tempted to reopen today after pelilS
suspended since last wednesday on
account of the severe weather, tney
were unable to do so, and further
blanket suspension until "Wednesday
mornino of this week was ordered by
school authorities.
The attendance was so slight today
that il was considered unwise and
ftnile to continue. and the new susPeh
sion was ordered. Whether the at
tendance will be materially improved
on Wednesday is expected to depend
largely on the weather. Today's at
tendance was officially stated 10 pc
only about half of the enrolment.
After nearly a week of Sub-treeZ-
ing and su1-zero temperatures here,
there was q moderation over the
weekend. The maximum reading by
t:,e cfficial Weather Bureau obscr-
Yer on Sunday was II degrees III the
afternoon, and the decline during the
night was only slightly 3elow the
freezing mark, at 30. The minimum
for Saturday night was Is degrees,
recorded early Sunday morning. Ear

mometcr registered slightly over
freezing.
Streets. sidewalks and trees and
wires were coated with slight glaze
of slect during much Of the day to-
day as the rise of the mercury was
not sufficient to melt away the ice.
A slight snow fell during Sunday
night. and turned to sleet in the early
morning today There was some scant
wire service trouble during the fore
noon, but this was not serious nor
widespread
The respite will be brief, however,
according to the weather forecast,
which is for continued moderation
tonight but much colder Tuesday
and Tuesday night. How much that
will be could only be conjectured to-
day. but the Grounding may go away
here, for he certainly did not see his
shadow Sunday, which was Ground
hog Day. Since there were slight
moments of sunshine elsewhere, the
little animal and his superstitutiOn
may mean still another month or
more of real winter. SO far the win
ter here has been the severest in the
memory Of most residents, and no
one here has ever before seen sub
zero temperatures in this section and

and six below on another day, in Of

$51.65 Over January of
Last Year

Receipts of the Henderson post Of
flee during the month of January
were announced today by Postmaster
J. +. league as being $3,820.93, a gain
of $51.65 over the $3,769.28 for Janu-
airy Of last year.
Last months receipts were the
greatest for any January the post Of
flee has had since 1928, when the total
was something in excess of $4,000.
The office had a total volume Of
$45,273.65 for 1885, which was suf-

fiscal year next July I. That was Il
gain Of $4,000, in round figures, over
the year 1884.
While the figure for last month was
not much increase over the former
year. it will be sufficient to bring in
a considerable annual increase if the
same proportion or better is main
tanned during the entire year.

APPRAISER COURSE
.|SFOUNDPOPU.LAR.
Pittsburgh Real Estate
Board Sponsoring School
This Summer.

The Pittsburgh Real Estate Board
has formulated a plan to get maxi
mum value for the city from the ma
tional courses In reel estate appraisal
method that are being given this
Summer by the American Institute OF
Real Estate Appraisers. The student
list for the course includes presidents
and other officers of some of the lead
ing real estate organizations Of the
country, officers of the real estate de-
partment or the mortgage loan depart
ments of leading insurance companies
and banks, and an official Of the as
SCISSORS Office of at least one major
city.
The Pittsburgh plan for seed-sow-
ing in appraisal though is likely to be
taken up by other member boards
of the National Association of Real
Estate Boards Dver the country before
the appraisal courses open, July 20,
August and August II.
This is the plan:
The board will give a first prize
Of 5000 to the Pittsburgh realtor who
wins the highest rating for his work
In the course. But it binds him, when
he gets back home, to help conduct
q series Of appraisal lectures to be
held under the auspices Of the board
during the Fall and Winter. The
board states it wants realtors who
cannot attend the Summer course to
have this opportunity Of becoming
acquainted with the latest thought in
scientific appraisal work.
The board is giving a second prize
Of sl00 and a third prize of $50
with similar condition attached-to
Pittsburgh realtors who get second
and third highest ratings in the ma
tional courses.
The courses (each covering two
weeks, and repeating and extending
the pioneer case-study courses given
by the institute last year,, are given
In cooperation with the School of
Business of the University Of Chicago.
The courses are written in detail by
the institute under its Education Com
mittee.
