CAPT. OYSTER PLEASED.
Head of School Board Thinks Re
port Is Excellent.

Il am very much pleased with the
report Of the schoolhouse commission
stated Capt. James F. Oyster. president
of the board of education. this after
noon. Il have only read the report
over hurriedly, but / think it is an
excellent one
THE report justifies every conten-
ton of the board of education in the
reports of its committees 10 the full
board and in it's requests for improve
ments made to the Commissioners OF
the District and inc the estimates SUBJ
mitted to Congress
Il hope that Congress will take full
recognition of the fact that our re-
quests for larger appropria lions for
improving the District school build
ings have been upheld by this commits
sion composed of the best experts, un-
prejudiced and impartial, in the city
The standing of the members of this
commission gives much weight to their
recommendations. and inasmuch as they
back up the contentious of the board
we feel that Congress should give us
the needed help in making the local
schoolhouses safe and sanitary.
There is only one recommendation
in the report with which I would now
disagree, and that is in regard to the
appointment of a municipal architect
The board has contended for some time
that school architect should be APP
pointed, to be under the control of the
board OF education. If that were done,
buildings satisfactory to the board and
the school authorities who must use
the structures will be assured.
However. judging from a hurried
reading of the report, l think 1t is as
whole excellent"

CONFERENCE OF INTERESTS.
Secretary Straus to Call Meeting Of
Industrial and Labor Captains.

Secretary Straus has referred to a spe-
cal committee in the Department Of Com
merce and Labor the advisa bility of call
ing together important labor leaders. pub
licists and directors Of bis industries for
the purpose of considering several ques-
tons of importance throughout the coun-
try. He has suggested that the meeting
be held at the Department of Commerce
and Labor about January IL.
Some of the subjects which the Secre-
tary believes ought TO be considered are:
The extension Of the steamboat inspec-
ton service so as to include an inspection
of locomotive boilers.
The prevention OF the dissemination OF
misleading information in European coun-
tries concerning the demands for labor In
the United States.
The making more effective the division
Of information in the work of locating i'm
migrants who come TO this country.
The problem of the unemployed during
periods of financial depression such as the
country experienced In the last year.
The consideration of the Roosevelt
foundat ion for the promotion Of industrial
peace, intended 10 bring about a better
understanding between employers and la
borers.
Secretary Straus said today he believed
that such meeting would be productive
of great good to the commercial and In
dustrial interests of the country.

ceiling of the second floor. type of build
ing which was recommended by the
-schoolhouse commission to Congress about
a year ago and for which the estimates
now under consideration by the committee
made by the Commissioners last October
provide.
cit is believed that the report of this
commission, followed by the report Of this
committee. will practically insure the
future construction of no building of more
inf1ammable construction than of this
type. The report OF the committee will.
however. be taken up in greater detail for
consideration AS to future work where
the opinion of the committee was eX-
pressed at variance with the known prac-
tice of the office.
The first examination shows that pos
sibly the only disagreement of this class
noted was the criticism of the COMMITTEES
of the fire escapes erected during the past
year and the recommendation as to stair
ways to additions to old schools recently
constructed. as at the Emery. Gage. Lang
don and others. These criticisms. it
should be stated. are but the expression of
opinion of the committee and as such are,
of course. entitled to the greatest con-
sideration.
Unless a reason appears which is not
now apparent there would seem to be no
cause for their being incorporated into
our practice.
Funds Needed Badly.
aside from these matters the report is
filled with numerous suggestions as to the
treatment OF individual schools. many of
which conditions were already known to
the office and only failed of correction
through lack of funds. The work during
the past summer from the funds Of $50
600 appropriated by Congress at the last
session was expected under the direction
of the inspector of buildings directly along
the lines recommended by the committee.
"A number of the matters in the report
both critical and otherwise are matters
not under the control of the board of
Commissioners. having to do with the
care of the buildings at the hands of the
Janltors under the control of the board
of education. The report goes far to
prove that the safety of the children in
the schools is more than anything else
dependent upon eternal vigilance on the
part of those charged with the care of the
pupils. and as means of again laying
stress upon this important fact, if for no
other reason, it would be of great value

FAvoRs POSTAL SAVINGS BANK
Senator Carter Delivers Address il
Support Of the Measure.

Senator Carter today spoke in support
Of the postal savings bank bill. After re-
ferrinS to the various Endorsements by
political conventions and other organiza-
tons of the people of the postal savings
banks Mr.. Carter said that while there
are only 1,4a2 savings banks, there are
more than 81 900 post offices. 10000 OF
which are money order Offices" He de-
clared that postal savings banks are in
operation in practically all civilized coun.
tries Of the world except the United
States.
The speaker proposed. he said, to offer
amendments to the bill reducing from
1900 to $500 the amount any person may
deposit in postal banks with interest, and
from 5000 to 500 the amount that may be
deposited in any one month, and also to
strike out the provision allowing any
person to deposit money as trustee. These
amendments he said, would remove three

Secretary Wilson, after the cabinet

disease discovered in Carroll county, in
that state. Farmers in the counties of
Montgomery and Prince George. ada
cent to the District of Columbia, have
been prevented from bringing cattle. hay
etc, to the District and the hardship
upon them has caused many applications

cation. Secretary Wilson said it was
probable that notifications of the quar-
antine would be issued early next week
SO that cattle for slaughter, hay and other
feed may be brought into the District
from nearby counties.
