Watched by Thousands.

An immense crowd of spectators gath
cred about the vicinity of the stable last
night and watched the progress of the
fire and the work of the firemen. The
work of removing the bodies Of the
horses was started early this morning.
1t is probable that work to restore the
building will be started without delay.
Fire of an unknown origin did about
$500 damage at the home Of Ralph Har-
rison, 516 9Th street northwest. last night.
The flames were discovered about 8
o'clock in front room Of the house. They
gained Roadway and before the firemen
the contents Of the room were destroyed.

Teachers Entitled to Pension.

''On account of the low wage paid. the
school teacher is entitled to a pension
There is great necessity of the enactment
Of law for pensoning the public school,
teachers of the District. Washington. as
the National Capital, should have Il mode
educational system for the entire coun-
try. A large number of cities and states
mas already laws for teachers retirement
and pension. Three important matters
to be remembered in connection with the
schools are efficiency, economy and just
treatment of all employees who have rem
dered honorable service.
Isaac Cans asked DR.. Davidson to ex-
plain to the committee the Nebraska law
relating to the retirement of public school
teachers, and which DIR. Davidson himself
drew UP while he was superintendent OF
schools in Omaha.
DR. Davidson said the Nebraska law
provides for raising teachers pension
fund by deducting from every salary IN
stallment of the teachers from l to Ia
per cent. For every dollar so deducted
the board of education takes one and one
half times the amount and ADDS the
money to the pension fund.

Total Loss About $4,000.

II Ire MarSnal NICHOLSON made an eX-
animation of the ruins today. It is
believed that the damage to the stock
will aggregate about $1,000, while the
building was damaged to the amount
of at least $1,000. ]. G. Bowen owns the
building. His loss is covered by in
surance. Mr.. Bankers loss is partly
covered by insurance
The fire. is it thought, started in box
stall on the second floor. where nineteen
horses occupied stalls. nearly thirty other
animals being cared for on the first
floor. 1t was a comparatively easy mat
ter for volunteers to release the animals
from the stalls on the first floor, but the
quantity of inflammabe material on the
second floor promoted the rapid spread
of the flames and cut off the runway be-
fore rescuers could ascend.
In few minutes after the fire was dis
covered the flames had spread from the
second floor to the roof and 1t was inn
possible for the firemen to save the struc-
ture. When the roof fell in it was feared
by the firemen that the outer walls might
weaken and fall, and Chief Wagner was
careful to keep his men at safe dis
lance

The great need of a retirement system
for the public school teachers of the
District of Columbia was emphasized by
DIR. William NJ. Davidson, superintendent
of schools, in an address delivered last
night before the public school committee
of the Chamber of Commerce. In an
swer to a suggestion by DR.. Davidson
that the committee get behind the gen.
eral proposition and urge it upon Con-
gress, Charles w. Claggett, chairman of
the committee, was authorized to appoint
subcommittee to take the matter up at
| once.
The Chamber of Commerce and the
board of directors of the chamber have
already given their approval to the de-
| mand for a teachers retirement system.
A bill in that inteest has been drafted
by the board of education and the Dis
trict Commissioners and is before Con-
gress. 1t is considered likely that after
examining it the committee on public
schools will back up this measure.
Chairman Claggett. in Introductory re-
marks to the committee, congratulated
Washington upon obtaining DIR. Davidson
for superintendent of its public school
system. And DR.. Davidson in return ex-
pressed his appreciation of the cordial
welcome he had received here.
Improvement the Watchword.
you have in Washington great educa-
tional SYSTEM said Dr. Davidson, land
You are to be congratulated that such
a system has been built up by the boards
of education and school officials in the
past L do not mean, however, that
there is no room for improvement. No
matter how splendid the system may be,
our present business is improvement.
THE greatest educational factor touch
ing the lives of the children of the Dis
trict is the home" DR.. Davidson said,
and he discussed in some detail the close
connection that must exist between home
and school.
I'VE have never looked upon the public
schools as an expense. 1t has been con-
clusively shown that Americans think
every dollar put into the schools is a
good investment. The standard of pub
lie schools in this country has constantly
improved. Today more than 20,OO0,OO0
children in this country attending
the public schools. The proportion of
children who are today in the high
school is much greater than it was forty,
twenty or even ten years ago. showing
that the tendency is to go far beyond the
old common school education which
used to be considered sufficient.
You have splendid teaching body
here, about 1.75O teachers in all. There
are two important problems connected
with the teaching body in any system of
public schools. The first is to have a
care that the school teachers be of high
class. and that care is to be exercised at
the point of intake into the system. If
weak teachers are taken into the system
they will spread all through it, 1t is of
the highest Importance to have good
teachers in a public school system
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1911-12-12
Must Measure Up to Standard.

