THE ABOLITION OP HALF-DAY SCHOOLS URGED—THE ‘NEEDS OP THE SCHOOLS IN DIFFERENT DIVISIONS— INCREASED ESTIMATES FOR THE SUFFORT OF THE SCHOOLS, ETC. A special meeting of the school board to con- ‘sider the estimates for the year ending June 30, 1889, was held at the Franklin building last night. Mr. Whelpley, the new trustee, arrived shortly after the proceedings opened, and a recess was taken while he was introduced to the other mem- bers present, NOT TO STUDY AT HOME. ‘The resolution introduced by Mr. Fish at the last meeting, directing that it should be made a rule that the children in the first five grades be required to study at school only and be given no tasks for study at home, was taken up. Mr. Darl- ington asked to have the resolution go over until there should be a full meeting of the board. This motion failing, he moved to amend 80 as to exclude the fitth grade, ‘There was a aiscus- jon on this amendment, Mr, Fish opposing it. Mr. Powell, the superintendent of the schools, ‘who Was present, was questioned as to the appll- cation of the resolution, He said that he consid- ered it destrable that the children under twelve years be given no tasksto study at home of nights. he thought that the children of the fifth grade would lose nothing from the adoption of the reso- lution as offered by Mr. Fish, He thought that thelr studies could be so arranged that they need hot study at home, and yet they would be as well prepared to enter a higher grade at the end of the term as if they had been given tasks that took up all their time for study.” ‘They could do all the studying they ought to do during school hours. Mr. Darlington’s amendment was rejected, and the resolution as presented was adopted. ‘THE NEED OF SCHOOL-ROOMS. Mr. Fish then read the proposed statement of estimates, showing the number of school-rooms owned by the District, the number rented, those now occupied that are unfit for use, and the num- ber of additional rooms needea, The statement showed that a large number of the rooms in use were utterly unfit to be occupled, and Mr. Powell Stated to the board that some of these were 30 damp that the boards in the floor swelled up out of place. One of the rooms occupied by the chil- dren in the Montgomery street school was ten feet below the surface of the ground, THE ALF-DAY SYSTEM, In connection with the estimates was read a Paper prepared by Mr. Powell, urging that suf- ficient room be given the schools to enable them to do away with the half-day system in the lower grades. | He urged that the Iitule children in those grades particularly required that a great deal of Ume be given them that they might learnwith thelr eyes and senses rather than by memorizing. He urged that there should be more of a progressive development from the kinaergarten, They should have a longer time and be more at home in the schools. Under the half-day system, he said, they had to be rushed through certain tasks that, they were obliged to memorize, most frequently without understanding, and the teachers were conscious that justice was not done the ‘children, but “it ‘was not in thelr power to do’ better under the circumstances. The statement of estimates sald that since there Was so much needed for the schools 1t had been thonght best to estimate only for What was abso- lutely necessary, leaving the nalf-day schools as they were; and ‘in somé cases only half of what Was urgently needed was estimated for. ‘This was the case as to the seventh and elghth divisions. Mr, Darllugton moved that estimates be made for Just what Was needed in those grades instead of only half, and ivwas the unanimous opinion of the board thatthts should be done. ‘The estimates were changed accordingly, THE HIGH SCHOOLS. ‘The needs of the high schools were recited in the statement as read, but no estimate made. The question to be decided before making this estimate was whether there should be a new wing bullt Onto the present white high school building where there fs plenty of room on the lot, or a new bulld- ing erected in anotner part of the city. Mr. Dar- Mngton said that while 1t might be conventent to some people to have ‘another building, it would cost much more, and if it had_ poorer accommoda- tions there would be discontent among those who could not go to, the best school, ‘There would be better equipmént for an addition to the present building, and higher eMfictency would bé attained by having the school all as one, Mr. Curtis ex. pressed. similar opinion, and it was agreed unani- mously to estimate for a wing to the western part Of ue present higueschool ullding’ at a cost of ‘The hext question was as to the building of a colored high school for the accommodation of the 276 pupils in the Miner building, which is rented. It was decided that a twelve-rdom building was necessary, and the estimates were made totaclude $75,000 for the building and lot, With regard to the Normal School Mr. Powell said that it was better provided for than Were the