connection with the Taft Commission. The
Pope had been led TO believe by Archbishop
Ireland that il sort of diplomatic mis-
sion empowered to carry on diplomatic nego-
tiations with the Vatican and to establish Off
cial intercourse between this government ana
the Holy Seat. even If of a temporary char
acter Now that the Pope and his Secretary
of State have been cruelty undeceived on this
point they are much disappointed. and there is
little doubt but what they are holding Arch
bishop Ireland responsible for the misunder-
standing.
From somewhat extensive knowledge of af-
fairs at Rome 1 am led to believe that the
choice will lie between Bishop Mcdonnell, OF
Brooklyn, and Bishop Farley. and, while the
latter is undoubtedly the choice of the clergy
of the archdiocese, Bishop Mcdonnell enjoys al
together exceptional favor at the Vatican, and
is likely to be ed there better fitted to
carry out the ideas of the Pope and of the Cur1a
in connection with this see. Indeed, it is doubt
full whether there is among the entire American
hierarchy prelate who. while thoroughly Amer
lean in his patriotism. is more completely i'm
bued with the policy and views of the Holy Seat.
On the other hand, the wishes of the laity, which
are In favor of Monsgnor Farley, will carry
much weight. For the Roman Catholic Church
in this province, and its numerous institutions
of one kind and another charitable and educa-
tional-and most of them brought into existence
through the initiative of the late Monsignor Cor
rigan-are entirely dependent upon the volun-
tary contributions of the laity, who it is known
at Rome would be far less willing TO intrust the
administration of their offerings to some prelate
who is a stranger than to one who has, so to
speak grown up among them, and who has al
ready proved his spiritual and fiduciary fitness
az a Bishop in the Archdiocese of New-York.

SKY SIGNS MAY BIZ METAL
THE ALDERMEN ASKED TO REGULATE
THE HEIGHT AND MATERIAL
OF BILLBOARDS.

DR.. Milo r. Maltbie, chairman of the commit
tee public advertising of the Municipal Art
Society of New-York informed a Tribune re-
porter yesterday that the Committee on Build
ings of the Board of Aldermen had finally re-
ported the ordinance regarding biboards and
sky signs, for which the society has been work
ing for long time
The ordinance provides that all bilboards con-
structed of wood shall not be over ten feet in
height, but when consisting entirely of metal
they may reach. but not exceed. eighteen feet
and six inches. Sky signs must be constructed
entirely of metal and may not exceed nine feet
in height. Alderman Ware in his report to the
Board of Aldermen states that the ordinance
has been drafted with view of restricting the
mammoth signs which meet the eye at every
turn. and that as the ordinance applies to all
equally it WILL without injury to any person, add
greatly to the artistic appearance of the city.
DR.. Maltbie remarked that although the ordi-
nance did not meet fully the wishes of the NUM-
cipal Art Society," which recommended that all
billboards be limited to ten feet in height
whether of metal or of wood, and that sky
signs be done away with entirely, the society
considered that great step in advance had been
taken, and that much credit due the CON-
mittee of the Board of Aldermen for the way
1t had responded to public opinion and its evil
dent interest in the beauty of the city.
Under the present ordinances billboards and
sky signs were practically unlimited in height,
and although the ordinance reported was not
ideal it would accomplish much toward the en-
Enlistment of NewoYork
1.-THE ordinance" DR.. Maltbie went on to say,
will undoubtedly be taken UP at the next meet
ing of the Board of Aldermen, and will probably
he passed as the restriction of advertisements
has met with almost universal support on the
Part of the press and the public The Municipal
Art Society is especially thankful to The Trib-
for the admirable way in which 1t has urged
the proposition and the prominence it has given
to the subject"

TOO MUCH PERSPECTIVE.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Many parents were interested in your ed
itorial Of May % school Examinations" and
few will take exception to the concluding sentence
There many, however. who believe that the
educational system of State does not need
revolutionzing regards of it's methods.
especially regards Normal colleges Gradu-
ates of Smith and Wellesley find their requirements
more burdensOme than any they have known be-
fore. For example: class in drawing is told that
a chair can be drawn in one hundred and twenty
different positions regards perspective-on,
all in the class, receive the impression that the
nearer they approximate to this number in their
work the better. Personal inquiry of the teacher
as to the number required receives the answer
that the scholars too old to be commanded"
The reasonable inference is that 1T will be meritori
Gus for them spend time needed for rest and
recreation in drawing many chairs possible
and doing that, and have drawn sixty or
a hundred.
submit whether the presentation Of fifteen or
twenty chairs drawn in correct perspective would
not be good a test of the pupils comprehension
of principles the drawing of one hundred and
twenty. And 1 submit further whether the en-
enlargement or liberation of such superfuous
work is absurd and cruel. Ambitious conscien-
tious students (who scOrn to consult concealed
textbooks in their examinations, as some do) are
the ones who suffer. This is but illustration
of what to be petty and outrageous eXac-
tions that need revoutioni2ns. Am wrong?

That delusive bathtub, constantly quoted
