cars. wagons and other sound makers. The
great roar of the city overwhelIns them.
They seem such small item In such q
vast mass. They are Weakened by the
hoarse voice of the traffic In the morning
and they fret to troubled sleep with the
echoes Of the lighter street travel at night.
1t seems to them that they will never be-
come accustomed to the pounding upon
their ears. However, in the course of less
than a year. usually. even the most nerv-
GUS people grow calloused to the roar It
begins to assume q significance. They are
spurred to their utmost energies by It, It
Is like an electric current to many. It
grows less maleyolent and more cheering.
and hence the restlessness of these dwell
ers OF the dense places when they move ito
the quieter parts OF the world.
1t may be doubted, in all truth, II any
considerable number of people would be
rendered Jess happy than at present by the
abolition of some OF the noise nuisances
now nagrantly in evidence in most cities.
1t Is possible to trim of the higher points
of sound without noticeably duiling the
volume of city roaring. SO sweet to the
metropolitan ears. They are the real nerve
breakers, these sudden screams and bangs,
rising above the level of urban muttering,
and these are the objects of the reforma-
tory energies of those men and women
who in New York and elsewhere are trying
to lessen the noise evil

City Noise and Quiet

Those residents of large cities who are
disconnected by nocturnal noises will read
with Interest and perhaps some wonder the
following letter which is printed in a New
York newspaper from one OF its readers.
Having read in your paper a number Of
complaints regarding the noise made AT
night by river craft. feel inclined TO give
my experience. / have spent several win
tiers In the near vicinity of the Hudson
and ann usually poor sleeper, but. so far
from being disturbed by the blowing of
whistles, Ii Is to me a pleasure to hear
them. The deadly quiet of nights In the
country is far more apt to keep me awake
than the noise of the city"
There is a familiar tale of the New York
er who, on visiting a smaller town and
greatly missing the rattle of the elevated
trains outside of his window hired por-
ter to stand at his door all night and rat
tie bunch of cans, to soothe him to
sleep. Perhaps the writer of the above let
ter. Is the hero of that aneedote
AT the same time. 1t must be confessed
TINT the dense quiet OF the country is
something awesome to the city ear There
is something tangible in the very stiffness.
something foreboding. City children on
their first trips into the farming regions
are often frightened by the lack of sound.
or rather by the inhnitesirnal dwindiing Of
oil sounds into the squeaks and shrills and
pipings OF the night creatures, the birds and
insects.
It Is all a matter of environment, Gus
tom and temperament. Yet. one can grow
accustomed to almost anything in the way
of either sound OF silence Newcomers in
New York are for few months almost
paaddened by the din of trains. surfaces

Special Delivery Letters,

A bill has been introduced In the House
providing that the special delivery of let
tiers by messenger may be insured by af-
fixing, upon "two-ceut" packets, a total of
twelve cents worth of stamps, regardless
of denominations or character, provided
the words special delivery are written
on the envelope. In other words, 1t is the
purpose of the bill to supplement the spe-
cia4 delivery stamp, which Is now necessary
to insure the immediate delivery of let
ters of this class. The object Is commend
able. Many a person has been deferred
from using the special delivery facilities
or the Post Office Department because of
the lack OF the distinctive stamp. 1t Is
sometimes impossible to obtain these
stamps while other stamps are almost al
ways available. Indeed, many people think
that all that Is necessary now Is for them
to put twelve cents in stamps upon a letter
in order to secure its Immediate delivery,
and postal officials are compelled to can
eel them without giving them special at
tention. as the law now reads. Hundreds
of dollars worth OF stamps are thus wasted
annually because of wrong impression in
the public mind.
The object OF the law q to enable the

The Immediate. Urgent Need.

The movement to secure reformatorv
legislation for the relief of the public
school teachers of the District from their
present low-salary serfdom should proceed
along the lines of least resistance and
greatest possibilities. With the District
Commissioners on record as opposing a
change IN the method of appointing the
school board. and with the public senti-
ment on the subject by no means crystal
hzed In FAVOR of the innovation, there Is
every likelihood of a determined contest
over the pending bills which propose this
change. 1t is difficult at best to obtain
legislation for the District, particularly
that which involves larger expenditures
for even the most worthy objects, and it
Is certain that success in securing the as
sent of Congress to a longevity nav sys-
TEN for the teachers. calling as 1t will for
slightly larger annual appropriations, will
require the persistent urging of all the
true friends Of the local schools, without
complications or embarrassments of any
kind. With the subject tangled up with
the issue of presidential appointments, and
separate superintendent for white and
colored schools, and the status of supervis-
ing principals. and the formulation of COM
prehensive plans for school consolidation
and the wide range of new factors injected
into the debate by the Foster, Goulden, Oh
colt and Gallinger bills, the longevity pay
propaganda, it is virtually certain, will be
seriously handicapped.
Great reforms are sometimes best ac-
complished slowly. Especially when the
reform consists in a multiple proposition
involving many elements is it wise to ad-
vance by stages. In this case there Is no
vital connection between the principle Of
1OnPhVitv ions nm which oil no
four major measures now pending agree
and that of administrative reorganization
on which they radically disagree. It Is
possible to adopt the one and to leave the
other for later consideration. If the Ion
gevity pay plan could be adopted as the
basis of teachers compensation only
through some measure of higher admin
istrative reorganization, then it would be
necessary to wait for the practical bene-
fits of this method of promotion until
agreement is reached upon such seriously
disputed points that of presidential APP
pointments.
Again, the longevity promotion propo-
sition is no theory. 1t is based upon alb
solutely established principles 1t is uni
versally recognized as wise and just, and
as urgently necessary in this District to
prevent gradual disintegration of the
competent teaching force here assembled
Congress has before it two main PROPOSE
lions, one being admittedly practicable,
urgently necessary and just, upon which
all the proponents of school reform agree;
the other of debatable need and wisdom,
not essential to the immediate welfare of
the schools and certain to be resisted
stoutly The course of wise action is surely
to be seen without difficulty.
