THE TRAINING SCHOOL 2EOR-
OAkIZATiON.

The infusion of new blood in the School
Committee has already produced some re-
suits, and II Is but natural that the eyes OF
the public should be directed TO one of the
most important branches of the City Gov
ernment. Important for the reason that
the future of country, State and munich
pality depends TO a marked degree upon
upon the education Of the rising genera
tion. The fact must be apparent to the
most casual observer that the educational
affairs of this city have in the past been
go day, God send Sunday" manner. Even
though the matter be taken IN liberal
sense the manner of administration has
been OF the fashion conservative, most
conservative.
The matter at present under discussion
in the educational circles 10 the sdvisabili-
ty and practicability Of the maintainance
of the Training School system In this city.
Two cardinal points In the consideration
of the subject stands prominently forth /:
Economy and local advantages. The two
members of the committee who were
prominent in the discussion at last nights
meeting, represented the two factions In
the school COMMITTEES, for II must be can
didiy stated that since the influx OF new
blood in the committee there has been
division of action. At this point 1t may
be pertinent to state that the sooner this
state of affairs is eliminated, the better for
the progress of educational facilities In the
city OF Pawtucket. A body having the
control of the most vital interests OF the
home, city and State should have but one
aim-the best interests of the parent and
taxpayer.
Pursuant to formal notice given some
time ago, the question of the reorganiza-
tion of the Training School Of this city
was introduced for action by one of the
recently elected members of the commit
tee. The development of his argument
regarding the adoption of his plan indi-
Gated that he had given deep considera-
tion, study and inquiry to the subject.
His arguments were objected to at fire.
quent intervals by one Of the older MEM
bers of the committee, who also had a
plan to propose. His arguments and the
theories by him advanced laid him open
to the criticism of being an obtructionist.
Another of the members of the committee
signified his intention of resigning his
position on the committee rather than
spend the time necessary for careful ex-
animation of the subject under discussion
This condition of affairs is not what il
should be. Politics and personal feelings
should be eliminated by the members o.
the School Committee when seated as
board of control on the educational facili'
ties of the city. Educational affairs progress
possibly more rapidly than any other linz
of local government, and it is to be hopet
that ideas parallel with the facilities o
learning granted our fathers will not b
allowed to descend upon their childrenl

TOO MUCH TRUST.

Commenting on an editorial i'm the
TRIBUNE relative to the need on every
State of a public statue compelling pc
riodical examination OF the affairs of all
manufacturing concerns in view OF the
mill disasters in New Bedford, the Fall
River Globe has the following:
"This may do as a precautionary measure
but its effectiveness even as much would
depend greatly on circumstances. 1t Is
beyond the power of human ingenuity to
make men honest II they choose to be
otherwise In every business, however
numerous and carefully designed the safe
guards to prevent fraud and deceit may
be, there is generally some point at which
trust must be placed in the probity and
honor OF somebody and where the inves-
tigator Is obliged to take some things on
faith.
ssTHe trouble In New Bedford doesn't
appear to have been so much the result Of
lack of law but of reposing to much con-
uutuCt anu III SihSiS ihdiN
This mistaken policy doesn't appear,
moreover, to have been confined solely to
the directors of the wrecked corporations.
II was seemingly observed by the banks
which were discounting the paper of these
concerns and other creditors. Wherever
such conditions exist, there Is always an
opportunity and q temptation for the
trusted party, however honest his in
stincts, to presume too much on his own
judgement, to take too big business risks
aud to go wrong in endeavoring to retrieve
losses which may result from his mistakes
in his calculations or expectations.
"Apropos of this, one strange feature of
these particular cases is that both Hadley
and Howland should have experienced so
little difficulty in getting unlimited credit
and securing with apparent ease large
loans from financial institutions. 1t is
one OF the duties OF the managers of such
institutions to acquaint themselves with
the real condition Of the property or re-
sources OF the borrowing party. They
have, moreover, exceptional means and
varied sources OF information, AZ a rule,
which other people do not possess of find
ing out much that they desire to know In
this line. And In the case OF the ordinary
applicant for accommodation they usually
employ such OF these mediums as may be
necessary in taking his measure.
at seems almost incredible that the
hanks in New England and especially in tn,
cotton manufacturing centres, should hay,
been completely ignorant OF the fact tha
these New Bedford mills had for some tim
been under suspicion among business mel
identified with the cotton industry. Thes
suspi lions were based upon simple an,
common sense business propositions

