AT PROVIDENCE.

We have four high schools in Provi-
dence. Three of these are together
and quite centrally located all on the
west side Of the river. In obedience to
a public demand. the last high school
built and which will be open in Sep
TENDER, is on the east side of the riv-
er. This win be both classical and Eng
fish, and for the accommodation of the
pupils living in that part of the city.
Owing to the want of accommodations
some high school pupils have been
placed in grammar schools. This has
not however, been for the accOmmo-
dation of the pupils, but simply because
of the want of room in the high schools.
The new high school to be opened next
fall will take pupils two years younger
than the other schools, and this for the
purpose Of giving them an earlier start
in French and Latin. 1t is proposed to
have in the new high school a five
years Latin course instead of four, as
in the old high schools, and to begin
French two years before the compile
ton of the present grammar school
course.
AS 1 understand it. when the new
high school is open next fall, all the
pupils taking high school work viii be
placed in the high school buildings. l
think our policy hereafter win be, as
far as high school accommodations are
required to build high schools in diff
ferent portions of the city, as it is felt
to be more or less of a hardship to send
children a long distance to the high
school.

AT BOSTON.

The question of locating the Boston
high schools close together or in diff
ferent parts of the city never came up
for discussion or settlement. so that
the points pro and con, which might
have been involved i'll such a settle
ment, have never been considered. The
reason for this is that Boston is made
up of the old city proper plus a nun

bury, Dorchester, Charlestown, Brigh
ton and West RoXburY; where they had
high schools at the time of their an
nexation to Boston; and those high
schools were not inteTfered with by
annexation. Indeed, some Of the nut
inequalities made it a condition OF their
acceptance of annexation that their
high schools should he preserved.
Since annexation times, the city has
established one suburban high school in
East Boston, which has been in oper-
alton about twenty years, and the
school board has recently voted to es-
tablish another high school in South
Boston. The plans for the building to
be used by this school are now in
course Of preparation. The suburban
schools have been growing steadily for
the last twenty years, and have now
reached a point where they need large
modern buildings for their accommo-
dation.

AT MINNEAPOLIS

The school affairs Of Minneapolis are
Inder the direction of a board of edu-
alton elected by the people. Several
years ago Minneapolis built the first
nigh school in the centre of the west
ide-thdt is, west of the Mississippi
liver, which runs directly through the
eity, as YOU viii recall. About five
sears ago, I think, it was evident that
more high schools must be built. With
me accord, it was voted to distribute
he new buildings SO as to accom-
nodate all parts, and build up in each
part Of the city a centre that would
provide equal facilities for all. It was
"egarded at once by the board and by
he taxpayers as the sensible and
right thing TO do. The city has in five
years built three additional high
schools, the centre one standing for
the west side, and the others being
the North Side high school, the South
Side high school and the East Side
high school. These buildings are about
two miles apart, and the system is en-
drely satisfactory so far as any pub
lie statement is concerned. I do not
see on what ground it could be
claimed that the expense is increased
by distribution, but you know we take
pride in our schools, and expense is
not allowed to stand in the way of
any reasonable development.

be secured, to prevent mass teaching

ordinarily to be pitied, The limit of
efficiency is ordinarily to be found
somewhere between 500 and 500 pupils.
When it becomes necessary to have
more than one school, it is certainly
advisable to so locate the schools as to

accommodate the people. BY reducing
the expense and difficulty of travel,
you naturally increase the enrolment.
1t is, Of course, desirable to induce as
many boys and girls as possible to take
high school course, hence the aim
should be to make attendance upon the
high school as easy as is consistent
with good work. 1 have no figures at
hand, but in both st. Paul and Min
neapolis, in which cities the high school
expansion has been very considerable,
the location of the schools in different
parts of the city increased the enroll
ment very greatly.
In case an insufficient number of pu-
pills can be obtained to start fun high
schools at once, it may be desirable to
begin with the lower classes and devel-
op full schools as rapidly as possible.
If the number of students passing
through the lower classes is too small
to warrant the organization Of the up
per class, they could at first be sent
to a central school for the work of the
latter years, but my experience leads
me to assert without hesitation that
the establishment of full high schools
will follow very rapidly

AT CHICAGO.

The high school system of Chicago
is the growth Of many years At first
there was one central high school AT
ter it increased beyond the capacity
of the main buildings, branches We're
established in the remoter sections of
the city to accommodate the pupils
nearer their homes. We found that an
increased percentage Of those who grad
uate from the grammar schools immedi-
ately entered the branch high schools,
because of their accessibility. The
children of the poor people who could
not afford to pay car fare to go to the
central school, made use of the high
school nearer home. Within the last
four years two additional high schools
have been established in sections of the
city which were so remote from a high
school that it was necessary for the
children to pay car fare in order to
reach it, and the same results fol-
lowed. The children of the poor attend
the schools. The per cent of the whole
number of pupils enrolled in the high
schools has increased, for 1887 81 per
cent and for 1897 4 Il per cent.

upon it. We have one large high school
for girls, the attendance Of which is
nearly 2400. We have one large high
school for boys with an attendance
last year of 1164. This building is now
being enlarged so as to accommodate
about 1000 pupils. We have also two
high manual training schools with an
attendance respectively of 4S0 and $50

in our city that hereafter instead Of
enlarging the present high schools,
smaller high schools should be estab-

by forces inside the board of school
commissioners and not in the least by
any pedagogic considerations. Each

We have three high schools and have

high school pupils, and our city is

of the reasons are local, viz: those re-

MARTIN At WINCHESTER.
Ills Comments ON the Mismanaae-
meDt of Our War.

WINCHESTER, VA, September s.
(Special.)-The political campaign opened
here last night in the courthouse hall,
with speeches by United States Senator
Thomas S. Martin and Congressman
James Hay, Of the Seventh District.
Senator Martin began by saying that ne
with nearly every other Democrat, OPP
posed the war until the President called
upon Congress to act, every other means
used for peace having failed. Then he
voted for war, but now he did not care
TO share in the honor on account OF IT.
The disgraceful events and the misman-
agement which have caused so much
suffering and death among our soldiers,
and the unjust war-revenue bill are the
cause Of his waving claim 10 any glory
in having voted for the measure.
The Senator favored the annexation Cf
Cuba and Porto Rico but opposed the ac-
quisition OF the Philippines. In criticising
the administration. he laid the blame for
the Encouragement Of the war on the
War Department severely denOuncing
the treatment of soldiers by this branch
ef the government, and commenting sl
the lack of medical attention they were
receiving.
Senator Martin quoted from an inter-
view he had with Surgeon General Stern
berg. who said that over $500 reputable
physicians had offered their services.
which were declined by the War Depart
ment.
IT sought to burden the poor by taxing
nearly every commodity and relieving
the rich.
Senator Martin will be opposed for
United states Senator by General Fitz-
hugh Lee. Congressman Hay has no OPP
ponent, as the Republican Congressional
Convention decided not to put candidate
in the field.
