FISH WHARF RULES
TO Be MADE STRICT
Commissioners Aim to Give
Purchasers More Protection
in Their Dealings.

Changes in the regulations governing
the municipal fish wharf which will af-
ford a greater measure of protection to
purchasers of marine products and wa
termelons and canteloupes are under
consideration by the Commissioners The
District assumed supervision Of the fish
wharf March /, since which time Col:
w. G. Haskell, Superintendent OF
Weights and Measures, has devoted
considerable time to the study OF the
various problems involved, with view
not only Of protecting the interests Of
the city, but of assuring consumers
that the food purchased is Of good quail
fly and reasonable in price.
Special attention is being paid to the
sale of watermelons and conteloupes,
thousands of which are landed al the
wharf at this season of the year.
With i view of preventing the sale
in small quantities of fruit which is re-
jected by the wholesalers, the Commits
sioners recently adopted a regulation
prohibiting the sale of melons in guam
titles of less than twenty-five. Today
IL was announced that this order has
been modified so as to prevent the sale
only of melons that are specked or
decayed, and that the retailing of fruit
from the boats will be permitted after
inspection by an official of the Health
Department
In their next estimates the Comuiis-
sioners will include an appropriation OF
approximately $4,000 for a modern fish
market on the site of the present insti.
tuition.

OF SCHOOL COURSE

Consultations are being held at the
Franklin School daily among Superin-
tendent Davidson, Director OF Inter

text books in the District schools.
These three officials have before them
detailed reports made by various SUD-
committees of high school principals.

No radical Innovations are being con-
sidered. 1t has been the policy Of Super
fntendent Davidson that stress be laid
on the three RS In the District
schools. and while changing conditions
sometimes necessitate adding new
branches of study, particularly In the
high schools, the emphasis IN teaching
in the grades will be laid on reading.
writing, spelling, and arithmetic, with
other ordinary branches. such as geog-
rarhy and American history.
The present consideration Of revision
is, more or less. of a routine proceed
ing and a sort of taking account Of edu-
cationaI stock. 49,
Report on the revision will be made to
the Board of Education possibly at the
August meeting, but more probably not
until September.
