Mrs. Grace Strachan Forsythe, AS
sociate Superintendent of Schools,
died in her home, No. 255 West 72d
Street, to-day, from spinal arthritis,
from which she had suffered since
shortly after election to her position
in the school system last January.
Having risen from the teaching
ranks to the highest place which a
teacher could occupy in the schools,
Mrs. Forsythe was one of the most
widely known educators in the coun-
try. For many years an advocate of
better working conditions for the
women teachers, it was she who led
the fight for equal pay for equal
work, and first proposed the measure.
She championed the cause Of the mar
ried women teachers when there was
opposition to women continuing in the
city's employ after marriage, al
though she herself, at the time, was
unmarried.
Mrs. Forsythe was ffty-nine years
old. She was born in Buffalo and at
tended the schools in that city. Upon
graduation from the Normal School
in that city when sixteen years old
She, received her license TO teach.
Mrs. Forsythe taught in the grade
schools and in the High School in
Buffalo. year later she came .tC
this city with her parents and obtained
position as teacher in Brooklyn.
Later she became a principal and Dis
trict Superintendent.
She surprised her friends four years

WASHINGTON. July @1.--Tho Ma
tion will be put back on Il wartime
fuel basis if coal production is not
resumed in the near future.
With many parts of tho country al
ready feeling the effect Of a coal
shortage that is growing more alarm
ing each day. Secretary OF Commerce
Hoover is framing plans for the re-
vival of the wartime fuel administra-
tion to ration and control the dis
tributiOn of coal.
Secretary Hoover after n confer
ence at the White House with Presi =
dent Harding, announced that later
to day he would announce his plan for
controlling the distribution of coal
through priority orders to the rail
roads-the first step in the Govern
ments fuel conservation plan.
Secretary Hoover now has agents
throughout the country reporting on
coal conditions and under the direc
ton Of these officials the orgunlza -
tion would be expanded into a vast
voluntary agency.
Local committees probably would be
asked to declare fair price for coal,
in the belief that the prices could be
enforced through the pressure of pub
lie opinion.
Each local committee would dc
termine what coal users in its COM
munity should be given fuel to pre-
vent suffering on the part OF the pub
lie, while the national organization
would take steps to distribute the
limited supply of coal to parts Of the
country that were in dire need
The first step in fuel conservation
will be priority orders to railroads 70
move coal ahead OF other freight.
Hoover is now working out plans for
such orders with the Interstate Com
merCe Commission. Orders also may
bo issued giving priority on coal ship
mcnts to the Northwest and New
England, where the fuel shortage Is
most acute.
In the event voluntary Fuel Ad-
minstration is established, coal would
