arranging 10
play this contest later in the season,
/ the Pennsylyanians' manager tele-
phoned Joe last night tha. he would

TENSION IN SCHOOL
CIRCLES RELIEVED
Air May Be Cleared During
Teacher Council Session
With Board.

Details of the school betterment
campaign are expected to be discus
sed. with the result of generally
clearing the air. when the Teachers
Council holds it's second conference
with the board of education at the
Franklin School at o'clock tomorrow
afternoon.
Word has passed among the teach
ers that the attitude of the board
with regard to the drive" of seven
civic organizations. including leading
men and women of the city. for the
program of increased pay for teach
ers. more teachers, a comprehensive
building plan and business man
agement. will be stated definitely and
that free discussion will be welcome.
Expect Concerted Move.
Members of the teachers unions are
said to believe there will develop
shortly decided tendency toward
harmony of all elements in the school
situation and concerted move on
Congress to provide sufficient funds
to put the District school system back
on it's feet.
As result of these rumors. which
apparently have gained circulation
through the large membership of the
civic organizations interested in
school bettcrnent. there is today a
the teachinE corps. The result is a
lowering of the nervous tension
among the teachers due to fears of
radical reorganization, which admit
tedly reduced the general efficiency.
1t was indicated at the first meet
ing of the teachers council that the
members expected to have topics for
discussion assigned to them by DR..
John Van Schaick, president Of the
board of education. This he declined
to do.
lya 60 fraA n
sion of all matters of school interest,
and for threshing out problems that
arise in the various schools from time
to time" said DIR. Van Schaick today.
I'VE want the members of the council
to find their own topics for discus
sion"
The council will adjourn about 4:30
o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Then the
board of education will hold an ex-
ecutive conference, and at o'clock
will hold an open meeting. DR.. Van
Schaick said so far as he knew only
would be brought up. What the
board members will say about the
school-betterment campaign he would
not forecast.
Engineer Needed.
A stationary engineer for temporary
employment, at wage of $125 a
month. at the Mckinney High School
is needed at once, according to H. F.
McQueeney. chief engineer of the pub
lie schools. Several laborers, at
wage of $50 month, also are needed
for public school work. Applicants
should go to the offices in the Frank
lin School.
No reports Of insufficiently heated
schools were received at the public
school Offices today. Heating plants
apparently are in normal working
order. 1t was said, and needed only
to be warmed up throughouly after
the holiday season. Portable schools
are quite as comfortable, and fre-
quently more so. than the permanent
buildings, where caretakers give
proper attention to fires in the porta-
bles. 1t was declared at the office of
Ernest L. Thurston. superintendent of
schools.
