As a Teacher Sees 1t.

10 the Editor of The Evening Star:
In Mondays issue of your paper Miss
Brown" wishes, among other things, to
remind us again that the first duty of the
public schools Is to give to the masses a
good foundation in the three RS and sug-
gests that time might be more proftably
spent II the fancy trimmings" were not
allowed such an important place. The
writer Of this article was a pupil in the
primary schools when. practically, all the
time was devoted to the three RS and
though by no means a backward pupil
could not do nearly such good work in
reading, writing or arithmetic at the end
or the NTH or sixth year in school as the
average third grade pupil does today in the
schools in which the fancy trimmings"
are in vogue. The sciences in our schools
are intended mainly as a means to an
end: the end being to train pupils to OBJ
serve, to reason and to acquire manual
dexterfty. Experience, besides the laws of
psychology. teaches that far better results
are obtained when pupils are led to &C
quire ideas by being brought into relation
with things instead of words and signs.
There are large numbers of people going
through the world with closed eyes, to
whom the habit of close observation would
be most valuable aid. If the child has
but few years to spend in school, it is of
Ing a knowledge of the rudimentary
branches. he be taught to observe closely.
to think logically and to represent his
seeing and thinking clearly and concisely.
NO other means have yet been found TO
better accomplish the two ends at the
same time than the sciences and manual
training as intended TO be used in the
public schools of Washington.
Miss Brown" seems to think unfayora-
bly, OF the courses of instruction which
teachers pursue The writer does not know
or last winters modelling class nor of the
trip to Dupont Circle. but she does know
that when courses are suggested to the
teachers, the suggestion is usually prefaced
with the provision. IF you need IT." When
We consider how much less is required of
the teachers profession in our country
than In some others. and when We remem-
Der the school is intended TO do the great
est good to the greatest number" we should
be willing to fit ourselves to do the work
which our hands find to do

THE DOMESTIC SERVICE QUESTION


A Practical Effort for It's Solution.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:
L have read with care the articles which
have been written on this most interesting
subject, and 1t seems to me that the real
cause of the difficulty has not yet been sug-
gested. and that 1t is chiefly to be found in
the great change in social conditions which
has taken place in the last quarter of q
century. If the community Is partly re-
sponsible for the trouble, will 1t be posi-
BILE to find remedy by merely bringing
servants from abroad? There is but little
home life now, and many ladies' who would
formerly have devoted their energies to
their household affairs are now engrossed
In professions or other outside business
Servants competent in every respect to car
~ on the work OF the household are ex-
pected and demanded while no opportunity
has been furnished them to fit themselves
for this.
Bad as the situation is. however, 1t would
have been far worse here in Washington IL
not for the work which has been done by a
most admirable charity to which the COM
munity owes large debt of gratitude, viz ::
The Memorial Mission School Of Cookery
and Housework." For fourteen years 1t
has quietly and thoroughly carried on its
work In way which has won for 1t
wen ueSerNeu reputation throughout this
country and in Europe. 1t has awakened a
taste for home work in hundreds of girls,
and has given them a foundation in cook
ing which has fitted them. in a measure to
support themselves The trustees feel now
that they could begin to train girls express
ly for domestic service if they can obtain
the means to do 1t, but the school is de-
pendent on contributions, and is greatly in
need of funds. They have had much ex-
perience, and the reports show that the
money given to them has been expended
wisely and prudently, while the long con-
tinued success of the school affords such an
opportunity as will not occur again for the
establishment Of a larger institution. The
solution of the domestic service question
can only be reached by patience and eff
fort. and they are ready to do their part
hoping that they may soon be able to pur-
chase a building and save rent. Large
sums are given to colleges hospitals and
other institutions, and surely one which is
so closely connected with the welfare OF
every household ought not be neglected.
ance of such schools, and have readily and
generously supported them,-will not some
of our large-hearted citizens supply what
is needed for work which appeals to the
good sense as well as good feeling of every
one?
The officers of the school are: Mrs A. L.
Woodbury., president; Mrs. Hugh McCul-
loch. vice president; Miss Fackermen, and
Miss Katherine Hosmer, secretaries, and
Mrs S. c. Miller treasurer. Contributions
may be sent to Mrs. Miller at 1924 New
Adelaide Payne the superintendent of the
school, at 122S n street northwest, and will
always be gratefully acknowledged.

