NOYES..... -Editor. poms THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulati iy double the combined circulation of the other ‘Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium ae has no com- petitor. 20 EE ©7lm order to avoid delays, on ac- gount of personal absence, letters to THE STAR shoul any individual connected with the fice, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Department, to tenor In the history of the world 1893 will be recorded as a dark year. No country has escaped entirely the ill effects of the finan- cial and industrial depression. Washington suffered im common with other cities, but when the lot of the people of this city is compared with that of others reason will be found for thankfulness. No serious bus- iness disasters have been recorded here. One feature of the year that might be put down as an offset to all the unpleasant things is the great progress made here in the fight against the common foe of man- kind—death. The health of the city was never better, and there was a saving, as compared with the preceding year, of 347 Precious lives. Some of this great improve- ment may be due to conditions with which man has nothing to do, but it !s a fair pre- sumption that the effective work of the health department, sustained by the inter- est in sanitary matters inspired among members of the community by the Sanitary League, did much toward accomplishing the ratifying reduction in mortality. The work done in 1893, it is hoped, will have a permanent effect. The year has not been eventful in other respects, so far as local matters are concerned. Congress has had Uttle time to do law making for the Dis- trict. The two most important measures that became laws were the act establishing the Court of Appeals for the District and the new liquor license Jaw. Many of the questions of interest to the people have re- cetved little or no attention from Congress, Washington con- tributed to the great calamities of the year the frightful disaster that eccurred at the old Ford’s Theater June 9. Aside from this there was no unusual number of fatal hap- penings to put into the year’s account. Some changes were made in the offices of the District government, the board of Com- missioners having been reorganized by the appointment of Mr. Myron M. Parker and Capt. C. F. Powell in the places respective- ly of Commissioner Douglass and Engineer Commissioner, Rossell. The “revised” as- sessment was completed in the fall, but the work is regarded as unsatisfactory, and Congress will be urged to authorize a new assessment. Gratifying progress is reported im all the lines of work aiming to promote the moral and educational progress of the eity. The new liquor law has been enforced with care, and the results are regarded as beneficial. Several new churches have been added to the city, and the work of those bodies engaged in extending the influence of religion has generally been successful. ‘The several projects looking toward the es- tablishment here of universities, or great educational institutions, have made sub- stantial progress, and before long it is ex- pected that the city will boast of a great American university, under Methodist Epis- copal auspices, and a Protestant Episcopal cathedral foundation, with its associated educational institutions, as well as a great Catholic university. The year cannot be re- garded as an unprofitable one. Even the destitution reported among the poor and unemployed has brought with it lessons of charity, and has taught men again their duty to one another—the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man. oe The Commissioner of Education, W. T. Harris, gives it as his opinion that the re- port just published of the committee ap- pointed by the National Educational Asso- ciation to consider secondary school studies is the most important educational docu- ment produced in this country with refer- ence to the work of pupils. President Eliot of Harvard was at the head of the com- mittee, and in the report he has enforced his often-quoted view that the time given for preparatory studies should be shortened so boys can get out of college and into their life work earlier. It is recomm2nded that the study of Latin and Greek be introduced in lower grades than at present. Another important recommendation is that an clec- tive course in German and French be pro- vided for children at about ten years of age. One thing the committee favors, and which will probably be generally approved, ts to connect the study of English with most every other branch of knowledge m which instruction is given. A funda- mental idea of the report is that the study of every subject should contribute to the pupil's training in English and that the pupil's capacity to write English should be made available and be developed in every other department. As to the other sugges- tons made, many of them are due to the fact probably that the committee was com- posed mainly of college presidents and loox- ed upon the so-called secondary schools— which include the grammar and high schools of our cities—only as nurseries or training schools to supply the colleges with students. This view makes their opini ns as to courses of study to be followed and the time to be given to each branch differ from those of men and women who have children to educate and who expect them to get their whole schooliag in the grammar and high schools. For pupils of this class, who form the great majority, it seems to be sensible to provide a course which will give them <he largest amount of useful knowledge and the best grip on their men- tal faculties when they leave the granvnar or high school to go into business or to the professional schools. Studies which are intended only as a preparation for the high- er work of the college shouid be made elec- tive and not form so important a part of the school curriculum as to deprive youths who are not destine for college of the op- portunity for the practical training that will be immediate!y useful to them when tuey leave scacol. THE EVENING STAR, MONDAY, JANUARY 1, 1894-TWELVE PAGES. esting reading. During the year it has been permanently enlarged from the eight page to the twelve page form, and its Saturday issues have grown to twenty pages as a rule; more pages being added when there is occasion. With the increase of size changes have been made in the make-up of the pa- Per, advantageous to the reader, and its typographical appearance has been much improved. Coincident with these improve- ments, has been a radical change in the mechanical department, type-setting ma- chines being now used almost exclusively in the work of composition, a change that has increased the mechanical resources of the paper. With all its progress as a newspa- per, The Star has never lost sight of the fact of its responsibility to the community as the representative journal of Washing- ton and Washington interests, and it stands at the close of the year as it stood through the year and through many preceding years as the recognized champion of everything beneficial to the District, and the foe of men or measures that threatened harm. What The Star's record for 1894 will be re- Mains to be seen, but it can be promised that there will be no halting or interrup- tion in its progress. It will be a greater newspaper at the close of the coming year than it is today. The Star in wishing all its readers a Happy New Year, and express- ing the hope that the coming year will be for each of them a period of prosperity, de- sires to acknowledge its gratitude to them for their continued support and confidence. ——_+ + —___- Among the pleasant items of New Year day news are reports of the resumption of work in many mills that have been closed down during the prevalence of hard times.

