well as Yish it for the child?
The greatest fortune any mother can
bestow on her child is healthy body
and a happy mind, and with this great
fortune every mother may endow the
child if she will. The ehild's stock of
health is what the mother supplies. The
weak and worried woman has very
slender stock of health to bestow on
the baby.

More than 10000 school children of the
District are interested in the fact that the
public schools will begin their sessions
next Monday morning at o'clock. After
a vacation of three months, teachers and
pupils will resume their educational work.
For month or more past the school
authorities have been making ready for
the beginning of the session, and the Of
flee CT the superintendent of schools has
been the scene of much hard labor. Every
thing is as nearly ready for the resumption
as it is possible to make it at this time.
1t is expected that there will be ma
terial increase in the attendance this year
over that of last, although no overcrowd-
ing is anticipated except possibly in GER
tain sections where it was planned to have
new schools ready for use which, owing to
the rise in the cost of building materials,
the District Commissioners were unable
to complete. The new building at Rose
dale and the one at the corner OF South
Carolina Avenue and Second Street, which
were expected to have been completed and
ready for occupancy, are not finished, and
ii is probable that it will be necessary 10
hold halliday sessions for the pupils OF the
lower grades. This practice will be fol-
lowed until the schools in question can
be completed. Several hundred Of the pu-
pills whose homes are outside OF the Dis
trict and whose parents are not engaged in
business in the District will be barred
from entrance into the schools here un!ess
they pay the tuition prescribed by the Dis
trict Commissioners. The District bill
passed at the last session OF Congress con-
tanned the provision shutting out the chill
dren of those who do not live within or are
not engaged in business in the District,
and gives the Commissioners the power to
fix the rate of tuition.
At the meeting of the Board of School
Trustees, held Tuesday at the Franklin, a
scale of prices for tuition affecting those
named in the law was submitted to the
Commissioners.

The Schedule of Fees.

The schedule fixes the tuition for each
pupil for the different grades as follows:
High School, $40; Eighth Grade, $50; Sew
enth Grade, s25; Sixth Grade, s23; Fifth
Grade, $40; Fourth Grade, $40 Third Grade,
Sl7; Second Grade, SIG; First Grade, $15.
In making the estimate, the cost OF the
books furnished, the cost of heating and
maintaining the school building without
reference 10 the expense of making re-
pairs and the cost OF instruction were con-
sidered and the rate fixed accordingly. 1t
is probable that the Commissioners will
adopt the schedule as submitted by the
board without change.
A question of much importance as to
who Will be considered as being in bust
ness in the District remains for the Com
missioners to determine. The school oih-
cials hold that a laborer employed in the
District, although he may reside outside,
is entitled 10 send his children 10 the pub
lie schools without the payment OF a tul-
ton fee, but this may not be the opinion
OF the Commissioners.
Ii is thought that the new law will re-
duce the attendance by at least 200 pupils
The high school will be principally affect
ed as there were last year large number
of people whose homes are in Virginia o.
Maryland Last yeear there were between
three and four hundred students In ths
public schools living outside the District
One of the most important additions t.
the school facilities this year viii be thc
opening of six new kindergartens. The
Increase in the number was recommends
a year ago by the school board and the
recommendation was approved by Cen
gress when il passed the District bi al
the last session. Owing 10 the de-ay In thf
arrival of necessary furniture from New
York the opening OF the new kindergar-
tens will of necessity be postponed several
days. A hurry order has beea sent fo. the
fixtures. and Assistant Superintendent B.
W. Murch stated TO a Times reporter today
that it will probably arrive here so that
not more than three or four days delay
at the opening will be necessary.
The evening times., 1899-09-14
The New Kindergartens.

The new kindergartens will be located in
the following places: One at Masonic Hall,
in Anaccstia; one at the Gales School.
Massachusetts, Avenue and First Street
northwest; one at the Harrison School, on
Thirteenth Street, between and
w Streets northwest; one at the
Toner School, Twenty third and f
Streets northwest; one at the
jefferson School, at the corner of Sixth
and D Streets southwest, and one at the
Henry School, on P Street between Sixth
and Seventh Streets northwest. The in
creased number of schools Of this kind
makes total of sixteen kindergartens for
white children and eleven for colored.
improvements have been made in many
of the public school buildings. The plumb
ing in number of schools has been en-
tirely renewed and 5000 has been ex-
pended for this purpose. Out of an appro-
priation OF $4,000 for improvements $780,
900 has been expended, leaving a sum OF
$40, 600 available as ali emergency fund.
The standard of the course of study has
been raised in several instances. Green's
English History will be studied in the
eighth grades in addition to the history
subiects-civil governmeA and United
States history are already taught. Higher
arithmetic and geography have been made
fifth grade subjects. Until this year they
were studied by the sixth grade.
Few Changes in Teachers.
But few changes have been made in the
corps of teachers. However, there will be
four new teachers in the high schools. B.
w. Murch, who was appointed toward the
close of the last school year, assistant su-
perintendent of public schools TO relieve
Superintendent Powell of some of the ar
duous duties connected with his position,
assumed the duties of his Office on July !
last and is now actively engaged in the
performance of his duties. Mr.. Murch, be-
fore his elevation, was the principal of one
of the Georgetown grammar schools. He
will take charge of the financial manage
ment of the school system and by so doing
give Mr.. Powell a greater opportunity to
perform a superintendent's work.

MISS HASLAM BURIED.

Funeral Services This Afternoon-Tn.
'ermeht at Congressional Cemetery,
Funeral services over the remains of
Miss Elsie Haslam, the unfortunate voune
woman who committed suicide by inhalfne
Illuminating gas at the residence of Mrs.
Julla Hines, $50 18th street northwest, Sat
lrday morning, were held this afternoon
at O'Clock at the home of Mr. Joseph
Hasiam, the father of the girl, who resides
at Zol3 street northwest. The interment
was at Congressional cemetery
II is stated that druggist who has an
establishment in the northwestern section
of the city was at one time engaged to
the deceased girl and that he, in a meas
ure, was responsible for her being out of
employment. From what can be learned
it appears that the man in the case re-
ceived money from Miss Haslam with
which to start in business, promising to
marry her as soon as he should become
established. The girl was generous enough
to advance him consdera BILE funds but he
tailed to keep his agreement, and this fact
operated to make her act in an eccentric
manner for some time past 1t is said she
made scene outside of his store some
time ago. when 1t is supposed she i'm
pcrtuned him to return some of her money.
Since that time the girl had attack of
typhoid fever and many of her friends at
tribute the subsequent actions that caused
her to appear at times to be out of her
head to the after-effects of that disease.
The body was turned over to the family
Saturday night, after being viewed by
Acting Coroner Glazebrook. A brother,
Charles w Haslam, resides in Georgetown.
A sister, the wife of Mr.. Clarence Thomp-
son, lives in South Washington.

Henry c. Owens contractor, living in

Court by Policeman Dent with driving his
team the wrong side of 18th street
southeast. The evidence given by the Off
Ger was in line with the charge as above
stated.
Mr.. Owens admitted being on the wrong
side of the street, and said it was because

the way. He further asserted that the ar
rest was made because boy in his wagon
had picked up an umbrella on the street.
and when Dent demanded it the boy evinced
some hesitation about giving it up. The
lad, MI Owens said had been told by the
man who had dropped the umbrella from a
