beef at all.n
"How do you support your assertion that
the meat is better now than bcforeY'
SPY the fact that our stock is carefully
cooled before killing; we have no feverlsh,
bruised cattle slaughtered, and after killing
the cooling is done gradually, so that the
temperature of 3S to 40 degrees, to which
II is reduced and kept during shipment and
storage, penetrates the whole carcass. On
the other hand the stock shipper slaughters
his animals when they are Just off a long
journey with all the discomforts and abuse
that 1t involves, and he has no proper facli-
ties for gradual cooling and maintaining an
even temperature. He slaps the carcass into
an ice box where the surface Is frozen, and
the interior is left exposed to the influences
OF warm temperature and fevered con-
dition."
"What Is the proportion of western beef
sold herem
"Not less than 90 per cent. of all con-
sumed in the District.n
"lIow does II come that there has not been
q greater reduction in prices from the intro
duction of this western beef ?n
because the beef shipped to Washington
for the winter averages several cents per
pound better in quality than that shipped
to any other city,"
"Ceuld not the local production supply
this market If the western beef was with
drawn?''
"No. There are only two or three months
in the year that local men compete In this
market at all, and then their supply is far
from sufficient to meet the demand.n

THE NEW SCHOOL BOARD.
Its Powers and Privileges as Defined
by the District Commissioner.

by the District Commissioners.
The commissioners letter to the school
trustees has been finished, but before being
given to the public 1t will likely undergo
revision. It is based upon the statements
made in their letter to the board on Dec.
80. The powers of the board are re-
stricted, and the members are constituted
an advisory board, with certain privileges
in the care and management Of the schools.
The school districts are done away with,
and all the trustees share alike the RESPONSE
bilities attending the management of the
schools. They are to make nominations
of teachers, andsattend to the classification
OF pupils, grading of schools, number of
pupils to each teacher, hours OF assembling,
length Of session, discipline, examinations,
promotions, criticism of teachers, and
methods of teaching, the courses Of studies,
the books to be used, and other minor par
ticulars that come In the way OF care and
management. All records of examinations
Of teachers are to be kept In the superin-
tendent's offices and duplicates sent to the
commissioners. Preference in the appoint
ment to teacherships is to be given TO the
normal school graduates. The commits
sioners reserve the right to accept or reject
nominations; in fact, all functions enjoyed
by the board Of trustees heretofore, except
those already delegated to the board by the
commissioners.
The letter quotes In full the law vesting
the power in the commissioners to super
wise school affairs. There is but little differ
enee in the letter over that of the one sent
to the board Of trustees on Dec. 30. Some
points in the duties Of the trustees are ex-
planned. The letter clearly defines the
powers and privileges of both bodies. The
commissioners in their review of the letter
may add to or take away some things laid
down. The powers Of the trustees, as laid
down by the commissioners, are In sub
stance and meaning equivalent TO the pow
ers now enjoyed by the major Of police,
chief engineer of the fire department, and
the health officer
