The School Inventory.

1t is probably all very well to ask the
teachers of the public schools to turn In
inventories of the property in their care,
advisable to go as far as the infinite null
titude of details asked Of the teachers in
this connection by the recent orders.
Judging from accounts which The Star
has received of this stock-taking, it has
been of a most exhaustive and even ex-
hausting description. One cannot fail to
sympathize with the teacher who, after
struggling all day with a class Of restless
pupils. with occasional Interruptions for
discipline and with perhaps none too sat
isfactory a display of familiarity with the
lessons, must work for hours measuring
desks. counting pens. pencils and pieces
Of chalk, decanting ink, measuring and
infinitely cataloguing books and in the
most microscopic detail putting on paper
a report OF every physical thing contained
within the four walls of the schoolroom
Just why the information was required
in such infinite precision and specihca.
ton is not easily imagined 1t would
seem to be well enough to have the
teachers tell how many desks there were
and the number Of chairs and other arti.
cles Of furniture and the number and t.
ties of the text books in her charge. Blu,
as for minute description of everything
which orders called for, 1t seems like lum
bering the records. besides consuminl

amended specifications having been drawn
with view of bringing the prospective
cost within the limit of the appropriation.
If meanwhile both houses of Congress
have not acted In prohibition of the con-
struction Of this building according to the
present design there will be no occasion
whatever for any further delay short of
another showing of excessive bids. Not
even the action of one OF the two houses
Of Congress in this direction would war
rant any checking of the work Those
who are opposed to the construction of
the Central High School building in &C
cordance with these plans, perhaps hop
ing for a division Of the appropriation
between the Central and another high
school, have had ample time to modify
the initial legislation and cannot expect
the project to be held up indefinitely. Not
alone on account of the Central High
School, building for which on the pro-
posed large scale is urgently needed, but
in behalf Of consistent progressive Dis
trict legislation should this effort to undo
what has already been done be defeated.
To hold up the Central High School prof.
ect now on the possibility of its recon-
sideration by congress at some indefinite
date in the future is altogether inexcus-
able.

Niceties of District Legislation.

If the preliminaries of District legis-
lation on the House side are to be at
tended consistently with fistic features,
such as that of yesterdays hearing on
the free-rides BILL it is only just that the
,Inderst anding be perfect. Sudden shifts
of policy are disconcerting and tend to
q serious confusion of issues. There Is
no safe middle ground of indecision in
matters of this kind. Representatives of
District interests who appear before the
committee are entitled to a definite decla-
ration of the proper course of procedure,
so that they may not be taken unawares
and put at serious disadvantage.
Otherwise they might waste time pre-
pairing verbal arguments when their most
useful training would have been in a
gymnasium. and on the other hand ath-
letic exercises to the end of enforcing
g. doubtful point and making an impress
sion upon the legislative mind would be
valueless if the consideration is pitched
in a key of logic and reason. Mean
while congratulations are due to the
principals of yesterdays bout for the
comparatively innocent outcome of their
illuminating discussion of the merits of
the matter under consideration. APP
parently nothing has been lost save tenn
Per, cuticle and incidentally a hat, all of
which may be recovered. And surely no
more edifying spectacle has been known
before in the history of the Districts
relations with Congress.

A Great Falls Park.

The suggestion made before the Column
bia Historical Society at the meeting last
night by Mr.. a. B. Casselman that a
public park be created around the Great
Falls Of the Potomac is worthy of earnest
consideration, especially in view of the
proposed utilization of the Potomac river
power for municipal purposes. If the
plans now before Congress for such an
engineering work are adopted it will be
desirable from every point of view to
preserve the land Immediately adjoining
the river. The lake created by the dam
which it is proposed to erect below the
falls will of itself be a. most impressive
addition to the attractions of the Ma
tional Capital environs. But even though
the dam were not built for the utiliza-
ton of the water power, it is highly
desirable to reserve as a park the land
around the falls. which constitute the
most conspicuous natural feature in this
vicinity. Furthermore, there should be
some protection for the water supply, i'm
pounded above the falls. A long strip
of park area extending from below the
projected power dam to some point above
the water supply dam will afford this
protection. and would at the same time
make one of the most attractive parks in
the word. The cost of this would not be
too great for consideration and the value
received would be incalculable.

