Telephones Main 5877-5878 Three Buildings in South | End of Section Fairly Well Equipped. I Children of the south end of Qeorgetown to the number of about 1,000 receive their education In three building*. In various stanes of age 1 and preservation, located In the square bounded^by N and O street* and Thirty-second and Thlrty-thir<V streets. Theae buildings are the I Curtis. Addison and Anthony B. E Hyde schools. Although this section practically reached Its full growth years ago. so far as vacant land for houses is concerned, nevertheless, there has been a steady increaso In the school population, filling comfortably the three buildings now there. This sec tion docs not yet need any of the portables found now In almost every other part of the city. la I'm Maay Decades. The Curtis School Is a twelve-room building, dating almost as far back as the civil war. Many of the oldest Inhabitants of this section received education within its walls. It has none of the features now considered Important In the education of chil dren. such as an assembly hall and manual training and sewing rooms. The corridors below are long and dark, but on the upper floors fairly well lighted, naturally. But the en croachment of buildings on either side and the rear has tended to cut off the natural light. However, pressing need of class room space for Increasing numbers of school children precludes condem nation of this building at this time as unOt for children. The basement Is not the most sanitary In the city, and like part of the upper floors-Is dark and uninviting, and the class rooms are fllled with obsolete class room furniture of the rigid tVP* which Is being replaced as rapidly as possible with adjustable furni ture. However, with all Its draw backs the building is clean. This building fronts on N street. Immediately aljoining the rear land fronting on O street is the Ad Idison School, about a quarter of a [century old, one of the eight room type of buildings so common in the 1 District, and next to the Curtis on jN street Is the Anthony B. Hyde School, nearlng the twenty year !mark in Its history. This building is, by far, the best of the three and still has about It a bit of the lair of newness which makes it a pleasure to step within Its doors. I The rooms' are fairly bright. in | this school the supervising principal of the division has his office. ? looms Comparatively BrlaM. I The Addison's rooms are compara | tlvely bright an<1 good, as District I schools go. but. like the Curtis and [the Hyde. It Is nothing but a collec tion of class rooms, with no other I attractive featuresVor the children. The basement is dark and unattrac tive. While indoor recreation Is now discouraged, as It should be, ex cept In very Inclement weather, the children attending these three schools are crowded for outdoor play space. There are very small I yards. There are S50 children on the rolls | of the Curtis School. 354 at the Ad dison and 295 at the Hyde, a total of ! >99. However, this number Is ex pected to increase at the time of the | semi-annual promotions. February 1. But there are still enough vacant .lesks to take care of any normal increase. The Curtis- building should be placed on the list for replacement as soon as other and more crowded sections of the city are looked after. At the present time these build ings each have a separate teaching principal. It 1s understood to be the plan of the school officials to: put these three buildings under one principal in the near future, as Is now the case at the Waliach-Towers I group in the southeast section of, the city. Tomorrow the crowded rosditloi" at the MeKtnley Maaual Training School, popularly kaowa as "Trek High." at Seventh street nnd Rhode Island aveaae. northwest, will he outlined la The Herald. CHAIN BRIDGE HINDERS j TRAFFIC, SAYS LETTER In a letter to Carl E. Mapes, chair- , man of the House District Commit tee. the District Commissioners yes- j terday gave the opinion, the Chain , Bridge Is unfit and unsafe for mod ern highway traffic. The letter said: "The bridge was built in 1S74. and consists of six spans of 172 feet each and two spans of 120 feet each. At the presnt time It will carry a distributed load of seventy-five pounds per square foot. "These loadings are very much less than the weight of the loaded vehicles now in common use in this vicinity. The present bridge fails to meet the needs of modern traffic, and it serves as an obstacle to retard the develop ment of commercial relations be-1 tween the District and that part of Virginia." 25 Aid Women's City Club Fund for Construction Twenty-five members of the Wom en's City Club have subscribed amounts ranging from $100 to 11.000 to the $355,000 building fund of the or ganization. which will be launched formally tomorrow night at a mass, meeting at the New Wlllard Hotel. ] Mrs. Laura A.

Seven cities report no rent Increases during the five-year period, namely Dubuque. El Paso. tirand Rapids, Great Falls. Mont.: Nashville, St. Paul and San Diego. Many of the at*>ve reports arc based upon a single estimate. For other c:ties the estimates were two. three, four or more, the greatest number b?. ing for New York and Cin cinnati. nine ea?-h. It is noted that ?ities of war industries, where sharp dvances were the first to appear, are now showing a lesser tendency to advance. It would be Interesting to discover why there is a marked divergence in the rent advance, but many ele ments would enter into the Investi gation. When, the war began there was a variation in the supply of houses in different cities. Some lo calities were stimulated more than others by war Industries, etc. Sarcity of houses is the reason mast commonly assigned-for the rent ad vances. The opinion was frequently expressed by those replying to the board's questionnaire that rents would continue to advance for some i time.

Md., Friday night over powered their keeper. Three of the men effected an escape. Norman Butler, a boy, held on a charge of farceny, was found last night and locked up. The men still at large are John Coffer, George Williams and James Hansen. It is believed they boarded a freight train leaving Marlboro. The Butler boy, following his re arrest, told the authorities the men got on a train, but when he tried to join them, they pushed him off. Jailor Perry had given his prison ers their supper, and had locked them up for the night, wH\n Han sen called him to the grating of the cell and asked for another loaf of bread. Perry compiled with the request. Returning with the bread, he opened the cell door. Seising the keeper. Hansen dragged him Into the cell. Knock ing hint down, the prisoners took the jail keys and dashed to liberty. Soon after their escape. Perry sounded the* alarm. Posses searched the town and nearby territory. But ler was discovered nesr the railroad tracks. He gave himself up to the officers voluntarily and recounted his actions following the escape. Marlboro authorities warned police at points toward which any freight train might go. asking that the trio be apprehended. Scores of citizens, afoot and on horseback, are search ing the marshes near the town. The quest is greatly hampered by sleet and snow. D. C. Pain ten at Meeting.
