Suggested Introduction of Kinder- garten System of Instruction. MANUAL TRAINING SCHOOLS Superintendent Powell of the public schools today presented to the Commis- stoners an explanation of the estimates submitted to them several days ago by the board of school trustees, which conta‘ns, among otker things, the following import- ant features: The nunber of new teachers asked is thirty-six, the same as that provided for the current fiscal year. Already it has teen proved, he says, that the number acd- ed is too small, so that the increase asked is justified. He explains in detail the sug- gested increases in salaries, and then says this of night schcols: “An increase for night schools is again asked. In the organization of night schools for the current year that has just been made we find the appropriation too small to put schools in many places where they are actually needed. Especially is this true in the colored schools in both the city and the county.” Then follows an explanation of the in- creases asked in the pay of janitors, and attention is called to the estimate for an engineer to operate the manual training school, whose duty it shall be to look after the machinery and keep it in repair. This, he says, is necessary and should be ap- propriated for. Matter of Repairs. Under this important head the superin- tendent says: “The amount submitted as necessary for repairs would not be too great if it were doubled. A large number of our school buildings cre in a disreputable condition for lack cf paint ard kalsomining. The hallways and runways generally are black, dingy and broken. Many of the roofs teak. ‘he outside appearance is such, for lack of paint or repair, as to cause remarks by the passersby.” Under the head of manual training he says: “The appropriation for the current year will not supply the necessary material for the conduct of this school. We shall have to do without material toward the close of the year or resort to making assessments on pupils for its purchase. Twelve thou- sand dollars is the least that should be appropriated.” Western High School. Concerning the estimate of $15,000 for completing the new Western High School and furnishing it with a proper outfit, Mr. Powell observes: “By completing is meant the construction of laboratories, physical, chemical, biologi- cal and botanical, which when made will be a part of the permanent structure. Thes2 necessary adjuncts to a properly equipped high school building could not be inciuded in the original plan of the building because of the iimited appropria- tion. By furnisting is meant the seating of the various school rooms and of the sembly hall and providing other appropri- ate appointments for retiring rooms, lava- tories, library, reception room for parents, teachers’ rooms and office of the principal. The amount asked is probably not a dollar too much to do passatly weil what should be done. No extravagant appointments are contemplated.” Other estimates are explained as follows: Contingent Expenses. “An increased appropriation for contin- gent expenses is well nigh a necessity to prevent harm to interests that are vital to the welfare of the school. Our health exercises require apparatus, which we can- not provide, for lack of means. This is true in the high schools, as well as in the grade schools. In many old buildings the curtains are wearing out,. thus giving dis- credit to the schools among those who pass them on the street and others whose residences are near, but more significant is the fact that the furniture, all of which Tust be purchased out of the contingent fund, is wearing out and becoming unsight- iy, unhealthful and very inconvenient. The school system has grown so large that the annual wear and tear of such appointments as must be purchased out of the contin- gent fund aggregate so much that a large amount is necded to prevent disreputabie appearance, and to give comfort and healthful accommodation to teachers and pupils. “Much that ought to be done, such as furnishing clean towels for the high schools ard grammar schools, to say nothing of the lower grade schools, and for furnishing respectable toilet accommodations for young ladies and gentlemen, has now to be omitted or neglected for lack of funds. Repeatedly, every year, the superintendent must refuse to buy a couch for the teach- ers’ retiring room, in which there is none, where teachers and mature young women may seek a place of rest and retirement. This condition of schcol is not conducive to happiness or the best school results, and is not creditable to a community as in- telligent as that of Washington. “It has never been possible to supply the janitors with the necessary shovels, lawn Towers, hose and many other things that they ought to have, that they may keep the schoo] houses and school lots in proper conditon. Free Text Books. “Fifty thousand dollars are asked