gress. Representative Stevens, who is
a very clever political organizer, and
who fears the effect that the passage
of a subsidy bill, unless fair to all
sides, would have on Republican pros
poets IN the coming campaign in the
middle West, has framed several
amendments, two of them to prevent
combination of ships receiving sub
sidy, or of shipbuilding firms, which
will be pressed in connection With the
bill. The large Philadelphia shipping
firms will not listen to such amend
ments. which undoubtedly means that
the bill cannot pass. The fight has
been one of the most bitter that has
occurred in a House committee since
the memorable fights in the House
committee on banking and currency of
the last Congress.
The spring season is almost come in
Washington and this is the time when
visitors from the colder northern
climates often arrive in Washington.
especially during the Easter season.
That season is especially in favor with
the school teachers of the North who
have few days of rest before the
long hard term of school that ends in
June. Mr.. Herbert y. Gardner. the
principal of the academy at Patten
Me. is one of the earliest of these
arriving teachers, this year. He has
been here several days looking over
the public school system Of Washing
ton, which is admitted to be one of the
best school systems in the world He
is the guest of Mr.. II. L. Springer.
The method of teaching children IN
the lower grades 0f the public schools
in Washington differs materially from
the old method that boys ana girls fol-
low in Maine. The work is done al
most entirely by object lessons and
there is little of the old-fashioned
spelling and learning IF the y Il IS.
Recently there has been quite a con-
troversy in the city over the efficacy
of this method ana a subcommittee
of the Senate is now investigating tho
results to ascertain whether they :r"
as good as would have been acquired
under thr old-fashioncd system. The
verdict seems to be that the new ;yS-
TEN is infinitely better.
