ANOTHER VIEW.
Resident Takes Issue With Superin-
tendeht of Street Cleaning.

ten0ent OF street Cleaning.
w. j. Morris of 1914 L street has written
to the District Commissioners taking issue
with Warner Stutler, the superintendent of
street cleaning, in regard to the recent
statement concerning the ash collection ser
vice.
"In my neighborhood. says the writer,
"out Of eight houses not one is receiving
full service. My neighbors, like myself,
have partly provided themselves with metal
receptacles. These are filled and by the con-
tractor emptied weekly. The balance of
ashes produced are removed by private
collector, or accumulate to be removed at
the convenience of the householder NY
one metal can cost S225 My weeks pro-
duction would require in moderate winter
weather three such cans to be procured at
the cost of 50. The private removal costs
only 40 cents per CARLOAD and five or six
loads in the spring will cost 50. Why, as
a business proposition not allow the house
holder to dispose of his ashes at his con-
venience?
Il have no reason to suppose my case is
exceptional; the average Of ash production
is probably much less per house. But if the
average expense per house is no more than
$3 for the lawful receptacles we have. by
Mr. Suffers own statement an expense
of $105, 600 to the householders of the city to
get ready to enjoy the free collection ser
vice-and these metal cans are by no means
immortal. They will wear out if not
stolen"

CARNEGIE INSTITUTE.
Its Plan More Universal Than That of
q University,


DR.. Daniel c. Gilman. president emeritus
of Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore,
and one of the trustees of the recently in
corporated Carnegie Institute, in lecture
at the university Saturday last, gave a
brief sketch of the purposes of Mr.. Car
negie's proposed scheme of instruction, in
which he said:
Mr.. Carnegie's plan is more universal
than the university, and is broad enough
to cover the whole field of human effort
and achievement. 1t involves no rivalry
with existing institutions, nor yet the es-
tablishment of new one in the sense of a
separate college or university, with a resi-
dent faculty. It's privileges will be eX-
tended to anybody. young or old, white or
black, man or woman, graduate or ugder-
graduate native or foreign
In other words. Andrew Carnege's life
and munfficence will be perpetuated in the
nature of corporation having for its OBJ
ject the furtherance of Mr.. Carnegie's de-
sire to aid In the extension and diffusion of
knowledge. hardly bound by any fixed
rules and having his executive ability and
power to determine worthy objects ampli-
fled by board of more than two score
trustees. selected from among the wisest
men in the country.
1T Is no part of Mr.. Carnegie's plan''
said DIR. Gilman, Ito bui1d expensive per-
manent laboratories" When necessary,
laboratories may be constructed for spe-

porary character. There will be no impos-
ing group of buildings, and such admins
tration buildings may be necessary will
be very modest. There will be no terms of
admission or graduation nor courses of
study.
DR.. Gilman began his lecture with an out
line of the ideas of Washington and other
early Presidents on q national university,
and cited what had been done, or ather
what had not been done, until the present
time. He illustrated the difficulties in the
way of endowing existing institutions in
Washington. and showed plainly the ad-
vantage of the proposed plan over the es-
tablishment of a grand central university
in the ordinary acceptation of the term.

CURFEWEs ASSOCIATION,
National Organfxa tdon of BOYS and
Girls and It's Objects.

The District Commissioners have re-
cefved communication from the Boys
and Girls National Curfew Association,
with headquarters in Louisville, KY, stat
ing that the association was organized
some years ago to make a study of the
best and most effective methods for the
suppression Of crimes among youths of the
United States. The association has drawn
up five laws for the consideration Of the
various state legislatures and the govern
ing body of the District of Columbia. These
laws, respectively, are as follows:
First. Compelling officials of cities, towns
and villages to detain and restore to their
homes all truant and tramping boys and
girls.
Second. Compelling all children and
youths under fifteen years of age, unless
accompanied by parents or absent with
leave apprentices excepted and those en-
ployed) to be at their homes after the
hours of o'clock at night in winter and 8
o'clock at night in summer.
Third To imprison all youths apart from
old criminals.
Fourth. To open a free public employ
ment bureau in the respective counties,
cities, towns and villages of each of the
states, enabling youths to secure homes
or employment themselves or through their
parents.
Fifth. To protect children in the homes
of vicious and immoral parents.
MI. ALEXANDER f1OSelanQ, president OF
the association, states that copies of the
several laws have been sent to the execu-
tives Of all states and territories. Con-
tinuing, he says:
Some Of these same laws have been
adopted and put In force in a good many
cities, towns and villages of the country.
Especially is this the case with the cur
few ordinance. Some two thousand cities
already have it in force. 1 have been per-
sistently urged by leading reformers of the
country to place the same in the hands of
all governors and urge action by their re-
spective state legislatures. am con-
vinced after thirty years experience on
these lines Of reform that If the legisla-
lures of the different states will adopt
these laws We can In comparatively short
time reduce crime in the United States
fully 30 per cent. In order to secure this
result the matter is entirely in the hands
Of the executives of the various states
and their legislatures. Certain it is that
no municipal or legislative action protects
our children from lives of crime and vice
and builds up homes morally and socially
more effectively than these laws"
The communication has been noted.
