SAFETY FOR WORKINGMEN
is PLEA OF w. H. TOLMAN
Representative of Museum of SAM
tation Lectures Before the
Chamber of Commerce.

A lecture on industrial Safety and the
Prevention of Accidents. or Safer Amer
jca. was delivered by DIR. William H.
Tolman at the Chamber of Commerce last
night. DR.. Tolman is the director of the
Museum of Safety and Sanitation of New
York city.
The lecturer explained that there is but
one organization In the United States
which Is devoting its time and energy to
the exploitation of the measures Of safety.
The museum said he. lis here in the
interest Of the industrialists. the workman
and the public. because the questions of
sanitation and safety affect every man.,
woman and child in the United States.
In this movement for a safer America
we should all work together.
THE museum proposes to benefit by the
experience of others by collecting the best
appliances and devices for making our
life and labor safe
Dir. lehman called Germany the great
pioneer for workman's compensation. out
lining the scheme whereby German
workmen are protected by government
regulation from accidents. and whereby
their families receive aid in the form of
an insurance.
Our country is the only civilized ma
ton that has not changed the system of
RELOCATING the injured workman to a
mere cause of action"
He also said that he believed the bust
ness men of the United States would on
pose an arbitrary law requiring them TO
make compensation unless at the same
time they can be assured that a disin-
terested organization is devoting an eff
fort to ascertain. develop and exhibit
every device for ga fety
The lecturer outlined the benefits de-
rived from the German system of "serv-
ice insurance" showing that in recent
year nearly 5.0OO.OOO workers in that
country had received 100000 for over
94.OOOOOO work days lost through illness
He spoke of the museums of safety in
Europe, especially those in Berlin. Buda-
pest. Amsterdam and Munich; of the
safety devices for use on machinery, ex-
plotted by those museums, and showed
that perils from occupational diseases
had been lessened where the museums
had been at work

PLAN FOR EDUCATION
Principals of CoIored Schools
Form Committees.
PROBLEMS TO BE TAKEN UP
Division Into Committees to Study
Pedagogic Subjects for Better
ment Of Administration.

Tho principals in the elementary
schools for colored children have recent
~ organized themselves into committees
Off the detailed and systematic investiga-
ton of school problems. The idea is to
utilize the experience and Judgment Of
teachers for the discussion and formula
ton of plans and policies.
Each committee. consisting of a chair
man and two members, is responsible for
the investigation of the topic or problem
assigned and is authorized to appoint
one or more subcommittee of classroom
teachers to cooperate with the main
committee in various phases of the in
vestigation.
The subjects chosen for Investigation by
the committees are all Of current interest
and Importance. subjects upon which the
school administration may be called to
act in the future.
Every principal serves upon one COM
fnittee and only one. The committee
upon which each principal serves has
been chosen as closely as possible in ac-
cordance with the individuals wishes.
The subjects for investigation are:
School savings bank. pupil self-govern-
ment. home and school, the average
child. economy of time and effort in
teaching and management, the clever
child, separate classes for boys and
girls, bridging the gap between elemen-
tary and high schools, revision of syllabi
and courses of study, the school lunch,
the retirement of teachers the dull
child. vocational training and practical
results OF child recent study.
The committees have gone to work and
are engaged in looking UP references upon
their subjects In the Congressional and
Carnegie libraries. and at the United
States bureau of education. Others are
in correspondence with officers in the
more important school systems through
out the country. in order to find out what
other cities are doing.
The four supervising principals in the
colored elementary schools and the as
81 'tant superintendent of schools stand In
readiness to confer with the committees
equip himself each of these officers is
making a special study of his share OF
the fourteen subjects for the investiga-
ton OF which committees have been
formed.
The chairman of the meeting Of all the
principals Is Assistant Supt. Bruce The
other officers will be present at the meet.
Ing OF the whole group Of principals and
participate freely In the discussion. so
that the members of the several commit
tees may have the benefit of the views OF
their officers. But each committee is alb.
solutely free to submit to the body OF
principals it's own recommendations. un.
hampered by the advice or suggestion OF
anybody.
1T is believed that such organized in.
vestigations on the part of the building
principals OF the schools In the city OF
Washington will awaken and sustain a
spirit of enterprise that will tend toward
steady progress.

Six Of the fleet of the twenty or more
oyster-running vessels that have been
lying at the 18th street wharf for
periods running from two weeks to a
month left here yesterday afternoon in
tow of a tug to be taken through the
ice that covers the river to the Wico-
mico and ather oyster-producing points
along the lower Potomac They Will
load back to this city.
Yesterday afternoon there were but
three vessels at the 18th street wharf
market with oysters aboard. and their
total cargoes amounted in all TO less than
800 bushels. Unless vessels with oysters
aboard arrive here within the next three
or four days the supply at the wharf
will be exhausted and the local market
will have to depend upon harreled stock
coming from Norfolk. Old Point An
napolis and other points on the Chesa-
peake bay. Oysters were selling at the
wharf market yesterday afternoon at

DUCKS PLENTIFUL.
Coming in Quantities From the
Lower Potomac.

Many ducks. 1t is stated. are being re-
ce.ved from gunners on the lower part Of
the Potomac river Yesterday several
barrels of black heads, canvas backs, red
heads and rocks were on sale at the
wholesale market at the foot of 18th
street and the demand for them was ex-
cellent. Receipts of ducks from North
Carolina have been light this winter, less
than the usual quantity of the birds hav-
ing been shipped to Washington dealers
The fowls are plentiful, it is said, but
owing to the unusually close inspection
under the food laws of the District the
dealers notified shippers not to ship here
Since the beginning of the recent freeze
many large t1ocks of ducks have been
seen in the vicinity of this city in the
holes in the ice where gunners could not
get at them, and below Fort Hunt they
have been particularly plentiful. Canvas
backs sold at 81 per pair at the wharf
market yesterday, black heads at 90 cents
per par red heads at 50 per pair and
rock at 30 cents each.
