4 NIGHT SCHOOLS
FACE EARLY CLOSE
Fund Shortage Will Be Con-
sidered by Education
Board Today.

Unless the Board of Education,
which meets this afternoon, can find
additional money, Washington's IA
public night schools probably will close
May 20.
officials estimate that the $50 900
allotted for operation of the night
schools will be exhausted then. The
closing will affect more than 1000
students.
Supt. of Schools Frank w. Ballou
has listed the matter for discussion
with the school board at its meeting
today.
Plan Considered Teachers.
Rather than force some 900 pupils
to drop out and throw from 80 to 60
teachers out of work, the board at
its second March meeting approved
a plan to operate all the schools as
long as possible on funds available,
instead of continuing a few to the
end of the term.
Little consolidation of classes, with
accompanying savings. has been pos
sible this year. according to E. L..
Lockwood and c. o. Lewis. directors
of the white and colored night schools,
respectively.
They pointed out that not only
has the years enrolment been large,
but the usual dropping of courses
toward the end of the year by con-
siderable number Of students has not
occurred.
Despite the early closing all pupils
who finish the courses offered will
be given full credit for the year S
work, Dr. Ballou has stated.
Fund Formerly $4,000.
Before the economy act the District
was allotted $4,000 for operation of
night schools. This was slashed to
SIS 900, but $4,000 was made avail
able for the current year.
There are six white night schools,
one of which is an Americanization
school, one a vocational school and
the others of high school status.
OF the eight colored night schools
six are elementary, one is combined
vocational and elementary institution
and one is a senior high school. Ap-
proximately 1900 white students now
are attending night classes. taught by
some $50 instructors. In the colored
schools there are about $500 pupils
and IS teachers.

Funds for New Bridge Asked
To End Speedway Traffic Jams

Water street, east Of the present rail-
way bridge. This will afford a second
outlet for the one-way traffic on the
Speedway
Capt. Carroll suggested a subway
instead of a bridge to relieve the sit
uation. He would have an under
ground passage placed below Four
teenth street, running northward into
the Northwest section from the park
area, so that there would be no inter-
ference with traffic bound for Virginia
over the Highway Bridge.
Definite plans have not yet been
completed for the new span. but Fin
nan hopes to get some indication of
favorable action so that specifications
soon can be drafted
The National Capital Park and
Planning Commission some years ago
recommended that such a bridge be
constructed across Washington Chan
mel.