Saag mei” exclaimed the High School irl. “What's the matter?” asked her mother. “I'm writing an essay on ‘old-fashioned weather prophets’ and I don’t know whether the plurai of ‘goose bone’ 1s ‘goose bones’ or “geese bones.’ ”* A Sermon Spoiled. . “I'm afraid,” said Mr. Muggles to his nephew, “that you are giving altogether too much attention to the doings of prize fighters.” “Well,” admitted the young man, “1 do enjoy reading about them.” “I am sorry to see it. Prize fighting ts brutish and degrading. In an age like this, when there are so many enormous problems of science and civilization to solve, it is wrong for any man to give his mental en- ergies to the consideration of things like this, which are not only low in themselves, but demoralizing in their influences.” The old gentleman took a long breath, and glared. “Stull, one can’t help being interested.” “You ought to help it. it’s your business to help it.” “But I've had it forced on my attention,” was the apologetic reply. “The bookkeeper at our store wants to bet that Mitchell will whip Corbett.” “Wants to bet that Mitchell will—Great Scott! you took him up, didn’t you? Why, look at Corbett’s reach. He can pull the hairs out of Mitchell's eyebrows without getting touched. And if Mitchell tries to turn the fight into a sprinting match, Cor- bett "ll be right with him, and chase him tap for lap till he runs him down same as a dog would a rabbit. And that man wants to bet om Mitchell! How much dia you take of it?” “Why, I haven't bet anything as yet.” “Haven't bet! Here, get your hat and coat and hunt him up. Bet him all you've got, and then if he’s still game, take fifty dollars worth for me. Don’t lose a minute, because he might change his mind.” After the Holidays.

Thank you; the same to yout May all the germs that gally skip ‘The year that has just closed has been of much interest in the political and general Ristory of the country. A part of the record has been sad, but still many good deeds have been done, and many advances made which go to offset the unpleasant events. The Star, which celebrated its forty-first birthday last month, gratefully records the fact that its own history for the year has been one of steady progress. The growth ef the paper, in ail that constitutes good journalism, has been uninterrupted. At the close of 1892, in fact, long before that The Star had reached a point where it could truthfully claim to meet all the require- ments of a modern newspaper, published in an intelligent community, dwelling at the seat of government and center of political thought and action, as well as of scientific and literary activity, of what Americans are pleased to call the greatest nation on earth. As a matter of fact, these requirements in- ¢rease with the development of the city, and xhe Star is proud of the fact that it has constantly kept pace with them, and in many cases anticipated them. The Star's growth in journalistic strength forms a re- markably even parallel with the constant and rapid development of the city. The Star today is more fully equipped than ever before, unsurpassed by any other evening paper in the world in its facilities for cover- | ing every field of news, as well as for pro~/ viding its readers with all that the times de- mand, in the way of instructive and inter- And fret us more and more, Be somehow made to loose their grip In 1894, May trolley cars which madly range ‘The frightened cities o'er, Be made their murderous ways to change In 1894, May Congress cease to shout and shirk As it hag done of yore, And settle down to real work In 1804, May many reformations come; wut wherefore tell them o'er?
