OUR EDUCATIONAL PROBLEM.

The tens of thousands Of foreign born and the
thousands of crippled deaf. blind and abnormal
children in this city present problem OF great
interest and Importance to the educator as wen
as to the citizen. The law requires that all
children within certain ages shall receive eouca-
ton. The deaf. the blind and many OF the Grip
pied and mentally deficient have not oeen
reached by the public school system ana ho'
thoroughly by any other institution
1t has been found that large percentage or
the children in the elementary schools are tar
behind the normal children of their age In their
studies Last year the number or these was
16O,0S4 or almost exactly onethird the total
number of children in the schools. THESE We're
not all dull children. Many Of them were Dehlnd
because of conditions over which they had no
control such as inability to speak, read or write
English and late entrance into the schools.
Many of these will be obliged to go to work as
soon as the Child Labor law will permit them
to do so. but in the ordinary course of events
they will not be far enough advanced in their
studies to meet the requirements of that law.
Less than twothirds Of those who are grad
uated from the elementary schools enter the
high schools. Last year 1850, or 425 per cent
of the seventh year pupils dropped out without
completing the work Of the eighth year. Most or
these, probably have undertaken manual labor
These are some Of the elements OF the problem
which conrronts ne BOARD OF huucauOn VI luiS
city. An article in another part of to-days Trib-
une indicates what is being done TO meet it,
Especially interesting is the plan put forward
for reaching those who are likely to drop out OF
school early In order to enter the labor class
1t has been proposed that a special course be
prepared for these which shall lay special stress
on the fundamental studies, the three RS and
make 1t possible for every child to secure two
years of shop work with tools before leaving
school In other words a course is suggested
and is being worked out which does not have the
high school in mind, but will be complete in
itself

FRANCES NEW PREMIER,

The accession of N. Sarrien TO the head of
the Ministry is suspicious of good to France
Sixty-six years Of age, he has been In national
public life for thirty years, has held several
portfolios in several Ministries has shown him
self a competent administrator and wise coun-
sellor. and has maintained high reputation
for probity. He was prominently mentioned
among candidates for the Presidency of the
Republic this year, and his election TO that
Office would have been regarded as entirely fit
ting. There are plenty Of men in France Of
Ministerial rank. but there are not many whose
fitness for the Prime Ministry Is more marked
than his, by character, attachments and long
experience.
In politics he has been an Opportunist He
entered the Chamber as a member of the Re
publican Left, and was among those who re-
fused vote of confidence TO the Broglie Cabi-
net Early in his career he distinguished him
self by successfully championing a great in
crease of the fund for free public instruction
In 1881 he opposed ar the polls candidate of
the Extreme Left and thereafter was steadily
cIassed with the Opportunist and Moderate Re
publicans. he has been a colleague In gov
eminent of Freycinet Brisson Tirard. Goblet
and Rouvier, and has shown no little ability In
harmonizing men OF different shades of politt-
cal opinion
This last is an important consideration ar the
present time, for much depends upon his abiI-

Socialist elements. The inclusion Of Messrs

A REPUBLICAN MEASURE.

The attempt Of the Hearst boomers and some
personally ambitious statesmen in Albany TO
appropriate the credit for securing S0cent gas
to New-YOrk is as amusing as 1t is charac-
teristic. If the movement had failed they would
not have left anybody In doubt about the re-
sponsibility of the Republican state administra-
ton for gas legislation. and, indeed, when it did
fail last year there was no lack of reproaches
directed at Governor Higgins for not having
found some means of controlling the few Repub-
lican Senators who defanuy allied themselves
with the gas interests AS he would have borne
the blame for the failure of the bill, 1t is only
common fairness that he should have the credit
for its success.
Eighty-cent gas is distinctly Governor Hig-
gins's own policy. He recommended the bill in
a special message to the last Legislature, and all
his influence was directed toward its passage.
In his annual message this year he renewed that
recommendation. At that time the gas interests
were supposed 10 be so strong that the sugges-
ton was commonly considered rather an ex-
preston of sympathy than forecast of accom-
plishment When the Gas Commission made its
annual report, which it was forced 10 formulate
while yet having gas rates under consideration,
its failure to foreteI its own decision was
widely commented on as an indication that Gov
ernOr Higgins's administration would do moth
ing for the consumers and that its whole pur-
pose had been to bunco the people. Since that
time the Gas Commission has demonstrated it's
good faith, while, % avoid any possible defeat
of its plan by the courts the S0-cent gas bill is
passed in accordance with the recommendation
in Governor Higgins's message, frequently en-
phasized by public statements Of his desire that
such a bill be passed. But for Governor Hg-
gins New-York would not have S0-cent gas.

