Commissioners, inviting attention to recent legislation looking to the selection of sites for the erection of additional school buildings in ‘the various divisions, your committee begs leave to report: That in the 6th and 7th divisions the sites are indicated specifically in the District bill, ‘a8 also one of the sites in the 3rd division. In the divisions named in the bill where the sites sre to ‘be selected and purchased, after mature considera- ‘tion and conference with the several local trustees, and looking carefully and wholly to the interests of the v: the additional selgol ascomonations: the obs mittee deems it advisable to restrict its recom- mendations to localities, leaving the selection of the particular sites to be d« ed by the Hol Cominissioners believing that within tuese stated, mits, all the purposes of the bill will be achieved and the greatest possible latitude of action be afforded in determining upon the most eligible sites, thus subserving in every way the best interests ot ‘the Disttict:—and therefore would designate as follows: Second division, between ‘7th ‘and 10th, § and boundary streets northwest. Between Pentsylvania avenue and D, 1st and 3d ‘streets northwest. Third division, between 2d and 5th, north of “¢ and south of E'streets north- east, (In addition to the site specifically indicated in the District bill, Fourth division, between 34 and 6th, H and K street northwest, Eighth division, between 2d and 4th sti th Carolina and Virginta avenues southeast in close proximity to Gartield circle to obtain the benefit Of the open space, corner of 3d and G streets or corner of 3d and Virginia avenue preferred.” ‘The report was ay ‘and will be sent to the Commissioners. The question of the location of the school in the fourth or South Washington division has already been decided by the Commis- stoners, and not in accordance with the recom- fons of the school board. FIRE RSCAPES ON SCHOOL BUILDINGS. ‘Mr. Ross had the secretary read the recently en- acted fire-escape law, which, among other pro- ‘visions, makes the trustees responsible for placing fire escapes on school buildings, and providing other precautions against fire. taiif; Youmson sald that the Commissioners’ order e care idings from the trustees re- Meved the board from responsibility. ‘Mr. Ross asked Whether they could get over the Jaw in this way. It was, he sald, the most pecu- lar law he ever saw. It made thé school directors personally, responsible after thirty days’ notice, hough it does not say who 1s to give the notice, ‘The appropriation act gave $5,000 forthe work, but does not make tt immediately available, It gave the money to the Commissioners, but thelaw holds the trustees responsible, Upon motion of Mr, Fish the matter was referred to the committee on bunldings and repatrs, to con- fer with the Commissioners with the view of de- ‘vermining Where the responsibility rests.

