Poorly Paid Principals.
Of The Evening Star:

To he Editor Of The Evening Star:
In your Issue of this date the East Wash
ington Citizens Association recommends
an increase of 100 per cent In the pay of
teachers OF the first grade. of 10 per cent in
the salaries of the superintendent and of
90 per cent in the salaries Of the supervis-
ing principals.
There can be no question as to the mad
equacy of the compensation of the first
grade teachers. But the fact must be pat
ent to any intelligent person sufficiently in
terested in our schools to inform himself
by personal observation of their workings
that there Is another class of teachers
whose claims to increased pay should take
precedence of those of the supervising prin-
cipals or superintendent.
The amount Of work devolvlng upon fe-
male principals of eight-room buildings is
out of all proportion to the pay they re-
ceive. To the work of preparing pupils for
admission to the High School Gn itself
sufficient to absorb every minute of the
school day. is added the supervision Of the
building which in its details not only i'm
poses much extra care and responsibility
but causes frequent Interruptions of the
legitimate school work and extends the
length of the school day from one to two
hours. In consequence OF these Interrupt
TONS too, In many instances, these teach
ers find It impossible to cover the curricu-
lum, and are forced 10 employ at their per-
sonal expense special teachers for. certain
branches This is manifestly all wrong
Either the salaries of the principals should
be Increased or assistants should be ap-
pointed by the board of trustees to relieve
them in the supervision of the buildings I'M
der their charge. JUSTICE.

The Moody and Sankey Choir.

The big Moody and Sankey choir of 1900
voices is being regularly rehearsed by Di-
rector Percy S. Foster for another concert,
to occur on December 8 in Convention Hall.
The last rehearsal was a great success the
choir never having sung better The sing
ers nearly filled the large auditorium of the
First Baptist Church.
The next rehearsal takes place tomorrow
evening at I 80 o'clock in the Mount Vernon
Place NJ. T.. Church. northeast corner Of
9th and X streets northwest.
This meeting is not one for the public, and
It will be necessary for all singers and
members of the orchestra to wear their old
Moody choir tickets.
Great pressure has been brought to bear
by the singers to induce Director Foster to
introduce some finer music in connection
with the old favorites in Gospel hymns
He has, therefore, consented, and will In
troduce at the next rehearsal several excel
lent anthems for use at the concert. This
will no doubt materially add to the interest
of the choir me nbers themselves, as well as
the attractiveness Of the program 1t is
expected that Mr.. f. II. Jacobs of Chicago
will be one of the soloists. and already a
great success seems assured.
