Conditions Different Here.

Not only are there conditions such az
this which must be taken into account II
true comparative statement Is to be
issued, according to Mr.. Tweedale, but, in
northern cities, where white and colored
pupils are housed in the same buildings,
the cost Of school administration natur-
ally would be less than in Washington,
where separate institutions are main
tanned.
1t is understood that the Davidson
statement will be accompanied by a re-
port stating what the local conditions are
in the cities whose school systems are
to be compared with that of Washington
and explaining the principal causes for
the difference in administrative costs

Wishes to Establish Facts.

This Question Of comparative cost has
been put up to, the school board SO often.'
said DR.. Davidson today, that I am 60
ing to try to answer 1t once and for all.
can't say whether the statement will
show the cost In Washington to be high
or low. I want to establish the facts.
and l believe the report will do this be-
yond any question Of doubt"
District Auditor Tweedale today said
that he believed the statement being pre-
pared by DR.. Davidson will be of great
use to the board Of education, as, at the
present time, there is no publication out
Of which such Information can be Sc
cured. This Is due largely to the fact,
he said. that. in other cities, methods of
accounting differ from those in vogue in
Washington. the difference being, with re-
spect to schools. that, in Washington. the
appropriation Is made in a lump sum.
while, in other municipalities, the school
fund Is expended separately for city.
county and state schools.

Or. Davidson at Work on Com
parative Statement.
TO GET AT THE FACTS
May Serve as Basis for Future Ad.
ministrative Policies.
RELATION TO OTHER CITIES
Peculiar Conditions in the District
Where Dual System Prevails.
to Be Considered.

With the object of ascertaining the
comparative cost of the administration of
public schools In Washington and twenty
five leading cities of the United States,
DR.. William M. Davidson. superintendent
Of schools Of the District, is engaged in
compiling a statement which may serve
as the basis Of future administrative
policies to be adopted by the board of
education.
If the statistics should show the school
cost In Washington to be higher than in
other cities, the board. it is believed, will
set about to discover the cause and re-
move it, as far as 1t may. On the other
hand. if the figures show that the local
schools cost Is not abnormally high, the
board members undoubtedly will make
use of the information to refute state
ments made by members Of Congress
that Washington's school system is an
extravagant one.
Congressman Possibly Mistaken.
The congressional criticism directed
toward the cost of the administration Of
the Districts schools largely is re-
sponsible for DR.. Davidson's decision to
issue the comparative statement. He. rs
well as members of the school board, Is
said to believe that certain members of
Congress. in quoting figures to prove the
alleged excessive cost Of running the local
schools. may not have compiled their
statistics on basis which would insure
q fair statement of the comparative
cost
The Davidson statement, 1t Is said, will
take local conditions into consideration.
For this and other reasons 1t will differ
radically from any similar compilation
ever gotten out, giving more complete in
formation than that contained in similar
statistics prepared by the census bureau.
Not only will the total school costs be
comparativ expense Of maintaining the
various departments organized under the
school systems will be revealed in the
statement.

Clyde Milan, a real star, whose

the first ia games he got away
with 81 pliers and it really looks
like he had more than an even

most a cinch that he will break
the American league record of SO,
made last year by Ty Cobb.