grammar schools, SCHOOL-ROOMS OWNED AND RENTED. As to the needs of school room, the statement showed that 1n the first division the District ‘owned sixty-seven rooms and rented three rooms, and that of these elght_were unfit for use; that Uhere were enrolled 4,379 pupils, and that there was room for only 33350. "Therefore they needed for that division twenty-eight more rooms. ‘That in the second division there were elghty- nine rooms owned by the District, 5,404 puplis enrolled, and room for only 4,430; ‘and therefore need for pineteen more rooms. "That in the third division there were seventy-elght rooms owned and two rented, and that four of those owned Were unfit for use. The pupils en- rolled numbered 4,656, with room for only 3,900. Fiiteen more roouis needed, ‘That tn the fourth division there were forty-four rooms owned by the District, elght of which were unfit for use. The enrollment showed 2,714 pupils, and there was room for only 2,200. ‘Ten rooms more were needed. ‘That in the Nth division twenty-nine rooms were owned by the District and turty-tive rented. ‘The enrollment showed 1,809 pupils, While there was reo for but 1,450: Seven rooms more were needed, | Eight” of ‘the rooms in this diviston, owned by “the District, were wholly un: aU for use, and two eight - room buildings should be provided. ‘That in the sixth division thirteen more rooms were needed. There were Uwenty-tive tor white and twenty-six for col- ored pupils owned and three for white rented. By the enrolinent there Were 1,497 white and 1,703 colored pupils, and there was room for 1,250 white and 1,300 colored. That in the seventh division ‘fifty-one rooms were owned, of which eleven were unilt for use and five were rented, ‘The enrolment showed 4,508, and the accommodations were for only 2.258 pupils, ‘That in the eighth division fifty-three rooms were owned, of which twelve were unfit for use, and five were rented.

PRACTICAL AID TO SHIP-BUILDING—PROBABLE BIRTH- PLACE OF THE NOVEL FEATURES OF THE THISTLE— AN RXPERINENTAL TOWING-TANK WANTED IN THIS country. Correspondence of Tax Evzxtxe Stan. ‘New Yor, Sept. 27. ‘While traveling in Scotland last autumo, Fred. D. Owen, of Temple Court, New York city, was Very much Interested im many of the engineering Points in and around Glasgow and the Ciyde, made famous by the many large shtp-building companies and yards located upon its banks, He visited some of the more celebrated ones in the immediate vicinity of Glasgow, as Jno. Eldor & Co. and the Messrs. Denny Bros, at Dunbarton on the Clyde, While at the ofiice of the latter the sub- Ject of the Mayflower-Galatea race, which had just taken place, was brought up and discussed by one of the brothers and Mr. Owen, The Scotchman said: “We are beaten again and rather badly, too, which indicates that the Ameri- cans have made 4 study of such crafts.” He then Said that he should think the American engineers and those most interested in ship building gene ally would exert themselves to study up themnany necessary points to perfect their merchant marine, as the builders bad upon the Clyde, and trai American goods in American bottoms in piace of English-built ships. Mr. Owen replied that there were many obstacles in the Way of such needed developments, but that we hoped soon to make a Detter showing than at present. It was sugested by Mr. Owen that it would seem but natural for the English to apply that advice to their ‘own yacht models and to study them, as it was sug- gested we should study our merchant marine, so as to send over a boat that would not only regain the long sought America’s cup, but show some new lines, as in the case of the fast English ocean greyhounds, tothe gentleman that he ‘Mr. Owen ‘si get hls friends together and have a model designed y their best architect, and experiment with a paraffine model cast and cut to scale in the famous towing-tank and get at some new facts and elim!- nate old worn out ideas, This towing-tank al- luded to, at Dumbarton on the Clyde, owned by Messrs. benny Bro. 18 said to be the most per- fect, “best equipped and housed sheet ot models of vessels, And there is no telling what may be the frult of such a plant for the yachting World. Suffice it to say that a few days after this interview an article appeared in the leading Glas. (ad Paper stating that a company had been formed with @ large capital to design, bulla and equip 4 yacht that would be Clyde-bulit_ and manned, and would challenge the best American productions for the America’s cup. This towing- ‘tank was built for the express purpose of EXPERIMENTING WITH MODELS OF VESSELS which are to be butlt in hopes of determining what alterations and changes are necessary in their Lines to develope the best results in effecting a saving to the owners in the ship's proputsion, Iu was said on very good authority that a saving of $7,000 on the construction of some plans was effected to the owner by experimenting with a parafine tnodel prepared to scale from