DISTRICT GIVES SNUB
TO POWER COMPANY
Concern Not to Be Consulted
When Lighting System
Is Changed.

| Request by the Potomac Electric
| Power Company that it be consulted
hereafter when a change in street light
ing is under consideration will not be
| granted by the District of Columbia
| Commissioners.
| The company recently was ordered by
Walter" c. Allen, electrical engineer of
| the District to replace thrty-siX arc
! lamps on different streets and avenues
| approaching Union straton with 100
candlepOwer lamps.
| While the order was complied with.
| Charles p. King. president of the COM
pany. protested to the Commissioners on
| the ground that the are lamps We're in
| good condition and that their replacement
would cost the company more than So. I0O.
| In the future, he said. when similar or
| ders are under consideration the COM
pany should be given an opportunity to
| be heard or should he compensated for
| equipments in good condition that is or
dered removed.
Lamps Not a Loss.
| In report TO the Commissioners, Flee
trical Engineer Allen stated that the
posts on which the tllirtysiN arc lamps
referred to We're located We're not new
at the time of the installation OF the
lamps. The lamps, he said. are not a
| loss to the company. but can be used to
replace some of the inclosed arc lamps
required by law to be changed before
| April !. 13l
In short the finding of the electrical
engineer is that the loss of revenue to
| the company by reason Of the change
ordered amounts to $1GGo5 per annum
! 1t is pointed out by Mr.. Allen. however.
| that the installation of three additional
10o-candlepower lamps on u street and
| the restoration of lamps on the posts at
| the intersection of the streets with the
| plaza will more than offset this loss of
| revenue.
| Mr.. Aliens conclusions are indorsed by
! Capt Julian Schiey. assistant engineer
commissioner OF the District. who rec
commended TO the Commissioners that
! the Potomac Electric Power Conn any
! be not consulted when change i'm street
lighting is under consideIa ton. but that
Justice TO the company he considered in
the future, has been done in the past.

JOURNALISM
WILL Be TAUGHT
S DR.. BROOKS OF STATE UNI
VERSITY TALKS TO CLUSTER
OF TEACHERS SATURDAY..

DR.. S. d. Brooks, president of the
Oklahoma University, who came here
Friday, returned home at the noon
hour Saturday. At the High School
Saturday morning he talked interest
fingly to a group of teachers which
assembled about him. One of the
new features he dwelt upon which
is of interest especially to the
press is the establishment of a
school of journalism in connection
with the University. The school
will begin this year and for time
it is expected that not a great
deal will be accomplished. Two years
I. in college will be required Of each
student who enters this department.
1t will be in charge of a young
man who was reared in the news
paper field and who after several
years of practical work entered the
school of journalism in one of the
northern states and graduated from
that institution. The course will in
clude literature, banking, English,
composition, news writing, magazine
writing and a wide range of thought
and work. Men will be equipped
to write editorial thought as well
as to make news features interest
ing. Particular attention will be
paid to the newspaper style of COM
position which is well fixed in the
minds of the people. When the de-
partment is established lecturers
will be sent from the University to
different sections of the state to lec-
ture to newspaper men. The ethics
of the profession will be taught and
the school will lead to cleaner jour
nalism in the end
Dr. Brooks is greatly pleased with
the orders of the state board of ed |
'ucatlon. He says now the teachers
are not required to be constant job
hunters to hold their places and
they have to make no political over
lures to party men, but they have
been given the assurance that IL
their work is well done their posi-
tions are safe and promotions will
be made. This ruling, Dr. Brooks
states, has been worth a great deal
to the University.
