The New York Catholic School Board
reports total Of pupils receiving in
struction in the parish schools In the
boroughs of Manhattan, Bronx, and
Richmond, as n,1i9, and the yearly cost
of their maintenance, 1914, 2SiGO. The
board also appeals for state aid in the
maintenance of these schools. The
board recognizes that public funds
cannot be used for the teaching OF re-
llglon, but II has a way out Of this
difficulty 1t proposes that the schools
themselves stand the expenses con-
nected with the religious instruction,
and that the state furnish the money
for the secular instruction. That is in
genious, But why should the state
maintain district schools for all, and
parish schools besides for those who
do not care to patronze the district
schools. on account Of their non-re-
llgious character?

THE HOUSE COMMITTEES,

II was not TO be expected that the
Speaker Of the House, In making COM
mlttee appointments, would satisfy
everybody, or escape censure. II Is the
policy OF some papers TO pitch into
everything and everybody open TO cri-
tloIsm. But we do not think the strong
unimadyerslons that have appeared In
print, Of the selections made by Speak
err Hull Of the chalrmen Of the several
committees, are either justl6abe or in
good taste.
In attempting 10 find fault with the
Speaker one paper really insults the
gentlemen appointed rather than the
object of It's attack. 1t says:
''Some OF the heads OF committees
couldn't tell the difference between q
statute and a cross-eyed icthyosaurus II
they had an encyclopedia for reference.
and yet they have been selected 10
frame legislation affecting the lives
and property OF the whole State"
That Is not only severe on those
'heads OF committees" but upon the
people who elected them ITO frame leg
islatIon affecting the lives and property
Of the whole state" The Speaker Is
not responsible. either for the alleged
shortcomings Of the legislators or the
action Of their constituents in electlng
them. He had 10 use such material as
could be utilized. Just as publishers OF
newspapers are compelled to do, and
his choice was made Of gentlemen who,
IN his judgment and that OF competent
and experienced legal and business adj
Visers, appeared TO be the best adapted
TO those positions
But ehalrmen Of committees are not
appointed to frame legislation" in
the way our contemporary suggests.
That duty devolyes upon the whole
comittee IN each case, and what they
do must be passed upon By the entire
assembly. A head for each committee
is necessary. OF course. but he has no
more to do with the actual framing
OF the legislation spoken Of than other
members Of the committee have.
II would be fair to other gentlemen OF
the House, " our contemporary would
kindly designate which Of the "hepds OF
committees are so dense, and stupid.
and unqualified 70 frame legislation"
as It describes. We are Of the opinion
that the remarks were made IN haste
and should be apologized for al leisure.
And also that when weighed In just ball
anoes, the heads Of committees viii be
found Of sufficient weight for the work
required. and that they have been care
fully selected with a view OF their spe-
cial qualifications for the posts at
which they have been placed We think
Speaker Hull has done remarkably
we'll and for a new hand at the busl-
ness has exhibited more acumen than
was even expected by his closest
friends.

TROUBLE WITH COLOMBIA.


The negotiations with Colombia for
