q thing deeply to regret. since 1t would per-
petuate what is now a disgraceful condi-
ton OF affairs in the neighborhood OF at
least one Of the veterans homes in In

The following was adopted: Resolved,
That the department of superintendent has
listened with deep interest TO the reports
presented during the present session OF the
good success OF the reforms in the school
administration of several of the large
cities, and the great gain to the cause OF
education which has resulted therefrom.
The various plans which have been put
into practice have several features in COM
mon: they vest the management of schools
In relatively small boards OF education,
elected by the people on a ticket at large
nominated In such ways as TO avoid the con-
tentions of party politics. Under each of
the reform plans the executive duties of
school administration are carried on, SUBJ
ject TO the legislative and supervisory con-
troll OF the board OF education, by salaried
officers who are vested with sufficient DOW
ers by law. so that they may be held re-
sponsible for the proper conduct OF school
affairs.

COnsumptives in New York.

New York Post.
Conservative estimates place the number
of consumptives In the city Of New York
at 24,000, and the proportion of faculative
wage earners at 1900. All other causes of
chronic physical and moral disability added
together do not incapacitate so large
fraction of the community. The proportion
of consumption is OF per cent of the total
population while that OF the insane and
feeble minded is only 03, of the blind and
deaf mutes OBS, and of the convicted GRIM
inal classes OBS per cent. AS to the indus
trial aspect of the case, the moderate esti-
mate of 81 per day makes the loss in wages
of these 1900 invaliGs equal the traction
of $S000,O00 per year from the potential
earning capacity of our community. In
less those eight millions are made up by
charitable RELIEF the families of the con-
sumptives must be brought face TO face
with destitutlon.
At present less than one-tenth of the
consumptives of New York city can be
supplied with hospital relief, and most of
this is furnished by institutions anti
quated as to offer the wretched applicant
no prospect whatever of restoration to even
tolerabIe health. Five hundred Is very
liberal estimate CT the number of beds at
the disposal of the penniless consumptives
in modern or ever adequate sanatoria. Pos
sibly owing TO rotation of patients. one
thousand may be cured or improved an
nually. What shall be done with the re-
naming 70 1000?

Roosevelt and Addicks.

Washington Dispatch to Philadelphia

Mr. Addicks could not have taken a more
certain method OF alternating the admins
tration than by announcing himself die
tator of federal appointments in Delaware.
There is nothing more repugnant TO the
President than that any man should pre-
sumo to trade on his favor for political con-
troll. When Mr.. Addicks's proclamation
was mentioned at the White House to-day
the President said he had not seen 1t, but
that no one had license to say that any
Individual or faction would control federal
appointments i'm Delaware.
