tinue their education and, but for such

ORDER SNAPPY REPORTS.
District Commissioners Decide on
Curtaflment of Figures.

The next annual reports Of the

maries of the years work without
veluminous tables of figures
This has been ordered by the Dis
trict Commissioners on recommenda-
ton Of a committee of city officials.
appointed to devise ways and means
Of reducing the Districts annual
printing bill. In conclusion the re-
port of the committee states:
Your committee realizes that an
nual reports of these various branches
of the government of the District are
intended not only for the information
of Congress, but are used for statis-
teal purposes by other municipalities.
and that it is desirable to compile
information in a printed form for
such purpose. Congress, however,
has put the question of economy in
advance of the question of printing
such statistical data, and heads Of
departments should keep this in mind
and make their reports as brief as
practicable"
It also is proposed to consolidate
the reports of certain groups of de-
partments. such as the financial
offices.

want each to take up 1t also re-
quests the parents to state whether or
not they want their children to enlist

Distinctive Feature.
One of the distinctive features of the
new phamphlet is a students program
card. which will be valuable to the
new student. This program is divided
for ten-perfod school day. instead of
five. as on charts now used by high
school students. The extention OF the
periods, is due to the two-Shft SyS-
tenn. which is in operation in the high
schools to relieve conSested conditions
1t is pointed out in the pamphler that
children who wish to enter Central
High School must take English for four
years; they must choose between aige-
bra and coplmercial arithmetic; they
must choose between Latin and French
and must select the fourth major study
from among these: Ancient history, ele-
mentary science. manual training and
mechanical drawing, domestic science
and domestic art.
PWDose Of High School Stated.
The distinctive purpose of the
