THE TERMINALS QUESTION:.

The meeting of the Commercial Climb
Saturday night, and the discussion OF
the terminal facilities question by men
who are entitled TO speak with authority
served to at least place the railroads ON
record as to their plans and purposes.
IL did somewhat more than that: II
thoroughly exposed TO the public the
present condition of the matter. and
gave the assurance that the citizens
have been for a long time desiring. that
the difficulties that have arisen on ac-
count of the change in the management
Of the roads have been adjusted. or
have been placed upon such a basis Of
mutual understanding that speedy adj
justment is probable.
II is not too much to say that the citi.
zens Of this city will feel very much re-
heved TO get this assurance from the high
est possible source of information. The
delay in the terminal improvements has
not been wholly the fault of the present
controlling managers Of the New Haven
and New England roads, but thew have
very dist tly assumed the r~esponsi.
bility for he future of the work. and
the citizens have been invited TO look 70
them for the future.

officials consider that they have spr.
mounted all the difficulties that bova
stood IN their way, and are PREPARED 70

The date of closing this contest should

THE CITY POOR.
Vive In France

The prevalence of extreme want is
more evident during seasons of severe
cold like the present than at other
times. Prosperous as the city is in
comparison with other cities, the num-
Der of the worthy needy is very great.
The city is clean, the mortality is
low and during the winter months there
is less disease, despite the rigors of the
season than during the warmer periods.
The work of the various charitable
organizations has been as efficient rs
the limited means ut their command
could make it. BY their untirine
efforts not only have hundreds been
assisted but IL is believed that there has
beer no case of pinching restitution
which has not been at least temporarily
relieved. But hampered rs they are by
lack of personal assistance and con.
tributions .heir relief is at best only
partial.
There is now contemplated n system
of combining all these organizations
under n general management. thereby
only covering the city more effect.
ually. but entirely avoiding interior.

FREE TEXT O

The textbook committee of the school
board is wrestling with the f~ree-text.
book problem.
1t ought not to waste a great amount
OF time upon the matter. Since school
houses, seats and teaching are free.
textbooks, which are exactly on a par
with them as educational necessities.
should certainly be free likewise.
Regarding the equities of the matter.
there seems very little opportunity for
argument.
If parents are to supply books for
their children to use in the nublic
schools the theoretical equality of all
the pupils in the schools is at once de
stroyed. The man who earns 81. 80 n
day pays several times as much for his
children's textbooks as he does for their
other school facilities, and several hun
dred per cent more than his fellow-citi-
Zen whose wealth yields him an income
of as many dollars as the poor man has
cents.
AS far as educational results are con-
cerned the matter is as broad as it is
long, since the school committee pre-.
scribes what books shall be used and
compels pupils to procure them.
The theory that the whole communi-
ty shall contribute equitably to the sup
port of the schools, because the whole
community benefits through common
education, is not in practice as long as
the text books are not furnished from
the same source that furnishes the other
facilities for education.
