Hein, acting superinten- dent of the United States Military Acad- emy, has made his annual report to the Secretary of War. He says the discipline of the corps of cadets has been generally very good, with some exceptions, and the usual high standard of drill has been main- tained. It is recommended that all the obsolete artillery material in the siege and seacoast batteries of instruction, part of Which has been discarded on account of its unserviceableness, be replaced by modern guns, and that the fleld battery be in- creased by two guns, the present battery of instruction: being inadequate. The estiraates for the next fiscal year do not differ materially from those of last year. The most important items comprise the amounts needed for the {mprovement and reconstrvétion of the library building, the improvement of the water system and for remodeling the old army service bar- racks into a vommissary storehouse. “The number of cadets now authorized y law,” saysfhe acting superintendent, “is a and “the number of cadets at present 825, whith leaves forty-six vacancies, and thts latter number, a8 usual, will be in- creased considerably during’ the present school year. The average number of va- eancies fn the corps of cadets at the be- ginning of thée’second term of the academic year (after the January examination) dur- ing the »past five years was seventy-four, from which it) will be seen that in order to have the corns of cadets contain at all times the maximum strength (approximate- ly) now authorized by law, and for which there are sufficient instructional and bar- racks facilities, a slight increase in the number of the annual appointments cf ca- dets would.be necessary. This bas been recommended in many previous annual re- ports of the superintendent of the Military Academy and by the recent and former boards of visitors, and is again recommend- ed for your consideration.” ——— The New Japanese Tarif. Minister Buck at Tokyo reports to the State Department that the new customs tariff law will be enforced throughout the whole of the Japanese dominions from the 1st of January, 189. Mr. Buck says that the new harbor regulations will be enforced at the port of Yokohama from the 10th of October, and at Kobe and Nagasaki from the 1st of November, PUBLIC SCHOOLS Meeting of the Board of Trustees Yesterday Afternoon. DISCUSSION OF LAFAYETTE DAY Appointments and Promotions of Teachers in Several Grades. KINDERGARTEN METHODS ee A regular meeting of the board of trus- tees of public schools was held at the Franklin building last evening. There were present Messrs. Barnard, Hazen, Wil- son, Speare, Brown and Richardson, Mrs. Tulloch and Mrs. Terrell of the board, Superintendents Powell and Cook and S retary Falck. In the absence of Presi- dent Whelpley Mr. Barnard occupied the chair. The secretary read several communica- tions in favor of having the school children of the District participate in the movement for the erection of a monument to Lafay- ette in Paris. Mr. Speare moved to lay the matter on the table. He said he was op- posed, on principle, to any pro: calling on the school children for sut tions for any purpose, no matter patriotic, and as such action was contrary to the general rule of the board he saw no reason for making an exception in this case. There were other patriots, he said, to whom the people of America owed a debt of gratitude besides Lafa . and if a precedent was established now it would be difficult to draw the line, and no one could tell where it would end. Remarks were de by Mr. Superintendent Powell and Mr. Ba showing that the school children all over the country were aiding in the movement to raise a fund for building the monument, and that there no purpose or intention of making the contributions compulsory. Superintendent Powell explained that it was a national affair entirely, and that Oc- tober 19 next would be observed as “Lafay ette day” in all the public schools of the country. The occasion was to be observed with appropriate exercises, and the chil- dren desiring to do so would be enabled to contribute anywhere from one cent to & dime toward the monument fund. Mr. Speare subsequently withdrew his motion to table and moved instead that the matter be referred to the committee on rules. Mr. Wilson moved as a substitute the superintendents and the supervising principals be authorized to arrange for the proper observance of “Lafayette day,” leaving it to the children themselve ecntribute to the fund or not, as they fit. Mr. only Spi that Wilson's motion was dissenting vote being e, the of Mr. adopted, that Kindergarten Sch Mr. Barnard. Mrs. Tulloch and Mrs. Ter- rei, as a special committee appointed to ecnsider the advisability of organizing kin- dergarten schools as part of the public pln. schooi system, reported their conclusions and recommendations, as foll»ws: “First.
