Interesting Exercises at the National Thea- ter Last Night. The commencement exercises of the Washing- ton High School are always interesting. The exercises held last night at the National Theater in connection with the graduation of the class of 1892 will go down among the most notable events in the history of the school. The thea- ter, it is almost needless to say, was crowded. On the stage were seated Secretary Noble, Commissioners Ross and Douglass, Rev. Dr. Elliot, Superintendent Powell, Principal Paul and Trustee John T. Mitchell. An effective background was formed of six tiers of young lady graduates, all dressed in white, relieved at the top by a fringe of two rows of young men dressed in black. Over the stage and hanging from the proscenium arch was a large floral scroll, bearing upon it in white roses the in- scription “W. H.S.,°92." The Marine Band opened the exercises with several choice selec- tions. Kev. Dr. Shippen asked divine blessing and Commissioner Douglas, the presiding officer of the evening, introduced Commissioner Ross, who.on account of his long connection with the | public schools of Washington,had been selected to deliver the introductory address. Commis- sioner Koss was greeted with storms of applause as he advanced to the center of the stage. COMMISSIONER ROSS’ ADDRESS. Commissioner Ross said: “There is probably no public event which in- terests more homes in the District of Columbia than the annual graduating exercises of the Washington High School. ‘fo the graduates it isan event of the highest dignity and import- ance. To many of them it is the end of scho- lastic training. They go from this step to en- ter upon the active duties of life, and they may rest assured that they will carry’ with them best wishes of all who are in any way connected with the public schools of the District.

They are the fragrant flowers of work years of public school cultivation, and when they become men and women and take the place of those who are now upon the stage of action we trust them to stand by and defend that public school system. This is also an occasion of great interest to the ac- complished principal and to his able assistanta. To them it is the beginning of a well-earned vacation. With the finished Capitol Hill High School building the new school year will oj with better High School accommodations the District ever had before. That they and all of the faithful officers and teachers of the pubtic schools may return to their duties refreshed and invigorated for the next year's Inborious duties is our earnest wish. ‘The year now closing has been the most_sue- cessful in the history of the schools. This is due to various causes, To the liberality of Congress in giving us new school houses and needed appropriations for teachers. To an intelligent and able school board, which, without salary or emolument of any kind, has carefully guarded the interests of the schools. To the superintendent, supervising principal and principals, the efficient officers who have guided the little army of teachers into the highest degrees of the art of teaching. porly paid teachers. As # ‘hool teachers of the District of Columbia are intellectual and cultured and capable of fulfilling the duties of any rank or station in life. Allof them have worked to- gether harmoniously and the result has been success ‘The new features of instruction, for which the trustees and superintendent have worked so diligently, have been especially successful. By the manual training system the boys are taught the use of tools with wood and iron. The girls are taught to cook and to sew. These features of school life a1 ble to the pupils themselves, furnishing relaxation from severer school tasks, and it is believed that the instruetion given will be of great prac- tical benefit in many ways. This year witnessed the first class of gradu- ates from the business school. This is some- thing almost peculiar to thi+ District. Besides an excellerit English course of study the pupils are tanght and become proficient in bookkeeping, telegraphy, typewriting and ste- nography. In other words, the graduates of this school are ready to go forth and earna livelihood. Citizens of Washington, we invoke your in- terest. in sch We beg you to visit them and to inspect their workings. It isnot claimed that they are perfect; few human institutions are perfect. We invite criticism intended for the benefit of the schools. We deprecate criticism based on actual hostility and intended to cripple and destroy the schools, for next to the church ttself the public school is the greatest agency for good. Our form of government presupposes intelligence as its basis. It is cheaper to build schools and school houses than to build reformatories, and prisons So I close with the request, stand by the pub- lic school, Mr. Herbert G.

He was followed by Secretary Noble, who, after complimenting the Commissioners, teach- ers and pupils, referred to the beautiful sight before him as an evidence of the greatness of the system of public education which places 80 many blessings before all. Thirteen million children in the United States, he said, were being benefited by public education, and’ in re- turn the country received its share of the benefit, for the very foundation of good go ernment was education.

Does any one imagine that without en- Fightenment among the people, "rendering these instruments for the transmission and dif- fasion of knowledge immediately available, such help would be sufficient? And most of ali it cannot be doubted that the bond of acommon language, a common education and a home life with intelligent and intellectual parents binds the far distant portions of our Union with stronger, though invisible bonds,than the wires that split the air or the iron way on which our commerce flies. The education that we have is manifold. It does, indeed, secure reasonably well the full and harmonious development of all our faculties. In the language of another ‘it is the preparation of the individual for re- ciprocal, union with soclety—the | prepars- tion of the individual so that he can help his fellow men and in return receive and appropri- ate their help.” But it should have another re- sult, the most desirable for an American citi- n”-character and independence of character; an appreciation of the ol ns of cit 3 SiC CO Se tituted authority, but a sacred re- gard for the hts of each one's self. the American youth should be taught and be expected to practice, as a habit of life, the freest judgment on all affairs private and pub- lic affecting his own welfare and its expression by voice and vote. “It is a happy result we behold these days that before the increasing education of the masses and their judgment for the Fight arbitrary power and the bossism of politics are losing their power and the demands of an intelligent constituency are gaining control.

