School Facilities Reduced.
1t was pointed out at the meeting
that the reason the public school chill
dren Of the section have not increased
in number during the past 10 years is
that the public school facilities have
been cut in half. Ten years ago, it was
said, there were three schools while
now only one and half schools are
available. The increase in the number
of children during the decade have
been taken care of by private school,
members of the association declared.
William A. Roberts, assistant cor

He defended the order of the utilities.

January 10 and said that it Is the only
way to operate cabs which is fair to
both operators and public.
The speaker said the rapid increase
in the number of taxicabs in the past
year was due to ineficiency of the street
car system and unemployment which
drives men without jobs to driving cabs
when no other work can be obtained.

WEST END CITIZENS
SEEK NEW SCHOOL
Plan Survey to Determine
Number of Children of School
Age in Area.

A canvass of the territory covered by
the West End Citiz ms Association to
determine the number of children of
school age in the section is being plan
ned by the association which Is cam
paigning for a new elementary school
building to replace the old u. S. Grant
School on G street between Twenty
first and Twenty-second streets.
Mrs. Belle Cutler Parker, chairman Of
of School Committee. announced at a
meeting of the civic body last night In
the George Washington University Law
School Building that the survey would
be commenced shortly.
It is hoped by the association that the
figures produced by the canvass will
show conclusively the need of the Sec
ton for a new school.
Budget Before Bureau.
Mrs. Parker reported to the meeting
that a request for a hearing before
the Board of Education made TO DR..
Frank w. Ballou, superintendent of
schools, had elected the reply that the
board already was familiar wi Il condi-
lions of the Grant School and that the
school budget for the next fiscal year is
now before the Bureau of the Budget
and cannot be changed.
Mrs. Parker urged all members of the
ASSOCIATION to work for the new school,
particularly by urging members of Con-
gress to support an appropriation for
the project.
The Scnool Committee chairman
read a letter from Robert D. Lyons,
president of the association, III which
he estimated the number of school chill
dren in the West End area at between
1854 and 1883. This estimate. the

years. Particular stress has been laid
upon the art of living men, and in this
sense of contemporary representation

of its kind in the country.

A Star in the West

THERE'S a star in the west that
i shall never go down
Till the record of valor decay;
We must worship its light though
it is not our own,
For liberty burst in its ray.
Shall the name Of a Washington
ever be heard
By freeman, and thrill not his
breast?
d there one out of bondage that
halls not the word
Az the Bethlehem Star Of the
il West?
IA, HIS laurels were pure! and
~ his patriot name
In the page Of the future shall
dwell.
And be seen in all annals, the fore
most in fame,
By the side of Hotter and Tell.
The truthful and honest, the wise
and the good,
Among the Britons have nobly
confessed
That his was the glory, and ours
was the blood,
Of the deeply stained fields of
the West.

was Sir Johns description.
Besides this, he has no son,
daughter, brother or sister, so that
his ambition must be limited to him
self. Charles II owed his kingdom
to the personal application of Monk,
delivered by one of Monks own
friends.
'Might not the ministers, treating
by the kings command, or the king
himself, write a private letter to
Washington to remind him Of the
similarity between his situation and
Monks, desiring him to ask terms
for America fair and just, and they
should be granted, and that the terms
for himself should be the dukedom

Jonathan Boucher. Baltimore, writing
November 81, 1775.
81 know him we'll and can say of
him what can Of few Of his COM
peers: That believe him an honest
man." says Boucher in a letter dis
cussing the Colonies. "In a military
line it is not possible his merit can
be considerable. He will, however,
atone for many dement's by the ex-
traordinary GOODNESS and caution
which distinguishes his character.
With but little personal experience
and still less reading, a thousand diff

should be piled with these; I mean

satisfied he is defenseless."
Urges Purchase With Honors.
Writing in 1880, when much of the

Of all time. Philip Henry Sheridan
was his name but American tradition
has preserved his memory in two
nicknames which his devoted follow
ers gave him-"Fighting Phil" and
''Little Phil" And like another
horseman Of an earlier war, Paul
Revere of the Revolution, Phil Sher-
idan, the dashing cavalryman of
the Civil war, owes some of the
perpetuation of his name and fame
to a poem-Thomas Buchanan Reads
"Sheridan's Ride"
While Sheridan was still child his
parents moved to Ohio and settled
near Somerset in Perry county. There
his boyhood and youth were spent I'M
der frontier conditions with its neces-
sity for hard work by all members Of
the family and it's limited opportuni-
ties for education. There the charac-
teristics of his later life became evil
dent early. Young Sheridan worked
for a country storekeeper for the sum
Of so cents q week, and although his
employer testified to the fact that he
was a faithful worker, he also COM
mented upon the fact that what time
the boy wasn't working he was "talkin'
soldier or playin' soldier"
At the age of seventeen Sheridan
had the good fortune to secure an ap-
pointment to West Point, and although
his limited education made the work
there unusually difficult for him, he
made fairly good record at the acad-
envy. However, he lived up to his
"scrappy" reputation by having such
q fight with a fellow cadet that he
was suspended for year, and instead
of being graduated In the class of
1852, as he should have been, he was
not graduated until 1853 and then he
stood No. 81 in class of so.
Following his graduation and ap-
pointment as a second lieutenant in
the infantry, Sheridan spent the next
eight years in comparative obscurity.
He was detailed to service on the
frontier and in various parts of the
West saw service against the Indians,
which not only afforded him good
training with the dragons for his
future career as cavalryman but also
gave him an insight into the Indian
character which was to be particularly
valuable during the Plains wars after
the conflict of 1S61-65.
The outbreak of the Civil war, how
ever, gave Sheridan his chance to dis
play the genius which was to give him
his place among the great cavalry
leaders of the world. Detailed first
on the staff of General Halleck at
st. Louis, he soon attracted atten-
ton by his capacity for detail, his
energy and his unfailing devotion to
duty, and these qualities resulted In
his appointment as colonel of the Sec
ond Michigan cavalry. Only a few
weeks later he was elevated to the
grade of brigadier general of the Unit
ed States Volunteers. That was in
1862, and by the end of the year he
had been placed in command of di-
vision and given his commission of
major general. And all of this had
happened when he was but thirty-two
years of age.
Sheridan's record during the first
