ee THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. MONDAY November 26, 1894. regular and permanent circulation much more combined circulation of other Washington dailics. As a News and Advertising Medium tt has no competitor. Im order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed to any individual connected with the of- fice, but » y to THE STAR, ot to the Editorial or Business Departments, according to tenor or purpose. More than any other city in the country —more perhaps than all the other cities combined—Washington has suffered from Congressional parsimony, and of the many things in Washington that have been un- fairly treated because of the extreme va- riety of penny-wise, pound-foolish economy none has been treated with less-excusable niggardliness than our public-school sys- tem. This was demonstrated in Saturday's Star. In 182 the District Commissioners asked for $286,000 and received $220,000; in 1893 the estimate was $149,500, the appro- priation umounted to $40,300; in 1894 the sum imperatively needed was $108,350, while the amount appropriated was $69,- 800; for the current fiscal year $243,000 were asked but the total received was only $68,- 000. The differences between the estimates and the appropriations cannot easily be counted for in a rational way; the extent of the injustice done the schools is practi- cally immeasurable, for the estimates quoted are those of the District Commts- sioners and are considerably less than those of the school trustees. Washington's population is growing rapidly but the school accommodations are practically no better than they were three or four years ago. The increasing needs of the public schools this year impelled the trustees to the conclusion that an appropriation of $627,000 would be absolutely necessary for the fiscal year which begins July 1, 1895. ‘This amount the District Commissioners bave reduced to $100,000; what Congress will do nobody knows. ‘There snould be a determined effort made by the many who are deeply interested in the welfare of the young to have, the District committees respect the already-reduced estimate. Some- time ago half-day scbccls were complete- Jy done away with, but Congressional stinginess has compelled the reappearance of the fifty per cent arrangement in the third and fourth grades. Then there are Schools, needed in the suburbs and a con- siderable sum is demanded to put in good repair many of the more important build- ings. In all, the District has about two millions of dollars invested in school prop- erty, yet, because of insufficient appropria- tions for repairs, there is a great deal of unnecessary deterioration going on; the private owner of property knows how dangerous and how costly a thing it is to Jet his houses run down. Stress may prop- erly be laid upon the yrgent needs of the Business High School. This school does most valuable work; it fits hundreds of young people for real life and deserves very much mcre of attention than has been given it even by those who are its enthu- siastic friends. At present there are 500. Pupils crowded into an inconveniently-lo- cated building which has been declared un- fit and incapable of comfortably accom- modating 350 scholars. Two clasSes are row being taught simultaneously in one room, and, because of the overcrowded condition complained of, many deserving young men and women have been neces- sarily refused admission. The condition daily becomes worse, and until provision has been made for properly sheltering all who make application for the practical in- struction which is dispensed it will be necessary—in this city and nation of free Schools—to deny to many that which is their right. ———_-0.__ The esteemed Starpaper has called a few More newspapers to ity relief, but as yet it bas utterly failed wo produce us cham- ber of commerce resolution.—The Wash- ington Post. he esteemed Post throws up the sponge. It can't come to time in its losing fight against honest municipal government for Washington. One can always tell when the Post has had a knock-out blow in a bout with the Baltimere Sun against honest pohtics in Maryland. It straightway styles that journal “the Sunpaper.”” So now our pros- trate neighbor is just able to gasp out,— “Starpaper.” Well the Star doesn’t ob- ject. It is proud of tie title. “The Star- paper’ is a name that means a good deal. It is a term of endearment, of confidence. It means that the Star is the great popu- lar paper of the city. It means a paper that everybody reads and believes in. It means that it is the best of newspapers and especially a good local paper. It means that it is a good, clean, honest paper. It means that it is not a lobby paper nor a spoils paper. It means that the only thing for sale in its columns is its advertising 5 At is a name of misic to the two or three hundred thousand readers of The Star when the advent of their favorite and in- dispensable paper is shouted by all th newsboys of the city—“The Starpape And when any important news is looked for how eagerly the public listen*for th cry—"The Starpaper!’ “The Starpape: “The Starpaper!’ It is a capital name every way—“The Starpaper.” Won't the esteemed Post please keep right on calling this “The Starpaper?” ——- +42 —__ ‘There were thirty-nine men employed upon the city post office building today. If The Star’s original calculation was ac- curate—which, because of overliberality to the architect and the contractors, it was not—then thirty-nine men of the right sort might possibly complete the structure by September 30, 1899. Computation of more recent date than that upon which those figures are based would indicate Au- gust 17, 1406, as the more probable day of completion. Figu of interest in connec- tion with the situation are given in one of the news column: ——_ ree — Very possibly it is just as well that Thanksgiving day is not recognized in China. - +ee Considerable prominence is given by the York Sun to the observations of a ut or reporter, who says: “I doi ee how we would be any better off than China is in case some well-equip- t-class power should start in to us. size of the country does not count for anything in the matter, one way or the other. Japan is a fly speck compared ina, but she has a modern army, and commanders of the he were to turn her atten- e direction of America there is hy she could not make her way through this big country just as easily as she has through China. This is simple nonsense, for the reason that there is no similarity in the case of China as compared with this country in regard to capacity for resisting foreign invasion. *China is without railways or or- inary and furthermore has no horses or wagons for the transportation of military supplies, if she had the latter. She has neither a quartermaster nor a commissary department. She is without military discipline, as that term is under- stood in modern warfare, and, except on her naval vessels, she is without modern arms, while her so-called army is without knowledge as to how to use them if they were provided to her soldiers. This country, on the other hand, is pretty New roads, im five or six days, at the outside, and be- tween the great centers of popuiation in as many hours. It is true that, in point of numbers, we have no such standing army as European countries think they must nave, but we have an excellent organiza- tion of that kind for its size, well equipped in every department, that would serve as @ nucleus about which the National Guard of the different states would quickly rally and form at once as efficient a force for defence as any of the standing armies of the old world. Our several state organiza- tions are well drilled, possess improved arms of every kind, and, moreover, know how to use them. In short, if any other power thinks she can serve this country as Japan has been able to serve China, let her try it if she wants to be wakened out of her dream. j Z It is surprising that so level-headed a paper as the Sun should give place to such nonsense. ———_+ + >| ____. Assuming that the trustees of the Cor- coran Gallery of Art would cheerfully give it a good position on tts walls, it is mani- fest that thewery best thing the President can do with Mr. Watt's much talked of painting entitled “Love and Life” is to send it to that institution for safe keep- ing and exhibition. While such action might not wholly conform to the exact letter of the distinguished artist’s request as to the disposition to be made of his gift, it would in every way comply with its spirit, and fully carry out its intent and purpose. It is true that the Corcoran Gal- lery is not a “national gallery,” in the sense that it is owned or controlled by the government, but it is that in design and effect. It was established and is main- tained solely for the benefit of the public; the public has constant access to it, and for more than half of the time without the payment of an admission fee, er with- out cost of any kind. Furthermore, the public, to the number of many thousands, visits it every year. It maintains, also, a school of art, where instruction in drawing and painting is given free of any tuition fee or other expense, to the full extent of its accommodations, and to which a work of art like this would be not only a source of pleasure, but a means of instruc- tion. In the Corcoran Gailery the paint- ing in question, therefore, would be seen and enjoyed by the people of the United States generally to a greater extent than in any other place to which it can be sent, and there it would serve the end the artist had in view in presenting it to the Ameri- cam people better and more fully than in any other place now in existence. The proposition to consign it to the solitudes of the Smithsonian Institution, though doubtless made with proper motive, would defeat rather than carry out the artist’s purpose. So far as suitably dis- playing it there or affording the public Proper opportunity to see it are concerned, it might about as well be deposited in the crypt of the Capitol or stored away in the catacombs of Rome. 2 ____.
