The Federal Census.

tThe chief definite criticism, I believe,
which Washington officials have made upon
these bureau of labor reports is founded
upon the belief that the federal census
credits this city with less than It's actual
population. But between such surmises
and the federal census figures the average
citizen will choose the latter until proven
incorrect. This last consideration applies
also to my omission of DR.. Woodward s
phrase, Unless the returns Of the federal
census of 1900 are incorrect which, as sug-
gested before, seems probable from his
conclusion that then, approximately 457
out of every i 900 colored children recently
born in the District died before completing
their first year of life The omission OF
an implied criticism upon the federal CEN
sus does not seem to alter greatly the pro-
foundry grave impression produced by DR..
Woodward's statement. / did include the
modifying phrase. unless the federal CEN
sus is incorrect when quoted Dr. Wood
ward in the annual report of the Associated
Charities, where there was sufficient space
to print 1t all, but when 1t came to sum-
marizing Washingtons death rates on a
single card measuring only three and a
half by six inches found 1T necessary to
omit the unimportant modifying phrase.
after all, the sole desire of all of US is
to make the national capital an ideal city.
Commissioner West, Maj. Sylvester and Dr..
Woodward have been our leaders in report
ing many local needs and evils and. in adj
yocating means of betterment. We are all
agreed, I do not doubt that Washington's
death rate should be made lower than at
present by every possible means, and that
all our future citizens between the ages of
eight and fourteen should be compelled to
attend school. If we all push hard for
such reforms-and the three men named
have done and will surely do this-then per-
haps 1t does not matter so much whether
it is I'll or 7.110 children who are to be
benefited by a compulsory school attend
ance Jaw. My only concern is that all citi-
zens shall be enthusiastically united in the
effort to see that all children of school age
are kept in school. No other question
which now confronts our city seems more
important than this one of compulsory eu-
ucation.''

Substantial changes for the ensuing year are
announced by the AIusurgia Society, musical
organization Of New-York City. now closing lts
tyventy-frst season. This society has existed
as a male chorus but as the repertoire OF
male chorus is necessarily limited, it has been
decided to add 10 the. voices Of the seventy
FIVE men now singing in the club an equal num-
her Of women's voices. This will make a Well
balanced chorus Of selected singers, able to
enter a musical field such as is az present COW
cred in Boston by the st. Cecilia Society and
in Philadelphia by the MendelssOhn Club. This
field will include the performance. with orches-
ira. Of short. dramatic cantatas. The modern
trend would seem TO be toward this type of
composition rather than in the direction of the
larger form of oratOTio. While the MusuTgla

art. composition for male voices and the glees