SURPRISING CRIME IN yoLo.

The killing Of 2 band OF Moro outlaws near

points ~ view. The suppression Of crime &

especially when The crime r. Of q violent and
oensnI nature. We recall some decidedly IN
pleasant and tragic incidents in our dealings
WIZ the MOdocs, with the Apaches and with
the Sioux While such warfare was not re-

doing OF a Necessary work. The lesson has been

rms OF our '1mper1ahstic" policy. The fact is
that they were plain, ordinary everyday ont
laws and bngands- They were as hostile TO
the Sultan OF Jolo as 10 the government OF the
United States. They had defied and resisted
bis authority and all lawful authority. whether

LUSrIcE RRoRNs RErIREMENr.

The United States Supreme Court suffers a
material loss in the retirement of Associate JUS
tice Henry B. Brown. Justice Browns service
reaches back sixteen years to the first half of
the Harrison administration OF his eight asso-
ciates he is still junior to three-Chief Justice
Fuller and Justices Harlan and Brewer. Other
wise he has seen the courts membership rad
ically altered and renewed, Field, Bradley,
Blatchford, Gray, Lamar, Jackson and Shiras
dying in harness or retiring since his accession
to the bench. His tsrm of service-sixteen
years-has been only moderate in length. Chief
Justice Fuller has served two years longer and
Associate Justice Harlan thirteen years longer.
Justice Field retired in 1897 with q service rec
ord of thirty-four years. Mere tenure of Office
is not however, proper measure of judicial
achievement In Justice Browns time the Su-
preme Court has been busted with problems Of
large significance, some of them entirely novel
and requiring a careful adjustment of old ideas
and practices to new conditions. In the settle
ment of the constitutional questions growing out
Of the acquisition by the United States of the
Philippines and Porto Rico, as we'll as of those
resulting from the efforts of Congress TO regulate
interstate transportation and commerce. Justice
Brown has had a commanding influence. and his
services in these fields will enttle him to recog-
milton among the notable judges of his period.

The states in the 4th Circuit have furnished no
member Of the court since Chief Justice Taney's
death in 1864 The Sd Circuit was represented
up 10 1903 by Mr.. Shiras, but when he retired

the states of Michigan, Ohio Kentucky and Ten

Brown and Day-and has had two or more
continuously for the last thirty years II Sec
rotary Taft is to succeed hereafter to the Chief
Jusdceship, the 9th Circuit will be still further
favored 1t cannot therefore reasonably insist
on naming q successor to Justice Brown. The
vacant place will doubtless go TO the Sd Circuit
comprising the states Of Pennsylvania, Delaware
and New-Jersey, which yielded its claim for
recognition In 1903 in order 10 allow President
McKtnley's well known purpose to promote

The death Of Eugen Richter removes one OF
Germanys historical figures and one Of the last
remaining of the Bismarckian age He was one
Of the two men whom the great Chancellor con-
sidered worthy opponents in the Reichstag. and.
indeed. was perhaps more widely and constantly
known as Bismarck's political foe than Windt-
horst He was far and away the ablest Of all
the Radical leaders in the empire. and by his
ability and character commanded the unfailing
respect Of even those who most strongly resisted
his democratic teachings. The leader of oppo-
sition to the government for a whole genera
ton. he practised higher arts than mere rail-
ing and obstruction, and by his intelligent and
suggestive criticism often contributed much to
constructive legislation. 1t would not be easy
to estimate his actual influence upon the prog
ress of affairs in Germany. That It was very
great in the development Of radical and repub-
ncan principles and in the spread Of the free
trade propa ganda Is scarcely TO be questioned.
He never succeeded in defeating Bismarck nor
in breaking down the protective policy. however
his opposition TO socialism effective in
checking the growth OF that ''heresy" as he
called it. But he was great force in German
politics and in the public press and the fine
scholarship Of his speeches and writings-he was
educated at Bonn, Heidelberg and Berlin-gives
them a permanent value in the literature of
German politics and political economy.
