To Examine washington's Sewing School


The system of sewing classes adopted as q
par; of the public school education in the Dis
trict has attracted the attention Of the public
educators throughout the country, bat partic-
ularly those of the neighboring city Of Balti-
more. and committee representing the
schools of that city have arranged q visit to
Washington for the purpose Of holding a con-
ference with Supt. Powell on the subject. The
arrangements have been made by Mr. H. A.
Wise, the superintendent Of schools in the
monumental city. and NJ. Powell. in replying,
has set upon Monday or Tuesday of next week
fer the visit. There is some incredulity On
the part of the school commission of Balti-
more when the results of the Washington sys-
TEN. with such a small number OF teachers,
have been laid before them, and one OF them
has gone 20 far as to say that one hours in
struction week. with fifty pupils to each
teacher, must be humbug. Prof. Powell has
insisted that the real success Of the system here
proves this to be unfounded, and he invites the
Investigation of the Baltimore educators before
judging the matter.

The Rev. DIR. Parkhurst, of New
York, is to be congratulated on the sue
cess of his efforts in getting the laws
against liquor selling and gambling on
Sunday enforced for little time at
least. When he first made his accuse
tons of violations of the law, newspa-
pers that sided with the lawbreakers
said his charges were false; that the
minister's assertions were lies. Then
when Mr.. Parkhurst repeated that they
were true; that he visited in disguise the
places he indicated and knew what he
said; further, when the grand jury found
his accusations were true, and so re-
ported, then the same journals raised a
howl about the unworthy and unpreach-
erlike ways he had taken to get his
knowledge. You never can please some
people.

FATRHAVEN is ALL RIGHT

There is no occasion for alarm or any
great outburst of feeling on account of
the allegation in the Mckenzie avenue
assessment case attacking the validity
of the city's Incorporation. We may
grant or believe that it is unfortunate,
uncalled for and somewhat of an impo-
sition upon the people. But it is no
more of an "insult to the counciP' than
it is an insult to every citizen and tax
payer. "Insult' is hardly the proper
word to apply to it. When an attor-
ney or anybody else bases allegations
upon premises that are false his con
illusions are sure to be false also. OF
course we know nothing of the inner
workings of the legal minds that
evolved the Soldering complaint. But
it is hardly probable that they are en-
gagged in any deep and dark conspiracy
against the public veal Perhaps they
may be talking for effect" and per-
haps the effect may be just what they
want it to be and perhaps again it may
