The Only Urban Summer Resort.

With such cheap rates, it will not be
surprising TO see Norfolk, Richmond, New

move bodily to Baltimore. There is room
for them all here. and Baltimore is one of
the finest summer resorts in the country"
So says The Baltimore American, which
Is always pleasant and generally accurate
Washington Is proud of Its suburbs, Of
which RaltimcIe is one, but it has never yet
claimed that Baltimore, with its narrow
streets and ancient drainage methods and
all the hurry and hustle of a prosperous
business community. could be regarded as
even feeble imitation of a summer re-
sort. The ideal midsummer resting place Is
about forty miles from Baltimore; almost
anywhere within the limits of the District
OF Columbia. Here are the broad avenues
and magnificent shade trees and cool
breeDes and parks almost without number;
past this city glides the historic Potomac
and within our gates are attractions Of
nature and art sufficient to satisfy the hun
griest searchers after those things which
delight the soul. The Norfolk, Richmond
and Newport News people who are looking
for summer resort may come to Wash
ington through Baltimore if they SO desire
but there really isn't any reason why they
may not come by more direct route

AT intervals not widely-separated the peo-
pie of Washington are officially informed
thet they waste vast quantities of Potomac
water: that they deliberately throw away
millions of gallons of the necessary fluid
every year. much 20 their discredit This
information has made its most recent ap-
pearaHre in the annual report of Captain
D u. GaIilar,l. the army engineer officer in
charge of the Washington Aqueduct. This
report has been published in The Star so
the facts are generally known The daily
and hourly consumption of water was
measured on days last month when the
weather was coo! and moist; the demand
for water was therefore less than it would
naturally De during days when heat and
drought prevailed. The amount of water
consumed and wasted IN the fiscal year
ended June 81 last, was, figured down to
individuals. one hundred and seventy-three
gallons per day for every person using Po-
to-rac water In preceding years the
amount has been greater. but the decrease
is too small to satisfy those who carry the
burden Of responsibility as to the city's
water supply. 1t is reasonably claimed
that a per capita consumption of seventy
five gallons should be sufficient for all do
nestic and business purposes; experiences
a supply is ample Here, though, much
more than twice that quantity is used or
wasted. and there are many complaints of
insufficient supply.
II canrot be denied that there Is criminal
waste of water in the District The figures
presented are obstinate. The mea surements
have been fairly taken by competent en-
stneers and are beyond the reach OF any
who may feel like opening up controversy
as to their accuracy. The existence of the
evil must be admitted But 1t need not
continue to exist There are ways of find
fnS out who the people are that waste the
pUbiic water and there is law to punish
those who are convicted of such an offense-
As a matter of fact every official knows
That the great stream Of waste Is in the
government departments, but none Of the
oi1c!ais cares 10 say So Those who have
charge OF the water-supply have little or
nothing to do with its distribution within
the city; for them and their purposes 1t is
enough to declare that local water-users
are wasteful Occasionally We hear Of
some householder in police court, charged
with allowing water 20 run from a spigot
for no particular purpose, and more fire.
quentIy We read of somebody being fined
in wintsr-time for wasting water in an en-
teavor TO prevent a freezeup, but anything
like a serious effort 10 reform the depart

Washingtonians do not care how much
water is used in the departElents-even
was;efuness is Of no concern provided the
balance is sufficient to give the average
householder enough moisture to meet the

or.ably object to being blamed for the sins

viii! undoubtedly be trade-schools Of the
best sort-there Is loud and insistent de-
mand. Hundreds Of boys and girls whose
parents cannot afford to give them high
school course are compelled to lives of
comparative uselessnees because we offer
them no such advantages along the lines of
manual training as are freely given those
who elect to be polished classically. The
system will be lopsided until the boy who
wants to learn trade has at last an equal
opportunity with the boy whose desire is
profession. The fundamental principle of
the public-schools Is equality Of right, and
1t Is this principle which is being advocated
by the trustees in this manual training
proposition.
The idea is not new one At least twice
has the board put itself on record as favor
ing the extension for which 1t asks once
more. Last year the District Commission
ers cut the item out Of the estimates; prior
TO that the appropriations committees Of
Congress neglected to fall into line. This
t1me so 1t Is understood, the trustees are in
earnest They know-as many other citi-
zens must-that the time is full ripe for the
establishment here Of institutions the like
OF which have done marvellous work in other
cities; they see that ignorance, for which
the legislative authorities are largely re-
sponsible, can be lessened and crime conse-
quently decreased by the adoption Of the
methods now advocated by every educator
who is in touch with the people and things
of today.
AS yet. the trustees have not announced
THEIR plan of campaign. Individual members
OF the board have declared themselves and
will doubtless fight valiantIy for a project
that deserves the enthusiastic support of
the entire community. That the District
Commissioners will fail to urge the appro-
priation is not probable; they are aware of
the public sentiment and may be depended
upon, The Star irlagines, to lend their aid
to the altogether desirable proposition.
