PUBLIC SCHOOL SUPERVISION.
From The Evening Post.

From The Evening POst
Public opinion Will uuquestionably sustain ths
Regents in their plea for unified regulation and
control public educational Institutions in thiS
State. The evils Of ths dual system have Ion@
apparent, but nothing has been done about
it. apparently for the OF definite leadership.
The Regents themselves have now performed a
great public service in formulating diStinct pro
gramme and making public appeal FOR legislation
TO carry it Although II Is well known that
a present bone OF contention between the Regents
and the Department of Public Instruction IS Sne
distribution of the extra allowance OF state tunds
for the aid Of public schools furnishing secondary
or high school Instruction. the board has properly
brushed aside this temporary question. and taken
its stand firmly higher ground. bodily asking
that the Regents be given the exclusive power
and duty of public school supervision The recoto
of the board fully sustains the wisdom Of IT'S a2
peal The board said Governor Odell. In nls
address OF welcome the opening of the Untvef--
sity ConvoeatiOn in June is absolutely withoue
craftsmanship, and Is actuated by the highest mo
lives and the purest sentiment" surely eodS
of which such words can be spoken Is the very ou'
TO which the public schools should be intrussssu
IL Is making no attack the present Superln-
tcndent of Public instruction that 50 lons
part of the school system with the distributor
ot q part OF the State moneys Is under the S1re
Of State ofieer appointed By the Governor. there
will be constant danger OF political influences -

TWO PER CENT A WEEK.

The District Attorney who secured so many
convictions Of bribe givers and bribe takers ID
St. Louis made forcible address in the East
not long ago on the evils of municipal corrup-
ton. This Missouri official did his full duty
with unfiinching resolution, persistence ana
ability. Prosecutions of a different sort may
soon be necessary there. 1t is now evident
that ST Louis has been the chief centre IN this
country of "syndicates" Of turf scoundrels who
have been getting thousands of dollars by false
nretences from foolish dupes. These swindiers
have been promising to pay pronts OF more
than 100 per cent year on the money put IN
their charge.
They were so bold as to declare it impossible
for their victims to lose, and pledged them
selves to keep up regularly payments OF divl-
dends of 2 per cent, or even more every week.
The bubble has burst, and the wailing victims
are left In the lurch. Ferdinand Ward served
a term of several years in prison in this State
for frauds less audacious. Will the turf rascals
in st. Louis escape punishment or will they De
brought to account as the bribe gyers anu
bribe takers have been

TWO PHRASES.
A correspondent writes TO the Editor of The
Tribune as follows:


correspondent writes TO the Editor of The
Tribune as follows:
AS The Tribune seems TO have adopted the
expression ION sale" and Ito somewhat less
extent equally as" will it oblige by giving the
authority for the of these forms, which,
when the writer acquired what little knowledge
he has of the English language, were considered
gross errors of speech; the one equally as
much so as the other?
Acting upon the sound judicial principle that
the onus probandi rests with the accuser, we
might ask by what authority the phrases
quoted are considered gross errors. Waving
that privilege, however, it seems proper to say
that the phrase ION sale" appears to have the
sanction Of long usage, Of technical authority
and Of analogy. Of the four leading American
dictionaries of the English language at hand at
this writing, all give the phrase as unfmpeach-
able, and three give it preference over 'for
sale" Not one Of them hints at the slightest
error or fmpropriety in 1t. Many analogies
occur 10 mind: ION tap" ION CALL" ION view
and the like. Was our correspondent taug t
that these too were all gross errors? Really.
we must wait for some far more convincing
testimony against that phrase before we put It
upon the black list.
Concerning the phrase equally as" we Mead
"Not guilty" IT may be that the phrase has
now and then slipped into news columns.
hurriedly edited at high pressure In the wee
sma' hours" but there certainly has been no
editorial adoption or use OF it by The Tribune
nor is there likely TO be. Nevertheless, that
phrase is really not as bad some have af-
fected 10 regard IL. 1t may be criticised as
pleonastic. as inelegant, as awkward. but 1t is