for the purchase of text books and supplies. The sum appropriated for last year was too small, as shown by experience. That ap- propriated for the current year will prove too small as it appears to us now. Here- tofore only a half set in the case of some books has been provided for a school, on the theory that one div:sion may use a set of books while the other division recites on a subject treated in another set of books. This plan in practice, so far as the con- duct of the school is concerned, works well enough, and from the standpoint of educa- tion is satisfactory, but the health officer of the District has advised, and with wis- dom, I think, that to prevent contagion, the same books should not be used by dif- ferent pupils, when this practice can be avoided. ‘= “Extra money is necessary to complete many sets of books. This amount, together with the amount necessary to supply the annual need of 43,000 or 44,000 children at a dollar per capita, a very small estimate, will require a sum not less than that asked. Unt] additional appropriation is made for the completion of partial sets of books, this desirable change cannot be made in entirety withott infringing upon the amount demanded for the current neces- sities of the schools, New Buildings. “The eight-room building asked for by the nertheast should be located somewhere not far from, but north of, the junction of H street and Benning road. This building is to relieve the Pierce, Taylor and Blair schools, which are now crowded, and also to provide suitable accommodation for schools now occupying rented rooms in this vicinity. This school building is one of the first that should be provided. “The building to be erected the current One Woman’s Word. “I copsider Ayer’s Pills the best in the world.""—Mrs. A. C.

On the Birney lot there ts now a four-room: build- ing, but there is ample room for the addi- tion asked. Considering the rapid growth of population in this section it might be wise for the honorable Commissioners to consider the propriety of either estimating for an eight-room building or of waiting 4 year, so that an eight-room building could be more easily secured. The schools here must be relieved very soon. Manual Training Schools. “Appropriations are asked for manual training schools to supply room for schools now in existence which are sadly restrict- ed in their usefulness for lack of room and appliances. These schools, which are now doing excellent work, corresponding to that of the high schools in other branches of education, are an outgrowth of a system of manual training which be- gis in the prirary school, and continues throughout the entire system of schools. This manual! training in the entire system of schools is varied in character, and is as efficient in its operation in each grade and its results are as gratifying as are those of any other branch of education. The de- mund for more room and better equipment is urgent. A faliure to provide suitable ccmmodatioa fer the High School of this department of education will cripple it for doing the work expected of it by the commur ity.

An addition is asked to this build- ing such as was made to the Brightwood tailed as Detectiyes—Step in Reorganization, Today the Commissioners; upon the recommendation of Inspéttor Mattingly and the approval of Major Moore, transferred to street duty Detectives Edward Horn and Benjamin T. Rhodes, an@ appvinted in their Places Privates Frank “Baur* and Frank McNamee. " These changes are in line .with the re- crganization of the detective: department, which commenced with the appointment of Detective Mattingly as thief of detectives. When Detective Mattingly became the head of the department of detection he was as- sured that everything would be done in the way of co-operation ‘by ‘those above him to give him an effictent force. That whatever recommendations he made with a view of bettering the department, they would be approved. In. other words, he was to be given unlimited authority to bring the detectivé. bureau up to its high- est standard, and held responsible therefor. After Inspector Mattingly had assumed his new duties he called upon Commission- er Wight one afternoon and recalled the conversation he had had with him concern- ing the detective department, and inquired if he remembered what was said about a Yeorganization. The Commissioner replied that he did perfectly, and then reiterated what he had said previously about the in- spector having absolute authority to make any changes which, in his opinion, would better the detective force. Major Moore was called in the conference, and the major said his recollection of the interview was substantially as ‘the Commissioner had re- called, and, as far as he was concerned, he would cheerfully approve any recommen- dation the inspector would make. Inspector Mattingly explained when the interview had concluded