KITCHEN ETIQUETTE AT SUPPLY.

keep their places. But, neighbors out of
their places are quite another thing. Eve

these neighbors continually dropping in. ,
Our female neighbor comes over while We
are at breakfast. and begs we will not

room and stares at us while we eat, and
fixes her eyes ON the patch on the table

The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1878-12-10

The proprietors and employees of a large
cigar factory in New York have just agreed
upon substitute for strikes and lockouts,
and the plan is SO simple that it is scarcely
strange that no one on this side of the ocean
has thought of il before. 1t is merely to refer
future differences between employers and
employed to board of arbitration, the
members Of which are to be selected by the
two parties. At first sight it would seem
that in such case the employers relinquish
some Of their own rights and aban don por-
ton of their authority over their business !;
but, though this impression is correct in q
literal sense, the truth is that the employers
are granting only what nearly any legiti-
mate business may safely do ii those
to whom the concession is made are
intelligent and honest. 1t is safe to say
that most of the strikes that occur may be
traced to misrepresentation among the
strikers. When q manufacturer or con-
tractor Is doing large amount Of business
it is quite natural for his workmen to
imagine that he is realizing immense
profits, but business men know that of the
general mass Of enterprises that are not
losing money nine-tenths are being run on
very small margin OF profit; as for those
that are losing, the poorest man employed
in them is better off than his employer.

intrusted his play kept it three years, and
then produced it with changes which ne
gratefully regards as the best part OF the

will have some litigation on its

Of the alterations and does not rejoice in
them. Where Mr.. Howard stands in the

OF Docks MS the big feather in their admin
istration hat, we are not certain that 1t is
such gain rs they claim. 1t is n tax on
commerce which must react iDjurously on
the city. All that New York wants from
her revenue is to equip and maintain her
continent. She does not want to draw
from commerce money for any other pur-
pose than for facilitating commercial de-
velopment. We hope that the ''sharp COM

piers is not conducted at such figures as to

Physicians on schoo,room Abuses.

The HERALDs COMBINATIONS Of certain
features of school mismanagement have re.
ceived unexpected support from the just pub
lshed report Of the Medico-Legal Society's
Committee on School Hygiene. This COM
mittee, consisting Of we'll known physicians,
some of whom have achieved national repu-
tation, find that during the vacation months
there is n marked decline in the death rate
from scarlet fever. ''As soon as the schools
opened the disease increased its rayages"
The fever having broken out in buildings
contiguous to primary school it is stated
that 'the closets in the school were covered
over and all ventilation excluded. Foul
odors and poisonous sewer gases were car
ried through the school by the hot air Of
the furnace" What is TO be thought of the
security OF life and health in any public
school when the buildings are in charge OF
janitors ignorant enough to allow such
combination of evils to exist without pro-
test? The chairman Of the Health Commit
tee of the Brooklyn Board of Education
remarks that over three thousand children
disappear between the time Of entering the
lowest grade and that of promotion to the
next, and attributes the less to the unsani-
tary condition Of the schools. Collateral
evidence from prominent teachers is cited
in The report. Long hours of attendance
and faulty construction Of buildings are
charged with much Of the trouble, yet
the attempt to have competent sanitary
inspection mitigate the dangerous infu-
ences OF things as they are seems to have had
no support from the Board of Education.
one member coolly Directing to bill offered
with this purpose in view, because it would
necessitate additional expense! He also
stated that "there is no necessity for the
BILL as the schools are in good sanitary
condition" He neglected to give his au-
thority for this last bit of information, but
it could probably be traced to a janitor, for
no higher grade of specialist in sanitary sci
ence seems to be recognized by the Board
Of Education.
