THE BOARD or EDUCATION.

AT Wednesdays meeting of the Board OF Ed
ucation a resolution was adopted providing for
the employment of OcuStS TO report upon the
best scheme Of color for schOolrOoms with spe-
cial reference to the effect upon the eyes Of the
scholars This Is not a detail Of administration
which is likely to attract much attention. but il
serves TO illustrate the difference between a
system Of supervision which is intelligent and
one which is the reverse. and Is, We think. a
fair example of the care with which the Board
of Education has performed its business since
it came under the control Of men I'm hearty sym
pathy With the reforms which the new law
made possible. There Is no doubt that there was
a great deal Of opposition to be encountered
among the teachers and in that large element
of the population which naturally derived its
opinions and feelings from the teachers There
are, fortunately. many indications that the
courageous straightforward. personally disin-
terested conduct Of the majority Of the Board
has recently overcome that opposition TO CON
siderable extent. and is likely to conquer the
goodwill and cordial support Of the whole edu-
catioDal establishment
In the matter of the selection of principals
for the high schools. the decision that it was
necessary to supply the most favorable condi-
high school work an essential qualification for
appointment was a decision which the majority
Of the Board would doubtless on their own ac-
count have been glad to avoid. They had every
reason to anticipate that it would arouse re-
sentiments and subject them TO censure, and
that was the immediate consequence. For a
short time those who argued. and perhaps sin
cerey felt, that stigma had been put on New
York teachers had their say, finding means Of
publicity and not a little support in the press.
For the moment It was not a comfortable sit
uatlon for the School Commissioners. but they
did not have to wait long for the common-sense
view Of the matter to prevail. They have been
acquitted Of any desire or intention to dsparage
the excellent teachers Of the metropolis and to
treat their Just claims cOntemptuOusy as was
to have been expected. But, more than that,
1t Is evident that they are winning over large
part of the opposition to their own sound and
loyal view.
1t is only just to say that a more generous
recognition of the labOrOus service which is
gratultOusly rendered to the community by the
more intelligent conception which has begun 10
prevail of the Importance Of the functions which
II performs. In this trying weather, at more
comfortable seasons. it does an immense amount
Of bard work TO which little public distinction
attaches. 1t Is animated by a sincere desire to
execute its office faithfully. and ii is entitled TO
commentator and gratitude.

4 SENSIBLE DECISION.

The good sense which has usually marked
the action of President Mckinley has not de-
serted him. as his decision to defer proposed
message regarding the currency question proves
MANY friends, perhaps some members or MS
Cabinet had urged such action But II was
made clear TO the President that some uncer-
tainty and delay In action OF the Tariff Dill
would certainly result. and that no majority
could he expected in .hc Senate in favor Of act
ing on any other subject excepting the tariff at
this SESSION. 1t appears that there was IN fac'
an understanding between the Republican and
Democratic leaders to that effect. in order to
remove obstacles TO an early decision on the
tariff.
There are reasons which far outweigh in pub
lie appreciation those which spring from Sena-
torial understandings. 1t Is the plain fact that
no living man can speak with confidence re-
gardlng the needs Of the Treasury ana the meas
urcs required 10 protect the currency until there
has been some experience OF the workings OF
the new revenue law. II Is quite clear that
Secretary Gage himself Is not entirely convinced
that the bill as 1t stands will meet all needs rs
to revenue. because lie sent TO the Senate sug-
geston looking to an increase Of about S16.0oO.-
600 in revenue from sugar. and did so after n
Republican Senatorial caucus had determined
not to offer or support any other amendment to
the pending bill. 1t is necessary TO infer that
the Secretary has doubts which few months
experience will either remove or strengthen. Yet
how can anybody hope to devise sound cur
rency plan without a definite idea as to the
probable excess Of Treasury receipts over eX-
penditures?
The President Is evidently well aware Of the
fact that few months OF experience under the
new tariff will go far TO indicate what currency
legislation is now required. The followers OF
President Cleveland. who have pretended to be-
lieve that retirement Of greenbacks was the one
and only medicine needed to restore financial
health. would be much pleased. no doubt, II a
Republican President should express his belief
that legislation on that question is as necessary
as any other BIT the President has never CON-
mtted himself to any such idea. and presum-
ably does not regard the appointment of cur
rcncy commission. with power merely TO recon-
mend something to Congress. as anything more
than soothing dose for infamed nerves.
1t is an open question whether the appoint
ment of commission would do any good. even
as to the infamed apprehensions of some per-
sons. while It Is certain that no action on the
subject can he expected at THIS midsummer SEES
sion The President is wise not TO call upon
Congress for action which he knows cannot be
expected in the existing division of parties In
TIE Senate He is also wise if he concludes that
he will know much better what to propose or
recommend next December. after the revenue
producing power Of the pending Tariff bill has
been somewhat tested. than ut this time when
he has no light on the subject and also knows
that any recommendation that he can make
will be Of no present effect

THE POLICE AND TIE COTRTS.

The Indictment Of the two persons who are
believed on overwhelming evidence to be guilty
of the murder Of Guldcnsuppe makes it proper TO
say that the Police Department Of this city IL
entitled to coinmendation for its work in this
horrible case. Starting with nothing but the
proof Of capital crime and under conditions
rnfavorablc to quick solution of the mystery
the police have succeeded in completely estab-
fishing the identity OF the victim and capturing
The consprators who killed him. There seems
TO be not the slightest risk In saying that they
have thus practically finished their work. for
though everybody Is innocent In the eye Of the
law until he has been legally declared guilty. no
such network Of proofs ever surrounded IN in
nocent man as that In which these two confed
crates have been caught. The detectives of the
Department are 10 be especially congratulated
