THE SCHOOLS.
A Proposttt0m TO Keep some Oper
During Vacation.

During Vacation.
A reporter Of the HERALD hearing that
there was considerable complaint on the
part OF parents at the poor accomoda-
tions of the school department in this
city, visited number of the par
ents in the vicinity of the schools
yesterday. In every instance the
parents complained that their chill
dren did not receive the benefits in
tended to be given when the public
school system was introduced. They
complained that their children were
forced to stay out OF school half of each
day, and all because there were not suffi-
cent rooms to accommodate all
the children who desire to attend. They
had no complaint to make of the Board
OF Education for they understood that
without money to build new schools and
rooms, that branch Of the city govern
ment could not do more than at pres
ent, but they thought that some move
should be made to raise the money for
the building of schools. If the bonds
which were issued many months ago
could not be sold then some other means
should be adopted to raise the money.
II this was pot done it would stop the
growth Of the city in great measure.
Nearly all OF the parents whose children
had been unable to attend for more than
half session each day said that thew
knew their children did not stand nearly
as high in scholarship as others did in
cities where they could be taught at least
! five hours day instead of but four or
| less.
| 1t was suggested that the Board of
Trade, which had been SO active in rails
| ing funds for the new hotel, the Govern
ment building and various other institu-
tions, should take hold Of this matter for
the credit Of the city. If the merchants
and business men would take the matter
up, fund would soon be raised for the
needed school rooms. 1t was also sug-
gested, in case this was not done, that the
| Board OF Education, instead OF closing
the schools for two months keep them
open for those children who had
only received half session tuition
No doubt, teachers could be found who
would be willing to forego their vacation
to instruct these children and perhaps by
the time schools were ready to open in
September these children would have
caught up with those who had been more
fortunate. Some Of the parents were
thinking of sending petitions to the
Board OF Education to this effect. A
number CT suggestions were made, but
the principal one was the above and it is
possible that the Board of Education
will receive petitions to that effect.

Porphyry for Perm ament streets.

-
Good rock on the public streets is as
much OF necessity as a luxury. For
all materials will wear, and that is the
best which will wear the most slowly.
We have not hitherto found that material
in this section, though it has always
been expected to be found. But it is
here now and ready for introduction and
large use in the city. Specimens of
porphyry are shown by the Porphyry
Paving Company, from quarry it has
opened within convenient distance b1
rail. Nothing in the way of rock for
street metal Looks to be harder, tougher,
or more resistant to the grinding of
wheels than these specimens. AS for
porphyry in general, every body knows
that it has been used in the arts
for centuries and recognized as the inde-
structible stone. 1t is not as sliberally dis
tributed by nature as the softer stones,
but wherever it could be procured it has
always had the preference for street work
This Is not surprising. 1t wears 30 slow
ly and with SO little dust that no repair
or renovation is ne ded for years. Maca-
dam with softer stones wears rapidly
under wheels, and the first cost OF such
material is only the beginning of sor-
rows. The porphyry macadam has
strength Tor long life under any grinding
action. This feature is as interesting to
the City Fathers and to the taxable COM
munity as it is to the property owners
on the streets macadamized flor under the
law, "a street paved and complete to be ac-
cep'ed by the Council, and the expense OF
its repairs or remaking is thereafter to
be borne by the city, and even before
such acceptance, small repairs are ex-
pected to be paid for out of the munici.
pal treasury. So, every street which has
soft or rapidly wearing material laid
upon its surface is an open hole in the
public purse. If any stone exists in any
part of the State which seems less likely
to be drain upon the public treasury
than porphyry macadam, it has not yet
been shown. We are told that the cost
of this work in the first place will be far
less than that of any other kind OF
permanent pavement. Everybody will
be interested to watch the operation of
the change and improvement it should
make upon our streets. 1t cannot be
called an experiment. Porphyry maca-
dam has gone far beyond that stage.
The only question has been how to get it.
Now, here it is.
