During the coming year several addi-
tons will be made to the number of pub
lie school buildings in the city. and with
out any reference to the adequacy or IN
adequacy of this provision TO meet exist
ing needs. about which there are very de-
cided opinions, both in and out of Con
gress, the proposed location of the new
structures throws a good deal of light
upon the material development of the
city There are only eight such buildings
authorized by the current appropriation
bill, as against eleven last year, and
from these figures it might be concluded
that the growth of the schools and also
of the population was rather on the de-
crease than the increase.
The statistics. however, do not justify
such broad conclusion. and in addition
the building of schoolhouses is not au-
thorized solely OH the record of the course
of population No doubt there will be
some found who will claim that such con-
siderations have very little weight with
the apprOpria ton COMMITTEES of Congress.
1t should be pointed out. however. in
order to understand the comparative fig
ures of the number of school buildings
provided for last year and for the cur
rent year that in the list for the present
year is q large structure for the use of
the normal school, thus giving to that
training school for the teachers of the
public school system of the city for the
first time in its existence home of its

Territory Building Up.

The line of the advance of the city in
this direction. as has been pointed out, is
not alone along 14th street extended, but
also along Georgia avenue. In this belt
of territory. bounded on the one side by
Rock Creek Park and on the other by
the grounds of the Soldiers Home-at
least the southern section in the case Of
the latter-the development has followed
largely the line of the trolley roads. Now
a lateral growth is in progress and has
made considerable Roadway. and covers
pretty well the entire stretch from west
to east and north of Park road. There
is no reason to suppose that similar
process will not go on in the case of the
section of the territory north of the Rock
Creek Church road
In fact il has already begun just north
of that line. ard undoubtedly it will
widen out so to include quite a sweep
of the district that lies toward the east
The proposed railway from Takoma Park
through portion of the extreme eastern
section is likely to help on such a move
ment.
Another outpost, as it might be termed
of the city is the eight-rOom structure
nue. extended at 18th place. The subdivi-
sion is that OF Randle Heights. and this
provision for the children of that portion
of the territory east of the Eastern branch
shows the progress of population in that
direction. 1t is not the farthest east in
the list of schoolhouses but it has that

More Artistic Buildings.
Independent of such considerations as
the material advancement of the city, the
schoolhouse buildings which are being de-
signed by SnOwden Ashford. the munici-
pal architect, have an interest growing
out of the fact that such structures are
more and becoming ornaments to the
city, as pleasing and harmonious types
OF architecture. Perhaps in the opinion
OF some II is not true that people gen.
orally, what is called for the sake Of
rough classification the masses, care any
thing al all about grace or beauty in a
building. But it would be difficult on
such a theory to explain how it happens
that the Union station, for example, as
devoid OF ornament or any feature that
merely appeals to wonder or curiosity as
u building can possibly be, won at the
start and has held since the admiration
and the approval of the public. The
same is true of anything of the sort
that has merit showing that the appre-
citation of the best is not confined to the
elect few
The educational value of taste and sin
cerity in the form and treatment of
buildings is more and more in evidence

ings of the city. and il is the purpose 70
continue along such lines. What mas
been done in that way recently finds an
excellent example in the harmonious and
attractive structure known as the Lucre-
tia Mott School, located al 9th and Trum-
bull streets northwest, just east of the
Freedmens Hospital. in the locality of
what was once known as Howardtown.

Location of Buildings.

From the standpoint of those interested
in real estate the significant feature is
the location of some of them. In this
way can be traced in part the record OF
the past few years in the growth of the
city A case in point is the eight room
building that is to be built on Farragut
street between 18th and 14th streets
northwest. The interesting thing about
it is the location of Farragut street, es-
pecially in relation TO the center of the
city.
1t is not far in point of time, for the
trolley lines furnish continuous service
right into the heart of the city, but in
point of distance it is a good ways out.
line drawn along the north boundary
of Rock Creek cemetery would pass
south of Farragut street. 1t is north
of the car barns of the Capitol Ira action
Company and short distance south of
the old Brightwood race course, and lies
about midway between the schOOlhOuse in
PetwOrth that is north of the Rock Creek
Church road on the east side of Georgia
avenue. and the school building in Ia
koma Park. which is just on the borders
Of the District.
The new Farragut Street School build
ing will mark by no means the farthest
north of the trend of the city's population
in that direction. 1t merely points to the
filling up of the country along 14th street
and also along Georgia avenue. for the
meanders of the latter constantly toward
the west tend 10 shorten the distance De-
tween the two thoroughfareS, and in this
vicinity they are only separated by city
block. The farthest north for school
buildings in that direction is found in
those facing the Military road west of
Brightwood, and at TakOma
In the immediate vicinity of this pro-
posed structure the city, or, rather, the
extension of it, is decidedly suburban in
appearance, as the houses stand detached
amid lawns. A short distance to the
south. however, the improvements along
14th street are of the usual city type of
houses in rows. The advance toward the
north is almost uniform. at least. on the
east side of the street, where there is
block after block of houses Beyond
Spring road, however. there is an inter-
val of unimproved land. and then the
building of houses in rows has been re-
Sumed.