his desire to thor- oughly understand the situation. He had no friends to reward, no enemies to pun- ish. ‘That whatever changes he would recommend would be for the good of thc service. To make a recommendation which would transfer a detective to street duty and not have it approved would. result only in disorganization, For to have a man understand he had been recommended for transfer and then to be saved through the agencies of his friends would cancel the influence the chief had over kim and seriously impair his efficiency. At that interview Inspector Mattingly mentioned no names. He explained in an- Swer to a question, he had not fully made up his mind and was not going to be in a hurry. And no one knew who was to be transferred, not even Commissioner Wight himself. In fact, no one knew until last Saturday when the recommendation wes made. Detective Horn has been identified with the detective department since July 15, 1886, with the exception of a short interim when he was transferred for street duty. Detective Rhodes was ‘letailed as de- School, and aiso to the Brookland School, as | tective June 1, 1893. He had been identi- well as that at Tenleytown. The addition is | led with the poli¢e force since March, urgent, although the number of pupils 1s Pot such as to overcrowd the school rooms new in use. ‘The nece: is, however, great, because the school has to provide instruction for the eight grades below the High School, and because the manual training and cooking and cutting and fitting classes cannot be accommodated in the present building. The Kindergartens. “The sum of twelve thousand dollars is | department. asked for kindergartens, that we may make a beginning in this most useful branch of education. This money will be used for payment of teachers, janitor ser- vice, fuel, school supplies, first equipment and rent wherever the latter is necessary. “One-half of the rooms that will peers ed for the expenditure of twelve thouband dollars on kindergarten may possibly be found in our own school houses. It is best, however, not to depend cn this possibility. The other half will have to be rented cer- tainly, and perhaps all of the rooms. “The cust of a single kindergarten wil! be approximately as follows: Room rent, $300 jaritor’s service, $144; outfit, $150; fuel, $40; teacher’s service, $400; contingent expenses, $56.90; total, $1,090.90. “It is proposed to put a kindergarten in each division as an experiment. Eleven kindergartens, one in each division, will thus cost twelve thousand dollars. I be- Neve the time has come for Washington to important step in education.” es Contested Election Case Decided.

NO GOOD FRESHMAN CANDIDATES Game With Yale to Be Played at New Haven. FIRST TIME. FOR YEARS Special Correspondeace of The Evening Star. PRINCETON, N. J., October 2, 1897. Princeton has again opened her fall cam- paign on the field of the whitewashed lines, and for two months now the campus will murmur with foot ball talk and discussions of every possible contingency from every possible standpoint. There has been some talk as to tak- ing on again the game with the Univer- sity of Pennsylvania, which was discon- tinued’ after the season of 1894. It has been decided, however, that it would not be advisable, now at any rate, on account of the bitterness which exists between the two universities, and even if relations of absolute harmony prevailed between the two it would be now almost impossible to arrange a Gate which would be satisfac- tory to both parties. Princeton will miss this year her game with Harvard, but she has become se accustomed to Harvard’s erratic way oz dropping out of the game after a year or two that little surprise was manifested at the action. Perhaps after Harvard has gotten her breath after her last two defeats we shall have an oppor- tunity to meet again. The two teams which Princeton meets this year as unknewn quantities are Lafay- ette and the Carlisle Indian School. Lafay- ette last year, under the coaching of Parke Davis, an ex-Princeionian, played the Tigers a tie game and beat University of Pennsylvania 4-0. The Indians attracted universal attention last season by their showing against the larger universities, and this year under the coaching of Hickok, Bull and McCormick, all old Yale ’varsity players, are at least a puzzle to be solved. To Play at New Haven. Princeton this year plays Yale in New Haven on their own grounds, the first time since 1885, when Lamar won the game for Princeton by one of the longest runs in the history of big games. The move is one in the direction of holding ail col- legiate games on college grounds, and while it dces not meet the favor of many who can more conveniently go to Manhattan Field in? New York there is much to be said in its favor. Princeton opens this year with a ma- jority of her last year’s champion eleven still in coilege, those