Discussion of whether the Board of
Education should pay the expenses

automobile consumed considerable
time at the monthly meeting of the
board held at the senior high school
last night. No definite action was
taken on the question although sev-
eral members of the board express-
ed the opinion that. expenses attach-
cd to the automobile should be paid
by the city. The matter was finally
referred to the Teachers"'committcc
with power.
The subject was brought up be-
fore the meeting by Dr. William J.
Tracey who declared that he felt
that. inasmuch as the automobile
used by the school nurse was owned
by the city. the expenses attached
to operat‘ihg and keeping up the ma-
chine should be paid by the city. lie
declared that. there was only one
school nurse to 6.000 children and
that she. in addition to visiting the
schools. had to visit individual
homes. .

Clinton B. Rowland agreed with
Dr. Tracey. Mrs. Lane expressed
the same opinion as did Dr. George
G. Fawoett. Mrs. Lane declared.
however. if the city was to pay for
the upkeep of the our the 8100 al-
lowed the school nurse for trans—
portation should be refunded. Doug-
las E. Nash suggested that the
School committee should in a flat
mileage rate and allow transporta-
tion for the school nurse on her to-
tal mileage.
Dr. Tracey made a motion that
the $100 allowed the school nurse
for transportation be refunded and
that the school board pay the ox-
pen-es of the automobile. Dr. Faw-
cott wanted to know if the board in-
tacbedato the "our Up to the present

would not be fair to ask that. the en-
tire 8100 be refunded. To end the
matter. the subject. was referred to

TVASHINGTO‘S. Feb. 8,—As the

tribute and respect. to day to W'ood-

ments for the funeral of America‘s
war President were completed and

stood idle in honor to the dead; the
great government departments set
free swarming thousands from of-

in the tribute. At. spaced intervals
all the way up the wide avenue that
leads from the “'iison home to the
cathedral. soldiers and marines were
in place to hold once the road.
A Silent Spectacle.
There was little but. respect for
the dead to draw 'these silent watch-
ers away from the busy thorough-
fares of the city into the outlaying.
quiet streets that the short funeral
procession will travel. It was to
be a silent spectacle, without mart-
ial display or the mourning of great
bands. They could not hear the pri-
vatc service at the home and only
a few could catch the echoes of the
more formal ceremony at the chapel
where the body of the fallen leader
would be cntombed. Yet they came
to stand hour by hour. just to watch
in silence as the casket was carried
swiftly ~by. '

for the funeral party. .
Others of the distinguished com-
pany destined to witness the chapel
ceremony were carried by round—
about ways to the catherdal and all
were in their places in the dim
chapel before the funeral party ar-
rived. There was only standing
space for those behind .the few
chairs set for the family and for
President Coolidge and his cabinet.

0n the south side of "S” street.
even pedestraln .trafflc had been
closed off to keep the way clear for
the entire block. Opposite. where
through the long hours of Mr. W“-

line that sometimes lneeled in pray-

Many lined the high banked earth

theirs were the hands commissioned
to bear their honored burden into
the low-set, dimly ~lighted room
where the final service would be
said. The distant chanting of the
organ. set to funeral dirge, marked
their slow progress.
The Last. Words.
Bishop Freeman had arranged
with his Presbyterian colleagues the
order in which the burial service
would be shared. While thos’rinted
service. prepared that the company
in the chapel gathered to do honor
to the dead might share in the ex-
ercises. followed the Episcopal rit-
ual in a measure. participation by
the clcrgymen 'of Mr. Wilson's own
faith in its ministry gave a touch
of non-sectarianism to the ceremony-
that could only servo to emphasize
its simplicity.
For those outside the small chapel
grouped back under the leafless
trees of the cathedral grounds or out
beyond in the nearby streets and
avenues. provision had been made
to carry the service with amplifiers.
To a host of listeners far and wide
the radio waves were set to carry the
solemn words and blended chords
of the choir.
And there was nothingmoreto
this funeral. His actual entomb»
meat was reserved for the eyes of
his own loved ones alone and the
