Stunt. Davidson Talks to School
PRINCIPALS.

Principals Of the public chools OF the
District, especially members OF the
Principals Association, are starting to-
day to prepare papers and subjects for
discussion during the school year, fol-
lowing a talk to the association by DR..
Davidson, superintendent Of schools.
In the Franklin School yesterday after
noon Dr. Davidson talked to the prin-
cipals on the importance of an educa-
ton that would meet the demands OF
the present day, and 1T is undoubtedly
true that there will be- some elimina-
ton in the courses Of study in the near
future. The trend of education Is to
get away from useless arbitrary mat
tiers, and that course will be pursued
in the future in Washington, as it has
been in the past.
In his talk yesterday DR.. Davidson
brought to the attention of the prin-
eipals a trio. which he called the
"three Is" namely. information, illum-
nation and inspiration. He remarked
that education is a thing of two di-
mansions. the length being the course
of study and the width being the
breadth of the teachers abilities.
Charles A. Johnson was elected Sec
rotary to fill the position made vacant
by the death of Mrs. Mary Walker.

POWER BOAT CENSUS.
About 600 Believed to Be in Dis.

OfYicials OF the custom house have been
engaged for several weeks past in maxi
ing a census Of the power boats. used
for pleasure purposes. that are owned
here and have their headquarters in Dis
trict waters. So far list OF 473 boats
has been obtained. but IL is thought this
will be added to and that the number will
be found to be close to 900. They vary
in size from the palatial power yacht.
with accommodations for a dozen per-
sons aboard, to the little ten-foot rowboat
that will carry but two persons with
comfort. The growth in the number OF
power-equipped pleasure craft owned at
this city has been by leaps and bounds.
Ten years ago the number of launches
at this city could have been counted on
the fingers. but with the Improvement I'm
the gasoline engine and it's decrease In
cost the installing Of ii in pleasure craft
began. until today there are no small
steam launches. and the pleasure craft
that depend entirely upon wind and sails
as motive power are very few. The har-
Dor at Georgetown and in the Eastern
branch and at this city is filled with
pleasure craft as thick as bees In mid
summer about a molasses barrel.

MAYOR GAyNOR ARGUES
AGAINST WATER METER
Its Use Condemned on the
Ground That It Tends to
UncIeanIineSs.

Mayor w. ]. Gaynor Of Greater New
York is on record as opposing. absolutely
and unqualihedly. the use Of water meters
in the homes of citizens.
The District Commissioners. on the
other hand, have just increased the water
tax rates in Washington in order. they
say, to raise sufficient money to permit
the installation of water meters through
out the city.
Mayor Gaynor's attitude in the matter
was called to the attention of the Cham
Der of Commerce at its meeting last night
by Harry King. Mr.. King presented
letter to the chamber. addressed oy
Mayor Gaynor to Harold H. Harding,
secretary of the High Bridge Taxpayo
last and dealing with the subject OF
water meters. The letter had been sent
to Mr.. King at his request by mayor
Gaynor's secretary.
Text of Mayors Letter.
Mr.. King asked to have the letter read
to the chamber. saying that he had first
consulted Chaplin Brown. chairman of the
municipal legislation committee. which
has opposed the District Commissioners
plan to increase water rates and install
meters.
Mayor Gaynor's letter is as follows:
Dear Mr.. Harding: Your favor OF
June II is at hand. l entirely agree with
you in regard to putting water meters In
dwellings. / do not believe In charging
for water according to meter for domestic
purposes or for use in dwellings or tene-
| ments. examined the matter very
carefully over a year ago and came TO
that conclusion, and / see. no reason to
depart from 1t. If heads Of houses had
TO nav for water according to meter they
would be uneasy when their wives and
children took baths. for such Is human
nature.
Reasons for Opposition.
1.-The result would be discomfort and
uncleanIiness Every one would hesitate
tn take a bath sooner than add to the
household expenses. This would be par
ticularly so among the poor and the peo-
ple of moderate means.
Il believe in getting an inexhaustible
source of water supply, and letting every
one use all the water he or she wants
for washing and bathing and domestic
nurposes That is necessary to keep the
Community clean and in good sanitary
condition. Tell your association to stick
to this Sincerely yours.
