trict of Columbia vote ?-Residents OF
the District of Columbia have no vote,
The district was established as the
seat Of the United States government
by acts of congress in 1890 and 1871.
Until 1871 there were three govern
ments in the district Georgetown
under a mayor and city council, the
part originally laid cut as the city OF
Washington under commissioners, and
the remainder of the district under the
justices of the Levy Court. These
three governments were abolished
June 1, 1871, and the whole district
was placed under territorial form of
government entitled the District OF
Columbia" with governor, council,
house of delegates, secretary and
boards of health and public works.
This form of government was abolish
ed by congress, June 20, 1874, and a
temporary government, consisting of
three commissioners appointed by the
president, was organized in its place.
This government continued until July
/, 1878, when, by an act of congress,
approved June II the same year, it
was succeeded by the present perma-
nent form of municipal government,
in which the principal executive power

not sorely pressed for classrooms and for teach
ers to take care of the young men and women
who are thirsty for knowledge. Surely, they
would not be rushing to the institutions of high
er learning if they were not convinced that q
college education pays handsomely in the long
run.
It is noticeable that DIR. Butler places "cor-
rectness and precision in the use of the mother
tongue" as the first requisite of truly educated
person, One need not go to college to acquire
this accomplishment. The best place to learn it
is at home. If parents avoid slang, eliminate
loose construction, and speak correct English the
children will easily absorb the rudiments of
proper usage. If this were done teachers would
not be compelled to devote many hours to the
task of eliminating expressions such as them
are no good" II don't want no candy etc. The
habit of using correctly the mother tongue
should be inculcated at home by precept and ex-
ample.
Gentility of manner and sound standards of
feeling and appreciation also are attainments
that can be acquired at home. The home is the
place to teach refinement and culture that ma
ture into appreciation of the good and beautiful
and manifest themselves in proper conduct and
lofty bearing.
The power of reflection and of growth are
accomplishments, which, if taught at home and
developed in school and college, give to the man
and woman an undeniable ability to forge ahead.
In this particular, all of us have much to learn.
Calm reflection, from which emanates balanced
judgment, is something in which many of us are
woefuly deficient. We jump at conclusions
without testing facts, and pass judgment with
out investigating evidence We prone to
accept any theory or program of conduct and
action that has an alluring appeal. Too often we
rush pe-mell into an enterprise without exam
ining it's details carefully estimating what its
ultimate conclusions may be-.
Efficient action without nervous agitation
also is a lesson we may learn with profit to our
selves. Efficiency does not imply the necessity
of balyhoo shouter to advertise it's presence
Neither does it come by way of denuncation of
everything that has preceded it. It is the out:
come of thought, Of study of reflection 1t is
the result of careful analysis, of painstakine
synthesis, of mature deliberation.
