of the fleet of powerful tow boats at

white paint, the color now used on the
naval service tugs In service on the Po-

SYSTEM OF PROMOTIONS
Elan Suggested by Commissioner Mac
farland in Interest of Physicians,

Commissioner Macfarland has recon-
mended to the Commissioners a plan for
promotion Of physicians entering the Dis
trict service at the Washington Asylum
Hospital which will give them oppor-
tunity to rise successfully first to the po-
sitions of resident physician at the Wash
ington Asylum Hospital. at the Home for
the Aged and Infirm and at the proposed
tuberculosis hospital, and then to the po-
sition Of physician to the poor and then
to the position Of medical inspector Of
schools, and to the position of member of
the police and fire surgeons.
The difficulty of securing and keeping
satisfactory men in the position Of in
terne at the Washington Asylum Hospital
prompted the suggestion by the visiting
physician and superintendent Of the WASH
ington Asylum that a scheme be devised
for giving the internes opportunities for
promotion to the better medical positions
in the service of the District, and the
board of charities and the health officer
having approved this suggestion, the
scheme outlined has been prepared. Entry
to the service will be by competitive ex-
animation limited to graduates of repu-
table medical schools, as at present.
The proposed arrangement will not in
terfere. it is stated. with appointments as
Physicians to the poor, medical inspectors
OF schools and members of the board of
police and fire surgeons, according To the
present method under competitive exami-
nations for those who have been approved
by the Commissioners. Detailed informa-
ton in regard to it will be furnished to
applicants by the health officer

RIGHTS OF SCHOOL TEACHERS
TAKING UP LANDS UNDER THE
HOMESTEAD LAW.
No Reason to Believe That They Will
Be Exempted From Full Require
ments Of the Statute.

The Interior Department is receiving a
flood Of inquiries regarding the effect of a
recent decision Of the department relative
to the rights Of school teachers in the mat
ter of taking up public lands under the
homestead law. The decision was rendered
in contest made against the entry of a
woman teacher employed in Minnesota, and.
while 1t was shown that she had lived on
the land only during her vacations. cover
Ing only about fourteen weeks for each OF
the four years she had held II, the depart
ment failed to sustain the contestant. This
holding has been construed throughout the
public land states as equivalent to decla-
ration that teachers may be permitted to
make homestead entries and to make final
proof without complying with the require
ments made of other applicants, and the
large number Of letters received on the
that construction.
Acting Secretary Woodruff of the Interior
Department and Acting Commissioner Den
nett of the general land office today united
in statement that the decision has re-
ceived a construction which was not con-
templated by the department. They call
attention to the fact that the decision did
not apply to Communication case but to
a case in which the applicant had held the
land for four of the five years required by
law. They point out that the decision was
not final, and that 1t dealt with the rights
of the contestant rather than those of the
contestee, merely holding that the improve
ments were adequate, but not attempting to
say whether title Will be granted at the
end of five years If the proof shows only
fourteen weeks occupancy for each year
They therefore warn teachers that disap-
pointment is liable to be the fate of those
who may attempt to secure land by living
on it only during vacation time. and espe-
cially of those who attempt to secure it
under such a plan with the Communication
feature added.
