THE PUBLIo SCHOOLS.
a Prospect OF Increased Attendnnce--Noro
Accomm odations Needed.

The public schools open on Monday no1t
with the prospect of an increased attendance
Of pupils over any preceding year. The yearly
increase OF pupils in tho Washington public
schools for number Of years past has been
very great averaging 1, 200 and over. This Is
due not alone to the natural Increase, but also
to tho iaot that tho public schools 10 the past
years have boon drawing largely from tho pri.
vate schools. Superintendent Wilson thinks
the schools have reached their maximum OF
growth from this last source, as thero arc but
lew private schools In the District now from
which such Increase can be bad. In other
words, tho public schools have about ex-
hausted the resources Of the private in
drawing on them for pupils. The two
new school.houses, the Force in the west
ern part Of the city aud the Peabody
on Capitol hill, will not be ready for occupancy
until after tho middle Of September. When
the buildings are finished and handed over to
the District authorities IL will take week or
two 10 get their furniture properly arranged.
The furniture for several other schools has not
yet arrived In the city and hence there will be
some delay in accommodating the pupils, This
Is matter to be deplored, as the school year Is
only about 100 days and there is no margin Of
time TO be spared.
Tho necessity for proper high school build.
Ing becomes more pressing every year. Doing
the best they can the board of trustees can
had thcy room at least 500 would enter the
| high school course this year WIFI ., .,e natu.
| raj increase In th- ,,,,,hor or nuniis there
90 yearly addition to the ranks of high
| school students and accommodation becomes
question which must DO answered. The
high school is tho fruit of the public school
system, SO to speak, whero the promise OF the
latter becomes matured in results that cannot
but reflect benefcially upon the community
II is much to bo desired that this important
matter should be settled at an early day. The
| gratifying fact is revealed by examination oi
the superntendcnt's reports that the number
Of children Attending school in the District
bears ratio to the population oqualled by
few cities in the country and surpassed by
none. Out of population of district III
round numbers of 10000 there will bo this
scholastic year an attendance Of about 3OOOl
children, or one.sixth of the entire population
