NEARLY ONE THOUSAND MORE
Enrollment in Schools Exceeds Fig.
nres of September, 1912.

Nearly 1000 more boys and girls are
enrolled in the white public schools
today than were enrolled at this date
last wear, according to figures COM
n,led today by Ernst L. Thurston, as
sistant superintendent. in charge OF
white schools. The increase in the
high schools is considered of unusual
note by the school heads.
Last year the high schools had an
tendance of 1893; this year the rec
orS took a Jump to 1851. The grade
school enrolment this year is 30.13l.
while last year at this time it was
only 29,477. The enrolment OF the
white normal school shows a slight de-
crease. being 142. as against an en-
rollment last year of $50.
The attendance record for the week ss
just closed-the frst week OF sns

south OF this on which was erected two
story brick house which, like the other,
was underpinned. and in the fifties Capt.
C. w. c. Huntington Of the Capitol police
resided here.
In 1915 William Wurdeman, a mathe-
NAUTICAL instrument maker. who had re-
sided on B street east of Delaware avenue
bought lot No. /, square $685. at the north
west corner of street and that avenue
on which he first erected a handsome
frame cottage and later the corner was
occupied by a three-story brick factory In
which Mr.. Wurdeman manufactured MANY
instruments for the observatory and the
coast survey, as well as for private par
ties.
About 1915 James Crutchett came to
this city and took up a residence in the
house lately occupied by the National
Herb Company and the Kretol Company,
north of No. ! truck house. and lived
there for some years. This house had
been occupied by Mrs. Bacon and own
ed by George Scott. who sold 1t to w.
w. Stewart. and these houses constitut-
ed all the improvements up to that time
Mr.. Crutchet. subsequently bought much
of the property in adjoining squares. and
moved to the house at the northeast cor
ner of North Capitol and c streets and
the house was later occupied by N. M
McGregor, a dealer in furniture, and
Mrs. Murray as a boarding house.
Mr.. Crutchett was an ex-purser of the
English navy. and always wore more OF

B. & o. Station Gives Impetus.
The location of the Baltimore and
Ohio station at New Jersey avenue and
n street in 1852 gave some impetus to
building. In 1913. in anticipation of the re
moval of the station. Thomas H. Parsons
who for many years was agent for the
company here. bought on Delaware ave
me and erected the large three-story
building now owned by Mr.. Van Ness OF

II either the Britten bill or the Adamson
bill goes into effect no more bovines un-
der two years OF age may be slaughtered
for interstate shipment. Consequently.

ton and kill then-all right, go ahead!
But no one in Washington goes in for
the calf-raising business. The ranges
and meadows are not extensive enough.
One good sized calf with a healthy ap-
petite could eat up all the hydrangeas
in the average Washington front yard IN
about two hours. 1t would not pay.
Therefore, Washington. on account OF
the restricted size of the District OF Co
lumbia, would be the only city In the
country where one could not get a
wiener schnitzel with tomato sauce. The
veal chop would be a thing of the past,
and the veal pie would no longer grace
the table Of the workingman. Verify,
Congress is discriminating against the
National Capital.

COLORED PEDAGOGUES
DISCUSS THEIR WORK
DR.. Davidson and Other
School Officials Discuss,
Cooperation.

"Co-operation'' was the big theme at a
meeting Of all the colored teachers in the

High School today. Henry P. Blair.
president of the board OF education; DR..
William M. Davidson, superintendent of

sistant superintendent in charge of col
ored schools; Mrs. Caroline w. Harris.

were speakers.
DR.. Davidson said that in the funda-
mental principles Of education all educa
tors were agreed and that their diner
ences were only in the application Of the
details. He declared that no esprit de
corps existed which was quite so fine
as that among teachers. This. he said,
was due to the responsibilities which
they shared.
Chance for Colored Youth.
President Blair believed the colored
youth of this city. should give good
account of themselves" as they were
given opportunities greater than those
enjoyed by colored children anywhere
that the policy of the board in affording
equal facilities for white and colored chill
dren would be continued. :
Capt. oyster spoke OF his continuing
interest" in the schools, and reminded
the teachers and officials that they
would always find him ever ready to
serve them.
Get Advanced Standing.
Mr. Bruce explained that the Univer-
sity of Chicago has allowed an adj
vanced standing to graduates of Nor
NAL School No. 2. and added that the
officials of Howard University had a
similar plan under consideration.
With these additional opportunities
Mr.. Bruce said he hoped more teachers
would take the opportunity of further
ing their education.
Mrs. Harris emphasized the need OF
teachers exemplifying in themselves
the things which they taught. She
said they should always strive to set
a good example.
DR.. Marshall complimented the teach
ers on the progress which. he says. has
been made in the colored schools. and
spoke of the spirit of cooperation ex-
listing.
DR.. Childs emphasized the need for
proper discipline and respect for au-
thority. He also discussed the voca-
tional schools and the department OF
business practice in the colored schools

on New Jersey avenue. was probably the

the building recently known as Bailey's

erected his plant and brewed his beer

| Mr.. Altman had a saloon on East Capitol
street and B. Shadd had built up a
reputation for Philadelphia beer at the
corner of Sd street and Pennsylvania
avenue. Mr.. Juenemann also kept a

adjoining ground he established summer
garden in which there was a fine spring
of water.

LINE PLANS
BETTER FREIGHT SERVICE
New. Schedules Between Capt.
tai and Baltimore Are
Announced.

Taking advantage Of the opportunity
afforded by the discontinuance of store
door delivery and collection Of freight in
this city by the Baltimore and Ohio and
the Pennsylvania railroads, announce
ment has been made by the Washington,
Baltimore and Annapolis electric rail-
way that 1t will inaugurate a new
freight service between Baltimore and
Washington.
Ohicials Of the railway company say
that the service Is the result of numer-
GUS. suggestions which they have re-
ceived from Baltimore and Washington
business men since the railroads discon-
tinued the store-door delivery and collec-
ten system.
Cars carrying freight will leave Balti-
more for Washington at g am, 1 pm.
and pm. They will not start from
the Baltimore terminal. but will be load
ed at the freight terminal of the road
Eutaw. The freight will he delivered al
the Washington terminal at 18th and H
streets northeast one hour and fifteen
minutes after leaving Baltimore.
Outbound Schedule.
Cars will be operated from the Wash
ington terminal at $50 am. and $3.50
p.m., arriving In Baltimore at 1O:45 a. m.
and 4:45 pm. Shipments will be ac-
cepted at the terminals at any hour Of
the day or night. Rates have been fixed
on eight classes of freight
One advantage of the system. say Off
Gals of the company, is that a Washing
ton merchant can telephone an order to
Baltimore and receive his goods the same
day. Arrangements have already been
made by number of Baltimore mer-
chants to ship to this city large guam
titles of meats and perishable goods as
well as merchandise. The service is ex-
pected to augment the volume Of busi-
ness between the two cities.
Plans for eniarging the freight termi-
nal on Lombard street have already been
completed. Additional freight cars have
also been purchased.
1t is believed the freight terminal at
18th and III streets northeast is sufficient
ly large enough to handle the increased
shipments, and that no additions will be
necessary for the present.
