MY Dear sir: Your letter is duly at

there can be but one reply on the part Of
the trustees and officials in charge of the
public schools of the District to the inquiry
whether or not they approve of the pro-
posed Public School Edition of The Times
THE more generally and the more thor
ougbly the schools are understood the more
highly what ever is good in them will be ap-
preciated with a CORES ponding increase in
their usefulness, and the more easily what
ever defects may exist can be ascertained
and remedied.
Every facility, am sure. will be ae-
corded you for obtaining the fullest and
most accurate information concerning the
schools in all their features, and for making
the proposed edition of your paper de-
voted to that's inject authentic and complete.
The enterprise and public spirit of The
Times in the matter are to be commended,
and will undoubtedly prove public ben
eft. Yours verytruly,

FOR THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Special Edition of THE Times"
to Be Devoted to Them.
MOST UNIQUE IN JOURNALISM
Indorsed by Prominent Men, who
Believe That 1t WIN Make Our
School System Better Understood,
and So Increase It's Field of Use
fulness-Prizes for Pupils.

AS stated editorially y,sgefday, there
will be published on or about the 18th of
June next a special edition of The Times
devoted exclusively to the public schools
of the District OF Columbia.
1t will be a souvenir edition, worthy of
preservation by every one interested
in the development of the public school
system. which is a very large part of the
backbone of good American citizenship.
Especially will it be worthy of preserva-
tion by every teacher, pupil, parent or
guardian of pupil, alumnus and those in
the District and out of it who have bene-
fitted by the local schools.
1t will be as unique in the history of
journalism as it has been original in con-
ception.
1t will be of mammoth prop portions
and will be generously aud appropriately
illustrated
1t will be as complete in detail and as
accurate in its information as it is
possible to make it.
Its primary object win be TO make the
schools better known to the end that
the great work therein accomplished may
be more thoroughly appreciated, and
that Congress may be informed by this
knowledge to reverse the policy of mig
gardiness and neglect 1owards the schools
which has often characterized it of late
years.
I. IS purposed in this special souvenir edi
ton to:
Illustrate the progress which Washing
ton has made as an educational center; to
Trace the evolution of the public school
system in this city; to
Show the wonderful development of the
schools in recent years, even under many
adverse circumstances: to
Give information concerning the work in
all the school buildings from the lowest
grade to the highest stage OF advancement
in the High Schools; TO
Tell what has been done for the advance
ment of usefulness in our young women by
the sewing classes; to
Point out the blessings that are being
prepared for the race by the operations of
the cooking schools; TO
Extensively dwell on the great good that
is being accomplished By the admirable sys-
tenn OF manual training; and i'll every way
to
Prove that the public schools of the Dis
trict of Columbia, whatever their imper-
fections, are second to none in the world.
In addition to the foregoing, special fea-
lures of absorbing interest will round out
one of the best educational publications ever
issued.

Commissioner Ross, who war for many
years an earnest member OF the beard of
school trustees, aud its president for
long time, and W no as a Commissio ioneT OF the
District has never missed an opportunity
to advance the interests Of the schools,
writes.
MY Dear Sir: I have your esteemed
favor OF May % advising me OF the purpose
of The Times with regard to the publication
of special edition giving information with
reference TO the public school system of
the District of Columbia.
Il am very glad the proprietor of The
Times deems This important subject worthy
OF such an edition. Among the many
features OF municipal interest in the Dis
trict of Columbia there is 40 ore which is
OF more farreaching Importance than that
which relates to tie public schools
'TneyaTe acquiring reputation through =
out the United States, which is a source of
pride to our people, and which, | believe,
is tending to induce many desirable citi-
zeBs TO make Washington their place of
reside nee.
lone reason for the excellence of the
schools in the District is, in my Judgment,
due to the fact that they are not only well
managed by efficient sUpeTintendents and
by a prog gressSive school board, but also
because of the fact that the little army
of teachers hold their places under and by
virtue of the merit system.
Teachers are selected first from the
list of Normal School graduates, in the
order OF their standing in that class. Ger
tificate holders are appointed in the order
of their excellence upon the examination
and the teacher who is competent and
worthy is not likely to be disturbed in a
tenure of position.
This is the civil service system ap-
piled to the schools, and it came to its full
fruition during the early term of Mr.. j. j.
Darlington, as trustee of the public
schools, and has had the unqualified
support and endorsement of all of his
associates since that date.
This is but one feature Of the public
schools which deserves to be known
lam confident that every one connected
with the public school system viii gladly
impart to you any information which you
may desire to the end that your edition
may be an unqualified success. With SIN
ceTe respect, very truly yours

