Prefers the Public Schools.
[Lyndonyllle Journal.l

In a recent editorial the Rutland News
comments on the reasons why parents
send their boys from the public schools
to private schools. Judging from per
sonal experience as a teacher in both pub
lie and private schools, we would say
that while the private schools undoubt-
eddy do answer a purpose, the best public
schools are to be preferred If you want
your boys to grow up in a true demo-
cratic atmosphere and learn self-reliance
It is as essential that boy learn to de-
pend on himself as it is to have his head
crammed by tutor constantly at his
elbow.

WILL REPLY
TO REPORT

In the matter of water service for fire or
any other purpose. Providence is far
ahead OF the other cities, excepting per-
haps Syracuse New York. said Commis
sioner Slade OF the public works depart
ment today to the News reporter. l
would not say quite so much about the
hydrants because I have not compared
the numbers and proximities but l can
say that we have larger ones than most
cities. ours being inches in diameter and
the others six.
have been requested TO reply to the
report Of the underwater engineers TO
the National board Of fire underwriters by
Acting Secretary F. j. It. Stewart for the
con mittee and l am about TO do so he
continued.
such a committee was at work and there
were but few OF the important recommen-
cations In the report that were new TO
us or that had already received our atten-
iion.
The report practically calls for a new
city and n new pumping station, things J
do not think will be built this year, but
cannot but commend the tone Of the re-
port, being free from carping criticisms
puts things in the way that the insurance
people desire to have them.
CAN'T BURN BRICK.
Now, in regard to chance of fires in
our pump houses IL is very remote pos
siblity. They are OF stone and brick,
except the old one. for the Corliss engine
which has a wooden roof covered with
copper, and both will end their useful
ness at the same time soon. There is a
little wainscoting at the Hope reservoir
pump house. but that is IN the room
remotest from any fire the heating being
done ny steam only. At Pettaconsett the
window frames are the only woodwork.
Now about fire plugs at the pump
house. There are two hydrants at the
last named place where we put hose 10
wet down once in a while, and we may
as a matter Of sentiment send a few
lengths TO keep them, but the possibility
OF its use is very remote.
MAIN ALREADY ORDERED.
The main in the Woonasquatucket dis
trict is ahead ordered and the increased
main has already been put down West
minister street without any prodding. I
have also called attention TO other mat
ters that will be acted upon in due time.
The report on our city wasn't a circum-
stance to that in other cities. You should
have seen the report In Rochester and
Cincinnati, said the commissioner. Provi-
dence wasn't q circumstance.
In an interview at the city hall a man
familiar with city affairs said today the
fire engines have also been ordered. II
the underwriters get conditions such AS
they picture their business will be gone
There will be no more need Of insurance
