Sixteen Chinese from two steam

taken back to their vessels. The
court held that sailors under contract
may not get shore leave without con-

D. c. NIGHT SCHOOLS
TO RUN TO June |
Use of New Budget System
Will Prevent Closing This
Year in April or May.

BY practicing rigid economy. school
authorities have made ii possible to
keep the public night schools in op-
Grafton until about June ] on the
initial appropriation of $4,000.
In former years the night schools
have been forced to close in April
or May and in several instances
earlier, because of the lack of funds,
despite the fact that Congress had
granted deficiency appropriations for
their operation. This year. however,
a deficiency appropriation will not be
necessary to give the night schoo!
students instruction up until June.
Closed I'm April Last Year.
With the exception of Business
High, the night schools last year
were forced to close in April, al
though $4,000, which included de-
ficiency approximation of sl5.oeo, mad
been made available for their opera
ton and maintenance. Business High
Night School last year closed the
latter part of May.
One method of economizing in the
cost of running the night schools
was the adoption of budget sEs-
tenn. Under this plan the $4,000 ap-
propriated for the night schools was
divided into eight allotments by the
recently created board of apportion-
ment of the school system. Each OF
the allotments was set aside for "A
the night schools warned not to ex-
ceed that sum in the operation of
their institutions. Therefore, school
authorities were in a position to state
last night that they had sufficient
funds on hand to assure the opera
ton of the night school system
through May.
Another New Policy.
Another economical policy which
already has resulted in the saving of
hundreds of dollars was the closing
of some of the night schools in the
outlying sections of the city where
the enrolment did not justify their
continued operation. During the
war. when the night school enroll
ment established record. classes
were opened for every twenty stu
dents who applied for instruction in
any one subject The classes now
are much larger and waiting lists
have been established at many of the
night schools, particularly in the
senior institutions.
Walter B. Patterson. director of
special schools, pointed out that he
tightening of the purse strings in
the operation of the night schools
mas consequently reduced the en-
rollment to some extent. We do rot
have as many students in the night
schools as before" said Mr.. Patter-
son. but the attendance is much
steadier."
