Clean Sweep of Reform
For District Schools
House Subcommittee Will Probably Make
Radical Changes i'm System for Economy
to Get Money For Teachers Pay

A sweeping and thorough reform Of
the public school system OF the Dis
triet Of Columbia viii be provided for
in the bill which viii be framed by the
school subcommittee Of the House Dis
trict Committee.
This reform will be the result Of the
firm conviction of the subcommittee
that. under any circumstances. the ad-
ministration OF the local school system
can be made more economical and
that, without retrenchment in admin
istrative expenses, the school teachers
will not secure higher salaries at the
hands Of Congress. AS it is the great
desire Of those interested in the
schools to give the teachers more pay.
the inability to grant that without
economy would alone be sufficient 10
insure changes in the system.
Less Supervision.
One phase of school administration
which viii receive careful considera-
tion at the hands of the subcommit-
tee is the matter Of supervision, and it
seems safe at this time to assume that
the bill will carry a provision cutting
down the number of the present su-
pervision corps.
Another feature which will be
changed in the bill is the custom that
now prevails Of a teacher in the pri-
mary grade teaching her flock for
three hours and then handing over the
school building to another teacher with
another flock 1t is thought that one
teacher should teach both classes of
children as t. seems to some friends
of the schools that it is unreasonable

this morning.
Hammond Likely Loser.
This statement Is to be modified by
the slight possibility indicated by the
proposition of c c. Hammond an Illi-
nois operator. that a commission be
named by the miners to examine the
coal situation. Hammond and other
speakers laid stress on the fact that
the miners had based their demands for
higher wages on the allegation that the
operators are making big profits. The
answer Of President Mitchell to Ham
mond. attacking the railroads as own
ing the coal mines. is not taken as a
favorable omen that the miners will
seriously consider the Hammond propo-
sition.
There is little room to doubt that
the strike will begin on Mon 'sy-
No man can prophesy Wiyr any de-
gree of certainty as TO how IL Will
end. Only one thing is certain, the
whole labor movement OF the country
will back up the miners.
Some believe that the strike VIII be
a supreme test for John Mitchell. They
say he win fall as the leader OF the
miners If the strike fails.
Ii is true that Mitchelfs position Is
surrounded by difficulties and dangers
but il does not follow that he will
be held responsible for all Of the i'll
that befalls the miners, no more than
# follows that the strike will be a
failure because OF the conditions sur
rounding it.
