The fathers feared that the military might be- come dominant in this federal city and so they made Congress supreme ruler. AS a matter of fact, we ourselves | have made the military pretty nearly dominant_in the District, with Army officer as Engineer Comm sioner in charge of all public works, and with another Army off charge of public buildin grounds, who'is also in command of cial police force. “This city has grown beyond the until today it s not merely Uncle Sam's workshop, the legislative city for the country, but a progressive municipality made up of the picked men and women of the nation who have been called here for the most part to do government work, and the merchants, shopkeep- professional men and others necessary for the proper living of | such a large community. 1t is not the fault of these people —as loyal and true Americans as are found anywhere in the country, as| proved by their enlistments as Sol- sailors and by their sub- scriptions to all war drives—that they cannot run their own affairs;| that they have no vote or voice in their government, local or national; that they cannot say how the money they pay in taxes shall be spent.

During the period of the war Washington experienced unprecedented increase in popula- tion. The school system experienced a corresponding increase in school at- tendance. During this same period of the war, when school population was increasing so rapidly, school house construction was largely at a stand- 1, due to war conditions. But the war was not the only fac- tor. The present shortage of class- rooms in both elementary and high hools represents an accumulation of failures from year to year to pro- vide the additional classrooms neces- sary to take care of the increase in enrollment, and to provide the addi- ticnal educational facilities necessary in a growing and progressive school Obviously, when the addi- ooms opened each year afficient to accommodate the ircreased enrollment, it is impossible to abandon any old buildings, no mat- ter how antiquated or unserviceable they are. Evidence has been present- ed by Dr. Frank W. Ballou. superin- tendent of schools, showing that Schoolhouse construction during the past forty vears has not been suffi- the growing needs of the school system. . School Fund Inadequate. s “The regular annual appropriations for schoolhouse construction must be materially increased if the shortage of the past is to be made up. Two million dollars a year for a period of five vears will be necessary, accord- ing fo the estimate of Supt. Ballou. “This amount sill make it possible to abolish from the schools: Part time in the clementary schools and double shifts in the high schools; oversize classes in the elementary and high schools; the use of portables and other undesirable rooms in the elementary schools; all rented buildings, and the use of buildings recommended for abandonment. ‘The need of increased salaries for ‘Washington's_teachers is apparent to ¥ one familiar with public education. The present salaries are low in com- parison with the salaries paid in other cities. They are not high enough to se- cure the quality of service to which the nation’s capital is entitled. “The legislation fixing salaries of school employes and _establishing the plan of organization and administration of the school system of Washington was passed in 1906. Outside of piece- meal legislation in appropriation acts, no supplementary legislation has been passed since that time. Teanwhile, since 1906, great progress { has been made in theory and practice of educational administration. New legisla- tion is now a necessity, not only to pro- de adequate compensation for the em- ployes, but also to bring up to date the zanization and administration of the school system. For a long time the school officials have felt the urgency of such legisla- tion, Attempts have been made annually in_the school budget to secure increased salaries for employes over those estab- hed by law. Moreover, the appropria- tion acts have frequently carried scraps of legislation to meet new situations as they have arisen. This is not a good practice. The salary schedule should be established through legislation, and the school estimates for salaries prepared in accordance with that schedule. More- over, the need of recognizing and es- tablishing by law the many new prac- tices which have necessarily been inau- gurated in the school system is equally urgent. New Salary Schedule. “Accordingly, legislation was introduced in Congress during the past year cover- ing a new salary schedule and providing for some administrative reorganization. This bill provides increased compensa- tion for school employes. It recognizes the junior high school by providing a salary schedule for its teaehers. It proyides a salary schedule for free or administrative principals of elementary schools with sixteen rooms or more. It abolishes session-room pay as a means of compensating principals of element- ary schoois.” It abolishes the classes one, two, three, four and five, into which elementary school teachers are now, grouped. It abolishes the nt an- nual increases in salary which vary in amount and establishes a uniform in- crease of $100 per year for each ele- mentary school teacher. ‘This bill provides for the enlarge- ment and reorganization of boards of examiners, in order that they may transact the increasing amount of im- portant business which they must an- nually do. It authorizes the board of education to establish the rank of “annual substitute teacher.” It au- thorizes the board to appoint tempo- rary teachers. It authorizes the board of education to establish the compensation of all employes in the community-center department, the night schools, the vacation schools, and of all other empleyes who . are Paid out of lump-sum appropriations. 'The proposed salary schedule for Washington was based on the pres- ent compensation in Washington and on the gchedules received from other cities. ~Since Washington must com- pete with other cities for its supply of teachers, it must be prepared to pay as high for their services as other cities. It Washington is to, have as good teachers and as good. teaching as other ;)un it must pay salaries sufficiently” high to secure and retain such teachers. It is on the principle ——— 5 on the principle Request the Honor of Your Attend- ance at Their ter - Apparel > held the weel A:!

It is also the peculiar congestion of traffic caused at certain short periods of the day by the thou- sands of government employes crowding to and from work that causes the most serious problem. It is only fair to the street railway companies themselves that the de- cision should be made. Better Parks Needed. “Bills have been pending from time to time providing for the extensiow of the beautiful park system of the Nation's _Capital by acquiring the Klingle Valley, Piney Branch, .Pat- terson, and other tracts of land, 'which will undoubtedly give way to bullding growth if action is put off much longer. “The same observation applies with equal force to the proposal to ac- quire the sites of old civil war forts and to connect them with a circular driveway about the city “For several years the health de- partment of the District has been urging enactment of a new law to afford better protection to the milk supply of the National Gapital. “A ‘blue-sky law’ to pre¥ent fraud in the sale of securities in-the District is another important plece of legisla- tion the local authorities have asked Congress *to enact. “There also has been pending for several years proposed legislation to amend the pawnbroker's law in the District, with rates the same as in other cities. “Fhe license laws of the District need a thorough revision to meet present-day conditions, and the board of Commissloners has transmitted to Congress a bill suggesting what they regard as the necessary changes in license regulations for various kinds of business establishments. “Dhere have bee two bills pending in_which_the police department is Wanted Immediately Furnished Apartments and Furnished Houses Real Estate Investment Co.
