The figures presented are obstinate. The measurements have been fairly taken by competent en- s#tnmecrs and are beyond the reach of any who may feel like opening up a controversy as to their accuracy. The existence of the evil must be admitted. But it need not comiinue to exist.

Washington has many things to be proud of; among them no feature more worthy of honest pride than its public school sys- tem. From small beginnings that system has grown uptit it affords educational factll- ties for nearly forty-tive thousand children. More than e red school buildings dot this national reservation and testify to the Benera] desire to wive every boy and girl round themselves in the essen- to real success in life. But the system ig stil! far from sufficient. It h: t moved | forward with that rapidity which has been ationai characteristic in cities where the schools have not such high rank as our schec!s—so fur us they go—have, In al! that pertatng to purely academic training Was ton 1s easily first; the mercantile ogurses provided In the vigorous and popu- ‘lar Business High Sonool are being thor- oughly appreciated; but in the {mportant matier of mpnuai training we are at the wrong end of the precession, That the Board of School Trustees recognize this fact Is demenstreted by their estimates for the next flagal year, printed elsewhere in ‘The Siar, Thee an appropriation of §60,- 000 is asked for, in order that there may be qtablished here two manual-training iggtitutes; one for white pupils and one for aelored pupile. Fos these institutes—which ; and magnificent will undoubtedly be trade-schools of the ; best sort—there is loud and insistent de- mand. Hundreds of boys and giris whose parents cannot afford to give them a high- school course are compelled to lives of comparative uselessness because we offer them no such advantages along the lines of manual training as are freely given those who elect to be polished classically. The system will be lopsided until the boy who Wants to learn a trade has at last an equal opportunity with the boy whose desire is & profession. The fundamental principle of the public-schools is equality of right, and it is this principle which ts being advocated by the trustees in this manual-training Proposition. The idea is not a new one. At least twice has the board put itself on record as favor- ing the extension for which it asks once more. Last year the District Commission- ers cut the item out of the estimates; prior to that the appropriations committees of Congress neglected to fall into line. This time, so it is understood, the trustees are in earnest. They know—as many other citi- zens must—that the time is full ripe for the esiabiishment here of institutions the like of which have done marvelous work in other cities; they see that ignorance, for which the legislative authorities are largely re- sponsible, can be lessened and crime conse- quently decreased by the adoption of the methods now advocated by every educator who is in touch with the people and things of today. As yet, the trustees have not announced thetr plan of campaign. Individual members of the board have declared themselves and will doubtless fight valiantly for a project that deserves the enthusiastic support of the entire community. That the District Commissioners will fail to urge the appro- priation is not probable; they are aware of the public sentiment and may be depended upon, The Star imagines, to lend their aid to the altogether-desirable proposition. ———_++<+- The Only Urban Summer Resort. “With such cheap rates, it will not be surprising lo see Norfolk, Richmond, New- port News and the surrounding population move bodily to Baltimore. There is room for them all here, and Baltimore is one of the fin t summer resorts In the country.” ays the Baltimore American, which Pleasant snd generally accurate. ton is proud of its suburbs, of which Haitimcre is one, but it has never yet claimed thet Baltimore, with its narrow streets and ancient drainage methods and all the hurry and bustle of a prosperous business community, could be regarded as even a feeble imitation of a summer re- sort. The ideal midsummer resting-place 1s about forty miles from Baltimore; almost anywhere within the limits of the District of Columbia. Here are the broad avenues shade trees and cool breezes and parks almost without number; past this city glides the historic Potomac and within our gates are attractions of nature and art sufficient to satisfy the hun- griest searchers after those things which delight the soul. The Norfolk, Richmond and Newport News people who are looking for a summer resort may come to Wash- ington through Baltimore if they so desire but there really isn’t any reascn why they May not come by a more direct route. —_++2—___ Only two hundred snd twenty men were engaged today on the apparently tmpossi- ble task of bringing the new city post-office building to a state of completion before the close of the year 1897. ++ —____ Some of the special writers have given way to a familiar tendency and are indus- triously laboring under the impression that Mrs. Bryan and the children are running for the presidency. ———~+e—____ A large number of American citizens stepped out of St. Louis into total obscur- ity last Saturday. - —__—_~eo_ Mr. Sewall’s asseveration that he is a democrat has not yet led to any protest from Senator Hill ——— If Hoke Smith resigns he will be one of the few men who ever went so far as to bolt a salary. eo —___ SHOOTING STARS.