partments of the country mey hope TO

between the consumptive patient aud

Transmission of the germs by means OF

haps be impossible to isolste all victims
of tuberculosis; but If the true theory
of the disease were intelligently grasped
by the general public, there would be
little danger that the average man or
woman would get an the way OF the
germs carried by another. Stringent
measures have been adopted to check
the spread OF other contagious diseases.

THE ASSEMBLY,.

The comming session OF the General
Assembly, it is confidently predicted,
will not be long one. If the members
would work with minds concentrated
on the one determination to foolisbly
squander no time there would be no
occasion for protracted sitting. The
business that now awaits the considera-
tion of the Assembly is neither SO COM
plex no 80 extensive as to require a
large expenditure of time or effort.
There is fair amount of perfunctory
business on hand and few issues of
Importance; these will not, or should
not, occupy many weeks Of legislation.
Legislation is good deal like medi.
cine, o proper amount is a good thing,
but too much is evil. We are not,
however, 90 far as the horoscope OF
statecraft portends, likely to get any
unwonted amour. at this session.

THE CABINET MEMBERS.

The quadrennial rumors as to what
che outgoing members OF the cabinet
will do with themselves after March 4
have been going the rounds Of late,
seeking whom they may destroy. One
OF the absurdest of them credits each
member with fat job in some one Of
the trusts or other big corporations.
Of course nobody knows yet what is
trne and whst is untrue, but we venture
to say that sillier yarn than the above
has not made its escape up to date.
The Democratic party is not in love
with trusts, and it is not likely that the
members Of the cabinet who are true
Democrats will hasten to get under the
wing Of the plutocrats as soon as re-
leased from the cares of state. These
four-year fibs are amusing, but they
are not to be treated with seriousness.

Y. M. C. A. WORK.

It must have been very apparent to
those who attended the anniversary ex-
ercises of the Young Mems Christian
Association yesterday afternoon that
aside from directly moral standpoint
it was factor OF great good among the
young men in our city and it's environs.
The clergy and residents OF Pawtucket
have by their financial aid, and support
in other lines, demonstrated their ap-
probation of the good work conducted
by the association, and 1t is to be hoped
that the fund now established for the
erection OF q building devoted to it's
use will be so increased as to permit OF
the erection OF suitable edifice in the
near future. The speaker in his ref
erences to the increase OF our criminal
classes sounded note OF warning that
men (aside from creed or. faith) who
lay claim to good citizenship cannot af-
ford to ignore. It is the neglect OF the
early training of the young, and not
the evil associations of mature years in
the majority of cases that is responsible
for the sorrow in many home and the
crowded conditions of our criminal In
stitutions. To the most casual OBJ
server the fact is very apparent that
there is grand field for the work of
the association in our midst. An in
stitution of any class, religion or creed
'1fhat tends to refine and work for the
betterment of the masses is entitled to
earnest support. For the information
of those who desire to know something
of the volume of this work in our land
it will be interesting to state that this
is the thirtieth year Of the establish
ment of the Y. nj. G. A., and that its
membership is now 294,29S; while
thirty years ago not building was de-
voted to the work or owned by the as
sociati0n. There arenow 3iJ valued at
$16, ,759, 800. The total cost of main
tanning the various branches was $2.-
900, All, and connected with these are
305 gymnasiums, 100 reading rooms,
355 educational classes with 1886 stu
dents and 762 Bible training classes.
Among the Indians there are 43 asso-
Citations, 81 among the colored people,

with our colleges.
