Another Case of Uniform.

To the Editor of The Star:
AS a friend of our sailors and a citizen
who respects them, I would like to say a
few words in their behalf. l attended the
eighth annual bail given by the navy yard
apprentice boys and could not help MOTTO
ing the way the civilians Stunned the blue
jackets. 1t was a hard matter for some
of the sailors to get young ladies to dance
with them, and l also noticed that some
of the young ladies actually felt insulted
upon being addressed by sailors Now, L
know that sailors have a pretty hard name.
given them by few Of the bad ones, but
that is no reason why the others should
suffer. There are thousands of So3d ones
to every bad one, and l think that we
should respect them and not draw back cur
hand just because remember hat we
once saw a drunken sailor who had no self
respect.
SO 1 say let US give them our nand, and
let them know that we LOOK upon them
as men, and gladden. leir hearts with a
friendly word or a smile whenever we meet
them at a social gathering. Give them a
chance to behave themselves, and the good
ones will be sure to look afte- the bad

certificate, he was appointed a teacher and
assigned to the Benning road school, jan
uary 8, 1885, where he established manual
training in connection with his day school
work, the first introduction of the subject
in the graded schools of the District. The
following resolution, in connection with
this beginning of manual training, was
passed by the board of school trustees, De-
cember II, 1856:
believing it to be highly proper to pre-
sent to the earnest considerat on of the
board the subject of industrial instruction
as having special relationship to the edu-
cation of those pupils whose limited means
OF support prevent their attendance at
school beyond the lower grades, permission
is asked for Mr.. Bruce Evans, a teacher in
the sixth division, who com bines in himself
both the scholar and the mechanic to give
instruction in the use of tools for wood
work to the male members of his school
on Wednesdays and Fridays of each week.
The board authorized this beginning OF
manual training, limiting instruction to
Friday afternoons
DIR. Evans organized the Armstrong Man
ual Training School in 1901, after having
successfully served principal of Mott
School for seven years. At present he is
director of night schools. He is a graduate
of the Howard University medical school
and has conducted the Hampton Summer
Normal School for Teachers for the past
seven years He was recently appointed
director of the Manassas industrial school
and designated to revise the course of in
struction in order to put the school on a
firm basis.
There can be question that with a de-
voted corps of teachers, in spite of some
few anomalies the high schools have won
the support of all Westinghouse.

Immigration Reform Needed.

To the Editor of The Star:
We have reached that stage where further
delay of legislation restricting immigra-
ton is dangerous. has been but a short
time since this country was deprived of its
President at the hands of an assassin and
now comes the startling news in the pa
pers of January "a that dastardIy plot to
assassinate the governors of Pennsylvania
and Ohio, as well as other prominent Off
Gals has been unearthed
Are these plots Matched by American cit
liens? MOI They are the result of secret
meetings held among the laWless and GRIM
lnal class of foreign countries, who are
allowed to land at will upon our shores,
and who, not satisfied with reducing mil
lions of our American-born citizens to pow
erty, through the medium of cheap labor,
must ruthlessly take the lives of those men
whom we have elected to govern US, SIM
ply to satisfy their own anarchistic views.
Concerted action is what is needed to cor
rect this fast-growing evil, and now is the
appointed time. Let every true American
join in he crusade and make a unanimous
demand for the badly needed laws. Aided
by money furnished by several raternal
and labor organizations, bills will be pre-
scented at this session of Congress which,
If carried, will to q great extent correct
this evil Let every true American lend a
helping hand o protect our country and it's
institutions, so that the coming generations
may more fully understand the meaning of
virtue, liberty and patriotism
