NO APPROPRIATION FOR SCHOOL BOOKS Committee Picks New Text Books for Public Schools, But Lacks Money. HIGH SCHOOLS NOT HIT Changes Probable There, as Pupils Buy Their Own Books. Introduction of new text books in the elementary public schools at the beginning of the 1921-1922 academic year next September may be preclud- ed by the lack of appropriations, ac- cording to school officials. It is pointed out that there are virtually no funds with which to buy books, and as the urgent deficiency appro- priation bill, as reported to the House, carries only $15,000 for sup- plies, nearly all of this amount will have to be utilized in purchasing writing paper to last through the present school year. The text book question now is up- permost in the minds of school of- ficials and teachers, due to th& fact that Supt. Frank W. Ballou is prepar- ing to make recommendations to the board of education Wednesday call- ing for changes in September in a number of books in use in the high and graded schools. The superintend- ent has received reports from text book committees he appointed last October which indicate the books that should be replaced by more mod- ern texts. These reports he is ex- pected to approve and submit to the school board for its action at Wednes- day's session. Dr. Ballou and other officials have felt for some time that many of the books now in use should be replaced by others more suitable for children attending the schools of today. The superintendent has stated that it is his aim to provide the District school children with the best available books. The shortage of appropriations, however, will not prevent the intro- duction of new books in the high schools, as students in these institu- tions are compelled to purchase their own supplies. It is believed that about eight new books will be recom- mended by the superintendent for use in the high schools next year. These will include foreign language, English, geography and history. ‘Among the changes to be recom- mended in the elementary school text books are grammar, history and lan- guage. WOULD EXEMPT UNIONS. Amendment to Coal Regulation Bill Proposed by Gompers. An amendment to the Calder coal regulation bill. exempting labor unions from the operation of the bill _was proposed to the Senate manufao- tures committee yesterday afternoon by Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor. The amendment suggested by Mr. Gompers follows: ovided, that nothing in this act shall be construed as to apply to trades unions or other labor organi- zations instituted for the purpose of regulating wages, hours of labor and other conditions under which labor is to be performed.” Unless such an amendment was adopted, Mr. Gompers said, the bill ‘would -be.opposed vigorously. KANAKA ELEPHANT NOW AN EXPERT AT HUSKING COCOANUTS IN HAWAII HONOLULU, T. H., February 11. —*“Daisy,” the African elephant in the Kapiolani Park Zoo, in Hono- lulu, has developed into a complete copra plant, according to recent visitors to the bungalow in the park where Daisy lives. Visitors say that the big pachy- derm has developed the husking of green cocoanuts to a fine art, with a speed of one every two minutes. It usually takes a novice at husk- ing cocoanuts anywhere from ten minutes to an hour to break into one with a hammer and chisel. Daisy's interest in” her new in- dustry lies in the fact that when the cocoanut is husked she cracks the shell and allows the sweet milk to trickle down her gelephan- tine gullet. FLOOD OF VISITORS TOHARDING GROWS Office Seekers and Others Offering Advice Speed to St. Augustine. By the Associated Press. ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla., February 11. —The quadrennial tidal wave of office seekers and advice givers that always engulfs a President-elect on the eve of his inauguration is rising steadily about Warren G. Harding’s headquar- ters here. Screened away from Marion by the conference of “best minds,” and then held at bay for three weeks while Mr. Harding was on vacation, the rush of the job-hungry and the hobby-rid ers promises now to assume the pro- portions of a deluge. Its force is not softened by the circumstance that re- publicanism has not tasted of the plums of patronage for eight years. List of Large Proportions. ‘With just three weeks remaining before the advent of the new admin- istration, more than one of the aspir- ing is becoming less and less con- fident of his prospects ang is taking his case into his own bahds with a certain touch of despesftion. So Mr. Harding’s appointment list, even after it has been boiled down and spread out to dry by his secretaries, has assumed large proportions. Of course, many of those who have engagements to see him have been summoned for consultation on very serious problems, but the President- elect prides himself on being a good| listener and he wants to be accessible to every one. Consequently a goodly portion of the people he feels com- pelled to see are those who want something for themselves or for their friends and who insist on presenting their case éven though the selection of a cabinet and the preparation of an inaugural address must wait.’ Despite thé influx of visitors, how- ever, Mr. Harding expects to keep & portion of each day for work of his own choosing and another period for exercise. Golf Game and Moter Ride. To offset his heavy appointment list today, he arranged a golf game for the afternoon and planned to take an automobile ride before dinner. The President-elect came back from his vacation in fine spirits and ap- parently in perfect condition physi- cally. As a precaution, however, his physician, Dr. E. C. Sawyer of Marion, who has accompanied him on every previous trip away from home since his_nomination, is expected to come to St. Augustine to remain unmtil inau- guration. ; THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.
