THE REMAINING OF BALTIMORE.

Two years ago Baltimore visited by dis
astrous fire which ragged for nearly two days and
left the greater part Of the city's business sec
ton In ashes. The devastated covered 1851
acres on which had stood banks. hotels. news
paper offices and business buildings. The resi-
dence portions of the city untouched and
no lives were lost: but Baltimore awOke after
the fire to find that its business interests were
homeless and that property valued at more than
S1Oo.OOO,OOO had gone up in smoke. 1t was
stunning blow. But Baltimore is a community
with true American pluck Facing its losses
with courage and wisely taking advantage of the
opportunity 10 improve as well to reconstruct,
IT has in two years created a modernized city,
with greater comforts and cOnveniences and bet
ter fitted in every way to survive in the struggle
for commercial and industrial supremacy.
The Baltimore Sun summarized last Tues
day the progress made in two years toward re-
facilitating the city. The exhibit is astOnsh-
ing one. OF the burned district area 800 lots
were sensibly taken by the municipality for wild
ening the streets. OF the remaining lots eighty
five in each one hundred are covered with
new buildings. The assessed valuation of the
buildings burned was S1290S.300 The assessed
valuation of the structures replacing them is
already S2OOOO.O00. In restoring and enlarging
the city The Sun" estimates that $197. 900 900
has been expended. OF this total $50OOOOO0 was
voted from the city treasury. S27,OOO.OOO was
spent by quasi-public corporations and S120-
/ 100000 was spent by investors and property
/ owners. MisfOrtunes are often said To be bless
ings in disguise. This is exemplified in Balti-
more's case by the great awakening of local en-
ergy and civic spirit which followed the fire.
On rebuilding in the burned area and the re
punishment OF stocks and material destroyed
I The Sun thinks that about $1O0O0O0O0 was
expended. But building operations have been
almost as active outside the burned district as

Iyn makes It almost impossible for the students
I'm that borough to make use of them. All that Is
quite true, and yet the argument is not convlnc-
ing. There is widespread and Intelligent behef
that despite the undoubted good work which
they have done. these two free colleges should
never have been founded at public expense,
and that at least until the primary, grammar
and high school service Of the city Is adequate
to public needs and is raised to the highest
degree Of efficiency, the city has no moral right
to spend the money Of all on college education
for few. Those who support that view VIII
not find In the fact that precedent which they
regret has been set in Manhattan a good reason
why It should be initiated In Brooklyn
1t would be good thing to have uni
versity Of Brooklyn" but instead OF seeking
artifcially and arbitrarily TO create it with
public funds it is earnestly to be considered
whether it would not be better to develop 1t
by a natural drawing together and consolida-
ton of existing institutions upon the financial
basis Of existing property and private munif-
cence.

UNIVERSITY OF BROOKLYN"

Mr. CIRCUITS ambitious scheme of creating a
great university in Brooklyn has made progress
so far as to be embodied in the draft Of a bill
to be introduced at Albany for the incorporation
of such an institution. a number of estimable
and public spirited citizens of Brooklyn are in
terested in 1t and are committed TO its promo
ton Upon the face Of it there is much to
recommend it. Brooklyn needs improved and
enlarged facilities for higher education. 1t has
a number of good academies and some profess
sionaI schools and colleges, but nothing COM
parable with the universities In Manhattan
and The Bronx, wherefore all young men and
women of that borough who wish to pursue
university courses must go away from home
With existing transit arrangements it is prac-
tically impossible for them to attend Column
ba or New-YOrk University as day students
1t is probable that there are enough who would
attend a Brooklyn university to give such an
institution large student body.
The existing academies colleges and profes-
sional schools in Brooklyn would it is assumed
if incorporated under a single administration
at once provide most Of the departments of a
fairly well balanced university There are col
le2es for men and for women, Il scientific and
technical school, n law school and a medical
college, and all these have been invited 10 be-

DISCIPLINE At ANNAPOLIS

OF them at alias they should've result is a
peculiarly awkward dilemma. The members Of

quitting an accused midshipman against whom
there is clear case or else feel that in some
measure they have been instrumental in wreck
ing the young mans career. He must be dis
missed IN disgrace and forced 10 abandon his
ambition TO rise In exceedingly honorable
profession. In one case in which this fate was

Roosevelt interposed with pardon, but that
