HE IS CORRECT.

Henry R. Edmunds, President of the Board of Education of Philadelphia, has the curriculum of the elementary public schools of tbe city that all home study shall be made unnecessary. Knowledge acquired at the expense of bodily strength and health, be says, is purchased at too great .ppice, especially to growing child and in this contention MT. Edmunds is correct.-Mobile Herald,
 MT. Edmunds is not alone in his opinion, nor is that opinion confined to Philadel- child labor and public sentiment in Ala bama and other States has forced the en- actment of laws to protect the children. but we are sure that the mills and fac tories are not the only places where un- due burdens are imposed on the youth of both sexes? When a child of 10 or 12 goes home from school loaded with books whose study will consume hours which should be devoted to rest, sleep or recre- ation, Is not that child subjected to the same character of wrong, if not to the same degree, that the child in the mill is overworked, while In the other it is the mind. Is possibly stunted body more deplorable than a possibly dwarfed in- tellect?
 These be serious questions. and we may probably be met by the argument that night study does not injure the mind of child, but MT. Edmunds evidently has arrived at a different conclusion or he would not declare himself as above. Fur ther than this, we have seen statements made by competent specialists who in sist that the younger pupils, at least, should not do any night study. And fur thermore, we have read opinions deliv- cred by high class oculists that too much study Is the cause of so many little chill dren wearing glasses as We see them do- ing on the streets every day. Does not the day furnish hours enough for little ones to study?

Foundations Threatened.

Washington Star.
 'The skyscrapers in New York have a new peril to contend with" declared an official of the building department yester- day afternoon. When the new under ground railway system for the metropo- lis was proposed there was much con lecture as to whether or not the founda- tions of the big buildings along the va rious routes would be affected by the ex- cavations and the subsequent vibration of the trains. It was soon pointed out, however, that with the employment of modern principles of construction there was little more to fear on such a score.
 But now an unlooked-for condition has arisen. In building the foundations for the skyscrapers piles are driven deep in- to the ground until they are we'll under water. Then concrete is placed on top of the piles to form a base for the gran ite block on which the steel pillar will rest. It has been found in several in- stances that the opening of the under ground tunnel has resulted in the drain- ing of the, water from number of these pile foundations. thus threatening their destruction So long as the piles remain covered with water they will be pre- served for an unlimited time. The prob lem now before the owners of the big buildings Is to find a way to keep the piling wet It is probable some system of pumping water into the foundations will be adopted. as there is little prospect of the tunnel drain being stopped The problems of the modern city are many and varied '

 Secretary Wilson. just before he left for bis present trip in the West, said that less is known in advance about the yield of the truck farms of the South than any other agricultural enterprise. For in stance, nobody in the business knows just how much of the trucking product IS shipped each year. The information to be distributed by the Department contains this as well as other important facts. T
 Secretary Wilson said that he had hoped to have the issuing of bulletins begun early this season. but found 1t would be impracticable. The first bulletin to be is. sued will be in January next and Will relate t. the trucking industry in' Flor, ida, and, as the season advances. and vegetables mature further north across the Southern States. the crop reports are to keep pace with the promise and con dition and the state of the market.

The North Pole is again liable to be discovered" says The Portland Oregon ian. The expression ''liable to be means that it is likely to occur, whica we do not consider at all probable. We sie tod of an expedition which lately left Nor way. and dispatch from there says that if the captain of 1t 'is able to follow the. course projected 1t will take him al- most across the Poie.''
 Yes, if he is able. Numbers cf adven- rurers have set a proper course, nut they either fail to follow 1t or stop before reaching the right spot. And 1t would be very hard on this new explorer n he should keep on almost across the Pole" and miss it few rods-or few miles. for that matter. That would be to, bad, because he might not know which side he riissed it on, or might not be able to return and bit 1t fair and plump.
 The example set by Sir John Franklin more than half a century ago, to say nothing of earlier efforts. had a bad ef- feet really, because it has stimulated others to attempt what has 80 far rroven AAtApSSShoAC. VohuCILut improvements 1n science and navigation have been made since Sir Johns little fleet set out in 1s45 to discover the Northwest passage and to visit the Pole, if it was found practicable. He failed to succeed but the many expeditions sent out in search of him have had much to do with the mania for pole-hunting and other Arctic explor- ations.
 But the 'if' in the account of the Nor way expedition always gets in the way. If the explorers can follow the correct course. and if they can keep 1t up long enough they will find the pole. if It is still there. And there are plenty of men ready to tackle the job if occasion offers. Peary is both ready and anxious. if some one will put up the price, and others only wait for an opening. They may find 1t. We are not saying 1t will never be found. but if we were going to gamble we should rather bet on Lipton than on finding the much sought and much lost North Pole.

A Railway Motor Coach.


 A railway motor coach is soon to run between Fratton and Southsea It will certainly surprise those who see this strange little combined engine and coach for the first time. It runs on two four wheel bogies. and is divided. as regards passenger pronunciation, into two com partments, first and third, these being separated by a sliding door The first class comparment, where the seats are placed longitudinally, is intended to seat ment. where the seats are arranged in pairs transversely on either side of a central gangway, holds thirty-two per compartments. The motor coach will be used during the middle of the day, when the traffic is very light, heavy trains of the usual pattern being only run in the morning and evening The possibilities of this invention are great when one consid- CTS how suitable such motor coaches would be for the midday and, indeed, lines.

SENSIBLE AND SENSELESS
 NEGROES.

Speaking of the Chicago negro. preach CTS advice to his race to "'sell your coats and buy guns" The Indianapolis Sentinel tells them that If the lawless colored element would sell their guns and buy picks and shovels or other tools and go to work there would soon be an end of lynchings.' and then it tells them:
 And especially should they set their faces against the crime of assault op wo- men. We regret to believe it. but it $ ems certain that lynching can never be~stop- ped in this country so long as that form of crime continues. It is a disgrace to America that 1t is so, but it.is also dis grace that the crime is committed.
 We also regret to believe it." but there is little hope of breaking up lynching as long as. crimes like that at Wilmington continue to occur. And. apropos of what this blatant Chicago preacher said to nis race we find in a recent issue of The New Bedford Standard a condensed state ment of some remarks recently made by a soiored minister of Pittsfield. Mass, from which we make this extract:
 The PttsAeld minister is not the least bit excited over what is generally looked upon as oppression of the negro or as attempt to still further degrade him. For instance, he refuses to rail against the system of sepafating black pupils from the white in the Southern schools, not only not counting this a wrong against the blacks but a positive advantage to them in that the negro children are thus gwen a wholesome school environment instead of the abnormal one that would have come about by the constant remind CT, through the presence of the white children of the negro inferiority. He be- lieves too, that this separate school sys- tenn has made possible the development Of the negro teacher, 10 be an example to his own people and an impulse for racial seli-respect. He hopes the separation of the races will he greater instead of less This Massachusetts minister believes it is the mulatto, with his dual racial nature who is at the bottom of the difficulties in the race problem. He would keep the ne- gro race separate from the white, that It may have a social unity.
 There is more of it, but this is enough to show how far removed this Massachu- setts negro is from the Chicago specimen, whose counsel, if followed, would mean the beginning of the end so far as the race in America is concerned. As the Indian apolis Sentinel remarks. The worst pos sible thing that can happen to the negro is the development of race prejudice. and nothing could develop it quicker than for Eegroes to arm to protect negro crimi- nals. The problem is serious enough as 1t is without any such aggravation as that
