THE SCHOOL FUND.

The Board of Education has dealt with the
grave problem of its reduced funds In probably
the best way it could. We set forth in these
columns on Tuesday the terms and exigencies
Of the problem. Faced with demands for the
expenditure of more than million dollars, and
with available balance of little more than
half q million with which to meet them, the
board simply had to apply the pruning knife
relentlessly. So, on what we must hope is a
sort Of "nisi prius" plan, it voted to make
sweeping reductions in the number Of sessions
of evening schools and In the salaries paid to
their principals and teachers; to discontinue al
together the recreation centres, Fairgrounds
and vacation schools; and to cut down by more
than % per cent the allowance for the free
lecture courses 1t is evident that each one OF
these economies will lessen for the time the eff
fciency of the city's educational system, and
we must therefore regard with regret the ne
cessity of making them
We trust however as we have said, that
they viii prove to have been made on ''nisi
prius" basis, and that before they are actually
put into operation, or very soon afterward, the
necessity for them will be removed by admins
trative or legislative action and all departments
OF the school system will be restored TO full
efficiency. This hope is strengthened by the
fact that earnest appeal is to be made to
the Board of Estimate and Apportonment for
a supplementary grant. There can be no hesl-
tation in saying that, if it be in any way posi-
BILE, such a grant should be made, There are
surely other directions in which retrenchment
can be effected with less injury to the public
than in the field Of education. The sum of
$4,000 is not large when compared with the
total budget Of the city, or when compared with
the amount Of good for the whole mass OF the
4l,.& H.
priation and judicious expenditure of it.
Beyond the appeal to the local authorities,
however, which, we trust, will prove success
full, the Board OF Education wisely decides to
make an appeal to the legislature for perma-
nent relief. This is to be sought in an increase
Of the statutory allowance for the general
school fund. Formerly that allowance was one
Of four mills. Because of expectations which
have not been realized, it was reduced to three
mills. That reduction, it is now pretty plainly
seen, was too great. 1t was more than the
cessities of an efficient school system could
be for restoration Of the full four mills, but
for splitting of the difference" by increasing
the allowance to three and half mills. That
it is thought, would be sufficient for the re-
quirements Of the schools. If so, such legisla-
ton should be promptly forthcoming The four
and a half mills certainly would not be, while
q crippled and impaired school system would
be q source of serious and irreparable loss.

ming it, would seem TO be acting on the Sher-
man principle
With a perfectly obedient Bridge Commits
sioner. Murphy ought to make good thing out
OF the department. He can see that the Roeb-
nng-Croker concern is not overlooked in the
planning Of bridges and the making OF con-
tracts He can see that his friends of the Met
ropolitan Street Railway Company are not sac
rifced TO McCarren's friends of the Brooklyn
Rapid Transit Company. The Bridge Commits
sionership In these days OF new contracts and
new franchises is as well worth Mr.. Murphy's
attention as the Dock Department 1t would be
carrying gratitude to the point of quixotism to
give such plum tree to McCarren, for nobody
who knows McCarren supposes that he would
fail to shake it industriously or would send
more than a complimentary basket of fruit
across to Murphy. So Tammany will take the
bridges for itself, and McCarren, to fill up the
chinks in his fruit basket, can go and beg plums
in the Brooklyn garden from Mr. Littleton.

BE CROSSED THE BRIDGE AND TOOK IT

1t is painful to feel that the Hon. ''Pat'' Nc
Carren is unhappy. The ingratitude of prince
Charlie Murphy indeed appears a match for
the prOverbiaI ingratitude of princes Certainly
Tammany is under obligations TO McCarren. and
it would seem as If it could do no less than give
him charge Of the gates Of his own borough
We should be sorry to think that Tammany dis
trusted so useful an instrument as the sugar
house statesman, and, taught by the way he
turned on Mclaughlin, feared to clothe him
with too independent powers. Such a suspicion
would not do credit to the heart of either Mr.
Murphy or Mr.. Mcclellan, however it might be
with their heads. McCarren served them a
good turn, and they owe him something more
than late dinner with cold food and hot air,
and few minor appointments, rather less than
they throw TO one Of their own district lead
ers- McCarren, be it remembered, IS not
mere district leader. He is what corresponds to
duke under the feudal system He has barons
ana bosses under him, holding their political
estates In tenure from him since he deposed
ther former hege lord, Hugh the Holy, of
blessed memory. His is one Of the great fefs
or the Kingdom, and he is entitled to wear his
hat in the presence Of the sovereign.
Yet McCarren, while he may be aggrIeved. has
not much reason TO be disappointed. He invited
the Tiger to cross the bridge He offered ~
surrender the Independent sovereignty of the
Brooklyn Democracy and make il fef Of the
Tammany empire. What more natural when
the Tiger crossed the bridge than that he should
pick up the bridge after him and put it in his
pocket? Bridges are useful thing. Every mill
tary strategist knows the wisdom of keeping
control of them. With the bridges at your COM
mand you can always cross yourself when you
want TO and keep the other fellow from cross
