Going to Seed.

To the questions, rs the educational
system of the United States top-heavy?
Are we putting time, labor and money
on the superstructure at the expense OF
the foundations" Elliott Flower, in q
most interesting article in the Febru-
airy North American Review, returns
an emuhatic answer in the affirmative
and re-enforces it with statistical proof.
10 begin with, Mr.. Flower has no
quarrel with the high schools or col
leges and begrudges them nothing, but
he regards that condition as anomalous
and in some senses dangerous which
dots the landscape with these higher
schools, apparently far in excess of the
visible popular need, while every year
in almost every city In the country the
school authorities are put TO all kinds
of eXpedients to find even scant ac-
commodations for the children who
seek admission to the primary and
grammar school grades. In New York
city, for example, on the two opening
days of the present school year 6,913
pupils had TO be sent home because
inert was no room TOT tneHni ultimately,
however, they were partly aecommo-
dated by means of halliday sessions In
Chicago 1869 pupils had TO he put in
inconvenient rooms temporarily rented
and 1l,746 Others had to be put on half
school time. In Brooklyn, st. Louis
and Denver similar conditions prevail,

The Public Library in 1907.

of the educational institutions of this
city none mas better proved its claim to
public esteem than the Scranton Public
library. a fact made additionally plain
in its seventh annual report, which
covers the year 1897
During that year the library made an
average daily distribution of $50 books
equivalent to 161 ,666 volumes for the
entire year. At the end of the year S,096
cards were in force which, at five read
ers to the card, would indicate that 40
$50 persons are accumstomed to gain
information or entertainment from
some of the 2l,615 volumes in the cir
culating department, not to make mem
tioa of the considerable and growing
use Of the reference department with
its S,967 books. In fact the lbrary's
usefulness extends considerably fur
thcr than is indicated in these few fig
ures; for otter the implanting of a love
of good books. which the library GER
tainly eccomplishes, there necessarily
follows an anxiety on the readers part
to own good books. Supplementary to
those which he secures from the lib
rary for hasty perusal he will soon be-
gin to buy other books, not so easily to
be had from the library; popular books,
like for example "Quo Vadis," for
which there are always ten or a dozen
advance calls at the library: and also
books outside of the library's scope.
The habit of intelligent reading grows
apace and no library short of the very
largest can satisfy it wholly.
1t is q pleasure for The Tribune to
commend in the highest terms the
careful and effective work performed by
this library under it's present manage
ment, for apart from the general bene-
fits accruing therefrom this paper pro-
fits from it directly. Printing as ii does
clean paper and one observing the
best standards possible under prey
conditions, 1t finds that it's patronage
and influence amplify in exact propor-
tion that the tastes and standards of
the community are lifted up. That the
library is one Of the most effective
instruments of contemporary improve
ment is a fact shown by evidence
which is multiplying on every hand.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1898-02-08

facilities enlarged so as to keep pace
with the growth in the school popula'-
tion.
On the other hand, Mr. Flower as
serts, and proves, that while the city
schools are unable TO accommodate all
who apply many of the universities
and colleges are hardly able to secure
enough students to make it worth while
To remain open. He makes list of
1io Of these higher institutions in the
United States, many OF them fed by the
state, which have fewer than 200 pu-
pills apiece and he inquiries if some Of
the money now put into these sparsely
attended academic institutions. to the
direct benefit Of a few only. might not
be used to better advantage in provid-
ing facilities for educating those who
are practically crowded out of the pub
lie schools now.
The question admits or but one re-
ply. Our school system is in danger of
going to seed

A Mean Revenge.

In a difference of testimony between
Street Commissioner Dunning and the
editor of the Scranton Republican con-
cerning the work of the formers de-
partment those who know both parties
will be likely to give Mr.. Dunning the
certainly will who arc aware that Mr..
Dunning, upon assuming his present
Office, and after declining to appoint
to a fat berth at Mr. Scranton's dicta-
ton, one of that genteman's hench-
men, was then coolly Informed that
the Republicans columns would be
used later to balance the account.
Mr. Dunning's version of the circum-
stances under which Michael Gogolin
of the street cleaning force met his
death underneath the falling Y. NJ. C.
A. wall. as published in Yesterdays
Tribune, is fully corroborated by reput-
able witnesses. a fact which will be
made clear at Friday evenings inquest.
That death is most regrettable and the
mishap weighs heavily upon the public
mind; and therefore it is q doublv
mean and cowardly thing in a
newspaper to try under these unfortun-
ate circumstances to bespatter an in
nocent. conscientious and efficient pub
lie official with false and malicious in
nuendo amounting practically to a
charge of homicide.

