Extension of the Street Plan.

The proposition now is to preserve much
OF this magnificent street plan, the grand
est in the world, and to extend 1T to a
considerable degree over the District
outside of Washington under a method
OF extension dn some respects more un-
justly oppressive to the inhabitants of
the federal District than the arrange
ment OF which the original property own
ers complained The latter were required
to give land for the streets. but they
were recompensed in part for their gifts
by the understanding, afterward violated,
that the donated streets should be OPEN
at the expense of the nation.
Had Old Washington realized that the
nation would disregard it's implied agree
ment and throw the expense of street
development almost entirely upon indi-
vidual citizens 1t would never have con-
sented to dedicate for street purposes
more than half Of the total area of the
city, and the new Washington. beyond
when invited to develop the extravagant
and expensive but magnificent street
plan of great National Capital with
the feeble, unaided resources of a scat
tered suburban population, which in it's
natural development would never dream
of dedi eating to the public and of main
tanning and improving at it's own eX-
pense a street area that would take out
of the market and render not only un-
productive but a source of direct and
heavy outlay over one-third of the en-
tire suburban city.
The large owners OF unsubdivided land
in the District outside of Florida avenue
will doubtless readily donate to the pub
lie the necessary streets, just as their
predecessors did at the founding Of the
city. They will not even exact the un-
derstanding had with the original pro-
prietors-that the cost of improving these
streets shall fall exclusively or largely
on the nation. They will be content it,
being annexed to Washington, the do
mated thOroughfares are treated in the
same way as all other Washington streets
and are developed under the act of 1878
on the half-and-half basis. But the own
ers of lots in the belt of misfit subdi-
visions intervening between the original
city and the unsubdivided land and the
owners of small plots in such unsubdi-
vided land, whose property, under extern
sion bills, will be either all taken in
streets or so mutilated as to be rem
dered practically valueless. occupy a
different position Why should they give
to the public, they ask, that for which
t..ey have paid cash with no resulting
benefits, even indirect to themselves
from the transaction? Clearly they must
be compensated for their land taken for
public uses. and just as clearly If the
land is to be thrown into Washington s
grand plan Of street and made part
of the capital the financial treatment ap-
piled by law to the old must also be ap-
piled to the new streets of the nation S

sequent support of it out Of their own
funds would ever have dreamed Of form
Ing such a plan. At that period neither
the government nor the proprietors con-
templated that the whole or even a large
proportion of the burden should be
thrown upon the Inhabitants of the
city.
The streets were not only oppressive
from their size and extent in their orig
inal formation, but they will from the
same cause continue to be an unending
source Of expense in their repair. They
must annually cost nearly double the
amount of streets of the same length of
moderate dimensions. The government
which created this condition of things
ought not be very deaf to the complaints
of those upon whom such burden has
fallen.

HOME LESSONS GET A "WAL-
lOP."
School Head Says They Cause Olsre
spect and immortality.

Providence.-Home study which oc-
cupies the evening hours OF pupils
and prevents their proper association
with parents was declared to be the
cause, in part, of parental disrespect
and immortality. by William Weiner,
principal of the Central Commercial
and Manual Training high school of
Newark. n. j., in an address before
the 69th annual session of the Rhode
Island Institute of Instruction. Prin-
cipal Weiner said:
Under present conditions OF les
son assignment the conscientious
children come from play to the even
ing meal, hurriedly swallow that, and
then work on books until bed time.
In this way not only do they menace
their health, but they lose the asso-
citation with parents and the necessary
appreciation Of family relations and
interests. To this is, in my judg-
ment, partly to be attributed the chill
dren's rampant disrespect for par
ents and elders, who cannot under
stand or know their offspring because
OF lack of association. Farther,
believe that the present undercurrent
OF immortality in the lives OF boys
and girls is, in part. due to this loss
of parental association and the lack
OF the moral influence Of the family"