remaining being Coch- ran, right end; Hillebrand, right tackle; Armstrong, right guar, and Crowdis, left guard, all live men, d back of the line are Bannard, Kelley and_ Reiter, half backs, and Baird and Wheeler, full backs. Brokaw and Church, left end ana tackle, respectively, Gailey, center, and Smith, quarter beck, graduated last June, and their places are to be filled. It was expected that much good material would be forthcoming from the freshman class, as a championship usually attracts to the winning ccl'ege a number of men from the preparatory schools of the country. The present year, however, seems to be the exception, since no one has yet shown up as a bright particular star from among the entering class. Filling the Vacanctes. The orange and black is, therefore, de- pendent for the filling of her vacant places on those who played as substitutes on the ’varsity eleven last year, or on the mem- bers of the scrub or second eleven. The men who have so far been tried in the open places are as follows: At center, Booth, who played guard in one or two of the games last year; he is a strong man and aggressive in his pDlay, but shows that he is new to his work yet and needs much coaching to fiJ the place satisfactorily. Holt, who played as guard for Harvard during the season of 1895 and who played on Princeton’s scrub in the same place last year, is this season eligible to play under the “one year residence” rule and is being tried at left tackle. He is six feet four inches tall and weighs 198. He was the strongest man on the scrub line last year, and while he shows some awkardness in his new duties much is ex- pected of him later on. He is unusually quick for so large a man and has plenty of “sand.” Lathrop is at present the most promising candidate for end rush, having shown up in better form than either Craig or Ogilsby, the other two competitors, but he is not oy any means up to form, and the place is much in doubt. At cuarter back most of Princeton's difficulty les. Smith, who played here last year, was an unusually good man and there seems as yet to be no one to fill h!s place. Four men have shown up so far. Arthur Poe, who played with the freshmen last year, Rosengarten a cousin of last year’s half beck, Palmer, who played half back on the scrub, and Burke, a new man. Poe uses his head in the work, but is not very accurate in handling the ball. Rosengarten and Palmer are slow on sig- rals and burke, who directs his plays well, does not carry out the other duties of the place as well as the other three. It is hoped that other men will show up, for at present Smith’s loss is the most serious .cne to the team. There is an abundance of material for half back. Kelley and Bannard, who played on last year's team, are still in college, ag is Reiter, who was substitute. Wheeler, who played substitute full and half back last season, is showing up in good form and is especially valuable, as he plays full- back, and either right or left half with equal facility. It is an open fight for these Positions and the men appreciate it and ere work'ng accordingly. There was some talk of playing Baird, last-year’s full back, at quarter, but as he has had the advan- tage of two years’ individual coaching un- der Moffat, Princeton's star full-back, it was decmed unw‘se to move him from his old place. Princeton is not in the habit of starting out with the tale of death, disease, devas- tation and distress which annually eman- ates from New Haven, but with the present situation at quarter back and left end, she has much to make up before she can vut into the field a team competent to vlay anywhere near the game put up by last year’s eleven. No Danger of Self-Con’ mee. ‘There is little danger that there will be this year the dissstrous outcome which marked the close of the season of 1894, when the majority of a championship team of the year before went absolutely to wreck on the rock of self-confidence. This year the men have started with the distinct im- pression that they have their places to earn, and that a man who played on last year’s team is the best man for the place otly so long as he can demonstrate that he is playing better foot ball than the other candidates for the same position. The captain, Cochran, is clear headed and not overwhelmed by his success last year, and the men will work for him will- ingly and he has the confidence of the college and the alumnt, Altogether this year wili see a hard work- ing, conscientious team, which expects to any opinion on the work of the team, as a whi but the game with Lehigh on Sat- ur, sy will show sn a Successful Meet of the Cross Country Cycle Clab. - The race meet of the Cross Country Cycle Club, which was held Saturday afternoon ‘ Athletic was, THE TIGERS’ ELEVEN) ae | a ng -and: he brought forth a number novice.—First heat—John Lewis second; James Smith, CEntoa Batrles, fovrth.

