Five Thousand Dollars for School
Ventilation.


Ventilation.
If the Board of Education is really anxious
to discover the best system of ventilation
for school buildings why does it not do SO
Several years ago sum Of money-five
thousand dollars, we believe-was allotted
the Commissioners for this purpose. They
certainly do not mean to say that the amount
is not large enough to experiment with, for
with the hues and dir connections that al
ready exist in many school buildings there
could be a dozen different systems tried at
an outlay not exceeding five thousand dol
lars. There is no mystery or magic about
ventilation; the whole business consists in
constantly exhausting vitiated air and sup
plying it's place from the pure atmosphere
out of doors. There are several ways of
sucking or driving bad air out of rooms,
and either of them, when in operation,
compels the admission of air from outside.
Other systems depend upon forcing pure
air into the rooms and driving out that
which is bad. 1t would be matter of great
satisfaction to know which of these methods
is the best, but as none of them are bad and
most Of them are cheap they should be
tested to the full extent of the appropria-
ton. It is barely possible that the Board
hesitates because none of its members or
employees are competent to decide upon the
relative merits of ventilating systems, but
if this is the case small portion of the ap-
preparation would secure the services of
specialists such as the legal custodians of
other large buildings are not above employ
ing. The Board will be everlastingly dis
graced if, through its incompetence and
carelessness, this appropriation has to be
recalled to the treasury because no use is
being made of it.

Lords Beaconsfeld and Lytton, and so far

Lords Beaconsfield and Lytton, and so far
their pastime has not been spoiled by any
unreasonable objection from the lion. The
progress of the royal game has been chronl-
cled with great minuteness by the CHIEF
huntsmen and their scribes. and the CON-
ments on the score of justice made by few
eminent Englishmen who are unable to see
the fun of it have been very properly ruled
out Of order. 1t would, of course, be utterly
test the patience Of men SO entirely great as
Beaconsield and Lytton by measuring his
pen against their swords, and lion outside
the sphere Of his leonine attributes has
no rights which statesmen, novelists and
poets are bound to respect. There is
no precedent authorizing lion to write
for the newspapers. 1t is on record that in
ancient times lion once remarked that Q
certain picture would have been different
in some essential particulars If the artist
had been of the leonine persuasion, but 1T
IS not recorded that the dissatisfied beast
ever painted companion picture. That
achievement has been reserved for the pres
ent day, and our readers will assuredly find
their curiosity repaid by the perusal Of the
extracts We this morning present from an
article on "The English and the Afghans,"
written in Arabic for journal in Alexan-
dria, Egypt, by an Afghan publicist. Say
yid Jamaluddin. The translation was made
by Bishop George Percy Badger, well
known as an Oriental scholar, for the Home
aca,d Nail; and we summarize its contents
from the columns OF the Manchester Er-
dmi,ser Of the 4th inst.

The business Outlook.

In Eastern Pennsylvania the inquiries
made for the HERALD relative to the condi-
ton and prospects Of business have not
brought forth uniformly rosy replies. 1t is
the country of coal and iron, and these cy-
clopaan industries have been unable to
accommodate themselves to the times with
the ease of the smaller interests. The
great clumsy giants have gone down from
the hill Of inflated prices with heavy steps,
they would bring down the whole country
side along with them. But they are on the
solid ground Of "hard-pan" now, or very
near it, and though they send forth
terrific growls it must be remembered
that it is vigorous pinch which reaches
giants consciousness. The coal giant is in
gloomy state of mind. He is waiting to
know if his combination will hold, and in
the thought that some of the mines will
take out as much anthracite as they please
and so force others to still lower prices if
the latter would compete for the trade, he
cannot say that next year will be
profitable one. The iron business has
not the same difficulty to contend
with but disturbance in the coal trade
naturally makes it a little uneasy. In most
OF the man ufacturing lines it expects to do
well. The manufacture Of steel is, how
ever, advancing steadily in importance and
is making fair profits. Iron shipbuilding
has received momentary impetus. In
these general conditions it is not surpris-
ing that surplus capital is timid. Real
estate, whose value depends so much
on confidence in the future, has not inn
proved. In this important section it would
then seem that hopefulness is terminating,
but confidence has not taken possession OF
the business mind.
Along the upper Hudson the reports
point to better business for next year,
this years having been larger than last
without an increase Of profits.

An Afghan on the English.

Tiger hunting, as we are assured on trust
worthy authority, is n most agreeable and
entertaining pastime rs long as it is confined
within it's proper limits--i. E., as long as the
hunting is all on one side. And should the
monarch of the forest choose to vary the
monotony of the programme by hunting his
pursucrs the interest of the game is not
thereby diminished, though its quality
may suddenly be changed from comedy
to tragedy. The same remarks are pre-
sumably true of lion hunting, which amuse-
ment has always been very popular among
the masters of British India. They have
had to do with lions of several descrip-
tons. First there was old Runjeet Singh,
the 'Lion of the Punjab," who gave the
Anglo-Indians no end Of trouble up to his
death in 1882 after which event John Bull
Sahib gallantly confscated his domains,
which had fallen to the infant Prince,
Maharajah Djuleep Singh, who was lion,
too, in name, but whose teeth have been
carefully drawn by English political dem
lists. Then there was Dost Mahomed
Khan, 'the Lion Of Cabul,' who in 1S42
INDUCED in the unjustifable pastime of
annihlating the conquerors of Afghanistan.
1t 'gocs without saying that the British
have always objected very strongly against
such conduct on the part of the lion. and
manifested their indignation by giving him
and his belicose sons wide berth for
nearly forty years past.
Just now lion hunting in Afghanistan has
again become the fsyorite amusement Of

Sir Henry Rnwlinson on Afghanistan n

Sir Henry Rawlinson Afghanistan.
Few English diplomatists have more
accurate knowledge Of Central Asian affairs
than the veteran decipherer Of the cunei-
form inscriptions Of Persia, Sir Henry Cres-
wicke Rawlinson. There seems to be some-
thing about those mysterious, arrow-headed
characters which predisposes to hatred OF
the Muscoyite, for Sir Austen Layard, whose
earliest reputation was won in the same
manner, is working as hard against the adj
vance of the Russians in Europe as Sir
Henry Rawlinson is against their progress
in Asia. The latter gentleman has an ex-
tensive personal experience in Afghanistan.
where he was Political Resident at Cahda-
har, in 1840, and accompanied the aveng-
ing British army to Cabul, in 1913.
He had previously been appointed
to repair to Khiva at the time
of Perovski's unfortunate expedition
of 1889, and for the forty years since that
date his one guiding principle Of Indian
polity has been the necessity Of seizing and
holding Herat as the key to India, and the
only certain barrier against Russian inva-
sion. This doctrine he has preached in
season and out of season, in addresses be-
fore the Geographical Society, in diplo-
matte minutes and State papers, in personal
interviews with the chief rulers Of India,
and last, not least in a volume of essays on
England and Russia in the East" pub
lished three years ago. The policy of the
present Afghan war is largely traceable to
the zeal of Sir Henry Rawlinson. It's tri-
umphs will be his triumphs, its reverses
will be his reverses, and he will be respon-
sible for the results of the war whatever
they may be. These facts will give interest
to the vigorous article from his pen in the
current Nineteenth Century, Of which we pre-
sent an abstract in another column.
