the receipts, but there was a scattering of

not large enough to cause any heavy de-
cline in prices and bluefish sold at cents
per pound, gray trout at cents per
pound, sea trout, 10 cents per paund
black bass, 20 to 30 cents per pound
rock, 1917 to 25 cents per pound white
perch, 10 to 20 cents per pound and cat
fish as high as IS cents per bunch. AS
soon as the receipts increase prices will
drop, but it will be several days before
the market is again normal.
In the shipment Of fish received at the
wharf market this morning from North
Carolina was what the shipper called a
speckled sea bass, a variety of big fish
with which the dealers here are unac-

SPANISH LANGUAGE IN
WASHINGTON SCHOOLS
Supt. Stuart to Introduce the
Study if Pupils Become
Interested.

Following the suggestion of William v.
Cox. president of the board of education,
Spanish will be taught in the public
schools. II enough students can be found
who will buckle down to the study. Supt.
Stuart has started a canvass of the high
schools to ascertain how many boys and
girls can be found who want to under
take the proposed course.
Spanish has had a discouraging expert
ence in the schools. When the great cry
went forth shortly after the Spanish
American war, that the commercial con-
quest of the country's new possessions
would never be accomplished properly
until American boys could speak Span
ish, course was started in the District
of Columbia high schools, but it died a
quick death. Congress has stipulated
that no class can exist without ten
students, and ten students could not be
found in any high school who wanted to
learn Spanish. Those who wanted to
study any other than the English Ian
guage stuck to Latin, Greek, French and
German.
