VISITORS FROM ABROAD.
English Public School Teachers Study
ing American Methods.

Daniel Holme and F. c. Rice, two English
public school teachers, whose classes in the
suburbs Of London are now in charge Of
substitutes, arrived in Washington Thurs
day night, and are stopping at 1905 18th
street.
They have been studying American school
methods. and yesterday visited the Normal
School, the Franklin School and the high
schools. Although they were evidently
pleased with what they saw, they declined
to compare English methods with ours.
School gardening, as practiced by WASH
ington pupils, has greatly interested them,
and yesterday was occupied in learning its
possibilities. They were accompanied by
s. r. Kramer, who is acting as their
guide The matters pertaining to school ad-
ministration are also occupying great deal
of their time. In addition to visiting the
schools both gentlemen are visiting the i'm
portant places Of interest in the city.
Another question n which the teachers
are interested Is in regard to employing
women teachers for boys above nine or
ten years of age In England, as we'll as
In the other countries Of Europe, boys,
after reaching the second grade, are
being held that man is better qualified
to understand and cater to boys weak
nesses and good points than a woman.
The teachers are in this country as en-
them full salaries while they are away and
the transportation is paid by Mr.. Alfred
Mosely, a millionaire merchant of London.
The visitors stated today it is their i'm
preston that American pupils, generally,
seem healthier and easier to deal with than
are the youngsters in Great Britain.
An effort is being made in England, Mr..
Hoime said, to induce men to enter the
service as teachers. The instructors are
better paid. in proportion to the wages of
the mechanics, than they are here.
The visitors are members of a group of
several hundred teachers who are coming
to America to study educational conditions.
Each member has certain subject for
special study. 1t Is the intention of these
teachers to familarize themselves with the
methods of managing American schools.
Three additional visitors are expected this
afternoon at $3.50. They are Mr.. and Mrs.
Cooke and Mr.. Yates, all Of London They
will be met by the reception committee, of
which Mr.. s. E. Kramer is chairman. Five
others will come tomorrow and the whole
party will devote a day or two to sight
seeing, after which they will leave for the
north.

default to be committed to the workhouse
for three months. Judge DeLacy of the
Juvenile Court is directed to send all pa
pers. records and proceedings In the case
to the Appellate Court for review.
Moss attempted to have the District Su-
preme Court take the case away from the
Juvenile Court before trial by certiorari
proceedings, but Justice Barnard after a
hearing quashed the proceedings and re-
manded the case to the Juvenile Court
which. the justice said, was the proper
place for the trial.
Moss is represented by Attorney Fountain

His screams could be heard down stairs. The

WAGE BOARD IN SESSION.
Hearings to Employees Of Washington
Navy Yard.

The wage board of the Washington navy
yard at its sessions yesterday and today
gave hearings to employees Of the yard rep
resenting the several trades that are en-
ployed there. The employees In question
were appointed as committees by the other
workers of their crafts, and they are en-
deavoring, 1t is said, to bring about an in
crease of pay. 1t is generally urged by
the mechanics that the cost Of living in
this city is greater than in any of the other
cities with which the board makes wage
comparisons-Norfolk,V Va; Baltimore, Har-
risburg, Pa, and Philadelphia.
The wages paid in the cities mentioned
are taken as basis for the scale at the
navy yard here. The wage board will de-
eide upon a scale of wages for 1907, and
1t will be forwarded to the Secretary of
the Navy for his approval or disapproval
In reaching decision it is said the wage
board takes into consideration the fact that
the navy yard employees are granted fifteen
days leave each year, while the outside
workmen do not enjoy this privilege.
