Efaeieney Of public Schools.

President Eliot, of Harvard, always
a sturdy friend and champion Of the
public school, cites in the annual report
of the university another fact which
speaks volumes for the public. schools
efficiency or the three sorts OF schools
which send pupils to Harvard public
schools, endowed academies, and pri-
vate schools-the public school sends
the pupils best fitted to. pass the en-
trance examinations. A larger per-
centage of ,high-school pupils take
honors in the examinations, and n
smaller percentage pass unsatisfactory
examinations, OF fail.
One reason, not stated in the report,
Tor the high standing of the public
school pupil, says an exchange, is, no
doubt, his great earnestness. Many of
the pupils in the academies and private
schools are the SONS of rich parents
who are led to the Pierian Spring, but
all the. k king's horses and all the kings
mei1 cannot make them drink. The
pqblic-school pupils are often strug-
Cling against adversity; they regard
education as a privileg, a prize to be
woni and they, are the kind of men
who justify the higher education.--

Total Expenditures of Jas.
H. Peabody for years s., ,275.s7o
Excess of Peabody over
Adams. 1874, $50
The figures above show the ex-
penditures of the state during the
fiscal years 1897 and 1898, when
Alva Adams was governor, and in
the years 1908 and 1904, with
James H. Peabody as governor.
1t will be seen that the expendi-
lures, not including military, during
each year of Peabody's administra-
tion have been about the same as
for the two years of Adams.
Peabody's revenue in 1908 was
SI,o74, 1sI, compared with Adams
revenue in 1897 of SoI6, 556.
Peabody's revenue in 1904 with
the last quarter in the insurance
department and secretary Of states
office estimated) is s1,74o, 900, COM
pared with Adams revenue of
SeII,5S7 in 1895.
The Peabody revenue for the
two years is S3,4I4, ISL, compared
with Adams revenue of 81, ,S27,e43,
or less than one-half of Peabody's.
In addition Governor Peabody had
a surplus Of about Sioo, ,ooo carried
forward from Governor Orinan's
administration. All the money in
hand will have been spent at the
end of the Peabody administration,
and it is expected that a considera-
Bile amount of bills will be carried
pver unpaid 10 the next admins
tration.
Over and above this great ex-
penditure (Which exceeds that of
Governor Adams by about 81 ,6oo,-
ooo) the announcement is made
that the debt incurred for military
purposes is S75e,3se. If the cost
of military operations be added to
the other expenditure the total cost
Tor two years Of Peabody is S4.e1.s..-

$40, conipared with Alva Adams
expenditure Of $1,000, 400 for two
years. Peabody in two years spent,
not Including military, st,ot4 Sol
more than Adams. Including
military, he spent 81, 2,3z4 $50 more.
Where did Governor Peabody
get all the money thus lavishly
distributed? The official reports
show. In each OF the four years
under consideration the full state
tax of 4 mills OH the dollar of as
sessed valuation was levied. The
assessed valuation in each yeat was
as follows:
ADAMS YEARS.
1897 sie7 325 900
1895. .............. to2, ,243 ,o8o
fEABoDY's YEARS.
1905. .:.......... 1888, ooo, 900
Ieo4.. $50, 900, ,ooo
The assessed valuation being
nearly doubled tinder Peabody and
the tax rate rerhaining the siriie, it
follows as matter OF course that
the money payed by tile taxpayers
was nearly doubled. In 1858, for
instance, the states revenue from
this soufce, allowing s per Gent de.
duction Tor failure to collect, was
about $3.50, 52i. In the present
year, under Peabody, also deduct
ing S per cent iincollected, il is
about 81, $50, 900.
The new revenue law also Has
largely increased the receipts or the
state from sources other than the
4-miil tax. During 1897 and 1893
the receipts of the secretary of state,
the insurance department, interest
on deposits and miscellaneous fees
and collections amounted to sa7o,-
900. During 1905 the new revenue
law returned to the Peabody treas
ury from these sources s4oS, ISL.
During the present year, with the
last quarter partly estimated, the
receipts figure $4,000.
a comparison Of the taxes col
lected in the form of fees, etc,
therefore, stands as follows:
Under Adams 100000
Under Peabody. S1S,7So
Increase under Peabody. s44s, 7so
Peabody thus had revenue of
over 100000 year more than
Adams from the increased fees and
taxes levied by the new revenue

NEW WATER ORDINANCE
PUBLISHED THIS AFTERNOON.

The full text of the new water or
dinance, adopted at last nights meet
ing of the council, will be found in IN
other column of this issue and should
be studied by owners of lawns, as the
officers say they will rigidly enforce
its provisions. The new ordinance is
a departure from the usual rules gov
erning the use of water for irrigating
lawns. All the blocks in the city are
divided by a line drawn from north to
south through their center. All the
owners of property on the eastern half
of the block may use water on Monday,
Wednesday and Friday, between the
hours of ) and 8 a. m. and 5 and 8
p. m. and on Sunday between the
hours of 5 and 8 a. m.
Those or the west side of the block,
or facing the street or the east, may
use water during the same hours on
Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday and
between the hours 5 and 8 p. m. Sun
day. In this way the full force of the
main goes to one side of the street all
the time. 1t is also thought that there
will be less violation of the ordinance
as people who use it out of their hour
will practically be taking what be
longs to their next door neighbor and
the latter may assist the officers in a
measure in seeing that the law is en-
forced.
