ADDITIONAL BUILDINGS,
superintendent Cook Asks for In
crease i'm school Facilities.

In letter 10 the District Commissioners
Mr.. G. F. T. Cook, superintendent of the
| colored public schools, has submitted
| statement showing the necessity for the
| erection of three eight-room school build
| ngs in the ninth, tenth and eleventh divi-
sions. He asks that the three schools be
| placed in the estimates for the coming fis-
! cal year.
| One of these new buildings, Mr.. Cook
states. is needed to relieve the Briggs build
ing, in which there are twelve schools in
eight rooms.
This overcrowding." says Mr. Cook, "re-
quireS that all schools below the fifth grade
have only halliday occupancy of the school
room. The Stevens school, on 21st street
between X and l. streets is the next near
est building. 1t has in its eighteen rooms
twenty-five schools, and even if this were
not the fact, ii is too far removed from the
locality in which the pressure exists to re-
tain in the schools pupils transferred to it.
The new eight-room school for the ninth
division should be located at some point
within the space bounded by F and l. and
24th and 9th streets northwest
I'm the tenth division all third-grade
schools. except those located in the Garnet
and Patterson buildings, have been reduced
to half time, and at the Cook and Slater
buildings it has been found necessary to re-
duce even the fourth grades to half time.
The new eight-room building fer this divi-
the following boundaries: NJ and o and
North Capitol streets northwest, prefer
ably near North Capitol and NJ streets. The
location of this building could afford relief
to the overcrowded buildings and accessible
accommodation to many of the school
population that have not yet been en-
rolled on the schools.
'In the Randall building. 1st and I
streets southwest, eleventh division there
are ten school rooms, of which two
basement rooms, and both of them very
poorly ventilated. The number of schools
located in these ten rooms is sixteen. To
Accommodate them six rooms used by
twelve schools. among which are those of
fourth and third grades. The remaining
three school buildings in South Washing
ton have each more schools than school
rooms, and all schools in them below the
third grade, and even the third grade in
the Bell building, have half-day occupancy
of the school room. The new school build
ing for this division should be located at
some point between I'd and South Capitol.

time. it has had part in the training of
missionaries. and this aim mas been still
further developed in the establishment OF
training houses in New York and Philadel
phia. in which 1t has not been without in
fluence.
1t has yearly sent to the families of mis-
sionaries and to mission schools and sta
tions missionary boxes. Its branches have
aided materially in the education of the
children of missionaries. Besides these
things, 1t pays insurance dues on tic lives

with which it opens. At this time Is made
a united offering from all the diocesan
branches, including gift from all the pa

boxes for this united Offering are dfstrib-
uted widely throughout the auxiliary dur

JAPANESE STUDENT ORDAINED
Interesting Ceremony at st. Paul's y.
E. Church Yesterday.

The ordination of a Japanese candidate
for orders, the anniversary meeting of the
American Church Missionary Society and
| the sermon of the bishop of California be-
fore the board of missions were the princi-
pal events which interested the members
of the Episcopal convention in the city yes
| terday. There were also in all the churches
of that denomination special services by a
bishop or prominent divine, as previously
announced in The Star.
The ordination of John Kochnnera
Ochiai. japanese, a deacon occurred
in the morning at St Pauls Church. 23d
street. The ceremony was performed by
Right Rev. W. E. McLaren, D. D.. bishop
of Chicago, in which city Mr. Ochiai has
been living during the past five years, and
Rev. w. D. Gold. D. D.. dean of the West
ern Theological Seminary at Chicago pre-
sented the candidate.
Among those present besides the officiat-
ing bishop and priests were Bishop McKim
OF Toxic, a japanese naval attache Mr.
Osuga, who is studying educational prob
lens in this country, and Nine Watanabe
and Miss Tsuda. These two Japanese la
dies are professors in the Peeress School

bia College, New York city, and then he

The American Church Missionary Society
anniversary meeting was held in Epiphany
Church at pm. yesterday. The speakers
We're Bishop Dudley of Kentucky, Rev. j.
G. Meem, missionary to Brazil and Gen
wager SWayne. president of the society
The societys WORK was explained by
Bishop Dudley who said:
The American Missionary Society exists
in the church today, not in any sense as an
opponent of the board of missions but as
an auxiliary to that body. 1t could not go
out of existence even were it desirable for
it to do so, because it holds large sums in
trust, and these trust funds could not be
turned over to any one else. But it is far
from desirable for the society to cease to
exist. 1t is the exponent of the voluntary
principle of giving, for which there is album
dant authority in the Bible. The interest in
missions is in proportion to the knowledge
which people have of the work that is be-
ing done, and of those who are doing it,
They desire to give to concrete object not
to something that is to them an abstrac-
ton. They desire to know just what is
done with the money that they contribute
and they wish to indicate how that money
is to be expended"
Rev. DR.. Randolph II. McKim announced
that the offering would be for the benefit of
the missions in Brazil.
