were needed. At present the product OF

New Tender for River Forts

The officers stationed at Fort Wash
ington artillery station have been trying
for the past year to have launch, larger
than the little Col. Hamilton, now in SER
vice at the fort, assigned to Fort Washing
ton as a dispatch boat. 1t is now stated
that their efforts will be successful and by
the first of next month it is expected the
new boat will be here. She is said to be
forty feet long and is quite fast and will
be used 10 transport the officers and men
to and from the fort and this city and to
carry supplies. Owing to the lack of speed
the Col Hamilton, the tender now in SER
vice at the fort, has made Alexandra the
end of her trips, but the new launch will
make daily trips to this city.

complaining and adjoining shops is one OF
the most complete institutions of Its klnd
in any public school system. It's cost was
about 100000, and great pains were taken
in each detail of its construction. 1t is ex-
pected that the enrolment here during the
coming term will be close to 400 pupils. lhe
course is one covering four years, just as
is the case in the other high schools, for
the manual training institutions are also
known as technical high schools and are
classed on the plane with the higher educa-
tional establishments. There is to be a two
years course for boys and girls who are
unable to take the full course of four years.
The General Armstrong Manual Training
School, on street between 1st and "a
streets northwest, is to the colored children
of the city what the Mckinley school is to
the white. The Armstrong school, like the
Mckinley, has just been completed and is
as thorough In every respect. Both build
ings represent the best thoughts of archi-
tects interested in school works.
Other New Structures.
Other new school buildings to be occupied
Monday are the Emery, a twelveroom
building in lexington; four-room buildings
in Kenilworth and Fetworth; the Morgan,
eight rooms, on Florida avenue, between
18th and 18th streets northwest named
after the late Thomas B. Morgan, District
Commissioner; SyphaX. eight rooms, South
Washington, on Half street. between N and
streets, named after the late William
SyphaX, school trustee, and the LangSton,
eight rooms, on street. between North
Capitol and list streets, named after the
late John NJ. Langston. These new build
ings will provide accommodations for 1900
more pupils and will result in doing away
with a number of the halliday scnools
which were made necessary because of lin
tied space. All the new structures are pro-
vided with modern chairs and desks, which
can be adjusted to the size of the child.
The Kindergarten System.
The increase Of 5000 in the appropria-
ton this year for kindergartens has en-
abled the superintendent to establish two
new kindergartens, In the Emery
School and one in the Morgan. Additional
kindergartens will be provided at Langdon,
Congress Heights and Teneytown. A man
ual training school is also to be established
in TenleytoWTl A new cooking school will
be installed in the Emery, in lexington, and
probably at Congress Heights. The old St.
Ann Church edifice at Teneytown, pur-
chased last year by the government, will be
fitted for manual training and the teaching
of cooking.
Congress at its last session appropriated
$3.50 for pianos for new schools, the first
time an appropriation has been specifically
made for musical instruments. Each of
the new buildings will have a piano con-
sequently. Heretofore such Instruments
have been purchased for the various build
ings through funds raised by the pupils and
teachers.
