CONSTITU1IONAL AMENDMENT IN NORTH


The people of North Carolina, following the
example of Arkansas, Virginia, and other
Southern States, have set about the work of
remodeling the Constitution given to them
during the Reconstruction period and the
adoption of which was made a condition pre-
cedent to the rehabilitation of their State in
the Union. If this work is done in
the proper spirit, as it has been in the
other States we have named, it cannot
be open to any reasonable objection.
The impcrfectons of many of these Recon-
structon Constitutions were pointed out by
The TRIBUNE at the time of their adoption,
and have since been generally acknowledged.
They could hardly have been otherwise than
imperfect. The authors were too often def
cicnt alike in theoretical knowledge. Observa-
ton, and practice of the science of govern
ment; loyalty To the Union and acceptance of
the results of the civil war were their only
qualifications for office. Many of them were
newly emancipated illitcrate, and mas
tered by prejudice against a large por-
ton of their fellow citizens, which was
natural indeed, but none the less dcploiable
on that account. Others were intelligent and
to some extent educated, but new citizens of
the States whose organic law they were to
frame; and Others again Were mere adyen-
turers who having acquired their seats by
pandering to the prejudices of the lowest class
of voters and manipulating primary meetings
in their own interest, directed all their cner-
gies to the perpetuation of their own power
and the opening of State treasures for their
own dishonest purposes. Nor did the better
class of citizens have an OPPORTUNITY of
saying whether they would accept
the instruments thus FASH ed =, 4

gests wisely enough that the treatment of tho
puDil should be matter of frank and thought
full consultation between the physician and
teacher
So far as Miss Bracket carries her subject
she does it with excellent reason and discrc-
ton. Her conclusions deserve to be studied
and adopted by all teachers and patrons OF
private schools. But beyond the private school
she does not apparently go-she suggests no
cure for the fatal defects Of the public
schools, which so greatly exceed the private
schools in number and attendance. IL is Of
course, utterly impossible that the teachers
in large school of this class should under
stand the home conditions or study the pathO-
logical state of their crOwding pupils. Every
recent investigation in public school hygiene
has ended in deplOrable reports. Wretched
ventilation, heating, and lighting, school-rOoms
far too crowded, and desks which con-
strain the pupils to keep unhealthful
positions, show the grave blunders in school
architecture and furnishing directly attributa-
BILE to hort-sgbted committees, and in some
cases to the higher municipal authorities. But
for defects equally serious-the irrcguarity in
daily physical exercises, the refusal to permit
frequent CEdnEtS VI poNhioh, 'hO '""S WI
sions, and the folly which imposes
an almost unmanageabe number of pupils
upon n teacher-we must censure foOiishly
imperfect school system, and, in measure,
the teachers themselves. The smoothest apol-
ogist for the system cannot deny that it gives
no worthy place to hygiene. Indeed the re-
cent inquiries into the sanitary condition OF
schools in various States and cities have not
yet effected reforms decided enough to
allow us to say that the question OF
health enters in the least into that system IL
is no wonder that Americans are not as a rule
a robust and rich-bloOded race. Miss Brack-
EFT tcstiiies, and with cause, to the ili-hcalth
of the private school clientage, and glance
at the thin and sallOw visage of the average
public school pupil shows as much the results
of the false building and false methods OF
the school as it does the results of wrong
home-living. 1t is sad and bad enough that
the almost universal ignorance as to the ways
of making that home-living healthful
should work havoc with the constitutions
of the young Americans. For this there is
probably little remedy save the years which
bring wisdom. But of the grieyOus errors
caused by the stupidity and thOughtlessness OF
school authorities there could be and should
be Immediate correction. Physicians Of ability
and experience are constantly revealing them
and catalOguing their consequences. Only an
inexcusabe shiftlessness will permit them to
continue

LIFE And DEITH IN THE SCHOOL-ROOM
An eager mind in Il sound body makes the
ideal pupil, who in his turn inspires and draws
out the best capacities of the competent
teacher. That an unnecessarily large proper
ton of children never attain this condition Is
an unpleasant fact The causes OF this failure,
in SO far as the pupils of private schools
are considered, are earnestly and simply given
by Miss Anna &. Bracket in a paper lately
read before the American Institute of lnstruc-
ton. AS an accomplished and thorough
teacher of long experience her conclusions
carry weight. She is convinced that the chief
reasons for the ill-heath of school children
are to be found in the false home
living, in insufficient clothing or sleep,
in rich OF poorly cooked food, and in
wrong mental habits. With this conviction
In which there lies great deal of truth and
common scnse-she naturally resents the in
justice which lays upon the shoulders of the
teacher the whole burden of the pupils want
of health, and which, instead of practically re-
pairing the waste, takes the child from school
on the plea OF overstudy. As remedy for
the injustice and the illness together, she sug-

For the latest thing in the curved line OF beauty
commend us to the bow of the period. The young
man about town, when he is about to salute an ac-
quaintance sezes his hat firmly at the front, and.
fixing his in its position. swings back his elbow.
usng the shoulder as pivot, and keeping the angle
unchanged between the fore and upper arm, until
the hand touches the breast. Here the first motion
ceases. The second consists in retracing with re-
ly;ous care the line of the first. The elbow sinks
and rises along the of the pendulum. the hat
reaches the head and the bow deferential, conse.
quentia or potential is concluded. The ara
described by the hat is just such a quadrant az
rounds the surface of the domes of the new Post
Office Another proof of the influence of the mighty
and militant Mulett, who has not only made archb
lecture an abortion and proved himself the Admir-
able Crichton of American profanity, but has thus
left his diminutive impress on tho very manners Oh
the time. When the Mullett movement is executed
with proper precision by number of young boods
in military line, the accumulated shoulder-bladea

tremc. 1t is the poetry of the pump-hand!e the

A collection, published elsewhere, of curious
facts showing the growth of Newton City in
altitude, calls attention to peculiar feature
of metropolitan development worth the study
of others than architects While the rapid ex-
tension of the city northward to and beyond
Harlem River has amazed those most sangline
of our future, it is shown also that the lower
part of the city has been rapidly growing sky
ward. This is unique stionaby owing TO the
great and steadily increasing value of every
foot of land in the narrow portion of the
island which is given up wholly to business.
The facilities for reaching high elevations and
the overcoming Of once strong prejudice
among both architects and owners against high
buildings have possibly been other incentives {;
but the great impulse to this peculiar develop
mcnt is the high cost of land and the facility
of doubling its productive power by doubling
the number of stories in the houses built upon it.

Commissioner Smith might better have kept

Associated Press to telegraph in order to break
the force of Prof. Marsh's letter to the Pres-

simply statement of what we knew before,
that he had tried to get Prof. Marsh's
charges quietly into his own hands and
had failed. If the Commissioner will
again look over the very complete and
unhandy document which we printed yester-
day, he will find the precise reasons why the
Professor did not put the charges into his

he did not do so. first, because he has no con-
