Washington University, in 1882, con-
ferred the honorary degree of doctor
of education. In his first report to
Supt. A. T. Stuart concerning his
new field of duties administered
after his own school day had been
concluded, Director Kramer said
Nothing done by the public schools
OF Washington is of more Importance
or more valuable in relation to the
amount of money expended than the
work done by the night schools" The
progress of the years only accentuates
this statement of the night schools
first director.
Problems After War.
The night schools were not the only
ones to feel the devastating hand of
the Civil War. To all of the WASH
ington schools it brought grave prob
lens. School attendance and school
buildings suffered, many of the two
room school buildings then newly
built in the four school districts, along
with certain churches had to be
pressed into service by Federal au-
thorities for use as hospitals. Louisa
M. Alcott, destined to become famous
as the author of Little Women" as
a young woman nursed in one Of
these temporary hospitals in George
town. Of necessity many schools
were quartered in Easements of
chapels, abandoned fire engine houses
and such other makeshift quarters as
were available.
The city corporation in the emer-
gency was often forced to rent school
houses and rooms in isolated, incon-
venient locations mot Of proper size
or shape, generally without play
grounds or cloak rooms, and with the
lighting, heating ventilating and all
other sanitary arrangements of q
shockingly primitive character" for a
public school system in the Nations
Capital. The whitewashing of the
ceilings and walls of these school
rooms just before their annual in
spection by the board of trustees
seems to have been a regular Spring
practice. It must be supposed that
the pupils must have enjoyed an extra
holiday while the whitewashing was
in progress.
Boys and girls, Of course, attended
separate schools, 1t being q distinct

liShed two white night schools, one
in the first district and another in
the third" This laudable move on
their part, they commented upon thus:
Here is a worthy field for the philan-
thropiSt, for how vast an influence
could be welded over hundreds of
young men who frequent hauntS of
dissipation if they could be induced
to enter temples of learning" 1t ap-
pears that the night schools continued
until about 1862. when the Civil War
brought about an interruption to
their efforts.
Nor were they established until
the school year of 1856, when the
District of Columbia bore the expense
OF lighting and heating certain build
ingS made available for the purpose.
The teachers salaries, however, were
made possible only through the civic
spirit OF an association of ladies who
so firmly believed in the merits of the
enterprise that they banded them
selves together and raised sufficient
funds to pay for a teacher for white
children in the Franklin Building and
one for colored children in the Sum-
ner School. The records at Franklin
show that "108 colored males and l24
females" availed themselves of this
privilege at the Sumner.
Spurred on doubtless by the ener-
gies of the ladies, Congress the follow
ing year appropriated the sum of
s2,50C for the support of night schools
in the District.

II Finally Became Disgracefm

IT seems TO me that Mr. Viagniskki has singled out
i quite accurately the mortal sin Of the press at
Pennington. There are, OF course, exceptions, but
many editors have betrayed lie craft they serve by
lacking confidence IN the competence 81 thelr own
stats. Personal journalism was exploited in few
vulgar instances from the yery beginning but 1t was
not until the publishers began calling all drawing
cards from the micrOphOne and the magazines that
the trial became disgraceful.
Editors ought 10 know better than that. Every
newspaper man every big story has had the happy
privilege Of watching the boys and girls from the
wrong side of the tracks stumble and fall in their
attempts 10 adapt themselves 70 factual reporting

any day or night against Nobel prize winner. The

annually editors grow panicky and summon the

II is a crime against the craft well be-
trayal Of public confidence. It's Tommy this and
Tommy that and when the guns begin TO shoot its
still Tommy this because the regular reporter finds
his nice clean city room all cluttered up with
celebrities.
And as Otter as not he is a little sore. Suppose
you we're a repC- ter and good one. And suppose
you felt that you ought get more money. To con-
tnue the fantasy. assume that the city editor has
said you've got 1t coming 10 you, Bill, only just
don't know where TO find 1t. The paper can't afford
it. As soon as a break comes you'll certainly be
