Ex-Mayor Hewitt has written strong letter
in favor of the appropriation Of $12.0OO for the
establishment and maintenance Of kindergartcns
in connection with the public-school system IN
BROOKLYN. which is now before the Board or
Estimate Of that city. Mr.. Hewitt is a large
taxpayer in Brooklyn. and his views should have
weight with the members Of the Board. HIS
plea for the proper training Of children under the
age of six or seven is unanSwcrablc, and there
is much force in what he says about the SUI
pcri0r importance Of education in klndergar'ens
as compared with the higher education gwen by
academies The Board Of Education has asked
for only modest sum for this purpose. Even
under the pressure that is put on the Board OF
Estimate to keep appropriations small this item
ought TO be allowed.

TILE COMING OF TILE PIN

The great drOuth is apparently.at an end. Rain.
long looked for and earnestly wished for. has
come at last. and there is promise Of more Of It,
It's coming has not been soon enough to prevent
Widespread loss. In many places some crops are
already damaged beyond repair. Yet it will save
the Fast from the complete disaster which Il
further prolongation OF the dry spell would have
caused. and If for the remainder Of the summer
the weather shall be favorable, even the worst
stricken regions may enjoy fair measure Of
prosperity.
There are those who regard every exceptional
bit Of weather as entirely unprecedented; the
hottest or the coolest. or the wcttcst or the
drypst, that ever was. There are also those
who regard nothing unusual. and who are
ready with statistics to prove that everything is
merely on the average dead level. Both are in
error Doubtless it is true that the rainfall at
York was in the first four months of Tbs
year greater III in the first four months Of last
year. and was indeed. within fraction Of an
inch OF the average But it is folly to say we
have therefore had no drou;h pThc large total
rainfall for the four months IL due to several
exceedingly heavy d0wnpours in the early part
of that period. The latter part has been dry.
1t is . literal fact that in many places there
has been until this week no rain since the snow
disappeared and the frost left the ground.
Doubtless III promise to Noah holds true
"Seedime and harvest. and cold and heat and
summer and winter. and day and night. shall
mot cease" Nothing Is more certain than the
succession OF the seasons But nothing Is more
