Once upon time there was a
jitterbug named Dawson. Now this
jitterbug lived in the age of the
"big apple" and existed through the
early 1940s, when she migrated from
the regions of high school to the
realms of work and was conquered
by civilization.
One day this jitterbug was staring
out of her Office window watching
all the commonplace bugs on Penn
sylvania avenue when she began to
wonder: What has happened to
the breed of Utter and all my root,
cute, zoot and solid-to-boot jack
son cousins?"
So the happy old bug footed it
back TO the land of sock and looked
up her 1947 prototypes.
She returned as sad, beaten
old bug, ready to be exhibited in
bottle marked Former Jitterbug
Very Ancient Species" for this
is what she found:
The term jitterbug is as dated as

A wise cat fast dances to any,
thing from a tango to a waltz. It's
the slow romantic songs like That's
My Desire" or Peg O. My Heart"
that these supersonic persons re-
quest nowadays. The ratatooty
numbers are in the minority. In
some sections of Washington it's
only the girls that dance with each
other when the old swing tunes are
played.
As for picking your dance part

Public Schools Open Sept. ~
For About 81 GOOD. Pupils
By Colt HendIey, Jr.
Education Editor Of The Stoe

Enrolment last year was 1,577. A
breakdown of that figure shows the
following: Elementary, 52,S11; ju-
nior high, 1861; vocational high,
1855; senior high, 1886, and teach
erS' college, 904.
Two new schools are expected to
be completed this year, both for col
ored children. They will to some
extent relieve the crowded condi-
tions which last year forced more
than 5000 colored children to go to
school part time.
The schools are the Slowe Ele-
mentary School, Fourteenth and
Jackson streets NE, and the Rich
ardson Elementary School, Fifty
third and Blaine streets NE. Archie
G. Hutson, director of construction
for the District, estimated the Slowe
School would be ready in about six
weeks, while the Richardson School
will open about January /.
Other Projects in Prospect.
The Slowe School will have four
classrooms, with space for four more
on the upper floor when conditions
warrant it. The other building will
have 16 classrooms with an assem-
bly, hall and a gymnasium.
Plans and specifications for 16
other projects are in the process of
being revised and bids for the work
are to be advertised within the near
future on many of them.
These changes in the plans were
made necessary by Municipal Arch
itect Merrel A. Goes plan to cut the
cost of construction by per cent by
trimming off fancy finishing touches
normally put on school buildings.
This means that terazzo tile in the
corridors will give way to a cheaper
asphalt tile. Inside walls of the
classrooms will be painted cinder-
block instead of the usual plaster.
Bricks made at the Occoquan Work
house by District convicts will be
used not only for common brick pur-
poses but also for facing. Fencing
and paving of Fairgrounds and
some of the landscaping will be de-
layed and not included IN the initial
contracts.
