DEALING WITH TRUANTS.

Few citizens Will be disposed to disagree with
those members Of the Board of Education who
are convinced that il is more important at the
present time to find room In the public schools
for the thousands Of children who have been
turned away from them since the beginning Of
the school year than TO establish truant schools
for those Of school age who are incorrigible
and disorderly and habitually absent them
selves from their classroOms The attitude Of
the Board Is Ineligible and praseworthy The
first deslderatum Is to supply enough school
buildings for all children who wish TO attend
school. There can he no dispute about that.
When this is done 1t will be In order 10 look
carefully after those who prefer to stay away.
either from sheer ideness and Indifference or
because they have acquired bad habits
The Board of Education has shown no hos
tility to the plan OF one or more truant schools,
which II is empowered by law to provide, al
though not absolutely required to do 30. On
the contrary, It regards the plan with favor,
as is evidenced by the effort made several
months ago to set up a school for truants In
the upper part Of the city, In building for

IN h,s preseace at that moment. rs In every otner
gathering of Yale students for half century
there were young men who were supporuns
themselves by the most painful struggle ID order
to obtain an education, and others In great NUM-
ber whose parents were denying themselves 'he
comforts of life In order to secure that crowh,ns
advantage for their sons.
This piece of fagrant dishonesty Is not an ex-
ceptional accident. Mr.. Bryan's entire cani
paIgn rests upon the pretence that the people
who have money In this country are roppers'
have obtained 1t by theft, and are engaged iii
making more by pundering the people. NO man
can take I'D single speech which he has deiiv-
cred for months past without finding that IN
famous suggestion more than once repeated
Mr.. BRYAN Is not honestly mistaken in TINS. III
is not slip of the tongue, nor temporary OUT
break of passionate feeling because the entire
force Of the thrifty and saving the enferprishg
and the prosperous OF this great Nation are
against him. The bottom fact Is that the man Is
dishonesty and dlsoyally appealing TO the Dasest
and most dangerous prejudices throughout all
his speeches, knowing perfectly well that otner
men like himself have risen from most narrow
opportunities, and that the laws and the condi-
tons of life In this Republic afford immeasuraDly
better chances for such rise than can be found
anywhere else on earth

OF a few Americans are an unfaillng source OF
amusement to our European cousins. Not only
are there fourishing American colonies In the
larger cities of Europe, but they are found in its
most remote corners. so that many Of them re-
turn home knowing much more of the Old World
than they do of their own country.
Nor is there any prospect that this preference
of Americans for Europe will die out. The
"Dauv Messenger" Of Paris estimates that dur

reason TO believe that this enormous expenditure
