necessary TO depart from that decla-

the work OF the New York Democratic

OUR SYSTEM OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS

For some years the educators OF
England have been studying the pub
lie school system OF this country and
comparing it with that OF their own,
10 which comparison our system
seemed to stand higher than that OF
the English. This was rather CALLING
to some of our English cousins ana
an effort was put on foot to have a
better comparison made, and an ed
ucational commission was appointed
to visit the United States and
thoroughly investigate our system
of public schools. The commission
did it's work and returned to their
country, and is said to have lauded
our system to the skies in their re-
port, as the Ohio Journal says 1t de-
serves to be. The Journal further
saws: "Our methods OF Reorganization
and instruction impressed the visi-
tors deeply, and only a few moditica-
tions and changes are suggested a.
desirable. Mr.. Alfred Mosely, head
of the commission, goes so far as to
saw that what he learned in this
country has persuaded him that
Great Britain must adopt a better
o educational system, modelled after
ours. il she is to remain a dominant
nation.
"The chief objection to the Amerl-
can public school plan which Mr..
Mosely urges is that salaries OF
teachers are too low in many cases.
He thinks that inadequate pay for
the instructors in the higher grades
menaces the high standard OF our
educational institutions, since men
thoroughly competent to teach are
often drawn into other professions
which are more remunerative. In
this position, as in his enthusiastic
commentator of our school system
in general, Mr.. Mosely is right.

Sometimes grave Senators forget
themselves and create sensation by
emphasizing a sentence with Ian
guage not very parliamentary. That
was the case Monday with Senator
Nelson while speaking of improving
conditions In Alaska. He was re-
counting the great resources OF that
fine country, what it pouring out
to enrich she world, and contrasting it
with the niggardly manner in which
the government was helping the
struggling territory, and used a real
'cuss word" The Senate broke out
into a real "horse laugh" in which
the Sentsor joined, but was so en-
barrassed he could not continue bis
speech, and apologized as he closed
with "Some time adieetives come
from the heart" He will be more
guarded next time perhaps.

cording to the most conservative esrl-
mates. reach sl2,000.0OO; the total in
surance is $S,360.000
The area swept by the fire embraced
IA acres, and from 5000 to 1000 per
sons are thrown out Of employment
The work OF tearing down the danger
Gus walls has begun. Nearly 25O firms
were put out of business.
In the whole burned district the only
walls that appear to stand intact are
those of the w r. Brock & Co. build
ing. The city council placed all pub
lie, buildings and the exhibition
grounds at the disposal Of the fire suf-
ferers; amended the fire regulations TO
allow of the erection of temporary
structures. and appointed a committee
to wait on the legislature and secure
an act ordering all wires under ground.
The custom house. four-story stone
building at the corner Of Yonge and
Front streets, was the barrier that
stopped the progress of the flames
toward the eastern end Of Front street.
Tons of water were thrown against the
sides of the custom house. That
structure was not seriously damaged.
Dynamite was used on several small
buildings.
Although the business interests Of
the city have been shaken to their
foundations by the disaster, no time
will be lost in beginning the work OF
reconstruction. A number OF firms
have already secured temporary prem
ises. and the work of rebuilding will
be begun as soon as the material is
available
