K. Bruce as trus- tee of the public schools of the District of Colambia for the full term of-three years. Mr. Brace isan efficient school officer and his reappointment will be hailed with pleasure by the pa« trons of the public schools and the public generally. As there 18 no conpensation attached to tke posi« tion of trustee, the work being really. a labor of love and yet involving great responsibility.
