issuing special tickets to as many of
its employees as possible. A special
committee has been formed to try to
distribute these tickets equitably. No
employe may have more than one and
there is going to be no special priyi-

junior and senior high schools re-
manned about normal because of
the necessity of placing heavy class
load on teachers in order to balance
out" was a question school officials
could not fathom.
The committee declared 'The num-
Der Of high schools is large, even after
allowance is made for the larger en-
rollment" School attendance records
show that the six white and three
colored high schools, having a rated
total capacity of 1880, actually now
house l6,625 pupils. The white highs
have capacity rating Of II, 800, but
actually have an enrolment of l2,240
The colored highs, rated for $3.50
pupils, actually have 4,385.
School Units Smaller.
In its explanation the committee
said individual school units are
smaller than in the other cities. Dis
trIct school leaders do not quarrel
with that statement, but the commit
tee already had been given the ex-
PLANTATION.
For one thing, until recent years
high schools here did not enroll, gen.
orally, more than 1000 pupils. where
as IN most cities high schools were
built to house from 1000 to 5000.
Moreover, DR.. Ballou said, for many
years the standard elementary school
unit here was an eight-room building
with four class rooms on each of two
floors. Some rs to 80 such buildings
were erected. Then came the junior
high plan and change in construc-
tion plans. The newer senior high
schools are planned for l,500 to 1900
pupils, and some exceed 1900. The
junior high is planned as an exten-
sible building with a first unit of
from 625 to $50 pupils and a maxi
mum of 1850. And the newer ele-
mentary schools are eXtensible type
and can be built up from to l6 or
even 20 class rooms.
Heavy Mid-year Load.
One of the important reasons fol
comparatively higher school cost:
here is the extra pupil load thai
comes from the entrance, many al
the middle of the school year, of hun
dreds of children of members of Con-
gress, Capitol employees, of busines:
and professional workers who live
here during congressional sessions
and others. This is one Of the specia
characteristics of the National Capi.

This requires an elastic system o.
planning classes and courses. fol

at least $500 for the privilege
of watching next Wednesdays
~ inaugural procession from the
comfort of hotel room.
Most of the hotel patrons will have
guests, of course, and some relatives
and friends will share the cost, but
the total bill for those occupying
rooms in the principal hotels along
Pennsylvania avenue will be more than
$3.50.
Hotel proprietors were rubbing their
hands today at the prospect OF the
richest harvest in years. Some have
raised their rates. Some haven't. But
special rate or regular rate, every
room is engaged-well. II not every
room. all from which the parade can
be glimpsed.
Prices at Raleigh.
The Raleigh Hotel is charging $l2
for every room fronting on the Ave-
nue., and there are about so such
rooms. For rooms with windows on
the Twelfth street side, from which
it is possible to see something OF the
parade, the charge is So and $40, ac-
cording to the size Of the room and
the view 1t affords.
All the principal hotels, whether on
the parade route or not, are requiring
reservations for three days. The Carl
ton. demands four. In other words,
the inaugural visitor must pay for
three days, although he may stay only
one. So the minimum hotel bill will
be three times the daily charge for the
room or suite.
The Willard Hotel is getting about
$40 apiece per day, or $50 for the Pc
riod, for about SO seats fronting on
Pennsylvania avenue. This is the reg
ular rate. according to hotel officials.
Other rooms bring a minimum Of IS
per day.
Average Price $40.
At the Washington Hotel. the aver
age daily price for rooms on the Ave-
nue. will be $40, while accommodations
facing Fifteenth street bring $40 to
$l2 The Washington has 48 rooms
on the Avenue and 104 on Fifteenth
and 80 on F street. The less select OF
these will rent for So.
Every room in these three parade
route hotels has been sold out for
weeks, the Raleigh for nearly two
months, the Washington since two
days after the reelection of President
Roosevelt Some reservations were
made as long as year ago.
All have arranged to accommodate
spectators in their lobbies. Nearly
every seat is sold. The Raleigh gets
IS, $3.50 and $40 for SO window seats;
the Willard. $7.70; the Washington.
$50 for small windows, affording q
view for to 10 persons, and $50 for
large windows through which II to
Is can watch the parade go by.
As for the hotels remote from the
ceremonies, they are doing just as good
q business as the ones with 'front.'

Flat s12 Rate.
The Shoreham has established q
fat rate of $I2 for all rooms, single
or double. The management hesitated
to say what suites cost, but revealed
they would be mot twice as much as
the room rate" which indicates the
rent will be about $22 or $23 daily.

HEARST TO APPEAL

Boettlger Says Intention to

By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
SEATTLE, January l6.-Publisher
John Boettiger Of the Post -Intelli-
sencer said last night he had been
informed the Hearst general manage
ment would appeal Labor Relations
Boards decision ordering William
Randolph Hearst to offer reinstate-
ment to two discharged employees.
Discharge Of Frank M. Lynch, pho
tographer. and Philip Evernard Arm
strong, dramatic critic. last Summer
led to strike called by the Seattle
chapter Of the American Newspaper
Guild and suspension Of the papers
publication from August 13 to Novem-
Der 25.
Informed of the Labor Boards de-
clsion, Boettiger said:
Il was advised at the time of nv
appointment as publisher of the POST
1ntelligencer that the cases of Lynch
and Armstrong would remain before
the National Labor Relations Board,
and that in the event of a decision in
favor of Lynch and Armstrong an ap-
peal to the courts would be taken by
the Hearst general management. It
is also stated to me that the members
Of the Guild participating in the dis
cussions with the management of the
Post-Intelligencer. which resulted in
settlement of the strike against the
paper, were fully aware of this inten-
ton. This understanding on the part
OF the Guild members has been con-
firmed by members of the Guild with
whom have had conversation.
Therefore it is unnecessary for me
to comment on the decision in so far
as it affects the status of Lynch and
Armstrong beyond stating that any
further action in the matter will be
taken by the executives and legal
counsel of the general management
OF the Hearst newspapers.
With respect to the first two
points cited by the board in So
| called cease and desist' order, there
Is on the Post-Intelligencer no inter-
ference whatever, nor restraint, nor
coercion against any employe or en-
ployes in the exercise of their rights
to self-organization.' Neither is the

Lash, who now has erased Nurmis

great runner.
There is a partial parellel between
Varoff and Lash. Both set indoor
and outdoor records within a year,
and while Lash made the Olympic, he
failed to run his true race at Berlin.
One Of those completely competitive
runners, he is inclined to overdo it
and was, I believe, worn thin from
too much running when he reached
the Olympics.
This Winter he has been running
mile and 2-mile grinds-a terrific
strain-in one night. Significantly,
