carried on on methods peculiar to itself. draws

Some of the friends Of DR.. Gilman in this city
are not disposed to accept as final the decision
announced yesterday as having been made by
him in Baltimore and will not relax their efforts
10 induce him to come to NewYork. 1t Is prob
able that DR. Gilman's consideration Of the ques-
ton OF leaving his present post has been affected
somewhat by the failure Of the Board of Educa-
ton TO act promptly, and by the absurd PROPOSE
ton TO create new place for him that would
give him little real power. Thus far he has had
nothing definite to go upon, and at best he has
only permitted his name to be used in connec-
ton with the superintendency. 1t is much TO be
hoped that he may still be prevailed on TO accept
the offer which every well-wisher Of the city
hopes TO see the Board Of Education force upon
him.

Schoolma'ms everywhere will probably watch
with lively interest the development Of the
plan by which the teachers of Connecticut pro-
pose to provide for themselves annuities In the
time OF their disability or old age. According to
a dispatch from that State. they think that by
laying an assessment their salaries they Will
be able to maintain a fund which will give to
every disabled teacher and every teacher who
has served thirty years or more yearly In
come equal to half OF his or her regular pay.
II the scheme proves successful. the State should
support 1t literally. and other States should
adopt II. Various ways OF pensioning veteran
pedagogucs have been discussed in recent years.
and there seems to be general feeling that II
would be just and grateful in the States to
ease the declining years OF those who have
worn themselves out in educating boys and