From the beginning that school has beena success ‘This result was to be expected, for never was any sucht institution the subject of more active en- deavor on the part of its officers. Aside from the many labors of President Falls and his asso- cintes a large quantity of telling work has been done by Col. and Mrs. Shallenberger and their assistants. More could be done if the necessary means were provided. President Falls has re- cently been directing his attention to the cost of reformatories in the United States and from the material gathered has compiled a comparn- tive statement of considerable value. he has submitted to the board of trustees, with the following letter: “I have the honor to submit herewith a com- pears statement of forty-seven reformatory institutions in the United States, the number of inmates, number of officers, salaries of same, cost of food, clothing, fuel and lights and other items of maintenance. Also the pro rata cost of each inmate per annum. “From this statement it appears that there are 17,427.51 inmates of aid institutions; @924,272.60 was paid for salaries, $396,345.28 for food, groceries, é&c., $252,135.92 for cloth- ing, $243,940.71 for fuel and lights, 905,832.17 for other items of maintenance, €2,423,171.49 for total maintenance and $3,352,980.53 total expenditures. The ayerage pro rata for each inmate per annum is $193.17 and 23-100. The o rata expense of our school is $204.90 and 100; but allowing us credit for the amount paid into the treasury of the United States pur- suant to law our pro rata is reduced to $191.13 and 88-100, which is less by $1.98 and 34-100 than the general average. out this credit there are sixteen institutions whose pro rata is higher than ours; with the credit there are twenty higher than ours. “The annual salaries pea by our school amount to 12,771.67. The cost of f in- cluding groceries, is $10,006.75. This item also includes everything purchaseable at grocery store, such as brooms, brushes, soap, oils and many other miscellaneous items. The cost of clothing was $645.24; the cost of fuel and lights, 3,193.24; the cost of other items .of maintenance, 813,925.15; the gross expendi- tures for the year, $40,572.95; the total number of inmates, 198; total employes, 37. “It will be seen from an examination of the table that these figures compare most favor- ly with those of other institutions. Some institutions are under the control of Catholic Brothers and Sisters of Charity, who receive no salaries. Other institutions are for girls only, where fewer employes are required and salaziee are not oo high. “There was paid by our schoob, as stated in the table, the sum of $10,006.75 for food, &c., thus costing the government for provisions about 4.61 cents per meal for each inmate, out of which the officers arealso provided. Countit the officers who are thus provided .ue cost woul be but 3.83 cents per meal. It is true that the actual cost is more, but these figures show the actual sum paid by the government. The farm is now producing largely, and from the sup- plies derived therefrom we are enabled to keep the actual cost at these figures, “It is well known that the greater the num- Propriations are based upon a population of 150 inmates, and although we have now nearly 200, we have not asked Congress for one cent additional for maintenance, and not one dollar additional has been given us for salaries, _ “Should Congress be liberal enough to pro- vide fora building for another family, to ac- commodate fifty more boys, they could be main- tained without calling upon Congress for fur- ther appropriations for .maintenance; all that wéuld be necessary would be additional teach-| ers and other officers at a cost not to exceed $2,500. Therefore fifty more boys could be maintained in our school with this small in- crease of expenditure, or at a cost of $50 for each additional inmate per annum, thus mate- rinlly decreasing our pro rata. “It is earnestly hoped that Congress will, at its next session, make appropriation for another family building. We are now crowded beyond our capacity, and I'am calied upon almost daily as president of the board by the courts and by ent it is impossible to do, and boys of a tender age are now filling the jail and work house for want of proper accommodations at our school. earnestly ask that m our estimates to be submitted to Congress at its next session an ap- propriation for a new family building be asked for, and a sufficient sum for the necessary teach- ers and other officers. I have spent much time, care and thought in the prej this statement, having correspon with every institutions of the kind throughout the country the name and location of which I could obtain. Thad to rely entirely upon the officers of such institution for my information, some of which is not as full and perfect as I could wish. But Thave done the best in my power with the ma- terial at hand. With one or two exceptions the figures are complete. “Our school has been managed with great care and economy, and I don’t see where any material reduction can be made. We have a plant fora much larger institution, and with More accommodations the population could be increased very materially with il increased expenditure by the governmen “I know of no institution thro. United States which does not have shout the ie benefit of the labor of its inmates with the exception of our own school, and if we could prevail ugpn Congress to permit us to make use of our earnings for the payment of additional salaries = improvement of the farm, the enlargement n houses and minor outbuildings, we ld accommodate at least fifty more inmates without any additional cost to the government except the erection of another family building. “T respectfully suggest that in the next an- nual report of the board of trustees to the Attorney General and the Commissioners of the District of Columbia this be urged. The amount covered into the treasury is very small and would not be missed from the great reve- nues of the government, but would be of incal- culable benefit to our school. “In closing permit me to say that I have vis- ited a number of reformatories, and in none of themare the boys as well fed, clothed and treated as in our school.” — ration of During the storm afternoon the of the harbor police was invaded by lightning and Officer Frank Hughes treated to a sensationally close call. The current struck the heavy tire of the hose carriage about six inches from that part of the reel on which Hughes was resting his right arm. He fell stunned by the shock and: had his clothing scorched. Officer Silas Lewis and a Star re- were in the office adjoining the carriage house when the fish and crash came. The flame was blinding, the report like that of a heavy rifle and the of brimstone pro- nounced. Lewis exclaimed: “My God!
