THE PUBLIC SCHOOL REPORT
A Loan for the Purpose Of Erecting schot
buildings Recommended,

The annual report Of the trustees Of the
public schools, which has been published,
calls attention to the fact, though the District
has cause to be proud Of the school buildings
which IL owns, yet there are not near enough
OF them, and recourse has been compelled to
hire, places inferior In merit and with most
unfavor,blc adjuncts and surroundings.
Many Of these are inconvcnicntly located, i'm
perfect In construction, dilapidated from age,
damp and unhealthy, poorly ventilated, poorly
lighted lacking everything essential TO physi-
cal welfare and deficient in modern accommo-
dations. This condition Of the buildings Is
conducive TO eye diseases, headache, bleeding
ut the nose and diseases Of the respiratory
organs among the children. Health, decency
aud comfort are seriously intcrfcrcd with.
Large outlays arc constantly required to
make them habitahle, and not unfrequently
schools are dismissed for days together, and
studies interrupted, until necessary repairs can
he made
The report complains Of the high rents and
large expenses of providing school buildings
and addresses other arguments showing the
advantage to the District Of absolutely own
ing all buildings used for school purposes.
The annual rents of school-houscs amount
to 2l,l4s.Ts. great part Of the whole ex-
pense for repairs, $1,000, with 81 100 more for
the care of water-closets is chargeablc 10
rented buildings. The report argues that the
sum VI rtHts HoN Hiiu Noulh ht w
meet the interest Of Loan for building pur-
poses and to create sinking fund; f22A,cOO is
estimated by Superintendent Wilson as an
ample sum to furnish all ac ommc'iations now
supplied by icltc buildings and rooms. The
report recommends that Congress authorize
a loan at a fair rate Of interest and all diff
culties will be overcome.
The report calls attention to the national
character Of the public schools ofthc District
the fact that their benefits are enjoyed by
thousands of transient residents, who CON
tribute nothing to their support, and thai
Congress should appropriate towards their sup.
port. The present accommodations are insult
fcient for the children in the District, and
more schools are needed. The report cnlsrg,s'
upon the practicalncss of public school train
ing, and shows q great necessity for a high
school for boys. In conclusion, the report calls
attention to the law compelling the attendance
Of children between the ages of eight and four
teen years and adds that il sufficient school
houses were provided the law could be enforced
and absentces brought in.

"NEGATTTE SLIP"
Wonderful Phenomenon in steamship Sail
ing,


Ing.
Prom ne " Y Herald
The new steam lannch Arrow, now lying at
the foot Of Court street, Brooklyn, has, by re-
cent experiments, developed the fact that she
Ia possessed Of that great phenomenon known
in shipbuilding as negative slip'-viz: run
ming faster than the pitch of the screw and its
revolutions calls for. This is considered to be
most remarkable feature, only one similar
case being at present known. The first in-
stance In which negative slip was dis
covered was upon the completion OF man-of-
war for the British Government some ten
years ago. II was set forth in the specifca-
tions that screw with n certain pitch should
be provided for the vessel; that the engine
should turn the screw certain num-
Der of revolutions per minute and also
that the vessel should possess GER
tain speed. Upon her trial trip the
Government officers found that the specified
number of turns were not made by the engine,
but that the speed Of the ship was considerably
faster than the contract required. The vessel
was paid for after further tests, and then q
great deal Of discussion arose between boat
builders and engineers as to what should cause
the vessel to run faster than her screw. The
theory was finally arrived at that while sail
ing the ship dragged the water after her at the
rate Of about two miles an hour, and that when
the screw came to IL it possessed, like other
screws, positive slip" but the speed being less
than the drag Of the ship, the remarkable
fcaturn of negative slip" was produced. The
launch Arrow was built and Is owned by Capt.
Hatfield. The pitch of ber screw Is thirty
eight inches aud makes 800 turns per minute.
II, instead of slipping forward, the screw
Slipped back thirty per cent, @ Is the case
with other small boats, her speed would he
only 5G2-1o0 miles per hour. But the fact has
been determined that her screw slips forward,
rs in the British man-of-war. On n recent test
the Arrow made two and one half miles in
seventeen minutes with the tide, and the same
distance in twenty minutes against it. This
gives her seven and one half miles per hour
rate of speed which, when 200 turns are made,
places IT Mt eight miles per hour. Should the
secret of negative slips" he definitely arrived
at great improvements in steamship sailing
may be locke ed for.

The Charges Against Police Lieut.. Austin.

Commissioners Britton, Herr and Somervile
Of the Police Board, yesterday afternoon ex-
ainincd number Of witnesses in reference to
the charges preferred against Lieut.. Austin, of
the Fifth precinct, by Mr.. VIM. Dickson. The
charges are that the Lieutenant acted in an
ungcntcmanly and unofiiccrly manner, and
encroached upon the rights Of citizen in
ejecting Mr.. Dickson from the station on the
night that the famous raid was made on the
Chesapeake restaurant. The question was
raised US to whether there was any force or
violence used in cjcctng Mr. Dickson, and
there seemed to he II considerable diversity of
opinion, the witnesses on behalf Of the Lieu
tenant claiming there was not, while those for
the prosecution claimed that there was. The
commissioners will probably report the result
oftheir investigation at the regular meeting of
the board tonight.
