Ran.ata nf tha na,h.

Il City Council can spare tho money,
and has authority TO spend it In that
particular line OF public good IL
ought to grant to the Free Bath Assocla-
tion the aid which 1t asks.
Surely, there is no single charity In
Wilmington more conducive TO health
and pleasure than a free bath house
which is frequented by persons who can
not afford the luxury Of a bath tub. or
who prefer bathing place OF larger
dimensions.
Looking atthe matter from the score
OF health and enjoyment alone, the
weight of the argument is IN favor Of
accepting the tender. But there Is an
other side to It.. Human life, especially
that Of childhood is beth sacred and val
uable. No one can estimate the number
OF lives saved by the free bath In
the seasons that It has bsen
In use. Boys will battle. II there
is not q free bath, they will take
to the ponds, or what is more dangerous,
to the tide water Of the rivers and cree Ks,
where they are subject to all the dangers
of deep water, tidal force and cramps In
bathing, and hidden stumps and rocks in
diving.
In the free bath no such dangers exist.
The water is Of uniform depth. there are
no deadly projections beneath It, aud, as
a safeguard against ths Clamps, that
most deadly emmy Of the swimmer.
there is salaried superintendent present
st all times aud ready to rescue any boy
or girl who cries for help.
Farther than this. the free bath is q
swimming school. and the useful lessons
gained there in boyhood and glrlhood
win never be forgotten. Once a swim
mer always swimmer, and thousands
OF men owe their lives TO their
knowledge Of this prSsssvative acquire
ment
Give the boys OF Wilmington an op
portunity to learn how to conduct them-
selves when in the water for pleasure or
from accident. The expense will be small
and the benefits manifold.

LETTERS FROM TIE PEOPLE.
The COMMITTEES ExpIains

To the Editor Of the Ev sning Journal.
SIR The writer of the article IN
The Dark Agss" in your issue OF May
23d Is mistaken In assuming that the
clergy of the Protestant Episcopal Dlo
cese of Delaware have appointed a com
mittee TO investigate the New Castle
jail. The Clerical Brot herhood has ap-
pointed. q committee to report to the next
convention In the matter OF prison re
form, but It has done nothing more. The
committee has not sent any Of It's mem
bers to witness the whipping Of priso.
ners, or to make an inspection Of the
jail. Il has not made any charges against
the management. The penal system OF
the State OF Delaware and the condition
of the New Castle jail are we'll known to
be-what they are. The committee Of
the Clerical Brotherhood does not regard
Itself as authorized to make sn investi-
6 alton or prefer charges.
For the Committee,

Tnvsstigate. aud That At Once.

The people OF Wilmington are proud
OF the public schools, and point with lust
pride to the manner in which theI ,
children are educated. Like every other
system, however, there are faults an d
when they are discovered. citizsns who
are never back ward In their praise are
necessarily pained. One Of these faults
has been very manifest for a
long time and the EVENING JoUR
NAL took occasion not very long ago
to call attention to 1t. It is the
seeming opinion of some of the Older
teachers to imagine that the schools
were created solely te give them
chance to put their talents ard educa.
tion into operation; that the children
are sent there TO afford them oppor
tunity to exercise their authority-in
fact, that In place Of their being servants
Of the people, the people are their ser
wants. This may seem harsh, but IL
looks rs though IL were only too true.
The story told by little Ethel Bali and
substantiRted by her schoolmates is one
which every good citizan is anxious should
be thoroughly investigated II 1t is true
that the teachers In No. "a school are
guilty Of the act charged against them,
they should be at once punished by re-
moval and even more drastic correction.
The little girl is the daughter OF
prominent citizen and public official and
the Idea is suggested that II teachers did
not fear to so treat her, what show have
the children OF citizens In humber
ranks Of life.
The teachers are experienced In the
care Of children, and the very nature of
that experience should have taught them
better. There can be no excuse for them.
providing. of course. that the allegations
are true in every respect. Il is the duty
of the Board Of Public Education. as
we'll as Judge Ball, TO thoroughly venti.
late the charges and that TOO without
delay

Nine tenths of all human sickness comes
from constipation. The first thing that

such a simple thing. It is nonsense to let
such simple thinggrow into such a serious
