It was the first time that women have ever participated in the de- liberations of the body charged with the management and supervision of the af- fairs of the public schools. The occasion was marked by an unusually large attend- ance of members. Trustees Witmer and Bruce were the only absentees. The two new members of the board, Mrs. Louis R. Stowell and Mrs. Mary E. C. Terrell, were the earliest comers: The meeting was set for 4:30 o’clock, at the Franklin building, and at that hour the two ladies named were the only members in attendance. ‘They struck up an immediate acquaint- arce, and engaged in a pleasant conversa- Strauss’. “CRESCENT BICYCLES,” FREE From “all faults: Strong, durable, light | ticn pending the arrival of their colleagues. running and graceful.

He was introduced to the new members by Secretary Falk. Trustee Wilson came soon after, and he was fol- lowed in quick succession by Trustees Hazen, Shadd, Harries, Cornish and Dar- lirgton, each of whom was in turn pre- sented to the two new trustees. The board as now constituted consists of eleven members, seven white and four colored, including one white woman and ond colored woman. They are provided with desks ar- ranged in a semi-circle, facing the presi- dent. In the rearrangement of seats, ne- cessitated by the increased membership, Mrs. Stowell and Mrs. Terrell were given seats together at the head of the semi- circle, facing-the president, with the latter on the right and the former on the left. Unéer this arrangement, Mrs. Terrell's seat is next to that of Mr. Wilson, who sits at the extreme left of the white trus- tees, and Mrs. Stowell’s seat is next to that of Mr. Bruce, who occupies the extreme right of the colored trustees. Business Begun. The introduction of the ladies was en- tirely devoid of all formality beyond that vsual in the meeting of a lady and a gen- tleman, and the proceedings of the meeting were conducted in strict accordance with the usual formula. After Mr. Whelpley had called the meeting to order, the secretary read a communication from the Commis- sicners announcing the appointment of Mrs. Stowell and Mrs. Terrell as members of the board. The following changes in the seventh division were announced and approved: Seventh division—Accept resignation of C. §. Syphax, teacher, to take effect March 18. Promote A. E.

A communication was read from Health Officer Woodward to the District Commis- sicners, stating that his department is pre- pared to make analysis of the air in the various public schools in the District, with special reference to such as may be heated and ventilated by the Smead system. He suggests the advisability of the health offi- cer having some definite position with rela- tion to the management of the public schools. “‘There must be numerous in- stances,” he says, ‘in which the advice and opinion of a physician would be of consid- erable importance, as the admission of scholars in whose families there are minor contageous diseases, such as mumps, whooping cough, etc.; the admission of scholars, victims of epilepsy, or whose mental powers are possibly defective, and other cases of this kind. It occurs to me that if the health officer occupied a definite Position in the school system, such matters weuld be more frequently referred to him.” The communication was referred to the beard, with the request that it arrange an early conference with the health officer on the subject. Mr. Wheipley said that the matter had been brought to his attention and that he had taken the liberty of suggesting that there be no delay in the proposed investi- gation of the sanitarv condition of the schools. He assumed that steps had been already taken in that direction. On motion of Mr. Darlington, the com- mittee on schools was instructed to con- fer with the health officer with a view to having a thorough investigation of the san- itary condition of all the schools. In mak- ing his motion Mr. Darlington remarked that he saw no occasion for introducing the health officer into the school system in the manner suggested in his letter to the Commissioners. That question was, not passed on by the board. Military Training Report. Mr. Harries, as chairman of the commit- tee appointed to consider the proposition for the introduction of military training in the public schools, then submitted the fol- lowing report: After careful consideration of the propo- sition to provide military instruction for boys in the graded schools, your special committee, charged with the duty of in- vestigation, reports favorably on a qualified scheme, which should be sufficient to rea- sonably satisfy those who advocate mili- tary trainir.g for school boys. Favorably inclined toward the whole proposition as contained in the documents forwarded to the board by representatives of the Grand Army of the Republic, your committee has nevertheless concluded that sweeping adoption of the broad plan is at present impracticable, and to some extent locally unnecessary. Our High School Ca- det organizations already provide a con- siderable proportion of the older boys with soldierly instruction, so comprehensive that it includes regimental maneuvers and cere- monies, and in this Washington is con- siderably in advance of most cities. The local necessity therefore is at a mininum and our committee feels as though the de- mands would be met by arranging: 1. For the substitution, so far as pos- sible, of the setting-up exercises of the army, for the calisthenic movements now in use in our schools; kitchen utensils, &c., being the con- 2.

The annual spring opening is the attrac- tion that has drawn crowds of interested wemen to the Bon Marche, where they have delighted their eyes on the lavish dis- play ef articles suitable for the Easter sea- son. In all lines of dress goods, lingerie and fancy goods of every description the Bon Marche is an example of what may be accomplished by judicious expenditure and good taste in buying. In the millinery department a splendid showing is made, and ail that is latest and Frenchiest is dis- played in a way to catch the feminine eye and reach the pocketbook without going in too deeply. he interior of the big stcre has recently undergone a remodeling, and the improvements are just completed. A new passenger elevator has been put in, which gives ready access to the upper flocrs, and the broad stairway that leads from the main floor has been enlarged, so as to make a handsome and convenient ption balcony, where ladies may rest from shopping, and which also serves as an excellent meeting place. ——-> —_ Small's Easter Flowe: All the latest floral novelties in decora- tions and plants for Easter.

