CURRENT COMMENT.
CONGRESSMAN BOUTELLE'S
SPEECH. 5
(Boston Advertiser. J

n
Although unprecedented, the speech
bore abundant evidence that its author
had thought very clearly and very care
fully upon the topic which he there dis.
cussed. In that regard gratifying con-
trast was manifested to very many OF the
declamations which are heard in these
days from platforms and banqueting
tables and, we are sorry to have to add,
from the pulpits; wherein the speakers,
instead of gravely entering into the ire
mendous problem which is presented by
the Philippine question, content them
selves with passionate appeals to the gl0ri-
Gus memories of the late war, with
apostrophizing the Star Spangled Ban.

illimitable spread of American liberty and

OUR SCHOOLS.
They Are Crowded and Sever al New
Rooms To Be Opened in May.

The city schools were never 80 we'll filed
as at present and the prospect is that they
will be crowded after the May vacation.
In May, according to the school rules,
young children are admitted who have
never attended school before and this
means an average of about twenty
additional pupils in each school.
The Mcclellan school on Carroll street,
is now full and in May it will be neces-
sary to open new room and provide
new teacher. There is a vacant room
which will be fitted up with the necessary
chairs and desks.
In Casco street school the same con-
here, which will be fitted up and new
teacher will be provided.
1t is expected that Park street and
Vaughan street schools will be crowded,
but there are no spare rooms in either
building, SO the present rooms will have
to be fitted beyond their capacity.
At Chestnut street school the first year
rooms are now overcrowded and to ac-
comIuodate the new pupils in May it has
been decided to take the room now occu-
pied by the kindergarten. The kinder
garten will be moved to the Hartford
house on Pearl street, near Cum berland,
which is now being fitted up for the pur-
pose. 1t will furnish an admirable place
for the kindergarten, being in a quiet
and clean locality and the rooms ON the
first floor being well adapted for the pur-
pose. There are now thirty two children
belonging to this kindergarten. 1t is the
largest kindergarten in the city taught
by one teacher, and it may be necessary
to employ an assistant in the near future.
Assistants are now employed in the
kindergartens on Munjoy hill and at the
North school.
The North school has no vacant room
and will he considerably crowded in
May, but it is expected that all the new
children who apply can be accommodated
On Munjoy hill, all the rooms IN the
Smaller and Monument street schools are
at present filled to their utmost capacity.
There is no vacant room in either build
ing, hence it will probably be impossible
to accommodate any new pupils In May.
Children who are Of the proper age to go
to school then will be compelled to wait
until September, when the new school
house will be completed. 1T
The West End school will also be con-
siderably crowded in May. szsesrs
The Centre street school will be able to
take care of all new pupils who apply.
