NIGHT SCHOOL PAY CUT

Should the District public school
meetings of strictly partisan po-
litical nature?
For nearly an hour the board of ed
ucation yesterday afternoon argued
this question without reaching a def
mite decision. AS a result, special
meeting was called for next Wednes-
day to settle this problem and at the
same time to map out Il definite pro-
gram of what activities shall and
shall not be held in the school audi
fused.
The protracted argument on the
question came as q sequel to a re-
quest of a representative of the demo-
cratic party for the use of the Central
High School auditOriuur-on October 13
for political rally. which was re-
jected.
James T. Lloyd opened the debate
when he made Il motion that the re-
quest be refused on the ground that
the auditorium should not be used for
purely. partisan political meeting.
Difference of Opinions.
Il don't share in that belief" replied
Edwin G. Graham. The schools
throughout the states are used for
such purposes. ] am in favor of open
ing up our schools for political meet
ings. 1t will not be long before the
people of Washington will be hold
ing meetings to determine whether
they are to vote"
There are plenty of places in the
District besides school auditoriums
where political meetings can be held"
answered Mr.. Lloyd. However. l
believe that the board ought to do
one of two -thiugs-open the schools
to any respectable political party or
close them to political meetings. If
they are opened to political parties
they should be opened to religious
SectS as we'll"
Mr.. Lloyd then amended his orig
inal motion relative to the request
of the democratic organization. to
read: Whereas the republican party
asked for the same privilege two
years ago and was refused. the re-
quest of the democratic party will
have to be refused now. The board
will take up the matter in the future
with view of forming definite
policy

Night Salaries Cut.

At the same time the board adopted
new schedule of compensation for
the night school teachers. based on
a per-night. instead of monthly ba-
sis. The new scale. Dr. Ballou point
ed out, will reduce the salary of the
night school employees from 10 to IL
per cent.
The new schedule is designed to con-
form with the law prohibiting govern
ment employees who also are members
of night school teaching force, from re-
ceiving an aggregate salary of more
than $4,000 a year. 1t will necessitate
the release. according to DR.. Ballou. of
between fifteen and twenty night school

by the children. DR.. Ballou informed the

letter for the teachers urging them to
warn their pupils of the dangers Of
using the streets for skating rinks.
I'VE must assume" said DIR. Ballou,
that children are going to skate. There
is no law against it. The children on
skates, however, assume an attitude of
disregard for others. They run into
pedestrians and hang on to passing au-

the widest scrambles seen on the

The furry, which sent May wheat
up 81 to Sc resulted according to re-
ports, from a titanic struggle for the
control of millions Of bushels Of the

taking part in this contest were James

Barnes, two Winnipeg men and tho
Armour Grain company.
Other reports. however, attributed
the sharp advance in price to a New
York exportersand foreign buying.
The market opened dull and with

supply Of wheat for sale and the con-
gestion and excitement increased as

The Amarant operates in conjunc-

to carry supplies to the keepers and

usually sweep Lake Superior. If the

said he would seek haven behind some
protecting point until the weather

The Amarant carries a crew of 26

place them along the channel at vari-
GUS points. Supplies such as lumber

Stannard Point is about 40 miles from

miles from the nearest settlements.
Keepers here seldom have an oppor-
