FORCED EDUCATION
FEATURE IS SCORED
Visiting Nurses Oppose
Night Studies for Children
Employed All Day.

Disapproval OF the pan which makes
it necessary for children who are given
permits to work all day to study three
hours at night, in order to comply with
the requirements of the new compulsory
education act. was expressed at the
regular February meeting of the In
stTuctive Visiting Nurse Society Of
washington yesterday morning at the
residence Of Mrs Franklin H. Ellis. 1927
Nineteenth street. The act requires
that children between the ages of II
and IS who have not passed the eighth
grade shall attend school TO that extent.
The nursing society, basing It's opinion
on experience, feels that any plan where
by child doing full-ttme work is re-
auired to put In three hours In a class
room after the days work IL completed
Is detrimental TO both physical and
mental development.
Other features OF the meeting were
the regretted resignation, due to Illness.

son Newbold to fil the vacancy and the
announcement By the latter that an

This amount was the Districts pro-
portfonate share of miscellaneous
moneys, such as fees from the Ma
tional Geological Park and activities
under the direction and control of the
officer in charge OF public buildings and

was actually in the Treasury to the

close of the fiscal year 1922 and is
included in the general fund balance
of the District OH that date as certi-
ned to by the Controller General OF

the accountants of the joint select
committee and az a result in the re-
port of that committee, the amount of

annual appropriations are kept upon
the books of the Treasury Depart
m Hent for two years following the year
upon which the appropriations are

the appropriations accounts are closed
out Under the accounting system In
operation for the government of the
District of Columbia, the revenues Of
the District for a given year are
charged with its proportion OF total
appropriations made by Congress for
that year.
This means that the District sets
aside its current revenues for a given

amount of the appropriations for that
year will be expended Therefore
when unexpended balances of District
appropriations lapse and are carried
TO surplus by warrant of the Secre-
tary Of the Treasury, the proportion
Of such balances theretofore charged
TO District revenues is returned to
the Districts credit as so much cash.

the fact that this was an actual
money credit in the Treasury on June
20. 1922, belonging TO the District of
Columbia and operating to increase
its surplus revenues, the accountants
employed by the joint select commit
tee and that committee by reason
thereof, reported the amount Of this
item as an obligation against the Dis

Every surgeon in the room held his

atirg table, until he was again TAX

than 15 minutes. While it was yet
too early to note definitely the bene-
