BY MARION WADE DOYLE.

Faced with the greatest demand
in its history for detailed work on
forms and applications, the school
system discovered when the 1914
budget estimates were released this
week that 80 badly-needed new
clerks had been deleted from the
school appropriation.
In addition, staffs of one principal
and one clerk in each of three junior
high schools are left with the ad-
ministrative details of more than
/ 200 children each because of the
deletion of salaries for new assistant
principals. High schools with only
900 children. such as Woodrow VIII
son, have two assistant principals
each and at least two clerks.
These deletions from the budget
were forced on school officials at the
last moment because of the neces-
city of cutting down maintenance
and operation expenses for the Dis
trict government as whole. The
budget estimates were released on
Monday and will be discussed at
congressional hearings later this
month.
Fuel Fund Trimmed.
Another deletion that Is expected
to have repercussions in the school
system during the next fiscal year is
the $72,500 cut in the fuel oil and
coal appropriation request. The ad-
ditional S28,500 had been asked to
pay the increased cost of the fuel
and $12,500 of this was struck out.
Offcials have the alternative of
asking for the fuel money in de-
ficiency appropriations or cutting
night activities even further in coal
heated schools as we'll as the oil
heated buildings.
A request for staff of 20 teachers
in the proposed new Merritt School
| had to be cut to 10 teachers. The
school, a combined elementary and
| junior high school, is to be of tenn
porary construction and is expected
! to be started and finished within a
few months. Building of a per-
manent Junior high school would
consume II to IS months.
~ IOpC Will lillo ICQuCIlDll, AS
sistant Superintendent of Schools
Garnett c. Wilkinson is restudying
the distribution of pupils in the
Merritt School area. If the study
still shows that 20 teachers would be
necessary to staff the Merritt, he
said, officials would either have to
plead for reinstatement of the salary
requests at budget hearings or double
up somewhere elese in the already
overcrowded school system to get
teachers for the new building.
The loss of the assistant principals
requested for the Macfarland, Lang
ley and Browne Junior High Schools
was described by Assistant Super
intendent of Schools Lawson j. Can
trell, in charge of junior high
schools, as serious" He explained
that they had been expected to take
over the discipline and the guidance
of the students TO permit the prin-
cipal to handle the rest of the
weight Of the administration.
Problems connected with the
emergency and the large number of
new students make it more impor-
tant than ever" Mr.. Cantrell said

Heavy Demands Reduce
Cold Storage Meat Stock
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
Heavy military and civilian de-
mands on most perishable foods
were seen today as responsible for
decreases in cold storage and meat
packing plant stocks of those COM
modities throughout the Nation.
The shortages under last years
January l totals were reported yes
terday by the Agriculture Depart
ment.
Fruits, vegetables, cheese, eggs and
poultry stocks were withdrawn fast
er than usual during December,
while stocks of frozen and cured
pork and lamb and mutton piled up
at heavier than normal rate, the
department said. In the latter case,
however, the department attributed
the increase to the heavy slaughter
season and sales for civilian con-
sumption. which are limited under
Federal Conservation orders.

effective Immediately, according to
Miss Cowan, and will result in

There will be mo lessening of re-
quired services, which must be Civ
en- to prepare girls for adequate
care Of either the armed forces or
civilians" she said. The courses
will be shortened by leaving out
certain elective and additional
services.

demanded of each principal" he
said, docs not permit him to devote
time to the students and their prob
lens"
The loss of II more clerks needed
at the Franklin School and 81 clerks
among the divisions of the school
buildings will mean that the present
clerks in the system must continue
to put in hours of overtime fulfilling
extra demands now made on the
school system. The clerks have foI
some time been working more and
more frequently overtime, but the
officials believe now that this situ-
alton will become chronic"

the teachers payrolls every month
Two payrolls were late in the fall

struggles with deletion of the vic
tory tax from school employees sal
aries.
The new budget estimates provide
for capital outlay of $503,000 for
eight school sites. Intended to be
constructed after the war, the
schools will relieve congestion in
areas which had never been heavily
populated before 1910. The need for
development of school facilities in
some areas and the lessening of de-
mand at the time in other sections
of the city has always been a major
problem for school officials but war
conditions have aggravated the Sit
uation.
In addition, increased care is pro-
vided for care of the blind, deaf,
dumb and crippled students in the
new budget and increased transpor-
tation for certain of the sight-con-
servation classes.
