THE PFaRF EXPEDITION.

Whoever has closely studied the history Of
polar exploration must Ice convinced that the
chief essential % success is leadership. When
the comparative failure OF several recent Arctic
ana Antarctic expeditions is scrutinized one

Since his return from the North year ago
misgvings have been entertained by his admir-

might have felt that the limit OF indulgence had
been reached and that IFS own needs were para

was removed a few days ago. when Secretary
Darling gave the most cncouIa ging assurances.
Not ONLY is formidable obstacle removed from
Pearys path. but his project receives a con-
menCation which gives il a new status before

PRAISE AND BLAME FOR THE SCHOOLS.
The public schools of this city reopened last
week with more than half million pupils en-
ro1Ied That is an impressive number, and the
I,r-cs, on record IMPRESSIVE also and gratify-
ing is the fact that room in a schoolhouse was
made for every qualified applicant Not child
,vas turned away for lack of room. Some were
temporarily assigned TO part time classes, anu
some were put into temporary quarters III
rented buildings; but accommodation of some
sort was found for all That is an achieve
ment not hitherto known in New-1Ork Tor
wears. II has been effected only through great
efforts. and credit for it is due to the present
city gov. mont.
II j. a.a.ifyinC we say; but only because or
the contrast it presents TO the conditions OF
former years There ought always TO be, as n
matter Of course. full time school accOmmoda
ton in permanent quarters for all the qualified
children Of the city. That there is not and that
there has hitherto not been. are blistering re-
proaches 10 Tammany Hall. For whatever
scantineSs OF school room there now is cannot
bc charged against the present, hut inevitably
is TO be charged against the preceding admin
lstration. IL takes two or three years. and often
more, 10 acquire a site and erect modern
school building. The present administration
been impossible for it to put up buildings for
use this fall The new schoolhouses it is build
ing will come into use under the next admins
tration. The blame for present inadequacy Of
school room rests upon the administration that
was in office three and four years ago. 1t was
then that accommodations for this present fall
should have been planned and provided Had
that administration done its duty there would
today be not only room for every child, but
also room in full time classes and in permanent
school buildings.
There is no mere campaign pretence. but cold,
concrete fact, in the statement that for the
achievement OF housing and teaching in some
fashion all this mighty army of half a million
boys and girls the city has 10 thank the present
administration, and for whatever unftness Of
school accommodation there still IS and FOR
whatever deprivation Of full hours of instruc-
ton some children still suffer, the city has 10
blame the old Tammany administration.
