SCHOOL CIRCLES PRAISE
Low FARE SUGGESTION
Would Have Teachers Distribute
Tokens to Prevent I'm
fair Tactics.

The suggestion made by J. C. Wright
that special fare of six tickets for
rs cents be provided by the street car
companies for District school children
has met hearty approval in school cir
cles.
DR.. Abram Simon, president of the
board of education, stated today that
he believed the suggestion a worthy
one and that the street car companies
should take some action to relieve
parents of the financial burden of pay
ing the present high car fares for chill
dren going to school. The school
board, DR.. Simon indicated, probably
will take some action to request the
Public Utilities Commission to make an
arrangement with the utility companies
to provide six fares for % cents for
school children.
If the Public Utilities Commission
and the car companies agree to grant
the school children six fares for rs
cents, it is likely that the school board
will have some arrangement made to
have the teachers distribute the tokens
to the children who have to travel on
the cars to go to and from school.
