Lack Of School Facilities.

The public schools Of Greater New
York" opened yesterday and nearly four
hundred thousand children were enrolled.
This is an admirable showing on the face
of it, but there is another side to the pic
ture. About twenty thousand children
were temporarily refused admission, owing
to lack of school facilities, and there will
be no accommodations for them until the
Copenhagen. or halliday system, is put in
operation. The superintendent of public
schools had plenty of excuses to offer, but
this is a case where the people always are
ard should be slow to accept excuses,
What they want and what they should
have is plenty of school rooms. That
schools are more economical than reforma-
tories is an old idea and as true today as
ever. In large cities, in New York above
all others, the street is no place for chill
dren. 1t is the duty of the state to pro-
vide ample school accommodations, and
every child is entitled to an equal oppor-
tunity of acquiring an education. Two ses-
sions day for some and one session for
others Is a case of rank injustice, and the
sooner the powers that be, not only in New
York. but in every city in the land, can
be made to see it so the better it will be
for the whole country.

in harmony with the parent institutions.
Very wide reading and a large grasp of
laws and what may be called the art Of
law making will be requisite in those ap-
pointed to such difficult tasks.
Fortunately for the country, the popu-
listic crusade against lawyers for Congress
spent itself some years ago without serious
effect on the objects of attack. The people
could not be brought to see that tine man
educated in the law was out of place in a
law-making body. They inclined to the
other view, with the result that we have
now in the two houses of Congress a num-
ber of men whose standing at the bar gives
their opinions on legal questions very great
weight. Some are advocates of national
reputation, others have served with dis
tinction on the bench, and all have had
such experience fits them for the high
est requirements of their profession.
Mr.. Hoar, it is plain enough will enjoy
the work in question, and both by reason
of his attachments and position will be
called upon to cut good deal of it out.
His usefulness In the Senate will be greater
than ever.

debt of gratitude: but it owes more than
the mere formal expression of its gratitude
1t is the solemn duty of the United States
10 take care of these men and to take the
very best care of them. Nothing that the
wealth of this great nation can buy is too
good for them and no Denny-wise system
of economy should be followed in planning
building and ~qIippiEg these hospitals. Gen
Wheeler has been quoted as saying that
the war is not over by any means and that
there will be more fighting yet If this
prophecy be verified the authorities should
b" in position to care for the wounded
and sick in such thorough manner that
no reasonable fault can ever be found
again, If, however. there should be no
more lighting in the field, the war will
nevertheless not be over 50 far as the re-
public is concerned until the campaign
against the fevers which have attacked our
army has been pushed TO a completely sue
cessful termination.

Promotion in the Navy.

Inc naval board of promotion, which Is
to convene this week, will have a dinicult
task assigned to it. There will be many
and varied problems TO solve and obstacles
to surmount- Fortunately for all who are
directly interested in the results of its
lahors, the personnel of the board is such
as to insure fair treatment and to make it
reasonably certain that the work will be
carried through to a satisfactory end.
While none OF the members of the board has
expressed any definite views as yet, at
least publicly it is believed that none is
in favor of the present system of promo
ton. That the system has not been a sue
cess in connection with the present war
there can be little doubt. 1t has worked
injustice to many officers who deserved
better treatment and it is even claimed
that some officers who have been advanced
several number in their respective grades
during the earlier days of the war find
themselves worse off now than they were
before, owing to the other promotions that
have since been made. Men who were not
so fortunate as to receive assignments that
gave them opportunities for distinction find
themselves, to all intents and purposes, re-
duced in grade through the advancement
of others. That such condition of affairs
- DS'd sues "LliOuI say illS anu lnSTe are
many people, both in the service and out
who would prefer to see the board recon-
mend the enactment of a law by which the
distinguished service of one man can be
recognized without doing injury to another
The bill which Judge Advocate General
Lemly has prepared, and which will be in
troduced in Congress in the report of the
Secretary of the Navy, will find many
friends. In lieu of the present system of
adva acernent for meritorious service this
bill provides that the President shall be
authorized TO award to each deserving off,
Ger a medal of honor and an increase of
pay amounting to ten per cent, which in
crease will continue through the various
grades and during the retirement. While
this system may not be perfect one, at
the first reading it seems to be a vast i'm
provement upon the one now in vogue.