Mr, Harries made a brief statement of the effect of the committee’s recom- icendations, after which it was decided to refer the report to the District Commis- sicners, inasmuch as they had submitted fie Soa to the consideration of the rt Length of the High School Course. Mr. Darlington then brought up the ques- tion as to whether a pupil in the High School, who had finished a three years’ course, was eligible for graduation and con- sequent promotion to the Normal School. In the course of the debate that followed, it was developed that there was considerable diversity of opinion as to the action of the board on this point. It was clearly estab- Ushed as a fact, however, that the superin- tendent of the schools and, through him, the supervising principals and the teachers of the High Schools, had given the pupils to understand that the course in the High Schools was four years. Superintendent Powell informed the board that he had is- sued instructions to this effect on the pre- sumption that the board had so decided. Trustees Shadd and Cornish each said that they had no knowledge of such action on the part of the board. On the other hand, Mr. Whelpley said he was strongly of the irom that such action had been taken. Mr. Darlington said he knew of one case, and that there were possibly others, where a student had acted on the theory of a three years’ course, who would be naturally dis- appointed at having another year of study. Mrs. Terrell said that the general under- standing at the colored High School, where she had taught, was that the course was four years, and that the discovery that but three years’ study was necessary for gradu- ation and promotion would be a source of general disappointment to a great many more pupils than could be possibly bene- fited by a decision in favor of a three years’ course for the present class. After further discussion, the question was settled by the adoption of the following resolution, offered by Mr. Darlington: “Resolved, first, That it is the sense of the board that under the existing rule any of the third-year pupils in the High Schools who may desire to do so and are otherwise qualified are entitled to receive their diplomas at the close of the present school year and to be admitted in compe- tition for admission to the Normal School. “Second, That the board earnestly recom- mends to all third-year pupils and to their parents that said pupils do not graduate at this time, but remain in the school for the fourth-year course. “Third, That after June 30, 1895, no pu- pil shall be graduated from the High School who shall not have completed the full four years’ course at said school.” ‘The effect of this action is to permit all of the third-year pupils of the present class of the High School who are willing and competent to graduate and to enter the competition for admission to the Nor- mal School and to compel all High School pupils hereafter to serve a full four years’ course of study. Other Matters Acted On. On motion of Mr. Darlington, Mr. L. M. Prindle was appointed teacher of botany and geology in the Central High School, vice Mr. Burgess, resigned. The secretary, on behalf of Trustee Wil- mer, offered an amendment to the rules, making May 30, Memorial day, a holiday in the public schools. Under the rules this proposition was laid over for a month. On motion of Mr. Wilson, it was directed that the rules of the board regarding the supervision of the schools be amended so = to accord with the increased member- ship. On motion of Mr. Darlington, Mrs. Stowell was given charge of second divi- sion B, and Mrs. Terrell of eighth division B, with the proviso that Trustee Harries should continue to exercise supervision over the repairs to Twining building ir second division B, until their completion. There being no further business presented, the board adjourned. —_—._—_. Transfers of Real Estate. Deeds in fee have been filed as follows: Charles H. Cragin and Wm. McK. Osborn, trustees, to Wm. H.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: I would like to add something to the re- marks of “Sympathy,’’ on the subject of chickens in coops, in a recent issue of The Star. The cruelty to fowls is almost uni- versal, and the average buyer of them, in- tent only en a broil, bake or fricagsee, thinks no more of the sufferings of chick- ens than he does of the sensibilities of cab- bages. Yet he owes it to his own health, if not his humanity, to buy no fowls crowd- ed into coops, carried with their legs tied or heads down. They must suffer much and are bound to be diseased. I have known of chickens dying after being carried about for hours with their legs tied, and their legs are often broken in this way. The Humane Society is now distributing printed placards warning people against crowding chickens in coops, tying their legs or carrying them with their heads down. It is certainly the duty of every good citizen to abide by, and help enforce, the law pro- teeting animals, and if every good citizen did this, the Humane Society would not feel the need it now does of more agents. At present it being able to afford only three for this great city and the vast amount of work to be done, I would say to the buyer of live chickens: Do not leave them with your butcher or huckster to be trodden on and kicked about the floor of his stall for hours, and do not expect him to convert his- wagon into a hen coop for the safe and humane transportation of chick- ens, but go with a securely covered bas- ket that admits a free circulation of air, and in which they can be carried safely and humanely, without tying their legs.

