WASHINGTON IRVING
FORMAL OPENING is
HELD FRIDAY RIGHT
Principal Giuen Check to
Be Used in Interests
of School.

Formal opening exercises fir the
Washington Irving junior high school,
North Zarzamora and Morales streets
Friday evening, were given an I'M
usual feature when a letter contain
ing check for $107.5O payable to
the principal, G.. w. Gotke, to be
expended in the interest of the school
as he saw fit, was opened and read
to thu hundreds of patrons who had
assembled at the school. for the dedi-
cation exercises. Patrons of the
school had raised the funds through
a committee headed by Louis Rodri-
guez, proprietor of stone-cutting es-
adjustment.
The gift, the first one Of its nature
to be made in San Antonio, came I'M
solicited and Unexpectedly. The
patrons appreciation Of the junior
high school building as well as their
implicit confidence in the principal as
indicated by the fact that the money
was turned over to him without con-
ditions being imposed as to its expen-
liture.
That the gift came directly as the
result Of the desire of Mr.. Rodriguez
to pay a debt of gratitude to the pub
lie schools. is the belief of w. J.
Knox, assistant superintendent Of
public schools. As a child. Mr.. Rodri-
guez attended the Navarro school.
One day his teacher saw him model
ing a head from clay. He told the
child that if he should be compelled
to it school before he graduated
that he wanted to see him.
When young Rodriguez had reached
the fifth grade, he informed his
teacher that he had to quit school
and 20 to work in order to contribute
to the support of his family. The
teacher procured a position for him
in n stone-cutting establishment where
he might develop his talent and at the
same fine earn money. During the
course of time young Rodriguez be-
came q master in the carving of fig
ues for monuments and the like and
is now the. owner of his own prosper
Gus enterprise.
Among the speakers at the formal
opening exercises, Friday evening
were Herbert PEARS, representing the
San Antonio school board; Walter
Cooking, director of junior education,
and DIR. jeremiah Rhodes, superln-
tendent of schools. The school or
chestra and glee clubs gave numbers

ton.
