injury as being serious at the time.
DR.. Sewell attended him or dressed
the wound in his hand until it became
serious, then DR.. Reyburn was called
in and ordered him to be carried to the
Emergency Hospital at once.
He was carried there IN his buggy
by his wife, and assigned to bed up
on the top floor He was suffering with
graet pain at the time, from which ne

In the evening he asked to be gwen

Arbitrary Orders
THE TEACHERS OPPRESSED
UNNECESSARY WORK IN THE
SCHOOLS.

SCHOOLS.
Roscoe Conklin Bruce, who received
his orders from Dr. Chancellor is, now
attempting to force teachers to comply
with certain orders issued to Bruce,
which the Board of Education did not
authorize. No such orders were is
sued TO the white schools. and just what
authority Bruce has to attempt to en-
force such orders The Bee is unable
to conjecture.
The colored teachers are informed
that they must attend the Normal Night
School, Monday Wednesday and FRI
day nights just who authorized Bruce
to issue such a ridiculous order is a
conjecture. but the presumption is that
IT is one of DR.. Chancellor's former or
ders. No such orders have been given
to white teachers.
The new Superintendent, Mr. Stwart,
is asked TO look into this.
Thursday night the teacher must at
tend a hot-air lecture for which they
were compelled to purchase tickets for
$3.50. Then here comes the model les
sons, which takes the teachers from
their school work. The modal practice
to the High School is another one of
the imaginary reforms,
Last Monday about three o'clock
about twenty teachers called upon Mr.
Horner and presented him a protest
against these arbitrary rules of Bruce,
who had no authority whatever to is
sue them. No such orders exist any
where in the country.
There are teachers in the school who
taught Bruce and who know more than
he will ever know.
Last summer Bruce left the city and
went to New York and took lessons. If
he was compelled to leave the city for
another school after having GRADUATED
from Harvard, The Bee is of the opin-
| ION that a successor to his is greatly
needed

Superintendent A. T. Stewart,
Dear Sir:
Roscoe Conklin Bruce, assistant
superintendent in charge of the colored
schools, has issued an order request
ing teachers to attend a night Normal
School three nights in a week. He has
also organized or suggested an organ
ization known as the Teachers Exten-
sion Course" where the teachers who
don't want to give model lessons or
attend parents meetings or fortnighty
meetings, are required to meet at the
Sumner School from to 10 pm, three
tin+s a week, to be taught by the High
School teachers. VIII you kindly IN
form me whether the law establishing
white and colored schools IN the Dis
trict of Columbia gave the cclored su-
perintendent authority to establish a
night colored teachers Normal School!
Does the law give him the authority to
compel teacher: to attend night meet
ings from to 10 pm, three times
week?
Well. Sir. such are the conditions OF
the colored schools, and these are only
few Of the burdens Of the colored
teachers.

where he first hung out his shingle.

The Edison Concrete House.

american Industries for July
Few inventions could have
such widespread effect at once
upon domestic architecture, the
building trade, and the housing
conditions of working people as
the devising of new, quick and
inexpensive method of construct
ing dwellings suitable for the
housing of those who cannot pay
high rents.
This, however, is just what
Mr.. Edison proposes in his plan
for establishing the new industry
of manufacturing" inexpensive
houses out of concrete, poured in
one piece by the use of enormous
molds. The idea if carried to
commercial success, is certain to
prove the most revolutionary in
novation in building construction
since the introduction Of the
steel-frame office building. It
will be a step forward in the
utilization Of the methods of
cement construction which goes
far beyond anything yet at
tempted. The use Of concrete
in house building is already
established successfully in this
country and abroad, but nothing
like the proposed plan of pouring
dwelling-houses in moulds, as
one would pour a flooring or a
pier, has been even suggested
before.
Nevertheless Mr.. Edison is
confident and enthusiastic over
the successful development of
his plans, which he believes will,
in effect, reduce to minimum
the two prime elements in build
ing construction, those Of time
and cost.
The novel feature Of the. pro-
Ject developed by Mr.. Edison
consists in the use of molqs as a
means of holding the concrete
in form during the
drying process. The molds are
to be composed Of cast-iron
plates. The details Of their
dimensions are undermined, but
It is expected that the plates will
vary in thickness from three
fourths inch to seven-eights
inch. 1t is the inventors ex-
pectation that it will be found
possible to construct two houses
per month with one set of molds
and to secure variety Of design it |
S proposed to have six sets of |
The forms made, at an estimated
aggregate cost of about sos, 600.
The size Of the building which |
Mr Edison proposes to erect on
these terms is tWenty-one feet
