SUMMER SCHOOLS
HOLD6,686 PUPILS
4,086 Are Enrolled in White
Classes, With 1900 in
CoI0red Division.

Six thousand six hundred and eighty
six boys and girls are spending their
Summer vacations studying in WASH
ington's public schools. according to
figures compiled today by Walter Pat
terson, assistant superintendent in
charge of white Summer schools. and
L. L. Perry. assistant superintendent in
charge OF colored schools.
Two thousand eight hundred and
forty-two are enrolled in the senior
high schools, 1,104 are in the Junior
highs and 2,740 are attending elemen-
tary school classes. Mr.. Patterson S
tabulation shows that the senior high
school classes now in session at the
Western High School are being attended
by 1,79l boys and girls. This figure is
slightly less than the anticipated enroll
ment at the end of the regular school
year, when the Summer sessions were to
have been held at the Central High
School.
Repairs to that building necessitated
transfer of the Summer classes to the
Western building. The additional dis
lance to the school at the west end Of
the city was responsible for the with
drawal of several hundred applications
for the vacation course. Mr.. Patterson's
figures show, too, that there are 696
students in the white junior high
schools and 1899 in the elementary
classes, making a total Of 4,086 en-
rolled in the vacation schools Of
divisions l to 9.
Mr.. Perry has listed 1.051 senior high
school students in the colored vacation
course which is being given inthe Shaw
Junior High School. This school also
was transferred because of repairs:
Dunbar High School previously had
housed the colored Summer school. but
repairs similar to those at Central
necessitated the last-minute transfer to
Shaw. There are 408 pupils in the col
ored junior high schools and 1.14l in
the colored elementary schools, max
ing total Of $500 pupils enrolled in
the summer classes of divisions 10 to ID.

liminary to the corner stone laying. In
commenting on the growth of the
church's activity, Mr.. Snyder said the
early members had mo money, no Or
ganization; only faith.
Nov we have a flourishing congre-
CATION, property valued at $100, 900. and
are about to launch a great building
enterprise. We are building here q
temple that will endure"
Plans for the building disclose sew
eral distinctive features. The walls are
to be Of exceptional thickness and the
auditorium so feet from floor to ceiling,

CAPITAL Scenes
To Be Broadcast
From Aerial Eye
jenkins Announces Plan
in Connection With Tele-
vision Station Opening.

An epochal attempt to rebroadcast
to distant points televiSion views OF the
National Capital, radioed from an air
plane by means of a new device, the
''aerial eye" Is planned by DR.. G..
Francis Jenkins, the inventor, he dis
closed today in announcing the opening
tonight of his new high-powered tele-
vision station near Rockville, Md.
Previously 1t had been reported the
televisor would be merely laboratory
experiment, but DR.. jenkins stated to-
day a rebroadcast will be undertaken
for the benefit of amateur television
fans throughout the East.
Plans Are Explained.
It IS understood DR.. Jenkins ex-
planned his plans today to members OF
the Federal Radio Commission, some OF
informal ceremonies marking opening
Of the new station tonight.
The noted inventor said that the
Maryland station, located on the Brook
vile pike, will be used also for broad
casting radio movies nightly, with the
permission of the Radio Commission.
The station will have q wave length
of 1900 kilocycles and a power of
from one and half to five kilowatts.
An ACCIDENT 10 his SO-Call6Q uyIOg
laboratory" in which DR.. jenkins will
conduct the television tests, has delayed
installation Of the aerial eye" it was
learned today. A new plane has been
received from the Stinson factory for
use In the experiments.
Landing Gear Lost.
The original Laboratory" lost It's
landing gear recently when the inventor
was forced to land it in a rough field on
Long Island, N. Y, because of lack OF
fuel. DR.. Jenkins was plotting the plane
to Connecticut with a young man as
passenger. Both made light Of the
mishap.
The new ship, like the first one, is
a four-place cabin plane, in the cabin
of which will be placed special tele-
vision apparatus of light construction.
The scanning "eye" of the device will
be focused through an aperture In the
bottom of the ship.
A broadcasting set in the ship will
transmit the moving panoramic views
to the Jenkins station, which will re-
transmit the scenes over its regular
channel. The station consists of a lab
oratory building equipped with DR.. Jen-
kins' latest developments in the field
Of television and radio movies, and two
tall antenna towers for distance trans
mission. -------------------.--

True. 1t Is fighting back. 1t Is
powerfully entrenched. too.
It certainly is in no immediate
danger.
Still, IL Is on the defensive
which Wayne r. Wheeler never
would have permitted to happen.
Everything else being equal, he
believed-as every great tactician
does believe-that the advantage in

attacking side-so long as it can
keep on attacking.
Obviously the drys need a strong

trending for quite a while in the

which has been vacant since Wayne

But that always was the n

FRONTIER Was
STARTED here
Is YEARS ago
L. K. Morris, Founder
OF Firm, Came To
Brownsville With
First Train

Twenty-Five years ago on the
Fourth OF july the first train from
outside the Valley pulled into the
station at Brownsville TO be greet
ed by a mud shattered gathering.
The coming Of the train was hailed
as one OF the greatest moments IN
this sections history.
The entire town turned out and
the station was lined with rigs and
carriages. The passengers were
greeted with hearty handshakes and
loaded into carriages fer the short
drive to the city.
Among those who stepped from
the first train was l.. K. Morris
almost a stranger then. but who
since has become one of the best
known figures in the DEVELOPMENT
OF the Lower Rio Grande Valley.
Impressed
Morris was impressed bv the pos
slbilities Of this section, although at
that time this country was little
more than brush land. While he
could not foresee the development
that has come later. Morris saws
that he felt sure that the coming
Of the railroad would open up a
rich territory.
Preparing to get in on the ground
Floor. Morris made arrangements
ITO open a lumber company. He OBJ
tained land on the outskirts Of the
city, cleared away dense under
brush OF ebony and cactus and built
a small lumber shed. His business.

now at its peak at the same loca-
ton.
1t Is located at Tenth and st.
Francis streets. near the heart Of
the business district. This IS an
other evidence Of and tribute to
the progress OF this section, Morris
states.
Confidence
His confidence in the Valley was
quickly justified. the lumber man
declares. and his sales for the first
city totaled S36, 900. The business
grew steadily as homes and new
cities began Springing I'D between
here and Rio Grande City. His sons
entered the concern with him later.
The younger. Richard. came to
Brownsville in 1909 and remained
until the World war. The elder
