After quoting from an interview with Dr. F. R. Lane, principal of the High School, printed in Tur an, the report goes on to show wherein Washington High School boys who went to Harvard were lacking-in their studies So far saencltty ts Gesecesl oi tea ade iar x quantity is dition of Tosach and a moderna expansion of the coursesalready in the curriculum, the Wash- ington High Scbool could readfly fit students for Harvard. The required would necessi- | tate courses of study covering four years; for | although the courses may be offered, three years of time is insufficient for suitable p Harvard tests are severe, and properly #0. If, however, the course of study should be. ex- | panded to meet Harvard requirements undoubt- edly the question of quality would be met; for then there could be no excuse for failure. ‘There remains the question suggested by Dr. Lane’s statement that the Washington High School has never aimed to become a fitting school for college. Should the District of Co- dumbia make its i school? A careful examination the juestion “must disclose the fact that ovcaly point ‘really involved te as to whether the echool have « standard or whether it shall have none; whether the ates shall beable to stand a real test of their knowledge er whether they shall leave school after having spent two or three years on studies that would have prepared them for college had the work been carried far enough. For as bas School course omits but one study named in any college requirements. If it does not aim to be a fitting school, then its courseof «tudy falls short, like the arrow aimed at the ground in front of the target. COLLEGES PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS, There are two reasons why the high schools of large cities should fit their pupils for col- lege. The first reason is that in the present condition of secondary education in this coun- try the public schools must be @epended upon largely to prepare the children of persons in moderate circumstances for entrance to col- lege. in reality the colleges are scarcely less public institutions than are the public schools. Many colleges are maintained by the state as a part of the public instruction and are open to students not only from every state and territory, but also from every nation. Even in the so-called endowed colleges the tuition bears a compara- tively small proportion to the cost of the edu- ention provided, this cost being paid from the cndowments left by the generous few as legacies to the many. In one case the support comes from present taxation; in the other from trust funds set apart for public benefit. ‘Thus when the high school of a city does not prepare students for college the youth of that City are almost precluded from enjoying the advantages of a higher education which have been provided either at public expense, as at Michigan and other state universities, or by the endowments of generous men and women, as in the case of Harvard, Yale, Princeton and other colleges of that c Sometimes, in order to make e trif_ing saving, and in other cases for want of well-directed instruction, the youth of a city often lose opportunities of education that would be of the highest service both to them- selves and to the commanities in which they ive. The idea that the colleges are in any true sense private and not public institutions is as erroneous as it is widespread. Of the €1,026,738.20 income of Harvard Uni- versity last "year but $397,735.54 was received from the students for tuition; and this letter the students in the form of endowed scholar- ships, beneficiary and loan funds, so that for every dollar a student pays the University he receives more than $3 worth of instruction. The total amount of invested funds which have been given to the public to be used for the edu- cation of youth at Harvard is 9¥,299,848.10. The lands, buildings, collections, libraries and There are sixteen printed pages of report | If, ‘The quality of the work is another matter. The | 1™ already been shown the Washington High | sum is to be reduced by about 385,000, given to | dents of the affair was the needs of everyday life. This objection, Committee is convinced, has its basis and its strengt an ignorance of present college re- quirements and ‘an over-estimate of the practi- cal advantages to be derived from the study in = schools of the aso-calied Dusinow branches Vithin ten years the colleges have changed their attitude ‘toward the public, more. than the public has yet realized. for example, the Harvard requirements for admission. boy or girl who has mastered them has as sub- stantial and broad a foundation for a liberat education as four years of study can give. WHY HARVARD? After a discussion of the changes that havo been made respecting Harvard requirements as to Greek and Latin and modern languages the report goes on to say: ‘The committee disclaims any intention to discriminate among the various colleges of the | guantey. They have the relations ex- au they have decided to do since this investiga~ tion was begun, and if they shall amplify work 80-03 Zoslity, as well as in theory, to fit Doys to take the examinations which ard holds each year in Washington, then by 80 doing the, school will be brought up. toa standard of efficiency eesond to none in this country and the people of the capital city will have the knowledge, first, that they have, in thelr* schools, a well-matared coutse of in- struction, and seoondly, that even if for good and sufficient reasons ' thei ir children shall be Prevented from taking « college course, at least y will have acquired the broad and solid foundations for private stndy and for becoming igent and useful citizens. In this connection it may be unnecessary to t that even if the grade of the High School should be raised to the Harvard standard ail the pupils in any given class would not be fitted to enter that college, even should they so desire. A class differentiates: ftseif, and in any | school of high standard there will always be those in the graduating class who, although | they might hate worked faithfully,’ would not | be able to pass the examinations of the most | advanced colleges. It is the average scholar that should be provided for. RECOMMENDATIONS. The committee, had they not been forestalled by the school authorities, would have recom- mended that the course of study in the Wash- ington High School be lengthened to four years. They now recommend that the four years’ | course be maintained; that the courses of study be arranged so as to provide an adequate Preparation for the many, pupils who desire to enter colleges of the highest standard; that entrance from the grammar schools to the high school be guarded by suitable tests of fitness on the part of the pupils to pursue high school ‘ork, and, ina word, that the school be brought w ‘toa condition of thorough efficiency and toa place in the first rank of schools, ‘The committee desire to say that they have found no reason to criticise either the superin- tendent of schools or the = of the high school. The Washington High School is un- able to do the work which high schools in other cities equal in eize to. Weshington are doing, largely because of the theory which obtained some #ix years ago among those having charge of the financial interests of the District in Con- gress. The deterioration which was then worked has not yet been repaired, notwith- standing the urgent recommendations of Dr. Lane to be allowed to better the work, and notwithstanding very zealous efforts on his Part to make the very best of what he had to do wi ‘The committeo, as stated in Tue Star, rec- ommended a maintenance of the four years’ course already established in tho school, com- mended the management and suggested that in future no effort and no pains be spared to make the Washin, High School a credit to the capital of the nation, for this means the better- ment of the whole school system of the District of Columbia. In tables which accompany the report is shown the number of students from this city whore names are on the books of the various colleges of the country. In local colleges there are 125, in other colleges there are 140, in col- loges exclusively for women there are twenty- ve. Se Baum's Employes’ Excursion. The excursion of Mr. Chas.

Washington is y the scientific center of the country, is making good progress as an educational and literary center and must in time become anartcenter as well. How shortsighted, then, must be any policy which does not provide ample facilities to the coming citizens of Washington to enjoy and profit by the highest and best that their city afford. VIE PEOPLE ARE PROUD OF GOOD SCHOOLS. ‘The consideration of economy has no place in this discussion. The question in this city should be nothow much the schools cost, but whether the money appropriated is spent wisely end. jutieionely. With © rate of taxation of $1.50 per €100 on a valuation of two-thirds, or less, of the cash value of pi 5, the people of Washington are in no position to urge they cannot afford to support public schools ual to any in this country. it should be said that the committes, in the course of their investigations, have found many Reople of the District who are anxious to have the high school course extended and the in- struction made more thorough, and, on the other hand, they have found no opposition to such a move.” Moreover, both. the. superin. tendent of schools end the principal of the high school have expressed themselves as desirous of advancing the grade of stuty.

Nevins, who has spent several seasons in this city, died at the Murray Hill Hotel, New York city, on Saturday last, Mr. Nevins had arrapged to make his permanent home in this city and had begun the erection of a fine residence on Massachusetts avenue near 11th street, which is nearly completed. He had a trifling disorder of the liver last January, which unexpectedly developed into a case blood poisoning, but at no thne bad his illness been considered serious,and his death on Satur- day was sudden and unexpected.