Pull should never be in evidence and
should never exist in connection with the
selection of the teachers. In this matter,
the public school organization in the
District of Columbia is first class. The
feeling has spread that applicants for
places as teachers are to be treated fair
ly. but that they must measure up to GER
tain fixed standards and pull is not re-
sorted to.
1.-THE second matter of vital Importance
to the teaching body is the creation of 4
condition that will enable the superin-
tendent of schools and the board Of edu-
cation to eliminate from the school sys-
tenn the inefficient and negative teachers
who may have slipped in, or who may
have become inefficient from old age.
The teachers draw a low wage. II
they give their services for this low wage
for thirty years or more, and suddenly
become inefficient because of the Ions
strain and hard work. they may realize
their inefficiency, but they cannot stop
If they do stop, there is no bread and
butter. Many Of these superannuated
teachers are among the noblest women In
the community in every city.

Save Adjoining Property.

By the time the animals on the first
floor had been led away the blaze had
made it's way over the entire area of the
second and third floors. Chief Wagner
and his assistants realized that there was
no possibility Of saving the stable or the
portable property on the two upper floors.
and it became necessary. for them to see
to the protection OF neighboring property.
On one side of the burning structure was
the big warehouse of House & Hermann,
while the home of William Johnson, a
tw0-stOry frame structure, was on the
other side. Firemen realized that if the
blaze reached either of the two struc-
lures they probably would be unable to
prevent serious damage. Hose lines were
kept where they could make the attack
the instant the blaze spread to either
structure, but the lines working on the
stable prevented the flames from getting
outside that building
When the fire had been eXtinguished
Chief Wagner and Fire Marshal Nichol-
son examined the ruins and counted the
bodies of nineteen horses on the second
floor Scores of vehicles were also among
the ruins. Some of them had been to-
tally destroyed, while others had only
been scorched. Although the blaze was
practically eXtinguished before midnight.
firemen remained in the vicinity of the
building until long after daybreak.

Uniform Rate of Payment.

If this is not sufficient. then the ooard
is to add a sum sufficient to pay all the
teachers pensions. Every teacher upon
retirement receives the same pension
annually. $500. no matter what his or her
salary may have been before retirement,
for the rest of his or her life. EVERY
teacher who has served for thirty-hNe
years, twenty of which shall nave peeh
i'm the Nebraska schools. is entitled 10
retire on pension At the end of forty
years they must retire. If after twenty
five years of service teacher Is JUS
abled she may retire on five-sevehihs ..
the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. pension, anu
every wear of service after the twenty
fifth increases the amount of her pension.

Confined to One Building.

The front. rear and side walls rema.ned
standing, however, and persons who
watched the work of the firemen con-
graduated them on the success of their
efforts to confine the blaze to the one
building.
When Chief Wagner's automobile turn
ed into New York avenue, the chief hay
ing Responded on the second alarm, he
saw flames leaping from the windows on
the two upper floors of the building and
soon it had burned hole through the
roof. Chief Wagner sounded a third
alarm soon he reached the box at
New York avenue and 9TH street. Six
engines and four truck companies were
already at work, and the third alarm
summoned five additional companies, in
Guiding the water tower.
II. w. Keppler of 625 New York avenue
had discovered the blaze from his home
and had notified Edward i. Salter, who
was in charge of the stable. Keppler
then hurried to the nearest fire alarm
box.
Four companies responded to the first
alarm. as did the police reserves from
the second precinct Salter and those
who, hurried to his assistance, lost no
time rescuing the horses from the first
floor. but We're unable to get those on
the second floor out because of the rapid
spread Of the blaze. ''-7 s :