the pro- sed drawings by changing and improving the ines of the original by ideas suggested by repeated trials in this housed sheet of water. ‘The piant in question 13 about Teet long ‘by 20 feet In breadth. ‘The tank proper i 300 feet long by 20 in breadth, and has 6 feet depth of water. The sides are of masonry, with cemented wails and bottom. ‘The roof which covers the whole is a very low form of the A pattern, with numerous skylights, From the roof are supported by means of hangers the foot-paths, of some 3 feet, on each side of the way, which ts about 4 feet in width by 300 feet long. Upon this hanging path is supported a track and traveling frame or car- riage, which carries the guiding arm and register- ing mechanism. This traveling steering frame, Which is drawn by steam-power, carries the opera. tor and a delicately-placed lever arm that directs, and drives the model, which floats on the mirror- like surface of the water below, and connects with the electrical mechanism on the carriage, ‘which registers by a pencil on a cylinder carrying a plece of ruled paper driven by clockwork the Tesistance of the model per scale which has been adopted. The whole frame, mechanism, and model, when adjusted, is then drawn along at a certain rate of speed by steam-power from a sta- Uonary engine at the endof the building by means of a wire cable, and at a 5} roportionate to the seale of the model. A! tance as to the bow-wave or entrance and run aré readily noticed by the automatic electrical device showing on the aper diagram. ‘The m In paraffine is pre- pared from the original working-scale drawing taking a block of the material, which has been previously cast in a mold of the required size usually 6 or 7 feet in length, and cut- Ung it down as required. “The quantity’of para- fine which 1s necessary 13 heated to the fluid state by steam heat ina cauldron, and is then carried in ptpes to the mould. When cold tt is dressed down, and any waste inthe preparation by cut- Ung Gut the model and subsequent shaving off as fulred oF si ted is all saved, together with old models, and re-meited for future work or.use. This rough cast of paraffine, some 7 feet long, ts then put ina machine and frame supported of a track, which travels similar to the bed of a planer, and rapidly revolving knives cut by means of an indicator, which 1s controled and moved to foliow the lines ’correctly tothe scale drawing by the operator in charge of the work, It is then dressed down and polished by hand. When fintshed the model fs hollowed out so as to have the same pro- rtionate displacement and water-line that the Finger vesselis to have, - When all 1s ready peuted experiments .and trials narrow down by previously collected data and known laws any de- fects in Uhe lines Of the sheer, floor, or run of the vessel, So that a model tested in this way will be nearer to perfection, according tothe work and purposes for which'the vessel 1s required, than any of her sister ships built on tne old Ume-worn Tule of three by other vullders Repeated experiments in this wonderful tank have given the company of Messrs. Denny Bros, very many valuable polnts and tables con- cerning the lines and desirable potnts of a vessel, and agreat advantage over thelr neighbors lo: cated farther as biyde or elsewhere in Eng- land. It is rhly probable that the famous Scotch beauty which has but very recently come from that famous ship-bullding center, now an- chored in our waters, has been put through some Such experimental ‘school, where not only new Iines and ideas are discovered, but actually taken advantage of and embodied ih the yacht in course of construction, ‘The construction of an experi- mental towing-tank has been proposed by some enthusiastic oMeers of our Navy and a few promi nent gentlemen outside, but as yet no definite steps have been taken by our Government in this direction. It 1s a plant much needed and wouid save our Government and merchant marine very many times the cost of the undertaking. Our country would thus keep pace with our Scotch and English friends in search of peter and more use- ful ideas in the building of our vessels, crestemadoe edhe ‘Tae Lyrigation Over Storr, CromwELt & Co.'s APrarns.—In the equity sults Of Michael J.

The commander-tn-chief, Gen. Fatrchild, presided. The annual address of the commander-in-chiet, which 1s very long, was then presented. He was Pleased to announce the evidence of the permanent and healthy growth of the Grand Army of the Re- Public, and for the strong love of the order enter- tained by the loyal people of thiscountry. That this may continue, he earnestly cautioned every member that he keep a watchful guard over him- self when he acts or speaks as a member of the G. A.

From Adjutant General Gray's report he learned. that the total number of members borne on the Tolls of the order at the last national encampment | Was 326,499. The number reported June 30, 1887, Was 372.674, actual gain ta five quarters 46,157.

