Many Interesting Changes and improvements
iected During the Last Year.

The wear 1896 has seen many interesting
changes and advances in the public school system
Of the city-the natural results Of the growth an"
deve lopment Of a department. that now costs the
city an amount annually that would up the
whole of the immense fortune left by Russell sage
il. a little than two years. In 1850 % the
city devoted about 100000 to education S22ente'
for the school work itself and sl5.o0eoo for school
sites and new buildings In 1857 mare thah
10000 is to he spent for educational work The
BOARD of Education has asked for $ifeiS@o for
sites and new buildings. and SO far sS''A'H" has
been appropriated. In the end. probably more
money viii be appropriated this year than last
for these objects.
According the report made by William H.
Maxwell City Superintendent. there were 565%i2
children registered pupils OF the school system
last May month before closing time In May
1865, there were 546 5SS children registered This
shows an increase for the year of nearly twenty
thousand The interesting feature of the May
registration statistics is this: While in the eie-
mentarv schools there 1885, pupis-an in

The part time problem has yet to he solved
The part time classes had registration of about
eighty thousand at the first of the year. In May
there were sun more imam seventy t"o tiouS''nu

the part time problem will ever be fully solved
There are thousands of unoccupied seats in the

going up i'm Manhattan and the school population
is decreasing Sites being selected for schools
and new buildings under construction in the

the new structures be opened.

lions without special legislation. pro-
vision of the federal constitution for
bids an official of the United States
from accepting gift of any kind from
a foreign ruler without special per
mission of congress. The fathers of
the republic were very suspicious of
the influence of foreign courts, and
devised various safeguards against it.
One of these is the restriction upon re-
ceiving gifts. There is at this late
day, however, no reason for the en-
forcement of this old law The repub-
lie is now so strongly entrenched that
no foe from without can assail it.
France has been the most lavish in
comforting decorations upon American
citizens. 1t is said the house does not
object to authorizing the acceptance of
foreign honOrs, but does not wish TO
be bothered with passing special meas
ures for the benefit of individual re-
cipients. The house would pass an
omnibus bill. and thus get rid of a mat
ter which is of no special Importance
