Gothnn's Public school Fnminc--Iow
and the MayornIty Contest.

*,
herself the metropolitan city OF the Uni
ted States and is proud of her civil admin
istration, yet the fact remains that 10000
children are prevented from Attendance
upon the schools which open next Mon
day ccausc of an inadequate supply of
buildings for the purpose. Ihere Is in
this rcgrettablc condition OF aflairs the
poor excuse that the facts were unknown
or that recent immigration is responsible
for it. During the last school year more
than $1,000 children were excluded from
school benefits and the buid1ng opera
tons began and were interrupted because
of the strikes The same RESPONSIBILITIES
is given this year for many unfn-
ished school buildings. but it is not ac-
cepted by all and it is powerful argu-
mcnt against the much-horaldcd adNan-
tagcs Of Greater New YORK city that
| such condition of affairs should exist
The nomination Of Seth Low by the fu-
| sionists of this city is an accepted fact.
| Opposition to him within the ranks is
| restricted to two factions whose chief
complaint seems to be that they tailed

| they considered their due. Republicans
| have expressed themselves unqualihcdly
as favora bic to Mr.. Low. declaring that
it is due the man rs we'll as the city
that he have future opportunities to CON
! firm his policy. TammanN thought UPON
( the opponent of MIR. Low has not yet
/ crystalized. but it is felt among leaders
of the party that slow haste is advisable
/ it being thoroughly agreed that none save
n very strong man can hope to win
against the present mayor

lures the number of them having in

pie baied out ny these bondSmen are
usually the victims of police raids and 1t
is alleged that the bondsmen are tipped
off 10y the police in order 10 he near tho
scene as soon as the prisoners are taken
to the station.

residents of New York 20 about their
work is exhibited not only in stores and
offices but on trolley cars, the elevated
railroad and on fcrryhoats 1t is custom
larry to sec men reading on tho cars

New York to lind half the passengers ON

humming over music scores, counting up
accounts in little memorandum books
or on the back Of an envelope and porting
over shorthand lessons. Persons study
ing foreign languages read them aloud on

attention to them except visitors from
