from all these visitors that the Presi-
dent was sanguine as to final success and
does not take the pessimistc view that
has been prevalent in Washington for
some time. His failure to enter into
long confab with the Senate leaders is
said today to be the best indication that
he believes that some patience and quiet
work will be all that are needed to bring
everything into good shape.
President Taft will go for long horse

You will observe from the above
statement that Congress has been
very generous in it's treatment of the
white children of the district. and
the appropriations for new school

the population during the last few

the appropriations for schools for col

any year except 1904, when no money
