TWEEDALE MAKES
YEARLY REPORT
Says Revision of Accounting Would
Show Amounts for Each De-
partment At Glance.

Declaring the present method Of ac-
counting is not conducive of best re-
suits. District Auditor pweedaie, in his
annual report, submitted 10 the Commits
sioners today, recommends that all
charges against District revenues be in
cluded in the District appropriation
bin, and that the Commissioners annual
estimates be so revised as 70 show at a
glance the amounts appropriated for
each department.
Under present practice" says the re-
port. District of Columbia appropria-
ton estimates are included Ia the sun
dry civil bill, the legislative, executive,
and judicial BILL in the public buildings
bill, and In numerous miscellaneous
bills, with the inevitable consequence
that at no one time. whether by the
Commissioners or Congress, in the con-
sideration OF the annual estimates Of
appropriations to be made within the
revenue limitations are all appropria-
uons and charges brought directly be-
fore either the administrative or the
legislative power
Two Advantages.
Not only viii the proposed Iegisla-
tion secure absolute legislative and
administrative control, but II will
greatly facilitate and perfect the &C
counting for District appropriations
and funds by the Treasury Department
and accounting officers. The account
ing officers are bound by the limitations
and directions contained In the several
appropriation acts, and as a conse-
quence. under existing law, the appro-
priations for the District are now car
ried on sundry separate and indepeu-
dent ledgers In the division Of book
keeping and warrants. and on the War,

Auditor TweedaIe again recommends
that the appropriations for the gen

following heads: General government,
protection Of life and property, health
and sanitation, highways, charities

ice enterprises. Interest and debt. mis-

The Board OF Education at an early
date viii consider separating sexes in
the Washington High Schools.
II segregation is decided upon II will
mean the establishment Of a boys high
school and a girls high school, su
as existed in the .0s before the cree
ton Of the present Central High schoo
building
The fact that new building is assured

OF business men are successful in
getting an item OF S175,O00 ;H-ough make
il necessary for the board 70 determine
before the new structure Is erected its
policy in the matter Of co-education.
Boys School Suggested.
The subject came to the attention OF
individual members OF the board through
a suggestion that the new structure
planned for Central be made a boys
high school with campus, an athletic
held, a dr;n ground. and other acces-
sories of a college.
THE question OF co-education Is dis
turb!ng educational circles in all parts
OF the country Just now, said ". V. Cox.
president Of the Board Of Education.

take the step of separating the sexes in
the high schools here it would make
a thorough Investigation OF conditions
in cities where provisions for separate
education already exists.
Il have given the matter considerable
thought. and It would take more time
10 reach a decision. Leading educators
Of the country seem to be lined on each
side"
The establishment Of a boys high
school and girls high school will be
opposed by the superintendent OF
schools, A. T. Stuart
Favors Co-Education.
Il am a thorough believer in CO.
education" he said today. And I be-
lieve the sexes should go through school
together from kindergarten through uni
versity. We do not attempt TO separate
the sexes in our homes. why should we
do so in our schools Such a separa-
ton, believe, is unnatural, and I
should be sorry 10 see II introduced
here. I believe our present system is
ideal in respect TO the relation Of the
sexes in school work"
Advocates Of the project VIII present
before the board shortly facts concern
ing the operation OF the Boys City
College, in Baltimore, and similar in
stitutions in other large cities.
It is held by the opponents Of CO.
education that the demands Of girls
and boys cannot be met In the same
high schools. If both are preparing
for college, 1t is pointed out, the re-
quirements Of a boys and girls college
are essentially variant IN most cases.
Welcomes Five-Year Course.
If the boy intends to quit high school
at the end Of mis- course. it is urged.
the argument is equally good. for in
most cases he would welcome the oo-
portunity to take a ive-year course.
such as Is offered by the City College
of Baltimore.
The proposal is concerned mainly
with the academic high schools. II Is
not proposed to alter the arrangements
at Business or at Mckinley Manual
Training Schools.
The plan is 10 have the boys college
IN the new Central building and devote
the old Central, Eastern, and Western
structures, now OverCTOWded, 10 the
girls high schools.
