PLEASE PITY THE RICH.
Sad Condition of Man Who Has
Wealth Of Brains, but no Market
for Them. st3


Wealth Of Brains, but no Market
for Them. 50
"Pity the poor" Yes. but pity
also the rich, the man who is rich
in brains but who never has had
an opportunity to demonstrate how
much his brains are worth. Ths
man, who is rich in brains, but
lacks the chance to market his
brains. is as much to be commiser-
ated as he who is poor in pocket,
for he suffers more, perhaps. he
sees other who, he knows, possesses
brains inferior to his. far ahead of
him on the high road to success
"How did they manage itP" he
asks himself. The answer is, "they
found the right opportunity"
Organizations of employment ex-
perts like Hapgoods, which is the
very latest American idea, are de-
signed to aid fhe brain-rich but
opportunity-poor men. They search
the, world continually for high
grade men and high-gr oppor-
tunities, and make business of
bringing the two together in the
right manner. This plan is oer-
tainly a boon to the men whose
lack of success is due solely to lack
of opportunity.

mot SO BAD as WE SEEM
The Greatness and Virtues of the
City of New York.

Those persons who are prone TO
believe that the metropolis of the
western world is a bad. bad city
and that its government is gener-
ally inefficient. if not wholly COR
rupt-and there are not few of
them right here at home-are re-
spectfully asked to make note that
at its last meeting the Board of
Education adopted a budget for
recommendation to the board of
estimate and apportionment call
ing for an appropriation of $23.-
260. 1852 80 for the maintenance of
the public schools during tie COM
ing year says the New York Com
merciaI. That amount may, of
course. be whitfield down somewhat
by the approval board. or some
thing may even be added to it
there. but that is the approximate
sum that New York will spend on
her public schools next year.
1t is a prinoely sum indeedl
Twenty three million dollars for
the oause of popular education in a
single yearl Is there another city
in the whole wide world that spends
80 munificently as that for the
training of its boys and girlsP Is
there another wherein the school
moneys are applied more honestly.
economically and effectively than
here in New York; Is there anoth-
er that looks 80 closely to the
health, the comfort and the CON-
venienoe of its school population ?
Let any stranger or citizen but
take the trouble to make tour of
our public institutions here in New
York, and he will find in the main
a magnificent system under superb
management. Look-at our great
chain of public parks, the finest in
the worldl See the libraries, hos
pitfalls. charitable institutions, the
police and fire systems. the courts,
the prisons. recreation piers. the
public drives and ornamental via
ducts. the speedway, the great
bridges and the thousands of miles
OF finely paved and well-ordered
streets. Reflect for moment upon
the vast amount of money that all
this costs and ON the sum total of
intelligence and energy necessary
to its efficient conduct. and you
must inevitably conclude that New
York looks we'll after her own.
What if fire happens OCCASION
ally to be badly handled, or po-
lioeman takes bribe, or an alder
man gets rake-off on public con-
tracts any human system per-
fectP Unfortunately, most of our
shortcomings and peccadiIloes get
promptly into print, and in i'm
moderate measure too often, while
the great bulk of our good deeds is
far too prosaio and commonplace
and humdrum to merit recording

1t was Bret Harte character
who came to the defence of a
rough, lawless fellow by remarking
that "he never 'shooke' his grand
mother, anyway" and that ga man

coadjutor to Bishop Potter.

1t seems to be settled that co.
adjutor to Bishop Potter will be
elected. The convention of the
diocese of New York will meet at
the end of September. This dio-
oese is. by far, the largest in the
Episcopal Church in America, hav-
ing $4,000 communicates and con-
tributing 100000 a year. one
fifth of the sum contributed by all
dioceses per year. Efforts have been
made to divide the diocese, but
sentiment is found to be against
this plan. 1t is considered likely
also that division is impossible
without cooperation of the diocese
of Albany, and nobody believes
that can be obtained. Indeed, ii
is now held to be out of the ques-
tion ever to recast the diocesan di-
visions of the state of New York.
The salary of Bishop Potter is the
largest paid to any bishop in the
new world, sis. /. 900 a year, and with
one or two exceptions the highest
salary paid to any ecclesiastic in
in any religious body. 1t is said
to be unlikely that choice will
be made of any man outside of the
diocese. Several names are men,
toned for the ooadjutorship, but
the one considered most likely to
be united on is that of the Rev.
DIR. David q. Greer, rector of st.
Bartholomew parish, the Wander
bilt one. itself the largest parish
from the point of financial income,
of any in America.
