tional education

Virginia r. MCGUIRE was appointed by
the judges of the court to succeed Mrs.

Bundy School to Open.
The only buildings in this list which
will be open and ready for occupancy
at the opening of school are the Bundy
School and the Cleveland addition.
The Bundy School has been inspected
by the Board Of Education, which will
authorize the school officials to occupy
this building as soon as it has been
formally accepted from the contractor
and turned over to the board for use
It is expected that the addition to the
Cleveland School will be completed
and formal inspection made by the
board in suficient time to occupy the
addition at the opening of school.
As the information indicates, some
of these buildings will be completed
and occupied before the end of the
school year, 1889. and some Of them
will be completed after that date. The
school system is greatly in need of ad-
ditional schoolhouse accommodations
and it is encouraging to observe that
congressional committees are becoming
increasingly convinced of that fact
Moreover. 1t Is a source of genuine
satisfaction to those responsible for
the school system that the District Is
now permitted by law to participate in
Federal funds for building construc-
ton. School authorities have sub
mitted to the Commissioners list of
building projects to be financed out of
P. w. A. funds totaling approximately
five and quarter million dollars. A
considerable number of school build
ings have been approved by the Secre-
tary of the Interior and plans are
being prepared for their construction.
The clerical and secretarial work Of
the public school system is performed
by a staff of 112 clerks This number
remains the same in 1883, since no
new clerical positions were appropri-
ated for in the Appropriation Act for
1899.
The custodial staff of 735 employees
in 1888 was increased in the Appro-
priations Act for 1889 by six positions.
Teachers Shifted Gradually.
In 1878 there were salaries for
3079 teachers. The Appropriations
Act for 1899 carries IA additional sal
aries for colored elementary schools.
Annually the teaching staff is de-
pleted by death, resignation and re-
tirement. The positions thus left va
cant and the new positions for the
coming year will be filled by the ap-
pointment of qualified persons who

for 300 more students than were en-
rolled at the university last year, when
there was a total Of more than l,4OO

come so popular that the early morn
