All is not smooth In Board ol Education maters. President Long and Architect Pel- ton aro at loggerheads over who Is to prepare specifications, etc., for the ..ha} grading of the grounds, etc. Last week, following a meeting, there was a war of words over this affair this week Mr. Long says:* “ To the astonishment of Mr. Long and at least one other member of the Board who| was present, Mr. Pelton, the architect, put In a claim that he must be consulted as to the grading. This, if true, would entitle him to five per cent. Mr. Long took issue with the architect and a heated discussion did take place between the archi tect and Mr. Long, after which the former withdrew. The Board has al ready paid the architect the enormous sum of $8,142.42 and we have said, and say again, he has not given us the service his contract calls for . And now he has the audacity to tell us wd cannot even fill in the grounds outside the building without consult ing him, which means pay him five per cent, on Its cost. “ The people entrust tbirJnti to the officials, whose duty it Is to stand between the public treasury and those who are using every device to draw money from it. “ It is easy for -officials to vote away the people ’ s money. Officials should be as careful of the people's money as they are of their own, and we venture this assertion, there Is not a member of the Board of Edu cation who would employ an archi tect to draw plans and specifications for filling in the holes on the High School grounds, if the building be longed to him, and ho had to pay Tor It. “ It is ridiculous nonsense for the architect to claim that he should be consulted. There la absolutely noth ing in the contract * to warrant and he even drew the contract blnr self. ’ \ From the above it is plain tl is not serene about the new School . DUO DEC CLUB HOLD F SIVE EUCHRE. A progressive euchre held by Duo Dec Club of ^White evening at {He home of . , Smith, was well attended and a very pleasant* evening enjoyed.

Many were heard to say that It was the best meetlng^of the kind ever held in Washington. \And those who attended were well repaid . Perhaps the magnificent audience was inspired by Dr. Ostrom. At all events his address on “ The Everyday Man' surpassed any of his previous efforts since he came to town. He held thb attention and sympathetic interest of everyone in the audience by his earnestness, his force, his originality and hla logic. And wlaat # a treat the singing was! How the grand old hymns rolled out of a thousand throats!
