THE SCHOOL BOARD REPORT.
Better Salaries for Teachers Wanted
More High Schools Needed.


The annual report of the school board to the
District Commissioners has been completed by
Trustees Wilmer, Darlington and Gregory,
committee on the report The subject Of the
inadequacy of the present salary list in the pub
lie schools is strongly presented. In no city,
it is urged, is the attendance in the higher
grades so great, and the preponderance of in
crease is in the high schools. The causes Of
this spring from a single source, namely, the
absence of large manufacturing and industrial
enterprises, whose existence in a community is
always attended with the presence of a large
laboring class, the educational privileges of
whose children are limited to the lowest or
primary schools"
The report states that the high school is
badly crippled by the inability of the board to
retain the services of the best teachers to
whom the salaries are too small to be an in
dneement. Attention is called to the necessity
OF suitable BUILDING for the colored high
school that will compare favorably with the
other high school in location and appointments.
The trustees say that point has also been
reached in the history of the Washington high
school IN which 1t has become apparent that a
single high school is insufficient to meet the
wants OF community numbering nearly or
quite quarter OF a million Of inhabitants, and
as the best and most complete
remedy, the establishment OF two complete ad-
ditional high schools, one located in the third
or Capitol Hill division and the other in the
northwest section of the city, either in or con-
venient to Georgetown.
The report concludes thus. "We earnestly
recommend that the average salary may be
fixed at 500. which, il done, would settle. as
we believe, for many years to come, the en-
barrassments hereinbefore set forth and the
injustice to teachers which unavoidably results
thereform."

Expensive? Yes.


And the reasons we beg to explain: expensive because
it is pure; yes. absolutely pure Arowroot or starch
are cheap But there is none in ours. The best
selected cocoa beans come high. and only those do
use Over fifty per cent of every such bean is of
use to US. So you see it is expensive.
But as it is pure and concentrated it goes far
ther. A pound of Blookers will make $50 cups of the
most delicious cocoa tasted.
Therefore though Blookers dutch Cocoa costs
ST. per pound it goes farther than the aduterated
article Haf-pound package 55c. First class grocers
