A TALK WITH COL. LUDLOW ON THR NEEDS OP THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS, THE PAY OF TRACKERS, RTO. ‘The District Commissioners have nearly com- pleted the work of preparing their estimates for the next fiscal year. Nearly all of yesterday was Spent in discussing the school estimates with Superintendents Powell und Cook, Col. Ludlow Stated to a Sra reporter to-day in this connection, that the Commissioners will prepare a schedule of the salaries to be paid the school teschera, exactly as they arrange the schedule of stréeta to be im- Proved. The teachers will be classified as hereto- fore, and each class will recetve a certain salary. He added that the Commissioners will ask for MORE MONEY FOR THE SCHOOLS ‘Unis year than they did last year. A supple- mentary proposition will also be submitted to Congress for money to erect six new school bulld- ings. Col. Ludiow said that twelve new buildi wilt bs ‘meeded to get Hid of those that are noe Unit tor use, and also to allow the adoption of the full-day system. ‘The Commissioners do not think {t ‘absolutely necessary to abolish the half-day plan this year, and therefore they will only, ask lor six schools, which will satisfy the immediate necessity for enlarged accommodations, and also allow sufficient room for the increased humber of Pupils to be expected next year and the year aiter. In preparing their estimates the Commls- Stoners, he said, took the average number of Pupils ‘enrolled and added one thousand to that humber, which would be about the natural in- grease each year, ‘They expect to secure the pas: Sage of the billat this session of Congress, but It will be a year and more before the bufidings Will be In shape to accommodate and properly house all the pupils, REFERRING TO THE HIGH SCEOOL, Col, Ludlow said that it has @ capacity of 750 pu- Pils, but there are now 974 actually enrolled, with great demand for entry by others, The Commis- stoners, he remarked, are very anxtous to rem¢ this condition of affairs. and have a proposition under consideration to unite the Hign School with the Henry school. The lots owned by the District on 7.h street are now very valuable and worth fully $100,000. ‘They are not needed by the Dis- trict and might as Well be sold and $25,000 of the money appropriated tor building a wing to con- nect the High School and Henry school. ‘The bal- ‘ance Of $75,000 could be used to purchase a lot and bulld a schvol-house vo replace the Henry bulld- ‘THIRTY-TWO THOUSAND PUPILS ENROLLED. Returning to the question of the present accom- modationsin the schools, Col. Ludlow sald that the average enrollment for the first five months of the current fiscal year was, in round number 29,000, and the total enrollment was 32-000. Th maxing their estimate for 1888 the Commisstoners took that sum and added to it 1,000, which 1s the estimated increase. Allowing for every contin- ency the Commissioner calculated that there will 27,400 puplls to provide with school rooms. ‘There are at present 460 school rooms in good con- dition, but the Commissioners estimate that 605 Will be n to meet the demand next year. But by putting in good order the rooms that are now out of repair, the number of new schools whlch st will be necessary to build 1s reduced to six. ‘The «mount esifmated for the schools for the next Year Will be about $50,000 greater than for the present fiscal yepr. ‘TEACHERS’ SALARIES. Speaking of the number of teachers required, Col. Ludlow stated that an increased number of 693 is desired. He has directed the superintend- ents to prepare schedules dividing that number into classes and to aMix a salary to each class. Heretofore there has been considerable friction in the arrangement of the salaries, and they do not seem to have been arranged on an equitabie basis, ‘The teachers got the idea into their he.. ts that every year they remained in the service their sal- artes would be increased by $100 |The present ar- Tangement will do away with the old, and the teachers will be ¢ PAID ACCORDING 70 THEIE WORTH as teachers, and not on the basis of long service. This arrangement Will not affect the average salary of $870 per annum paid a teacher, al- though, of course, particular cases will be either losers or gainers to a certain extent. If a man 1s Rot competent Lo earn $900 the fact. of nis long service should not entitle him to reveive that amount at the expense of some one more desery- ing than he. Col. Ludlow said that he fully recog- anizes the fact, and also the hardships attendant thereupon, that while Washington has one of the best educational systems in the country the pub- Me school teachers receive smaller salaries than are paid in the North, and tere 13, therefore, a considerable draught ‘upon the material here to Supply tue demand in the North, Washington, hie, 1s about HALF-WAY BETWEEN THE NORTH AND SOUTH on this question. In the former instance the sala~ ries are greater, and in the latter smaller. Col. Ludlow was asked how the compatative merits of the teachers would be determined, He replied that that Is a matter for the superintend- ents to settle. POLICE AND FIRE DEPARMENTS. In reference to the police department Col. Lud- low stated that the Commissioners will ask for sixty additional policemen, An appropriation for 8 new fire engine house for East Wasiilnyton is also included among the esti- mates for the fire department, THE TOTAL. ‘When asked If he could give the reporter a defl- nite idea of the total amount the Commissioners ‘Will ask for the support of the District govern- ment the colonel replied that the asy-ssor has es- {mated the income for 1888-'89 at $2,363,271.
