BY Henry George Weiss
When the golden shackles are broken,
When the chain of lies is severed,
You shall reach upwards to the heavens,
Reach with the hands of giants.
Nothing shall bind you to earth,
From sweat and toll delivered
You shall quest among the stars,
Embodied minds that soar.
Strike then the shaekles off,
You who are gods unborn!
Sever the chain and arise,
You who are smothered in dust

The Masonic rites were the last to

citation of Oldest Inhabitants of the
District at Union engine house last
night.
Mr.. Proctor was prompted to. dis
CusS the funeral serices of the Illus

newspaper article recently, in which
he said the impression was given
that that burial ceremony ended with
the announcement of the rites of the
church. The clipping referred to read
as follows:

At the bottom of the elevated lawn
on the banks Of the Potomac, where
the family vault is placed, the cav

toward the mount and formed their
lines, the clergy, the Masonic broth

vault, and the funeral service OF the
church was performed.

Whitman, Capt. Evans said, served

the service because exception was
taken to a book of poems he had

served to advertise Wnitman's writ

was passed back to the engineer de-
partment Of the District government
by the board Of education yesterday
afternoon after years trial under
a policy of divided authority and re-
sponsibility. The Engineer Commis-
sioner, together with the municipal
architect, acting under his direction.
will have full responsibility for the
expenditure Of the appropriation for
school repairs.
About a year ago the school board,
with the approval of the District
Commissioners, took from. the NUM-
Sipal government the authority for
directing the expenditure Of the re-
pair fund. This system, it was
charged by Ernest Greenwood, vice
president of the board Of education
and chairman of it's committee on

a report to the board, has been inef-

Limits Use of Fund.
Another recommendation of Mr..
Greenwood's committee, that none Of
the repair fund remaining from the
100000 appropriation be expended
in in the , schools, was adopted. On Feb

was adopted.
"An examination OF various ex.

should be sunk to discover the exact

finds that the situation is dangerous"

of Mr.. Greenwood's committee, also

Proposal for Fairgrounds.
Snowden Ashford, chairman of the
education committee of the Fedora

the board to express its views on the
following question: Whether 1t.
would be more beneficial to place
the school Fairgrounds, after school
hours and in vacation time, under the
supervisor of municipal Fairgrounds,
or whether 1t would be more advan-
tageous to place all Fairgrounds un-