by the Grand Army OF the Republic, and
closely allied with and preceding the
beautiful services of Decoration Day, the
members of the order yesterday attended
divine services specially designed for
commemoration of the sacrifices made by
the Union heroes, living and dead. They

stalks and husks are fed with the grain and
all are eaten. Nor is much wasted in the
feeding Of ordinary fodder The largest
waste is in stubble and dry stalks and husks.
Investigation at the government experiment

be nutritious. The stubble, which is al
most invariably plowed under for the next
planting, stands next in importance to husks
In nutrition. An acre of stubble will yield
about 800 pounds Of digestible, nutritious
matter. When cut or ground up 1t is eagerly
eaten by cattle, as are tops, husks, leaves,

probably much sooner than most people
suppose, when all this portion of the corn
crop, now generally wasted, will have a
market value. The buyer will grind it up
into feed and make handsome profit out
Of the business. The farmer will have a
stubble and stalk grinder, as well as corn
planter or shelter. What he needs Of the
stubble and stalks for his own use he will
put into the grinder. The surplus he will

To the Young Democracy of the State,

Young Men of Maryland The Young
Mems Democratic Association OF Baltimore
City, with membership OF over 5, 900 young
men, men who are not at the present time
or prospectively officeholders or candidates
for office, but who are united in a perma-
nent organization TO secure the continued
ascendency of Democratic principles of
government and administration in the State
of Maryland, the dissemination of Demo
cratic doctrines among other young men OF
the State, fairness and honesty in elections,
and the nomination of competent and proper
candidates for all offices, issue this public
letter.
The young men control the destiny Of
this State and Nation, and to you we ap-
peal First, to carefully canvass the polit-
ical situation before you exercise your suf-
frage; second, TO vote your honest convic-
lions third, to do all in your power to make
this campaign a clean, clear cut fight and
the coming election true reflection of the
sentiment of the people.
Shall the Democratic party continue To
enact and execute our laws, or shall the Re-
publican party be allowed to assume con-
troll of this State2
The nominees OF the Democratic and Re
publican parties are all honorable men and
| good citizens, but stream cannot rise above
servants, if elected, connot be better than
their party.
/. The Republican party believes In and
formerly maintained Federal supervision
and control of elections.
g. In 1876 it stole from the people of this
Nation the most honored position we can
bestow on any man, when it made Ruther-
ford B. Hayes President of these United
States, instead of that honored and beloved
Statesman, Samuel J. Tilden, who was the
choice of the people.
g. 1t endeavored to secure the passage and
adoption of that iniquitous law known as
the Force Bill"
The Republican party, posing as reform
party, last year in the State OF New York,
enacted law known as the "Civil Rights
Bill" which endeavored to place the negro
on an equal social footing with our mothers
and sisters, and within one week after the
passage OF this law the negroes of New
York City were demanding accommodation
at the best hotels and the privilege of eat
ing at the same table with "their white
brethren"
r he people of Maryland do not want to
and will not surrender this State TO pc.
liticai party which in other States has es-
tablshed mixed schools, as for example New
Jersey.
We are now engaged in political battle
which will decide Maryland's place in the
N atIonal contest of 1896.
On the fifth of November the Democratic
hosts OF this State will achieve grand and
glorious victory.
Young men, will you share the victory 7
Organize, stand firm, talk and reason with
your friends. The battle may be hot, but
