believed that in this manner the school
authorities will be able to maintain closer
watch than ever upon the child population
of school age in the great city. This is
tremendous task. 1t Is to be questioned
whether it can be attacked with mora than
approximate results. There will necessarily
always be more or less of a difference be-
tween the actual work of the schools and
the W Drk to be done. The slums contribute
heavily to the streets whereas they might
be bettered by a more thorough enforce
ment of the truancy laws and of those re-
stricting the employment of child labor
The poverty of the denizens of these con-
gested quarters inevitably complexities the
problem of placing the educational advan-
tages offered by the city at the disposal of
those who most seriously need them.
A belief has of late developed in the
minds of the superintende of the New
York schools that much good might be
wrought by departure from the system
of education within fixed quarters. 1t Is
thought that by taking the children out in
to the parks when the weather permits and
training them in the facts of nature there
apparent new conceptions can be given to
them which in the ordinary routine of school
life and home existence would remain mys-
teries. Something was done in this direc-
tion during the vacation season and the
results were gratifying. 1t is also hoped
to utilize the recreation piers recently built
by the city as kindergartens for the very
poor. and for this purpose they will be en-
closed and heated during the winter
months. Pushing ahead along this same
line of departure from the established cur
rculum, it is planned to build swimming
pools in the school houses in order that
the children may be taught therein to
swim. 1t is believed that in this way lives
will be saved which are now lost because
there is little knowledge Of the art Of
salf-preservation in the water.
These are ambitious plans. but they are
in the right direction tending to derive for
the benefit of those most in need of educa-
tion culture and proper training the best
results possible in system of public edu-
cation in congested a center as New

Important Work for LAWYERS

The recent report that Senator Hoar's
name was under consideration in connec-
ton with the English mission was followed
by one to the effect that the senator pre-
ferred his present place. Mr. Hoar is a
lawyer, and a very eminent one. He has
for years been at the head of the judiciary
committee of the Senate and has assisted
in the shaping of some very important
statutes He has scholarship, and would
make his presence felt in London, but his
great store of legal knowledge would find
small room for exercise in the post of am
bassador. 1t is easy to believe therefore.
that his inclinations are for duties which
show him in the role of his best equipment,
Just now, it may be said, there is work
in Congress for lawyers of Mr.. Hoar's
breadth and thoroughness to do Many
new and complicated questions are coming
up in the matter of government for our
new possessions, and only lawyers of the
first class may hope to contribute to their
settlement. More than speaking acquaint-
ance with the Constitution and familiarity
with the common law will be necessary

The Militant Anarchists.

Again the question which was vigorously
discussed at the time of the assassinsa ton
OF Senior Canoyas presents Itself: Is there
10 way OF reaching the men who call
themselves militant anarchists except as
one by one they commit the crimes de-
creed by their infamous organization? The
names Of many of them. il is said are
known to the police Cf Europe. Even
their meeting places are known. Now
and then a raid is made on them, but
nothing more than their dispersion results
They scatter. run to cover for a time. and
then come together again at some other
point They are tireless III their schem-
II IS, merciless in their judgments and
executions. They are fisnds beyond the
pale OF human sy ympathy. Cannot they
be reached. and, as d class, be perma-
nentiy routed?
Suppose that humber of men banded
together and called themselves PoisOners.
They arraisned the prevailing system of
law and order, ara boldly asserted that
Tor themselves they had taken matters into
their own hands. They described without
hesitation their method of procedure.

The True Note,

The fact goes into history that less than
10000 American troops forced Spain TO ca
pitulate and abandon that island with its
10000 Spanish troops and 10 give up the
war which her brutality had forced.
The reader Will say, We knew all thi,
before; why this recltal?' The answer is
that these glorious achievements ought 10
pe constantly Kept in view TO restrain the
spirit oil peSSimlsm now SO rife in the coun-
try.
Would it not be well if the public mind
could now be turned to more interesting
themes tha1 either the accidents or the
faults of army administration, and the
world be permitted to see the American peo-
pie little better reconciled TO their own
government than some of our newspapers
nave represented them to be during the last
fortnight?

You're heroes every one of you
Says Colonel Roosevelt;
lie trials which you've all been through
Are generally felt
Yet. modesty with honest worth
Invariably goes.
So, take the good things of this earth,
But don't get gay and pose
And not alone to soldier men
Does this advice apply
All folk may well observe it when
Success comes fitting by.
Smile as you read your name in print
And count your wealth that grows;
Draw treasure from life's golden mint,
But don't get gay and pose.

The Delawarean, in an editorial that
clearly bears thu earmarka of John Il.
Salisbury, defends the new Ballot law
passed by the General Assembly. 1t
Processes to be unable TO 500 why any
sensible or reasonable man should
oppose the law passed. or prefer the
present expensive and difficult ballot
system. -
But the issue goes beyond the mere
question of cost which is trllling in
comparison with tho interests involved.
The fact remains that the opening OF
the doors to the prumiacuuus printing
of election tickets ia opening the
doors to the corruption Of suffrage. No
more dangerous means OF vote huying
is oifersd than by giving to politicians
or political organizations the right to
print any kind of tickets they desire,
limited only TO a certain size and u
certain kind of paper. 1t gives n
uhGncs to deal with yenal voters
effectively, and to evado most success
fully tLu penalties OF the law.
We do not claim that only tho Re
publican party will be guilty of frauds
upon the suffrage il tho new ballot
system is permitted to prevail. hui
we do confidently assert that in this
nefarious work the Republican cor
ruptionists can more than double dis
count their Democratic opponents.
Recognizing this fact, the Democrati'
executive committee of New Castl'
county has asked Governor Tunnel t.
veto the bill.
We have already pointed out, for thu
satisfaction Of those who dread larg
official ballot, that the next election
under tho district eystem, would re
quire much smaller ballots-no larger
