PERILS OF THE STREETS.

There have recently been some pretty strong
utterances upon the subject Of perils to limb
and life in the streets of New-York. They have
not been a bit too strong in any respect; for
those perils exist and are realized in grievous
disaster, if not in actual tragedy, almost every
day. 1t is really appalling to read the number
of accidents, maimings and deaths occurring
in the streets OF New-YOrk as reported in the
daily press OF course, the great majority of
minor cases, and of cases in which the worst
results were narrowly avoided are not reported
at all, and SO are not the innumerable multi
tude of mere annoyances, delays and what not
to which users of our highways are subjected.
The point best worth practically emphasizing
is that all, or nearly all, OF these things are
preventable, and would be prevented if we had
proper laws upon the subject and they were
properly enforced. Probably the most numer-
Gus and most serious accidents are those caused
by the running of automobile vehicles at too
high q rate of speed. Within the last few DAYS
the number Of such disasters has been startling
and the public has been treated to the spectacle
Of motormen running cars for miles through the
streets at twice the legal speed defantly ieer-
ing at the police and refusing to stop or slow
down when called upon to do so. They were
knowingly and Intentionally breaking the law
in a most dangerous manner and trusting sor
safety u Int SpcSu VI euglueS ana 10 the
concealment of their identity which their masks
afforded. The number of such impudent mis-
creants seems to be increasing, so that instead
of relaxing them the laws upon the subject OF
motor cars need TO be made more severe
The practice of sending business delivery
wagons through the streets under the charge
of children of tender years is another prolific
cause of evil. Such infantile drivers usually
drive recklessly, without regard to the rules Of
the road or to the safety of other people. Often
they indulge in races, prodding their horses to
wild Gatherings and gallopings along frequented
streets. OF course, in case a horse gets fright
ened and runs away, a baby driver is quite
helpless. II cannot be too strongly urged that
a stringent ordinance should be adopted that
would make the sending out of such drivers a
penal offence. 1t would be we'll il horses and
vehicles thus incompetentIy and irresponsibly
driven were TO be treated as estrays and i'm
pounded to be released only on payment of a
round penalty. The same should be done with
all that are left standing united or unguarded
as many are every day. Such regulations might
entail upon some people some expense in pro-
curing more competent service. They would

THE SCHOOL SITUATION.
More Letters from Persons on the Inside.
A DANGEROUS DEsPoTIsM.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Your articles relating to the Department Of
Public Instruction timely. am very glad IN
deed you have taken up the matter. The aggres-
stve activity OF that department during the entire
summer has been offensive a it has been unfair.
I regard the organization of the Department OF
Public instruction extremely despOtic and en-
trely contrary to the spirit of repubcanism and OF
common sense. The idea Of giving to a single per-
absolute authority without the possibility OF
appeal is absurd. The present management Of this
great department Of the State government is in
defensible, whether unifcation is accomplished or
not. The Department OF Public Instruction should
certainly be modified and the despotc power of the
superintendent restricted. To leave the immense
interests of that department so absolutely in the
control of a single person is most dangerous I
sincerely hope the large legislative committee an
pointed last spring Will devise plan of uniication
that will continue the benefits the Board If
Regents has conferred, and protect us from the
despotc ministries OF the Department OF Public
Instruction. Yours very truly,
GEORGE Fl. BALL.

good results. do not believe that the educators
Of New-York State desire that it's schools be
dragged through the mud of party politics. and I
am quite sure that a large majority OF these per
sons are at present relying upon the Regents to
keep our educational system above the reach Of
party officials. The New York Tribune can do no
better service to the educational interests OF this
commonwealth than by maintaining the high po-
s1ron which IL has already taken in the articls
herein referred 10. Yours respectfully.

there were doubt in the minds of the

make the giving of 80 vast and expen-

matter of fact the business ordinarily
done by other shows would not have
been profitable, but it was immensely
profitable, and packed houses rule
