Hallam and Lcoker were appointed a committee to audit the same. They reported the ac- counts as correct and showing a prosperous state of finances. The report of the arch- deacon was clear and concise, showing that the duties of the office had been zealously performed. The report of the Washington convocation church building loan fund com- mittee was presented, and the importance of this branch was noted by resolution, stating “That the work of the church build- ing fund committee is earnestly commended | to the hearty support of the members of the convocation; that the secretary be instruct- ed to call the attention of each church and request contributions, and that each rector be requested to preach a sermon or deliv an address on the work of the committee.’ | In the report of this committee mention was also made of the decease of Mr. C. M. Mat- thews and Mr. Wm.W. Danevhower, for many years active members of the same.

The order of closing exercises of the v: rious High Schools was announced as fol- lows: Business High School, Monday, June 18, in Central High School Hall, at $ o'clock in the evening. Mr. Paul Bowen of the board of trustees will deliver the oration, while Commissioners Ross and Truesdell will be presen The Normal High School, first six divis- fons, will close on Tuesday, June 1%, at which the supervising principals, princtpal of the High School and the president of the board of trustees will make addresses. The exercises will begin at 10 o'clock in the morning. The High and Normal Schools, seventh and eighth divisions, will hold their closing exercises at the Academy of Music on Wednesday, June 20, at 8 o'clock p. m. All the graded schools will close on Wednesday, June 20. The High School, first six divisions, will conduct exercises at Convention Hall on Thursday evening, June 21, at 8 o'clock. Congressman William Springer will make the address of the evening. Commissioner Ross will preside and Commissioner*Trues- dell will award the diplomas. Against Fire Alarms. The committee on buildings, repairs and furniture made an adverse report on the proposition for the introduction in. the pub- le schools of a certain instantaneous fire alarm system. Several strong reasons were presented by the committee for its conclusions. first place, the committee says that danger from fire in school buildings is slight. If a fire occurred while the school was closed the alarm would be useless, and should a fire occur when the building is occupied would be promptly discovered. The com- mittee found that the chief danger is from panics, which cannot be helped by the alarm of fire, but must be guarded against by frequent fire or panic drills. Nearly all the city, especially the two-story ones, are amply provided with exits. Another thing which influenced the committee to make an adverse report was the fact that all the buildings are in- sured under a contract that has five years yet to run. The tnsurance company refus- ed to give any rebate on premiums if the alarms were placed in. The present low | rates of insurance by experts show that the risks from fire are next to nothing. The cost of putting the alarms in would make a great inroad into the contingent fund. For the first year it would take $2,000, and an- lly thereafter, $1,000. For Repairs. Mr. Bowen offered a resolution, which was adopted, requesting the District Com- In the | it) missioners to set apart from the appro- priation for repairs and improvements to school buildings and grounds the sum of $1,300 every year for the purpose of pro- curing tools and materials to enable the | janitors to make repairs promptly when | needed, as required by law. The superin- tendent of the first six divisions will have $1,000 set apart annually for their use, while the superintendent of the other two divi- sions will have $500. ———— Kindergarten Commencement. The post-graduate class of the Elizabeth Peabody Kindergarten Normal School for this year, under the direction of Mrs. Louisa Mann, held its commencement exer- cises at the Lincoln Memorial Church, 11th and R streets northwest, Tuesday evening. The opening invocation was pronounced by Rev. E. A. Johnson, pastor of the church. Miss Lucy Moten rerdered a very acceptable piano solo, after which essays were read by Miss Sarah E. Ratcliffe, on “The Kindergarten;’ Mrs. Anna E. Wil- ams, on “The Child,” and Mrs, Louise Early. Hawkins, on “Religious Nurture.” Miss Annie M. son read a story, enti- ued “Little Leland,” and Miss Emma V. Beckwith a sketch of a model kindergarten, called “Miss. Breman’s Kindergarten.” These exercises were interspersed with finger plays and movement songs by mem- bers of the class, a trio by Misses Gregory, Brandon and Alexander, another piano solo by Miss Moten, and a vocal solo by Miss livered by Rev. Dr. Alexander Crummell, and diplomas were then presented by Mr. B. Pickman Mann. The exercises closed with a benediction by Rev. D. E. Wiseman, pastor of the Church of the Redeemer. Over the platform was draped an im- niense flag, on which appeared in letters of gold the motto of the class, “To be a kin- dergartner Is the truest development of womanliness.” The church was very tastefully decorated by the ladies of the graduating class, and the seats were filled with an appreciative audience. Most of the ladies forming this class have been engaged for the last year or more in conducting kindergartens for children who could not afford to pay tuition. Although they have done this not entirely without pay, they have worked for such small sal- aries as to prove their self-sacrificing de- votion to the cause of education and char- | ity. The flowers and other gifts which were |showered upon the graduates by their friends testified to the loving appreciation which they had earned by their labors. ——— Umable to Agree.