A Fruitless Business.

The foremost living representative Of
the American bar, Joseph H. Choate,
takes issue point blank with those who
teriorating. I'VE hear sometimes"
says he, that the American bar has
degenerated, that it does not equal it's
predecessors in power and character
and influence, but this l utterly deny.
To the demands which each generation
makes upon it, it is always adequate.
The intense pressure of modern life
and business leaves its mark upon our
profession. What once could be said
in three days must now be said in two
hours--what once could be done In a
month must now be done i'm a day, and
for one | do not hesitate to say that for
skill, efficiency, utility and power, the
service which our profession lends to
the community today, has not been
surpassed in any former generation"
This denial may be applied with
equal truth to each of the other voca-
tions. As conditions change men have
to change with them-not change their
natures but change their adaptation Of
means to ends. Such change how
ever, does not necessarily signify loss
Of power or effectiveness. The great
journalists Of forty years ago would
be great journalists today and the great
journalists of today would have been
just as great, though perhaps appar-
entity much greater, journalists forty
years ago-but not until each had
fitted himself to the conditions OF his
environment. Daniel Webster, If re-
called to earth, would in this day be q
great advocate but his greatness would
in some respects appear freakish until
he had adjusted himself to the new re-
quirements In the meanwhile, Mr..
Choate could give him cards and spades
and nine-tenths of the other points in
the modern legal game and then beat
him easily, because he would be in per-
feet unison with contemporary neces-
stiles. while Daniel would be like his
celebrated mariner adrift."
Those who make "A practice of de-
precatlng the present in unnecessary
worship of the past engage in a fruit
less business, and simply create gloom
where there should he good cheer.

O.
When ii is remembered that the con-
ditions under which the Dingley law
went into operation precisely reversed
those which accompanied the beginning
or the Wilson law as relates to earning
capacity in customs receipts, the contrast
VIII be the more striking. When the Will
son law went into effect it found enor-
nous quantities of foreign goods in
bonded warehouses and in ships lying in
the harbors waiting opportunity to be en-
tered for consumption and pay customs
duties under the new law. When the
Dingley law went into effect it found the
warehouses of the country filled to over
flowing with goods which had already
paid customs under the preceding law.
That the earnings of the Dingley law
under these reversed and unfayorable
conditions should have exceeded by more
than Sl3,OOO,OOO in the first six months the
earnings of the Wilson law in the corre-
spending period of its history shows its
vast superiority as a revenue producer
while the revival of manufacturing
throughout the United States since IL
went into operation indicates with equal
clearness and satisfaction its beneficial
effect upon industries of the country.

bidding defiance to New York, ''ls to be
the favorite home Of the new American,
that composite creature in whose veins

The Last of Fenyvessy.

1t Is remarked that The Tribune's
spasm of virtue over Music hall did not
appear until after Mr.. Fenyvessy had
withdrawn his advertisement from that
paper.-Scranton Republican.
A good many things are remarked
that are not so, and this is one
of them. The Tribune of Jan. 2S called
attention to the indecency Of Feny-
Nessy's performances and because of
that Fenyvessy discontinued his ad-
vertisement. His notion evidently was
that the money paid to this paper for
advertising was a bribe. Others have
shared that hallucination; but while
The Tribune win always stand by its
patrons in all things honorable and
fair it will not sell its independence TO
any of them.
FenyVessy has written us that his
shows have been clean. We invite him
to have this matter tested i'm court.
He also claims we are pursuing him.
We are. We intend to keep pursuing
him until he permanently subtracts his
tilthiness from this city. His idea OF
the ginger" needed to make a success.
f1l show is ore for which Scranton, in
our judgment. has no use.
