RAILROAD CARS IN ENGLAND.

Another consignment of railroad cars
shipped recently from this country TO
England instances a direction in which
American manufactures may be intro
duced in England itself. if insular preju
dice can be a trihe modified. American
railway carriages are so far superior to
Anything either British or Continental
that they have already won their way TO
considerable use. Anything more un-
comfortable, senseless, idiotic and in very
many cases positively dangerous to
health or life than the European com
partment car can hardly be imagined
II is simply three or four coach bodies
joined together end TO end The Ameri-
cans began in the same way, but long
ago developed sufficient ingenuity to
throw the compartments into one long
car, with great advantages of comfort
and safety.
British prejudices must yield, how
ever, TO proved superiority and the
American car, long gaining ground on
the continent, is making its way in Eng
land too. IL is in good company. II will
find already there and doing well Ameri-
can watches, American guns and revol-
vers, American reapers and agricultural
machinery and lots of other things which
we make well and cheaply The next
move ought to be TO popularize Ameri-
can carriages. Our cheaper wood and
iron becoming equally cheap give us an
immense advantage in building car
rages, to which is added our superior
methods of making little material 90 a
great way without loss of strength.

THE NEED OF PARKS.

Prof. Jones able and interesting adj
dress before the Advance Club last even
ing proved, by irrefutable facts and fig
ures, both the general value and utility
OF park area TO modern cities and the
specific fact that Providence is wofully
behind the other great cities of the world
in that respect.
The park is a modern idea. The medi-
qSval city stood hemmed in by close
walls, compressed by narrow limits, un-
relieved, as "A rule, except in England,
even by Cathedral close. AS a conse-
quence partly of this crowding and
partly of other sanitary evils, the rate of
mortality was something frightful, at
times of special plaques almost incredi-
bic. When in modern times the fortiti-
cation lines are pushed outward, the old
wall lines become boulevards, as in Paris
or Vienna, or better still "anlage" as in
Frankfort and Coblenz Curiously
enough, this arrangement of ring-con-
nected parks or squares has been copied
by Chicago the most modern Of great
cities.
But the European cities have not
stopped with their interior boulevards.
They have added vast breathing grounds
ON the outskirts, as Hampstead Heath,
Bois de Boulogne, Het Bosch at the
Hague. They have outstripped most
Amer can cities.
We have no medieval traditions TO
contend with. Our town were never
walled. Yet the American park is too
often only the village common of fifty or
hundred years ago, now altogether too
small and in the formation of agenuine
park system suitable for future as well
as present needs scarcely a single city
has made any appreciable advance.
What is wanted here, as everywhere,
is not park but a system of parks, con-
uected and interdependent, intelligently
placed and forecasting the future growth
of the city. Prof. Jones' paper, as an
intelligent effort TO outline such sys-
tenn, is worthy of the most thoughtful
study.

proves the List on General Principals.
The meeting of the committee Of the
school board, on qualifications, yesterday
afternoon developed the fact that the com
mittee Was not entirely satisfied with the
| Z of evening school teachers selected by
the committee on evening schools The
qualifications committee adheres to the
law, as its members understand il, that
the list must be submitted TO them for ap-
proval, while the evening school csmmit-
tee, or Jome OF its members, say that is
merely formality and the qualifications
committe has no authority to disapprove
OF the teachers.
There was some complaint because Miss
Lena Steere and Miss Dora Appleton were
not re-appointed aud George G.. Phillips
was not satisfied with the appointment Of
Harry Cooney as principal OF the America
Street School. The list was returne" TO the
evening school committee with n request
for new one. The evening school com
mittee met this afternoon. The matter
will doubtless be adjusted so that the
schools may begin Monday evening.