Bateman at the Riggs House. - a Leading Lawyer of Cin- cinnati and Had Come to Wash- ington on Important Business Mr. Warner M. Bateman of the law firm of Bateman & Harper of Cincinnati, who achieved a wide reputation for his fearless course when United States attorney in Cin- cinnati, several years ago, died suddenly this morning of an attack of angina pec- toris_ in room No. 238 at the Riggs House, Mr. Bateman reached the city last night in company with Mr. M. Mihalovitch of Cin- cinnati, for the purpose of making an argu- ment today on some important customs cases pending in the Treasury Department. He was apparently in excellent health, and in his usual good spirits. He consulted dur- ing the evening with Gen. W. W. Dudley of the firm of Dudley & Michener, who was associated in the cases in question. He made an engagement with Gen. Dudley to meet again this morning, at the hotel, at 11 o'clock, and proceed across to ‘ihe treasury. Mr. Bateman ate a hearty breakfast and discussed the news of the morning with his usual zest and animation. When the meal was concluded he went with Mr. Mihalo- vitch to the latter's room, No. 238, on the second floor, and adjoining his own, which was No. 237. In a few minutes he complained of in- tense pains around his heart. Dr. Z. T. Sowers was immediately summoned and instantly perceived Mr. Bateman’s condi- tion was critical. Two severe attacks of pain followed after the physician's arrival, but were relieved. The third came a few minutes before 11 o'clock and was instantly fatal. Between the second and last attack Mr. Bateman eagerly inquired of Dr. Sowers if he would be well enough to make his argument at the treasury. When Gencral Dudley arrived at the hotel Mr. Bateman was dead. Dr. Sowers gave a certicate of death from angina pectoris. Mr. Bateman was in the flush of middie age, and of. robust physique and fine ap- pearance. He is survived by a widow and three children. The body will be taken to Cincinnati tonight. ESCAPED FROM THE ASYLUM. A Rich Virginian is Apparently Ab- dacted in Philadelphia. Frederick G. Rust, formerly of Loudoun county, Va., who since May, 1887, has been an inmate of the Pennsylvania Hospital for the Insane, disappeared Friday. Some of Mr. Rust’s friends claim that he has been forcibly abducted and that the object is to keep him away from the courts so that his mental condition may not be examined into. Mr. Rust is said to be worth $80,000, and has a yearly income of $4,000. Mr. Rust was admitted to the asylum on the certificate of Drs. Mills and Lloyd. R. T.” W. Duke of Charlottesville, Va., committee in lunacy for Rust, some time ago made application before Judge Hare of Philadel- phia for a writ of habeas corpus that Rusi might be brought before the court to show why he should not be released or at least given a jury trial. Under a recent act of assembly an inmate of an asylum for the insane may demand a jury trial. Bartholomew Lynch, an attendant at the asylum, it is stated, was sent yesterday to accompany Rust from the asylum to Green’s Hotel for the purpose of allowing Rust to play billiards. Lynch says that as they were walking along 49th street toward Market strcet a tall man grabbed Mr. Rust about the body; inclosing his arms, and said: “You are my prisoner.” Mr. Rust tried to strike him, but could not, his captor being too strorg for him. Another man grabbed Lynch and detained him while the other got away with Rust. August 21, this year, Rust presented a peti- tion to tke court of common pleas, No. 2, Philadelphia, setting forth that he was “confined, detained and restrained of hs] DEATHS * liberty in the Pennsylvania Hospital for | DENTISTRY the Insane by Dr. John B. Chapin, super- intendent of the said hospital; now a sound siate of mind and demanded a jury trial.” The court granted a rule on Dr. John court d:rected notice to be given to his com- mittee, appointed by the county court of Loudoun county, Va., and to one or more of his nearest kin. The case has been post- poned twice. eee SE GOES CONDENSED LOCALS. Fifteen arrests were made Saturday night for intoxication. Those offende: _ locked up the effects of their liquor.
