One of the members of the drill committee in talking with a Star reporter to-day in regard to ‘the action of the Woman’s Temperance Union in protesting against the sale of liquors within the fit of the Camipysaid he thought tue ladies anade agreat mistake. “The trouble 1s,” he sald, “that ‘Uhis protest of the ladies and the consequent clos- ing of the bar within the camp will not effect such a change on the tastes and habits of the soldiers ‘who are coming here as will cause them to give up the use of liquor. If that was the case the mem- ders of the committee would be very glad; but ‘this matter should be regarded practically and not from any theoretical standpoint. He considered Uhat these men would probably want Mquor and We determined to let them have it under the restrictions of camp life. ‘The bur was attached to the restaurant, and ‘those who wanted beer or wine or somé liquor with their meals could have it; but now they will be obliged to go out in the city, and we will witness the spectacle of soldiers filling our saloons, with all the Fs to Lhe pubile peace arising from the meeting of large numbers of men in such places. “I think that thts could have been ayolded to a large extent by having Uquor sold within the camp, subject to camp rules and regu- lations; much of the evils of. drinking could have been averted. The ladies, in order to be con- sistent in thelr efforts to help their fellow-me1 should change their natures so that they woul not desire liquor; then they should close up all the saloons iusidé and outside the camp.

REPORT OF THR SCHOOL COMMITTER OF CITIZENS’ A8- SOCIATION, NO. 4—RESOLUTIONS IN REGARD TO THR INCREASE OF THE WATER TAX—THE USR OF THE HENRY BUILDING. Citizens’ Association, No. 4, held a meeting last evening at Carroll Institute Hall, Mr. A. C. Rich- ards in the chair, and E, W. Donn, secretary. The Committee on schools, through its chairman, Mr. Noble D. Larner, submitted a report. The report Was signed by Messrs Larner, A.C. Richards and Simon Wolf, and stated that this association, find- ing the District authorities had negiected to re- commend any appropriation to build scbool- houses for the common schools of the second di- vision, although recommending large appropria- Uons to build annexes for the high schools, in- structed its committee on schools to apply to Congress for relief. WHAT THE COMMITTEE DID. ‘The committee, therefore, had a conference ‘with the Senate sub-committee, of which Senator Plumb was chairman, and stated the condition and needs of the common schools of the second division, a8 to school bull ‘and especially of that part of the division lying south of Massa- chusetts avenue and east of 9th street, and sug. gested that the cost of the site and of’ an elghi faom school Duilding in that locality would be, in 1t opinion, about $35,000. Incidentally, ‘the poucy. indicated by the official estimates, of en- ing the high schools at the expense of ‘the common’ schools came up, and was very emphatically disay wed, not only by the citizens’ committee, but oy tub Senate sub-com- mittee, Subsequently both houses of Congress concurred in granting Uberal appropriations for this purpose.” ‘The appropriation for one of the School houses was made in bulk for the purpose, as the committee unde of enabling’ the Commissioners to purchase 2 ate in the neighbor: hood of Judiciary Square, A site in this locality might cost more than $10,000, and if so the Dull ing Would have to be correspandingly cheapened, “This section of the city,” the report states, “SO neglected as to school accommodations, is bounded onthe north by Massachusetts avenue, on the west by 9th street, on the south by the Mall, and ‘on the east by North Capitol street, and embraces more than flity squares in the heart of the city, all densely populated and heavily ‘but without a single public school-room of any kind, elther Owned or fented, and tt was tor une purpose of re- Meving this particular section that your commit- ‘Vee made its appeal to Congress.” AN ADVISORY SCHOOL BOARD. “The school board, which formerly represented the people in the management of their schools, has now been reduced to a mere advisory agency of the Commissioners, who themselves are the agents of the National Executive and rulers over the Dis- trict people, but not thelr representatives. ‘These facts our rulers take care wo impress upon the people as, opportunity offers and so it as Rap. pened that sites for the school buildings for division have lately been selected and purchased at high figures as compared with assessments, oF the sate of adjoining property, and in utter disre- gard of the wishes and needs of the people, and Just where tie sites are not wanted. One site 13 on Vermont avenue, between T and U streeta. This site stands on tue’ assessor's books at a valuation Of $3,084; Unat {t was sold and transferred in July, 1880, for $7,849.88, and that the Commissioners paid for it the sum of $10,496.53, being a fraction over $1 per foot. The other site hus been pur- Chased in the northerly part of the extreme eastern border of the division, that 1s on North Capitol street, between K and Listreets in a neighborhood already overstocked with schcol buildings. ‘The cost of the lot was $9,984, a fraction over 65 cents per foot.” TO ENLAROE THE HIGH SCHOOL. ‘The Commissioners and their Superintendent of Schools and their Advisory Schoo! Board, as your committee is informed, have abolished examina- tions for admission to the High School, and thus the doors of the High School have been thrown open to all comers whom the Grammar School principals may choose to send, or the District offl- cersand thelr superintendent, through importu- nity or favoritism, may choose to admit, or cause to be admitted, whether possessing the ‘necessary qualifications toenter or not. In this way a flood Of appilcants quite beyond the present seating ca- pacity of the butlding, will be brought to the door of the High School, ‘and a pressure will, 1t 1s thought, be thereby created sufficient vo excuse the seizure and appropriation of the Henry Bulld- ing, or part of it, as an annex to the High School, If Uals be the purpose, and we ure led to believe Such 1s the purpose of’ those now having charge of ‘the schools, from # suggestion made by one of the trustees of public schovis at a meeting of the board held i ely after the adjourninent of the last Congress, When the failure to obtain an appro- riation for the enlargement of the High School ullding Was under discussion, viz: That a “por- ton of the Henry bullding could be used for nigh- school purposes", 1 affords some explanation of the probable motive for locauing the two new bulldings where they may be made available to re- celve the pupils about to be turned out of the Henry. Bus such a seizure. and sppropriaiion of the Henry building, or a part of it, w 0 Goun injury to tie common schocis of the second division, but would accomplish indirectly what ‘Congress declined to do directly. Indeed, 1f any one fact, in relation to school affairs, was empha- sized by'the action of Congress at its late session, 4 was the fact that the High School ought not to be further enlarged, until the common schools had Deen provided for. “The wishes of the citizens of the second school division having been entirely by those having charge of our public schools, and the evi- dent intention of Congress having been thwarted by the recent purchase of the school sites, your committee has deemed it to be its duty to lay be- fore you ull the facts in the case, with the view of having the association consider the matter and issue lo your committee such instructions as you may deem necessary under the circumstances.” ‘The report was adopted, after remarks by Gen, Hovey and Mr. Simon Wolt. ‘MORE WORK FOR THE COMMITTEE. Mr. W.W.Burdette offered the resolutions, which were adopted: “First. That the committee on schools be requested to continue its efforts to obtain suitable school-rooms for the school children of that part of the second division lying south of Massa~ chusetts avenue and east of 9th street, which part Is now destitute; and to this end sald commitvee is jereby instructed to again apply to Congress relief, explaining to the proper committee of that body how and why the appropriation made tn re- response to the former appeal has tailed of its purpose.
