ANOTHER ROAD.
Washington and University Railroad
and Its Route.


A brand-new street railroad corporation
was created by the act which was signed
last week by the President giving corporate
existence to the Washington and Univer-
sity Railroad Company. The company is
authorized to build road to be operated by
cable. electric or other mechanical power
other than steam power from a point on
the western side of the Tenleytown road,
where the street known as Quincy street in
the map Of street extension crosses, west
ward along Quincy street to the grounds of
the American University, and thence north
and west to the bounds of the District and
the American University Park.
One of the incorporators, Mr.. ID. d. Stone,
told Star reporter today that IL was the
purpose to organize under this act at an
early day, and to make arrangements for
the construction of the road 1t is likely
that some agreement will be made with the
Tenleytown Railroad Company, both as To
traff1c and the m ans of operating the road.
1t is thought by some that as the new
road will be a connecting one with the
Tenieytown railroad ii can afford an oD-
portunity OF demonstrating the practical
Workings OF the law which authorizes roads
thus connecting to make trackage arrange
ments Thers are now number of in
stances of connecting roads in and about
the city, but In no case Is a trackage agree
ment In force. The Importance of this law
especially to the suburban roads and per-
EaPs stiil more so to suburban residents
and property holders. is readily recognized
wnen II Is seen that 1t means practically
the extension of the city street railroad
system to the suburbs, and will enable the
public to travel from the center of the city
out into the suburbs without a change OF
cars and for one fare. IL is thought likely
That IN the near future the trackage law

An Enjoyable Afternoon Spent and
Several Interesting Addresses
Listened to.

The members of the National Educational
Association win doubtless remember among
their most pleasant recollections of the
great convention of 1898 inNWashington the
warm hospitality and courteous attention
shown them by the National Geographic
Society. The geographic exhibition in prog
ress at the Central High School, under the
direction of the society, has been a most
popular attraction, well as an instruct
i've feature of rare value. Saturday after
noon the society took a number of the edu-
Gators out of town and entertained them
at one of the field meetings for which 1t is
famous. The meeting was held in the
gorge just beneath the bridge, and it was
pleasantly remarked that as the opening
session of the convention was held under
the largest roof in the world supported
solely on outside Walls-C0nyention HALT

the effect of climate in such development
and Prof. Nc Gee described how time had
acted as a factor in the same direction.
Miss Louise Connolly of the Busin IS
High School gave an interesting review of
the obstacles which confront a teacher in
teaching geography, her subject being 'Ge-
ographic Object-Teaching in the Common
Schools" She humorously described the
troubles she had experienced when she first
came here, and closed with telling what in
valuable assistance had been given her by
the federal officials in extending to her IA
cilities for her work.
Mr.. White of California expressed the
thanks of the teachers to the Geographic
Society and Prof. MCGEE, and the latter in
turn thanked the teachers for coming. and
while referring in glowing terms to the
present unity of cur great republic, remind
ed the teachers that its condition in an
other generation was in their hands, and
their pupils of today would be the leaders
in the great days to come.
Altogether the afternoon was most en-
joyable one for all concerned.
