PUBLIC SCHOOL OPENING.
Increased Number of Pupils Anticipate
ed Despite the EAcIusiOn Act.


The public schools of the District will
open Monday, September IS, and in
creased number of pupils is naturally ex-
pected, Notwithstanding a certain provi.s-
ion of the District appropriation act APP
proved March 3, 1899, which, if enforced
will prevent quite number of children
from re-entering the local public schools.
This provision of the act relates to those
children who reside outside the District,
or whose parents do not reside or are not
engaged in business or public duties there
in. 1t is believed that between three and
four hundred children who last year at
tended the District public schools will be
p1 Ohibited by this provision of the law
from re-entering the schools next month.
The act however, provides further that
such pupils may be admitted to and taught
in the pubic schools of the District on
payment of such an amount, to be fixed by
the board of school trustees, with the APP
prevail of the District Commissioners, as
will cover the expense of their tuition and
cost of text books and school supplies used
by them All such payments must be paid
into the treasury of the United States. one
half TO b. credited to the District and one
half to he United States.
The great majority of these outside pu-
pills reside, of course, in adjacent Maryland
and Virginia sections, and many of them
are said to be children of parents unable
to pay for their tuition Therefore, it is
believed that an enforcement of the law
will force these children to attend the
schools of their respective states
The attention of the board of school
trustees of the District will be formally in
Vited by the Commissioners to the act in
question, when il is understood that the
board will instruct the school officials TO
enforce the law. 1t is expected that the
trustees Will promptly ascertain the cost
Of tuition and other incidental expenses
connected with the teaching of the Grill
dren, so that those outside the District de-
string to enter the local public schools
may he informed as to the amount of The
payment required to be made to enable
them to take advantage of instruction in
the District schools.
The children residing outside the District
who last year attended the local public
schools are said to have been represented
in about all of the various grades, from
the high schools down, although it is nm
derstood that majority of these children
attended the schools in the county dis
tricts adjacent to the District line. Never
theiess, it is said to be a fact that very
many of these outside pupils attended
schools in the city, reaching here on he
early morning trains, suburban cars and
boats. 1t is also stated that not a few of
these pupils are children of parents we'll
able to pay for their tuition, but who de-
sire that they shall have the advantages
the District public schools offer. There
fore, it is believed that no small number Of
the outside pupils will remain in the local
schools.
