LICENSING THE GUIDES.
Proposition to Give Them a Legal
Status and Protection.

Since city guides have come to be re-
garded as almost "a necessity here, steps
are being taken TO place them ON a better
footing and to legaliZe and regulate the
business they are engaged in.
Exclusive of the corps OF Capitol building
guides, appointed by officials of the House
and Senate, il is estima ted that there are
about twenty men, who earn a living by
showing strangers about the city and
vicinity. Nearly all Of these men are
honest. reliable, and fully respectable, but
As in all other professions, black sheep
will creep into the flock.
In order TO correct this abuse one of the
propositions is TO license all members Of
the craft, issue official badges to them and
make them an auxiliary of the police force.
In this manner, it is said unworthy per-
sons will he kept out OF the business and
the city guides can organize and adopt d
uniform rate OF charges, and also he
protected in their calling
Should these steps he taken the only two
public edifices now closed to the guides,
the National Museum and Washing gton
Monument, would no doubt be opened to
them and their patrons, and other benefits
would accrue to these industrious workers.
ITO do our work as it should be done"
said veteran guide Last night, requires
much study and nese4sch. We have to he
posted thoroughly as to the dimensions
and history of public structures and dreserya-
tlons, know all about the rare plants in the
botanical garden, the main features in the
museums, be familiar with public men and
measures, current events, and he BILE to
answer promptly any question as to Con
greSslonal or governmental methods of
procedure, qndmany otherthings ofinterest
In addition we have to know how to
show stranger about the city and its
surroundi ngs in the most expeditions
manner. The position Of a city guide is
no sinecure, ! assure you, and we doubly
earn every penny we receive -