THE NEW TRANSFER STATION.
An Iron Structure to BE Erected on
the Treasury Sidewalk,

The final plans for the erection of a trans
fer station on the west side of 18th street
opposite g street have received the approval
OF the Commissioners and the work Of con-
struction will begin in a short time
1t has been long story, this struggle of
the railway company to locate a transfer
station. 1t covers period of several
months and the question Of location re-
quired bushel or more of correspondence
to settle it,
1t was the liability of accidents fror, the
congested state of travel at the corner of
18th street and New York avenue that first
suggested the transfer station. The presi-
dent Of the Washington and Georgetown
Railroad Company accordingly made appli-
cation for permission to erect suitable
station on the west side of 18th street
There was some doubt in the mind Of the
engineer Commissioner whether this mode
or transfer was the safest and best Several
plans OF transfer were suggested
one was the location of station on
wheels, in the middle of 18th street Just
north OF the north line of New York ave-
nue.. the same to be removed after cars
stopped running. Another plan was to
transfer from car to car upon meeting
sun another was to have the conductors
issue transfers, but all of these plans were
found impracticable. and the Commission
ers once more returned to the station
scheme. President Dunlop of the railroad
company was called in consultation He
approval or the Commissioners, he said.

prepared for neat station consisting of a

Now for n Pam american Fair.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Inasmuch as Washington failed to secure
the worlds fair, would it be unwise to sug-
gest through your columns a Pan-American
fair for 1900? If there was any fault to be
found with the Chicago exposition, 1t was
the surplus of exhibits, confusing and I'M
satisfactory in the extreme The far west
alone, so prolific in resources, could make
a display interesting and profitable, for
three months at least to say nothing of
the inventions and improvements of the
century, and a fair of less magnitude would
be of greater benefit to Americans than
that held in the Vanished City" L.

William W. Barber. colored man who

game running in his house a few nights
ago when the police visited him. He drew
down a nickel every third game, and for
doing SO he was held liable In the Police
Court yesterday on a charge Of setting UP
a gaming table.
Judge Kimball said that such a place is
calculated to do more harm than many
other places that are considered more
harmful, and imposed a sentence of thirty
days In jail, and a fine of $50 or sixty days
additional.

A Defective Pipe Started the High
School Fire.
AS soon as the fire at the Colored High
school yesterday had been extinguished,
the inspector Of buildings sent one of his
assistants to the building with instructions
to make full report as to the damage and
cause of the fire. The report was handed
to the building inspector in the afternoon,
and stated that the damage amounted to
about $50. The cause of the fire was that
the smoke pipe leading from the furnace to
the chimney became disjointed, allowing
the heat to escape Immediately under a
toist. He says he is clearly of the opin-
ion. however. that the fire could not have
been communicated to the floor in any
way.
Building Inspector Entwisle stated to
Commissioner Parker that he was of the
impre ssion that the pipe became disjointed
by reason OF an accumulation of SCOT Com
missioner Parker suggested that all such
pipes be cleaned at once to prevent q re-
currence Of the affair.

Calculating the Days Lensth.

To the Editor of Tie Evening Star:
An item in The Star Of Monday said that
by simple rule the days length could be
obtained by doubling the time Of the set
ting of the sun, and in the same manner
the nights length could be obtained by
doubling the time of the suns rising. This
would be true only when the sun is running
on schedule time-neither fast nor slow. By
this rule the days length on November
would only be about ten hours, whereas 1t is
really more than half hour longer A better
rule to find the days length would be to
take double the sum of the time of the
suns setting and the time which the sun is
fast, or double the difference of the time
of the SUMS setting and the time which
the sun is slow; and to find the nights
length, take double the sum of the time Of
the suns rising and the time the sun is
fast, or double the difference Of the time Of
the SUMS rising and the time which the
sun is slow. c. L. CLARK.
