EdmeatfoE LIN Vital.
Education is the most important
enterprise in which Democratic gov
ernments engage. From 25 20 SO per
cent OF the total expenditures for
municipal purposes in cities of the
United States Is spent for public edu-
cation. The community Is more di-
rectly interested in public education
than In any other single activity, be-
cause the system of public education
concerns itself with every boy and
girl in the community between the
ages of approximately 6 and Is. No
other public enterprise is OF so vital
concern to the present and future
welfare of any community as It's
public school system, except possibly
public health
The public school system is undertake
ing to provide appropriate. adequate and
efficient education for 1853 pupils, of
whom 5S,S3s are in the elementary
schools. 12,177 in the high schools and
56s in the normal schools These pupils
attend school In 140 elementary school
buildings. 15 high and junior high school
buildings and 2 normal school buildings.
The Engineer Commissioner reports
that these 156 buildings cost S14.481.-
7S0.57 when constructed. He has esti-
mated that to replace them with the
type OF f1reproof construction now used
would cost 41.73S,306.60. The cost Of
the sites for these buildings was

nually to heat them and 419 laborers,
coalpassers. firemen, janitors and en-
gineers to take care of them. Two thou

and school officers are required to pro-
vide and supervise the education Of
these pupils. The total school budget for
the fiscal year 1874 ss,ss5,215.
Running the Sol system is not

Since 1908 additional buildings
have become unit for further use.
OF those buildings the Smothers, a
four-room building, has been replaced.
the one-room Chain Bridge Road

AN appropriation has likewise been
made and a contract let for the con-

Furthermore, the first eight-room
unit of 16-room building necessary
TO replace the Tenley School Is now
