MANY TO QUIT FEDERAL
POSITIONS TOMORROW
Wartime Associations Severed in
Service Here With Resulting
e.. Sadness Among Clerks.

Several thousand war workers, most
of them women. will terminate their
services for the government tomorrow.
owing to the failure Of Congress to
provide for their further employment.
While all the executive departments
are affected to a greater or less ex-
tent in the reductions. the War De-
pa rtment is the principal sufferer.
About 1900 employees Of that depart
ment will be dropped from the rolls
tomorrow. In the State Department
the reductions total about 200. and in
the Navy Department there will be
nearly zoe fewer employees than there
were at the beginning of the month
In practically every case. the en-
ployes who go out tomorrow were
given notice to that effect early in
the month and granted leave of
absence with full pay to July l. in
order to give them an opportunity to
procure other employment if possible.
Consequently affairs in the govern
ment offices have been practically al
ready adjusted to conditions that will
obtain when the new fiscal year be-
gins Friday. Nevertheless there is a
general feeling of gloom and de-
preston in departmental circles over
the departure of friends and the sew
erance Of wartime relations involved
in the wholesale discharges that take
effect SO soon.

760 students, and the excess was
taken care of by a two-shift system.
Principals of Business and Tech
high schools also have asked for new
buildings to replace their present in
stitutions. which have grown entirely
too small for the ever-increasing stu
dent bodies. Dunbar High School OFF,
cials have made request for sta
dunn. while those at Armstrong have
appealed for an addition to that IN
stitution.
Will Engage Architechts.
To hasten the erection of the new
school buildings recently authorized
by Congress. the Commissioners to-
day decided to engage number OF
outside architects to assist the mu-
nicipal architect in preparing the
plans.
The action is in line with the in
tention of the Commissioners an
nounced in The Star few days ago
to complete as many OF the buildings
as possible before the schools open in
SeEtember of next year.
The firm of MCEauEhton & Robin
son of Boston is one that has already
been engaged to aid in planning the
new school structures, and NUMBER
of local firms also will be called upon
This ScnelNe VII ma i.S
to begin most of the buildings this
fall. Mai. Cary H. Brown. assistant
engineer commissioner. said today
that all of the structures that are to
be finished by September. 1922. will
be started before December of this
year
One of the new structures. an adj

MORE FUNDS ASKED
TO SUPPLY PUPILS:
Increased Appropriations Are
Sought to Provide for EIe-
men:ary Schools.

Increased appropriations for. sup
plies for children in the elementary
public schools was asked by Alexan-
der y. Stuart, director of intermediate
instruction, at the third and final
hearing today on the school budget
for the fiscal year of 1922. Several
score of certified school officials have
testified at these hearings and have
outlined to Supt. Frank W. Balou
urgent needs ranging from new build
inss to higher pay for themselves and
the teachers. which. it is estimated.
would take millions of dollars to pro-
vide.
In support of his request for a
larger fund for supplies. Mr.. Stuart
pointed out that the 100000 appro-
priation granted by Congress for the
coming fiscal year is not sufficient to
purchase all the paraphernalia need
cd bv the graded school children dur
ing the new term. which begins IN
September. He cited that textbooks
are 25 per cent or more higher IN cost
than last year. and the limited supply
fund will preclude the acquisition OF
as many new texts as are needed TOT
new pupils to enroll in school in the
fall and the replacement of old and
wcrn-out books Consequently. he
said. A number of books which should
be condemned will have to be used
during the next school year.
