There are 1900 pupils enrolled, and

1t is recommended by the committee
that the board continue it's efforts to
secure Legislation looking to a proper
control. either District or federal, of
the private educational institutions of
the District, and that when an educa-
tional survey of the District is made

tions are renewed and the following

For Increasing Water Supply.

The committee on water supply, APP
pleton p. Clark, jr., chairman, reports
that the all-important question as to
the water supply is its sufriciency for
the future, and that it is estimated
that the consumption of water will
reach the capacity of the present sys-
tenn in the year 1880. Facts and fig
ures are given in support Of this, and
the committee thinks that the question
and manner of increasing the water
supply should be decided at once and
the work started.
The various methods proposed for in
creasing the supply are noted and dealt
with at length. The Great Falls power
development is treated as a United
States government project, and not
strictly within the scope of the COM
mittee. The committee is opposed to
any delay in providing an increased
water supply pending a consideration
of the power project 1t recommends
that the board should favor the i'm
mediate adoption and execution of a
plan for increasing the water supply.
The special committee on the history
of the District of Columbia, Charles f.
Kern, chairman, reports that the prep
aration of the second and final volume
of the history has reached the stage
that 1t is believed the copy can be sent
to the printer by the close of the cur
rent year, in which event it will be
| ready for distribution in the early
spring.

Praise for National Guard.

Praise for National Guard.
The annual report of the committee
on public order. Odell S. Smith, chair
man, praises the District National
Guard, Gen. William Z. Harvey, COM
manding. and urges the construction
of National Guard armory which
should be model to which all states
and cities might look with pride and
emulation. The report speaks in the
highest terms of the retiring chlef OF
police, Maj. Richard Sylvester, and also
of the new incumbent. Mai. Raymond
W. Pullman, and of the excellent ana
successful policing of the city under
him during the late hftleth Grand
Army encampment.
The report treats at some length of
the needs of the police and nre depart
ments, and closes with the following
recomm mendationS:
An armory for our National Guard
commensurate with the needs of our
Capital city; the hearty support OF our
board in manning and upbuflding that
guard; permanent and adequa.e re-
tirement and pension fund for our po-
lice and firemen; an increase IN the
pa trolmen of the police department; IN
crease in the pay of captains. 1euteh-
ants and sergeants or the ponce cou
solidation of all so-called ''outside men
under one head and department; cross.
ing policemen to be specially seiecteo
as to physique and fitness for their
positions.
Wider Use of Schools.
The committee on public schools
Frederick A Fenning, chairman, re-
ports the important legislation permit
ting the use of public school buildings
for community gatherings, which leg
islation the committee, with the ap-
proval of the board, assisted in secur-
ing The committee thinks that the
most important matter to which the
board can lend it's aid at this time is
the establishment of a public school
teachers retirement fund; which mat
ter has been pending for several years,
and the need for which has been con-
stantly increasing.
1t also renews the Endorsement OF
the proposition that free school BOOKS
be furnished the high school pupils un-
der the same regulations that they are
furnished pupils of the graded schools
1t further recommends a higher sched-
ule of salaries for high school prln-
cipals, and that the District Commits
sioners and the board of education be
urged to proceed with all possible speed
in securing site and new building for
the Eastern High School.

zens that which the board as whole
deems for the best interest of all.
"It has been often asked by those
who have not kept in touch with the
work of the board as to what it has
done. Without going into detail it is
proper to say in passing that sub
stantially every matter of local con-
cern and Importance having for it's OBJ
ject the making of Washington the
ideal capital of the greatest nation on

A large part of President Branden-

Mr.. Brandenburg said:
'It gives us very great pleasure to

sufficient balance to it's credit to JUS

ing the investment of S2,621.S2 in first

is to be hoped that there will be no
occasion to interfere with this invest

will be the wish of the membership
that this be preserved as the nucleus
for a fund which at a no distant day
will be sufficient to justify the board in

Puncture Cost $40.

DR.. G. G. Perry is $40 poorer this week
as result of a puncture to tire of his
big Buick car, which was encountered
on a trip to Richmond on last Sunday
morning. When the tire went down,
his son, Igo, who is an expert machani-
can, did the heavy work in changing
tires, but DR.. Perry took off his coat TO
be ready for consultation. if need be.
He had the money in hip pocket, and

Smiles and Tears.

There died last weak in Chicago girl
who was noted for her smiles. They
were not the insipid, meaningless smiles
of one who does not wish her face to be
spoiled by frowns, but the smiles of a
kind and helpful spirit. The girl who
was known and loved for her smiles
was Jewel Mary Walsh. Miss Walsh
worked in the County Recorders office.
She recently took her vacation and con-
tracted pneumonia on an outing. She
died Sunday last, and on Monday it is
said there was not dry eye among the
three hundred and fifty fellow employees
in Miss Walsh's Office. The girl who
met everyone with smile and kind
word will be missed.
A Jewel" was she. A smile woven
into the warf and wool of life is sure TO
bring tears when death lays its icy hand
upon the weaver. The person who can
lille and has pleasant word for every
body is beacon light to many weary
souls, and when the smiling lips are
stilled, cloud hangs over every human
being. Every girl who greets everyone
with a smile and kind word is sure to be
IN Used, for such are the greatest bless
ings that ever fell TO TO the lot of human
kind.

Always try to remember that when
you are laughing at u man behind his
back there are lot of men behind

The reason why father knows that
Sherman was right when he remarked
that "war is hell' is because father
has to use safety pins to fasten the
holes in the toes of his socks together
while mother Is at her club knitting
feet warmers for the men in the
trenches.
Every now and then in your wander
ings you run into a man who gives
you the impression that he is wearing
long stockings and a gauze undershirt
with baby ribbon in it.
A pimply princess with a frog face
knows that every man in town has de-
signs upon her if you will let her tell
1t, but pretty girl keeps her mouth
shut because she is ashamed to admit
that about 500 men try to firt with
her every day.

The man who can't take a joke is
mighty quick to take offense.
Why is girl with pretty little pink
ears expected to cover them up with
her hair and hide them? And why is
the man who has a pair of airship
planes growing on the sides of his
face expected to keep his hair cut
short so as to exaggerate natures gen
erosity?
