On the queéstion of admission of non-resident pupils to logal schools, the committee decided to offer the fol- iowing amendment: “The children of officers and men of the United States Army, Navy and Marine Corps and children of other employe of the United States sta- tioned outside the District of Colum- bia shall be admitted to the public schools without payment of tuition.” The Senate committee included a n to insure 15 days' leave an- ¥ to those per diem employes of *t government who are em- ployed for 10 months of the year. For purchase of small park areas, an increase of $10,000 over the House item, making a total of $15,000. Eleventh Street Item Out. The Senate committee struck out the House item for the widening and repaving of Eleventh street between New York and Massachusetts ave- nues, § 00. The public school items reduced by the Senate were: Francis Junior High School, $25,000; for continuing work on the new McKinley ‘High School, $200,000; junior high school to replace Garnet-Patterson School, $100 hool gymnasium and ass $75,000, and West School 3 ium and assem all, $75 The public school items Vv the Senate commit enlarging Langley Junior High $100,000; rental of school buildings, $2 uj:u. and purch: of supplies, 4 The Senate committee increased the allotment for the Zoological Park by $49,000, to construct a bird exhibition building Other increases made we in coroner’s office, $900; salari in laygrounds department, $6,160; sal- ries in Police Court, $300; site for x(w\\ reservoir for Water Department, The committee eliminated the item of $6,000 put in by the House for a counsel for the Public Util- mmission. the heading of public wel- tivity, the Senate committee decrease of $26,080, made up e following reductions: Personal ervices, $10.080; Washington Home for Incurables, ,000; Georgetown University Hospital, $3,000; George Washington University Hospital, $£3,000, and Southern Relief Society, $5.000. The total of the jtems cut from the bill is $770,480 and the total amount, added is $708,960, leaving a ge; decrease from the House bill of 61,520, In striking out the House mandate for an increase of 25 per cent in the water rates the Senate commit- tee cepted the suggestion of the District Commissioners that if the revenue of the Water Department under existing rates is not sufficient to meet expenses during the next fiscal the difference shall be taken from the neral revenues of the city. The Senate committee also made the necessary changes in phraseology in the bill to provide for the new Board of Public Welfare, which will on July 1 replace the Board of Charities, Board of Children’s Guard- jans and the trustees of the National Training School for Girls. Traffic Bureau Curbed. The Senate committee placed a limitation of $350,000 on the amount of money the Traffic Bureau could spend out of fees derived from the re- newal of automobile permits for the installation of traffic signal lights. The House bill provided that all of the fees coming from operators’ per- mits could be used for traffic lights without stating the amount. The exact sum the renewal of per- mits will produce is not known, but it the pending traffic bill becomes a law with the provision for a $3 fee for a three-year permit, it is esti- mated that approximately 155,000 per- mits would be issued, producing, in round figures, $465,000. Should this estimate be borne out, therefore, the effect of the Senate amendment limit- ing expenditures for traffic lights to $350,000 would be to leave a balance of $115,000 from operators’ permits to £o into_the general fund of the Dis- {rict. The Senate committee did not change the other item of $100,000 ap- proved by the House for the expenses of the traffic department over and above fees from permits. : Salaries Workmen have been searching for over 15 years for a leak in the gas main beneath one of the most promi- nent streets in London, e committee reduced school building items by in school items of $103 HOW D.

Dillard of Charlottes. ville, in an address entitled “The Third Power of the Teacher,” sald the first thing necessary if for the teacher to know his or her subject. The first power, he said, is a profession. He urged the teachers to read English literature and to keep reading.
