I was recently asked what is the
greatest institutional asset Of America
My answer vas the public schools. that
belong TO and exist for the children-the
hope OF the nation in the days 10 come.
They are the melting pot in which dur
ing the childhood OF the coming genera
lions racial and national differences dis
appear, never again 70 be restored 10
their narrowing influences. They aim 10
teach the children OF the land, not only
the principles which experience has
shown each may best employ for his
own advantage. both material and spir-
itual but also the social principles Of
democratic government in which the
common welfare Of larger group, be ii
town. county. city, State. or nation, Is at
stake.
Indeed. they are Of late teaching the
children TO have even a broader interest
and the worlds welfare Is now within
their scope More than any other ma
tional agency can they be used for the
development OF character, the most es-
sential element in the life Of any people
It is because OF that confidence in the
great usefulness Of the public schools 10
the District Of Columbia and TO the ma
ton that the board OF education Of this
city, busy hen and women. are willing
20 serve the nation in such capacity
without thought OF financial reimburse
ment.

The board OF education is charged with
directing the work Of the public schools.
All general questions connected with the
educational AMI the business policies Of
the schools are determined by this body
The board appoints for a term OF three
years q superintendent Of schools. who
is responsible for the educational work.
Legally. no appointment promotion,
transfer. or dismissal OF any teacher or
principal can be made by the board OF
education except upon the superintend-
ents nomination. IN this way. not only
is the educational system IN the hands
OF the superintendent. but the choice Of
those upon whom We must depend 10
carry out his Ideas is also with him.
The only factor determining the vel
fare Of our schools not under the control
OF the board OF education Is the expendi-
ture Of the funds appropriated for their
maintenance. The board has been Sc
riously hampered at times. by the fact
that all school MONEYS are controlled by
the Commissioners u the District or
Columbia
This limitation is especially felt in re-
gard TO the purchase OF school sites and
the erection and repairs OF buildings.
The time must come when the District
Of Columbia. as II has already come in
many of the large progressive cities OF
the country. when the body directly re-
sponsible for the conduct OF the schools
shall have definite and ample funds, and
be empowered to ex2end the same as
the needs OF schools demand.

outgrown its means: that Is 10 say, the

Many OF the pupils were not properly

which had been erected at great cost

quate class rooms in properly planned

The boards object has been 10 see that

turn and secure TO the children every
benefit which could be gotten.
The board Of education has aimed to
inspire IN the teachers and officers Of the

Of the city, but also a feeling Of security

summation OF projects such as these:
The purchase Of a commanding site
and the erection Of a new Central High

 FOR FlETcHER'S CASTo RI! A FAIRFIELD

Those who had the pleasure of att tending the annual meeting of the Audubon Society were much pleased to learn that interest in birds has grown wonderfully during the past year, and the future for the feathered tribes is most encouraging. It is thought that the birds themselves have not increased, unless an exception is made in favor of the starling and the English sparrow. Unfortunately these poor birds do not get much sympathy. but like poor folks they manage to grub along. Mr.. Smith says the bird laws are now better enforced than ever. and no killing on a large scale is now possible in this State. He
 thinks the schools have done good work. In this much credit must be given to Mrs. Mabel Osgood Wright, who is ever active in promoting the good work, distributing bird buttons, getting up programs for bird days and offering frequent suggestions through the press. Nor should the good work of Mrs. William H. Glover, the efficient secretary. pass unnoticed.
 MT. Smith thinks the palmated sand piper should be better protected The
 lecture which followed the luncheon given by H. K. Job. was made doubly interesting owing to the fact that it was illustrated by pictures of birds. thrown on a screen through colored lantern slides. Altogether this annual meeting was enjoyable and unusually successful.
 Mrs Manuel has closed the old Sun Inn, on the village green. and return cd to New York for the winter.
 The ladies of the Home Missionary Society will meet at the Congrega- tional church on Thursday afternoon. and a supper will be served at 6 o'clock.
 Thursday afternoon the Sasaquanaug Association met at the home of Mrs. John H. Perry. The prospect is the public whists will be given again this winter, and there will be readings at the meetings.
 A few evenings ago Miss Jessie Van Valkenburg was given a surprise party Th honor of her 18th birthday. Some 90 of her young friends assembled, dressed in sheets and pillow eases. armed with lanterns. There was much fun, music, dancing and refresh f1entS.
