priation was $4,000 The increase, Chair
man Dale of the county commissioners
says, will necessitate additional taxes. At
the same time the expenses of the schools
have increased. The number of pupils is
greater than last year, more teachers are
necessarily employed and in other ways
the expenses are greater.
Superintendent Ashmore says that for the
proper conduct of the schools, it will be
absolutely necessary that a large appro-
prlation be made. He has prepared tab
ulated statement showing the compare
tive cost per pupil to a number of cities
in supporting their schools. To this list
he has added Savannah with a carefully
calculated estimate of what it costs per
pupil to conduct the schools.
The first of the lists was taken as It
stands, with the addition of Savannah,
from the report of the Cleveland, o.,
schools, which, Superintendent Ash
more says, are as well conducted
as the schools of any city whose system
he has investigated. II will be seen that
Cleveland, the city from whose report the
extract Is made, ranks first In the mini
mum cost per pupil of all the cities, ex-
cept Savannah. Savannah is smaller
than any of the Others and 1t is possible
that this fact may account to some ex-
tent for the difference in the cost per
pupil in school maintenance.
However this may be. the fact remains
NHdA the cost per capita is less py a large
per cent of the least cost of any other
of the cities. and it is nearly doubled by
the expense of New York of one pupil for
a year. The cost of education per pupil
based upon total amount paid to teachers
and the average daily attendance for
twelve cities, is as follows: Cleveland,
$l705; Detroit, $19.A; Philadelphia, $50. 50;
Buffalo, $20.76 Cincinnati. $2O72; Kansas
City, S20S6; Portland, Ore, $20.96; Chicago,
$2l72; Boston, $2f5S; New York, 500 n,
and Los Angeles, S22.11, an average OF
S2l67 Savannah shows an average OF
1854
The other table deals with the same
question of relative cost based upon the
current expenses and the total enrolment,
the number belonging In the schools and
the average attendance. The statistics
for the compilation Of this table were
gathered from the reports Of the cities
named. The cost Of education per pupil,
based upon the current expenses, and the
total enrolment, number belonging and
average attendance is about as follows;

very small sum to raise by subscription
in Savannah for so useful an OBJECT and
the committee Will be greatly disappont-
ed IL 1t does not easily raise this sum- Ii
feels that 1t has a right to appeal 70 the
citizens of Savannah, particularly to those
nAeommercial circles, because the Work
ought to have not only the sympathy of
all religious people, but Of all who desire
to aid movement of great practical be-
neficence.
Mr.. S, 3. Adams, president of the so
ciety, is greatly interested In this work.
MIR. Henry d. Stevens who preceded Mr..
Adams as president has devoted much
time and thought to this branch of the
work, and is chairman Of the building
committee The other members of the
building committee are j. p. Williams,

Ice IS the superintendent of the society
during the last four and one-half years,
is also greatly interested in the work.
With the limited accommodations and
resources at its command. the Port Soci-
ETY. has during the last few years, by
good management, made its headquarters
ana sleeping accommodations for sailors
one of the maritime features of the port
to such an extent that it has now become
almost a practical necessity to
the shipping business of the
port. Many masters of vessels
have expressed their decided prefer
ence for the accommodations furnished by
the society for their men, end have in
dorsed the good work that is being done
by the society. The erection Of this build
ing will place the society more prominently
before the public than has hitherto been
the case, and will serve as a constant re-
minder of its work.

the FOrtunatee.
Again the spell of Easter is upon US.
From time immemorial the Easter season
has been hailed by young and old as the
annual festival Of new dress and the
change in the diet of food. This year all
the elements are with Easter. 1t comes
late enough to receive the embellishments
Of nature. The balmy April sunshine, the
early flowers and early vegetables, the
singing birds and the spring chickens, the
young and tender lambs and many other
nice things to serve on the table, and,
withal the springtime freshness that per-
vades everything. Sad is the man who
cannot enter into the Easter spirit, and
unfortunate is the family that is not sup
piled with the good things that are to be
enjoyed to-day-the good things that
came from Logan, the butcher.-ad.

subject at the time the matter was first
brought up, he said, but no amount of
compensation was specified. He offered
to compromise. however, if the city would
make the lots fee simple. If the members
of council were not aware at the time that
the city was trespassng on private prop
erty there was no reason for their ignor-
anee, Mr.. Lowell said, as Mr.. Curtis, the
engineer who laid out the water works
track, was well aware of the fact.