Grand Opera House—Richard Mansfield presented that delicate satire, “‘Arms and the Man,” at the Grand Opera House: last night. In delineating types of humanity that have been cultivated to a high state of artificiality, both in manners and moral stendards, -Mr. Mansfield has no equal. His work is polished to a degree which would be possible perhaps with no other actor now on the American stage, and as a compensation for his remarkable gifts in this respect, the spontaneous ardor which is so important in the work of a great ac- tor is largely, if not wholly, absent. The highly intellectual nature is likely to lack in sympathy. Mr. Mansfield can counter- felt any phase of man’s nature, except gen- ume heartfelt emotion, and that cannot be imitated. His analysis of a character is a delight to the intelligent mind. He dissects and shows the workings of the superficial mental structure with the merciless, uner- ring touch of the vivisectionist; but the mysteries of heart and passion and tender- ness are not for him. He lacks the rugged intensity of force which makes a positive character either for good or bad. He is a skeptic in dramatic art, whose nature re- jects what his reason cannot grasp, but who reduces to absolute comprehension all that depends purely on the intellectual per- ception. His Beau Brummel, his Baron Chevrial, his Prince Karl, and his Capt. Bluntschli in “Arms and the Man” are ali characters which present man, not as the stfuggler with impulse, which he is when the emotional side of his nature is at all powerful, but as the‘cultured trifler with existence that he is likely to become when his mentality too far overshadows his en- thusiasms. Delightful as he is, Mr. Mans- field would be a sttil greater actor if he had that warm sympathy with the world which has made other men popular idols without one-half his refinement of taste or capacity as a student. It is needless to say that the performance last night was a highly artistic work; one that was greatly enjoyed by those who saw it. Tonight ae Parisian Romance” will bé the attrac- ion. Mme. Rejane.—Mme. Rejane, the distin- guished French actress, who appears at the Grand Opera House next week, with her company, from the Vaudeville Theater, Paris, said recently on the subject of ac! irg: “I believe thoroughly in the enviro: ment. Acting is only ‘making believe. Make believe to the exent of your dress and surroundings if you would be thor- oughly at home in the character. In a play like ‘Mme. Sans-Gene’ I like each minor ac- cessory to ke of the period named, and ap- propriate to the conditions of the person represented.” During the week Mme. Re- jane will present the following plays: Mon- day, Tuesday and Wednesday evenings and Wednesday matinee,Sardou’s famous “Mme. Sans-Gene,” written expressly for Mme. Rejane; Thursday evening, “Ma Cousine,” also written expressly for Mme. Rejane, by Henry Meilhac; Friday night,Sardou’s “Di- vorcons,” and Daudet’s “Sappho” at the Saturday matinee. There will be no per- formance on Saturday night. Seats will be on sale tomorrow morning. + “The Cross Roads of Life.”—The melo- dramatic success, “The Cross Roads of Life,” with its scenic effects and original New York company, comes to Butler’s Bijou Theater for one week only on Mon- day. Since its production at the Star ‘Theater, New York, last August, it has toured the principal cities of the country, meeting with success everywhere. Realism is one of its crowning: features; presenting pictures of the sea,/ with its lighthouses, foundering ships, crushing waves, lifeboats and the gallant crews that man them. The company includes Edmund Collier, the well- known heroic actor; Miss Helena Collf@?, a clever soubrette; Miss Carrie Francis, a charming emotional actress; J. K. Hutch- inson, a Clever stage villain; William Court- right, a comedian, who made his reputa- tion years ago. At every performance Jack McAuliffe, the lightweight pugilist, will ap- pear in a four-round bout with Jack Bolan, the champion lightweight of Washington. French Folly Company. — Manchester's French Folly Company will be the attr: tion at Kernan’s Lyceum Theater next week. The organization is composed of a number of well-known burlesque and spe- cialty artists, and.a corps of pretty girls enliven the entertainment with melodious choruses and lively: dances. The olio- is said to be especially strong, and includes a troupe of royal imperial Japanese stars, whose performance of acrobatic feats and juggling is ‘considered marvelous. Other favorites included on the roster are Lowry and Hanley, the travesty stars, and Van and Leslie, the comedy duo. The engage- ment begins with a special Easter matinec on Monday. Yale Glee Club.—The concert to be given Monday evening by the Yale Glee and Banjo Club promises to be an unusually good one, surpassing the previous efforts of this well-known organization. The pro- gram will consist of five selections by the banjo club and eleven songs by the glee club. Most of these are characteristic and jovial college melodies, and a large and enthusiastic audiencé of the college element of the city are sure to be present. ————— National Steamboat Company.

I bought bottle of Hood's Sarsaparilia. It DID ME MUCH GOOD And enabled me to do all my house cleaning and farm work throughout the summer. I first took Hood's Sarsaparilla six years ago for sick headache and general debility. At that time my weight was 140 pounds, where- as now I weigh 178 pounds and am still gaining. I have. taken Hood's Sarsaparilla every spring since. In fact it ts THE ONLY MEDIOINB I take during the year, for I do not need any more until the next spring. I think Hood's Sarsaparilla 1s the medicine for every one.” Mrs. F. H. ANDREWS, Box 182, South Woodstock, Connecticut.
