schools Of this city Her remarks were
chiefly c0nmeudatory-
Gen. William A Birney. who has sey-
eraI times been n trustee OF the public
schools. said that he believed the plan to
be top-hesyy. He advised that more at
teuti1n be paid 20 the primary grades and
less 10 the high schools. and said that he
believed il TO be q mistake for the schools
of the District Of Columbia to prepare
pspils for college. He recommended that
instead an attempt should be made TO
give more thorough business education.
A. r Severn. Chairman of the School
Committee Of the North Capitol and Eek
ington Citizens Association criticised the
custom that he said is DCw followed Of
teaching ornamental subjects. and said
that he believed such subjects as music,
drawing, etc, are given TOO much atten-
ton In tAe lower grades. Mr. Severn COM
mended the system of manual training,
and said that if time is left after the more
necessary subjects have been taught some
should be given TO music and drawing. He
said that the subject OF public instruction
has been taken up by the Citizens AssO-
citation Of which he is a member and that
as result they advise a greater use Of
books and that greater attention be
paid to practical subjects.
Andrew b. DuvalI was called upon by
Senator Stewart and spoke OF his k.fowl
edge Of the school system IS derived from
its benefits to his five children His re-
marks were commendatory and were
chiefly devoted TO an explanation of the
education his own children have acquired
which he said is entirely satisfactory TO
him Mr.. DuvaIl opposed Jhe suggestion
that because the school system is top
heavy the fault should be corrected by
cutting down the top (the high schools.
and said that instead the bottom (the
primary schOOls) should be built up. He
advocated the continued support Of high
schools. which should be preparatory for
college. Other speakers were Mesdames
Mary Church. Terrell and Clara b. Colby.
their remarks being chiefly commendatory.
At 1880 O'Clock the hearing was closed,
Senator Stewart announcing that others.
who desire to submit their opinions TO the
committee may do so in writing