CIVIL SERVICE IN THE SCHOOLS. A Subject Discussed By The Depart- ment of Superintendence Last Night. The Nationol Department of School Superinten- dents discussed civil service reform at their ses- ston atthe National museum last night, ‘Those who spoke on the subject were pretty nearly all civil service reformers, and that sentiment was loudly applauded by the assemblage of men and women, which pretty nearly filled the lecture hall. Mr. W. E. Sheldon, LL. D., president of the National Educational association, introduced the subject with a few remarks, after which the dis- cussion proceeded, ‘THE SPOILS SYSTEM IN THE SCHOOLS. ‘The first speaker was Mr. Leroy D. Brvwn, of Columbus, Ohio, state commissioner of common schools, He said that the spoils system, of which 80 much was said in had madeits a fon were Sous amen ney inthe, AI cal for the money In them. If tt ‘be the purchase of a site, the sciection of & plan, OF the giving of a contract, it was not the most suitable site, the best plans, or the most advan- ‘tageous contract, but the per cent the members of ‘the board were to get from the transaction which controlled the selection, He said he was fortified With facts, and figures that these considerations controlied in m&ny towns and cities, Even the Presidents of the boards of education got their ap- intments in ition of money considerations in @ Word, the spofls system Was in the schools. He would’ not say that the same method of cor- Tecting this that was followed in Ohio would be in West Virginia, or in Mississippi, but cer- fainly intelligence should be a factor in the selec. tion, and, above all things, character should be considered. In the study of the question of civil service reform he had been struck with its appll- Gation to the public schoo! system. He tnought that those interested _in the schools should fee! to ‘What a degree they were indebted to Mr. Dorman B. Eaton and other gentlemen who had interested themselves In this matter, and particularly were they indebted to the Institution of Civics, He thought it a matter of earnest congratulation that civil service reform sentiments were growing so ly throughout the country, and particularly in Washington. ‘THE AYPOINTMENT OP TEACHERS. He was followed by Hon. B.S. Morgan, of West Virginia, Who spoke of the effect of civil service reform in the schools in making teaching a pro- fession. He said that the sentiment of civil ser- ‘vice reform was having the effect upon schools 80 that in the most intelligent communities teachers Were appointed on account of qualification, and being appointed there was an understanding that they should not be removed except for cause. He said, however, that such qualifications as would enable s man'to pass well through a mental ex- amination, did not necessarily fit aman or woman Scevei cca Se Sonos teat Gagne to be considered us = WHERE THE FAULT LIER. He was followed by A. N. Barringer, who was not So much @ civil service reformer as the rest. He said that from what had been said on the subject it appeared that self-government and the election system Was a failure. He was not ready to accept as a fact. He Was conscious that there was something Wrong; that there was a loas of the sense of ‘duty, and he could see that the spoils system might have something to do with the case, Dut he was not prepared to renounce the election system in favor of the appointance. He thought they should go to the fountain head. ‘The detect was in the school system somewhere. He thought ft best that puplls should be impelled by a sense of duty rather than by the fever of competition and the mere desire to get ahead of each other, even if it was by pushing others down, He suid he was talking with a school superintendent, who complained that some of his teach: ers were not just as competent as he would desire. ‘These teachers had been instructed in the public schools under this very superintendent, and he (the speaker) wanted to know how it was that they should be deficient. It must be on a count of the system and must have been the super- intendent’s own fault. The speaker had asked himself what boys were good for. He had thought for fifteen years on the subject." Suddenly it had come to him that they were good to make men of. And this was his idea, that the public schools ‘should not make doctors, lawyersor clergymen, or politicians or legislators of the boys and girls, but to make men and women of them. That once ac- complished they could make anything they wanted to of themselves. He did not take so much to the Civil service reform view of the situation. MB. BALLARD'S IDEA. ‘Mr. Thomas P. Ballard, of Columbus, Ohio, the last speaker on the official program, believed thoroughly in civil service reform. He thought Phat the proper test for ctvil appointment should be that of scholarship in the public schools. He spoke of civil appointments under the govern- ment as something in the nature of rewards or scholarships to be attained by the boys and girls trained at the expense of the people in the public Schools, He thought that what these students devdted twelve years to learning under govern- Ment instructions ought not to nore ater wards by the government in making appoint- ments, He deplored the want of confidence on the part of the government fn the public schools, and the corresponding lack of confidence on thé art of the schools in the politics of the country. i¢ thought. much attention should be given to civics in the public schools. He safd that the function of teachers should be the laying of the foundations of citizenship, and the same training would fit men for the civil service. Civil service reform should commend itself to all schoolmen on Account of the opportunities it opened up for young men and women. WHAT OTHER SPEAKERS SAID. Superintendent George G. Luckey, of Pittsburg, Pa,, sald that the real dimiculty was not_ with the election system, but that the power of election had passed from the people to the rings, and the problem was how to so educate the people that they can educate themselves. Dr. H. R. Walte, of Boston, president: of the American Institute of Clvies, Said it was the duty of the superintendents to Inspire the teachers with more earnest pul in thelr great work of training up American citi- zens. J. D. Hale, of Washington, sald he was in favor of civil service if it was Mmited to the Schools, Politics should be separated from schools and they should do nothing nore than train w eitizens and not to train up clerks for the civil Service, ‘The discussion was continued by A. P. Marble, Ph. D., city superintendent of the schools Of Worcester, Mass, and W.H. Anderson, super- intendent of schools of Wheeling, W.Va. ‘THE AFTERNOON SESSION. At the afternoon session of the department of superintendence yesterday when, as stated in Tar Stax, the topic, “A Teachers’ Certificate” was dis- gussed, the president anuounced that Senator Blair Would take part in the discussion of the sub- Ject of “The Relation of Our Public Schools to the General government,” in place of Hon.

The American cardinals held another reception in the palace of the propaganda tn Rome yester- day and the attendance was as large as that of ‘Monday. At the reception of the new French car- dinal recently elevated to the purple which was held yesterday, ladies were demed admittance as it is contrary to etiqueete on such occastous. ‘The | fair sex, however, were again admitted to the re- ception by the Atherican cardinals in deference to the wishes of Cardinal Gibbous, who insisted that 1. was an American custom, and as he was an American, their presence was desirable. ‘The rule Was, therefore, set aside for the Ume being, and the cardinal’s gallanury was rewarded by & per- fect avalanche of ladies who swarmed about and vied with each other in doing hun honor, ABSENCE OF MONSIGNOR STRANIERO. A Rome special to the Philadelphia Press says: ‘The absence of Monsignor Straniero at both recep- tons was remarked py every one, He will be re- | membered us the papal ablegate who conveyed the beretta to Cardinal GIbbuns. at ‘the Baltlinore cathedral upon the occasion of the cardinals ele- vation to the sacred college. Rumors were rite as to the cause of Monsignor Straniero’s absence, several going so far as to say that he had gotten into some distavor with the vatican for assuming too much responsibility upon his recent visit to America, Others explained his failure to appear by stating that he was not invited, but a majority thought he was deterred by the fact that he has been living in retirement since his return to Rome. AMERICANS PRESENT. ‘Monsignor O’Brien, the bearer of the beretta to Cardinal Taschereau, however, was present, as ‘Was Count Mucciola with his young wife, formerly Miss Terry, of Chi 8.C. ‘The countess was arieston, charmingly au and was bly the hand.

THE GLYNN AFFAIR. ‘The correspondence between Cardinal Simeont and Archbishop Corrigan in relation to the Mc- Glynn matter is still tn progress. By persons who have access to the vatican it was asserted t-day that Dr. McGlynn Will not come to Rome, and that Cardinal Gibbons wiil not espouse his cause before the Vatican. Should this prove true the | doctor's excommunication is not uniikelf to fol- low soon, as to disobey Rome means such defiance as the pope cannot afford to tolerate.
