wheeling's public schools have al
ways been a matter of pride to her cit
liens. The standard of free education
here has always been high. The edu-
cational advantages of Wheeling are
brought out in comparison. by facts
and figures relative to the public
schools in cities of approximate popula-
ton in the United States, which are
now being compiled by Clerk Walter
Hall. of the Board of Education.
Some time ago the Board, upon the
motion OF Mr.. A. l.. White. decided TO
send out printed blanks containing
number of questions. principally to de-
termine the length of the school year
elsewhere. and incidentally to enable a
comparison with Wheeling schools in
other features.
Clerk Hall has received about thirty
filled blanks. nearly all from cities be-
tween 25 900 and $4,000 population.
With reference to the length of the
school year. they show that about half
have ten months. and the other half
nine months. Huntington. w. Va, has
but eight months of school.
Among the queries we're questi'~
concerning the assessed value of prop
erty for school purposes, and the tax
levy. The information upon this point
is difficult to tabulate. for the reasons
that the questions were misunderstood
in some cases, and because the methods
of assessment vary so radically. Prop
erty in some places is assessed at Its
full value, and in other places as low as
one-fourth its Nctual value. In some
instances, however, the amount OF
money available for school purposes Is
given, in which cases comparison with
Wheeling is made possible.
There are few, II any cities, of equal
population In the country. in which
the school taxes are lower than in
Wheeling. The levy this year Is "A
cents, which will give $f0l 200 for
school purposes. Binghamton, N. Y.
with $4,000 population, spends $685.
417.64 annually on her schools. Sioux
City, Ia, with $4,000 population. spends
sl35 900; Elmira, ~ Y, $4,000 popula-
ton, spends 10000; Quincy, Ills, pop
ulation $4,000, has $4,000 year. In
Huntington the school levy is 20 cents
for eight months school. and in Par
kersburg it is so cents on the 500
valuation.
The average wages paid to teachers
in Wheeling schools is about the same
as are paid elsewhere. In Wheeling
teachers are paid from $45 to $5S per
month. The following table will be
found interesting by way of COMPARE

Horace Greeley often could not read

wrapped IN soothing sleeps;
No sound intrudes to mar the silence ,

The streets respond no more

No passers by their fellows

No laughter rings in merry chimes

Soft sleep hath now

And harsh, diseordant sounds

Liberty.

The Boston Globe comes very near stating a fact when it asserts that ''lib. erty" is the most loosely employed term in the English language. The Globe quotes approvinsly from a speech delivered in the senate by the late Senator Davis of Minnesota. in which the Globe says he rebuked the selfshness masquerading under the name of liberty in the following terms:
 People prate about liberty, and de- fine that liberty as the liberty of the particular c ass they are speaking for. The only liberty worth having in this country is the equal liberty Of all men alike. Liberty in it's philosophical and common-sense definition consists in that right of each individual to exer- else the greatest freedom of action up to. and not beyond, that point where it impinges upon the like exercise of freedom of action of every other man. Beyond that it is the destruction of the liberty of the weak by the stronger. subversion of the very theory of the republic. .''-Detroit Free Press