A Very Low Percentage of Deaths Among the Whites—A Gratify- ing Showing This Year. A statement has recently been publishe® to the effect that the death rate from con- Sumption in this city was larger than that ot Ya other city in the country. Just how the statement originated it is dificult to imagine. Certain it is, however, that it is not sustained by the vital statistics of this and of the other large cities of the country. Indeed, such statistics show that Washington has no unusual death fate from consumption and in some cities the death rate from consumption is greater than here. For instance, in San Francisco, New York and Boston the consumption death rate, according to the latest reports, is 3.3, 3.2 and 3.0, respecitvely. Here the Geath rate last year was 2.7. These figures are obtained by dividing the number of deaths during a year from consumption by the total population of the respective cities. It is a well known fact that the negro ts far more susceptible to consumption than the white man, and that the death rate from consumption among the negroes is more than double that among the whites. In San Francisco, New York and Boston negro population is but a small fraction of the total ulation, while here the negro forms one-third of the total population. Last year the death rate from consumption here among the whites was but 1.9, while among the colored peo- ple it was 43. These figures sre based upon a population in the District of 285,000, although by many the population is Bow believed to be net less than 300,000. From these figures it will be seen that although this city’s death rate from con- sumption is greatly increased by the un- fortunate and lamentable mortality among its colored population, yet it is really small- er than that in some cities, too, where no great negro population is found. Cincin- hati shows a death rate from consumption of 24: Brooklyn, 23; Buffalo, 21—figures but slightly lower then those here In Baltimore and Richmond, Va., and other southern cities where there are a large negro population the death rate from con- sumption is about the same as in this city, Then, again, there is another state of af- fairs which it is claimed slightly increases the death rate from consumption here, an@ that is the number of people who die in this city while passing through here on their way to or from those health resorts devoted to patients suffering from tuber- culosis. Many there are, too, who come to this city suffering from the be- cause they believe they will be benefited by the climate here. Many of these delay their coming until the disease is far ad- vanced and their deaths here go to swell the death rate of the High as the mortal of the negro from consumption here is, the statistics of the District health office show this very grati- fying fact that it has decreased from 631 in 1883 to 4.62 in ISM, a decrease of nearly 3B per cent, It is stated at the health office that the number of deaths from all causes during the y ing June 30, 1804, will cas at least & those occurring during the preceding year. Hence, it may be reasonably expected that the death rate from consumption, both among the negroes and whites, for the year ending the 30th instant, will be lower than ever before. Some Significant Tables. By an examination of the following tables, prepared at the District health office, it will be seen that among those (white and color- ed) between the age of twenty and thirty the mortality here from consumption is the greatest. Another fact to be observed is that while during the thirteen years ending June 30, 1892, 122 white children under five years of age died from consumption, no less than 643 negro children under that age succumbed to the disease. Still another fact to be observed from the same table is that while the mortality from consumption is about the same among the white males and females, about twenty per cent more negro females die of it than males of same race. | The table in Question is as follows: Deaths from consumption, by aves, during the thir teen years ended June 30, 1682. 60 to 70 yearn. 70 to BO years - $0 to WO earn. 90 to 100 years over. The second table is given below, and from | it will be ecen that the mortality from con- sumption, both among the whites and ne- groes of the city, has decreased Guring the ten years ending June 30, 1802.
