The building was pronounced by the educi and oth- who addressed the a of citi- zens as one of the finest school buildings to be found anywhere, and a model in both de- sign and construction. After 4:30 o'clock many hundreds of residents in the vicinity of the new building gathered to inspect it, and a universal comment of approval w; ailed forth. ‘The large central hall of the second story of the building was used as an audience room, and it was crowded with men, wo- n and children, eager to witness the er: dedication servic Wm.

Mr. Linton, chaarman of the school com- mittee, gave a brief history of the erfort had been made the North Capitol ton Citiz > the new “With the bh ns’ Association to se- buildin rly co-operation of our Dis- school ct Commissioners, und especially of Mr. ,” said M. inton, “a delegation of r members i ured bef yngress: and a an appropriation for an atrocm ¢ stimate had been ymitted by the Cc room buildi: that would fu missioners for a four- under the impression that nish ample accommodation: tor the ¢ f school age in this se tion; but a -Lo-house canvass by the committee revealed the fact that were about 4 childre of that age Within the bounds of our association, and our Commissioners promptly prepared a estimate of the ce ‘ture, with which + gation attempted to impre on Congress the necessity for the appropriation desired. ut little comfort was afforded by cither the House or Senate appropriation commit- tee as it was | ned that only five school: would be proviced f and our proposed building stood sixth on the list that had been submitted. Considerably disturbed, though not cast down, the deiegation withdrew; but later, feeling keenly the necessity for relief, : our children were attending the overcrowded schools in different the city int rveting of the and the chairmen of all the other commit- tees of the i peiation was held at the resi- dence of our president, which resulted in ne determination to “make a1 and mihty effort to secure the desired end, and another delegation was appointed to ap- pear before Congress. An earnest appeal was made to Senator Teller, who was a member of the S © appropriations com- mittee, and he listened mo: patiently and kindiy to the cts presented, seeming to. be ¢ y struck with the showing that aid upon five millions of dol- real estate by the citizens of the section desired to be benefited, which, he thought, entitled us to substantial rec- tion by Congress. He promised his support, and, upon the floor of the Senate, had inserted in the District appro- priation bill an item of $50,000 for a school t of an eight-room ment our u a dele- building. This amount subsequently reduced in the conference committee to $10,000, which Was the sum finally appro- this priated; and ev sibly ni amount might pos- en but for the tim entative Pitney of a member of the conference committee. “Our District Commissioners lost no time in having the necessary plans prepared, and from those submitted by different ar- chitects that of Mr. Appleton P. Clark, jr., w ccepted. “You all remember with what pride and interest we watched the progress of the building operations, from the excavation for the cellar to the crowning of the roof with its tail flagstaff. And as we behold, some of us for the first time, its beautiful and conveniently arranged interior, we are glad to express our appreciation of the genius of the architect and the skill of the builders, Messrs. Baldwin and Peake.” Mr. Clark entered the hall at the con- clusion of Mr. Linton’s remarks, and, being recognized as the architect of the building, was heartily applauded. Congratulations Extended. Superintendent Powell, being introduced to the audience, congratulated the people living in the vicinity of the new building upon having one of the best school houses in the District of Columbia. “I think,” he said, “this is perhaps the most conveniently arranged and most ele- gantly constructed building in the District of Columbia.” He spoke of the great power of the school house in advancing civilization, and_com- pered the civilization of the United States with that of Spain, saying the education of } to by owners Commissioner | the people here ‘was the important factor that had made it possible for the United States to whip Spain in three months. He xplained the system of education in prac- tice in the public schools here. and spoke of tue great advance achieved in the establish- ment of a kindergarten, which, he said would result in having children as well edu- cated at eight years of age, as they now are when ten years old. He spoke of the great advantage of manual training and of the effort made in the schools to allow the children with larger capacity to advance more rapidly than those with more restr! ed faculties. The great purpose of the pub- lic schools, he said, is to raise the lowest to the elevation of the children from the most favored families, and it Was a grand result when all these children could be associated together with injury to none. Other Addresses. Mr. Gage, supervising principal, was in- troduced by Mr. Henderson, who paid him a high compliment as a supervis.ng princi- pal. Mr. Gage said the building in which they were gathered was the best school house he knew anything abou:, and looked forward to it as a most promising educational field. Principal S. M. Ryder spoke briefly. He said he hoped parents of schoc! children would more generally make the acquaint- ance of the teachers. He spoke ef the need of a building near the new school house for the teaching of serving and cooking and for manual! training. . R.