The council of administration has invested $20,000 of the surplus funds of the order in bonds of the United States, Memorial day was more generally and appropri- ately observed this year than ever before. This day—sacred to the memory of the fallen defenders of the republic—has become a most impressive and instructive national holiday. THE MT. M'GREGOR COTTAGE. A letter had been received by him, he said, from Joseph W. Drexel, offering in perpetuity the cot- tage on Mt. McGregor In which Gen. U. 8. Grant Spent his last days to the survivors of those gal- lant men Who saved the country, the only con on being that the cottage and’ the surrounding | grounds be held in trust by chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, the pres- ident of the Mt. McGregor Raflway Company, and another to be named by the donor. Gen. Fairchild recommended that tt be referred ‘to the incoming, commander-in-chief, with authority to accept sat- isfactory arrangements. THE CHARLESTON EARTHQUAKE. In September last, when the citizens of Charles- ton, S. C., Were suffering from the effects of a ter- rible earthquake, the Grand Army joined in the reilef, He, In company with Adjutant-General Gray, went to the stricken elty and called upon Uhe comrades to raise money for relief. Collections Were rapidly made, and $7,047 was reported. It Was understood that there was no immediate haste, and before the collections had gotten fairly under way the mayor of Chari telegraphed headquarters that no further ald would be re- quired. Had the needs of Charleston requtred 1t, he felt assured that $100,000 could have been raised Within another month, IN THE MATTER OF PENSIONS {thas beengn alin of the order to have Congress grant rellef0r the pressing needs of the comrades, ‘The Government has responded in many instances. Influence has been brought to bear on State legis- lation, and State soldiers, and orphans’ homes, and ldws for temporary relief of indigent soldiers and their families have been passea. For this ‘work more than any other has the Grand Army of the Repubilc lived—this more than all else has en- nobled its life—for this purpose the Grand Army will in the future give its earnest endeavors, and by reason of its persistent endeavors it will be re- membered. The Grand Army, with the approval of the people iu general, hive enlisted in this cause, ‘Men of all shades of political belief have Deen foremost in these effort, and never until ‘this year Bas It entered the ‘Of any well-Ib- formed man to charge that this zeal in behalf of our needy comrades was of @ political character.

Reso. lutions and addresses have been adopted and pub- Ushed, Petitions and appeals have often been sent to Congress. ‘The efforts of the newspapers of the country have been enlisted, and, with a few exceptions, they have heretofore been in full accord with the order, ‘There has been no change of opinion or change of method in the ranks of the the Grand Army members. They have been of one mind in considering it but simple Justice that the United States should at least grant a pension of not less Than $12 per month to all persons who served three months or more in the military or naval set Vice of the United States during the war of the rebellion, and Who have been honorably discbarged therefrom, and who are nowor who may hereafter befrom mental or physical disabli- ity, not the result of their own vicious habits, ip- capacitated for the performance of manual labor. ‘This has been publicly advocated, and all men who cared to know have been fully’ aware of the action, and yet until recently there has been heard no ‘objection to such measures, Because others changed their ininds the Grand Army need not therefore change theirs, ‘The path in this di- rection has been straight, ‘The order has diverged neither to the right nor left. Because the com- rades need heip the Grand Army will be drawn closer and closer to them. ‘They shall not be the Inmates of the common pauper’s house, nor shall their widows or orphans, if the Grand ’ Army can prevent it. What is asked now In the way of gen- eral penstons has been asked for years. It is not demanding too much. Many amembers are of the honest opinion that It 1s not enough, favoring a. broader measure of relief which will émbrace all who served a certain length of time and can show an honorable discharge, commonly called the “service pension bill.” Gen, Fairchild said he was not here to argue against that asan ultimate measure, ‘He wished {0 do nothing to, postpone the coming of the long-coming day of rellef to the suffering. ‘THE FLAG INCIDENT. In conclusion, he sald: “In fraternity, charity, and loyalty we stand proud of the fact that there 45 not now, nor has there ever been, any bitter feeling of hate for those of our fellow-cluizens who, once in arms against us, but now being loyal, have long ago taken thelr old-time places in our hearts, never, we devoutly hope, to be removed therefrom, We have not now, nor have we at any tme since the war closed, had any disposition to open the bloody chasm which once, unbaplly, divided this people.