Instead Of Orphanages.
From the Chicago Post.

From the Chicago Post.
There are no orphans in Australia, and,
as one would expect in those circum-
stances, there are no orphanages, either.
AS a matter of fact, however, 1t was the
abolition Of orphanages and not the lon
geyfty OF parents that led to this desirable
consummation for the bereaved children
of that country. Every Australian child
who loses its parents is taken In hand
by the State Children's Council, and that
body finds, on a farm or in town.
a married couple who are willing to adopt
the child, the state bearing the expense.
The idea is due to the efforts OF two
private individuals, Miss Clark and a
Miss Catherine Spence. who, when South
Australia was small community, under
took to find homes for some destitute
children Of Adelaide.
Similar activities have been started in
America by private individuals and So
cieties-such as the Illinois Children
Home and Aid Society. and to a
very limited extent by state action in
Indiana-but in Australia the government
has gone very systematically to work to
enlarge the idea and back 1t up with full
social control Of the destinies of the
child. Paid travelling inspectors and vol
untary local inspectors. government ply
stcians and special police officers see that
the privilege Of boarding the wards of
the state is not abused For the state ia
the father and mother OF these children,
and its parerrtage Is so actual thing
that the word orphan is no longer part
of the living vernacuiar OF Australia.

which. through lack of time to give
direct attention to the work. was forced
to delegate it to a quasi official body
responsible to it and working through
the medium of its authority. Even this
mode of regulation brought good re-
suits, and now the newly created
utilities commission assures the public
over the lines, with such occasional
new legislation as experience may
prove necessary to supplement that al
ready enacted. to the end of yielding
a maximum of service with a minimum
of cost to the people.
To undertake municipal ownership is to
substitute for a few hundred stockhold-
ers. who have invested their money in
good faith and on the expectation of I'M
interrupted ownership. as many stock
holders as there are taxpayers. If the
purchase price takes into account the
actual cost of the plants as they stand,
after years of experiments and evolu-
tionary changes-which it probably
would not in case Of condemnation-there
will be no net earnings to turn into the
District treasury for much longer
period than the thirty years named IN
the Crosser bill If the cost of the evo-
lutionary process, represented in the In
vestment of the stockholders as 1t stands
today, is ignored and the purchase price
is fixed at the physical value of today,
great injustice is done to the present
owners, and the stockho'di section OF
the community must suffer from the
loss.
A full consideration of the Crosser
bill. especially if the experiences OF
other cities are studied, will probably
lead to the conclusion that the DIS
trict, already well served. is under the
watchful care of the public utilities
commission sufficiently assured OF fu-
ture improvements. without trying the
doubtful experiment of public owner

A Municipal Ownership Plan.

Interesting information should be gained
by the House District subcommittee
which is soon to give hearings on tie
Crosser bill providing for the ownership
and operation of street railway companies
by the District. This measure proposes
that the District government shall pur-
chase, by direct negotiation or condem-
nation. the street railway systems now
in operation here, issuing for this pur-
pose bonds running for thirty years,
bearing interest at Sla per cent The
District Is then to operate the lines as
municipal activity under the direction OF
the public utilities commission. The bonds
are to be retired by means Of a sinking
fund provided from the earnings of the
street railways, which also will pay the
interest. Thus as the bill Is drawn it
is designed that the street railways are
in thirty years to pay for themselves and
to provide meanwhile for all maintenance
and betterments ard presumably for ex-
tensions. In thirty years naturally the
street railway system of today would be
replaced not once, but perhaps several
times in all the physical plant.
The proposal of municipal ownership is
inspired by a desire either to improve the
service to the public or to make money
for the municipality by turning the prof
ifs into the District treasury. The terms
of the Crosser plan for financing the ac-
