In at least two of the States of the Middle West
the reports of the State school authorities show
upwards OF two hundred district schools in each
State having less than five pupils enrolled. As
American citizens the patrons of those schools
certainly need as much educational development
as any citizens OF Massachusetts, yet can they get
it from a school equipment organized to serve
hve or less pupils?
The primary thing for the country people to do
is to define clearly what are their educational
needs; ascertain for themselves how far these
needs are being met by their district school de-

A SUGGESTION.


Editor Of THE EVENING JOURNAL.
Your recent editorials on live. local
interests prompts me to write this com
fnunicatlon TO you.
I do not care so much about the ques-
tion of whether or not the Delaware
Water Company gets the right to lay
its pipes in this city, as it seems to me
that ample provision can be made for al
lowing this right and at the same time
prohibiting the company from Interior
ing with amy OF the city departments.
What has amused me is the way tho
park proposition has been maenihed
and waved before the people as n they
were securing some great privilege. In
my opinion IL would be far cheaper for
tho city Il IL wants the property at tho
foot OF Fourth street for park purposes
TO acquire title 10 II and permit the
wharf part of II TO be used as "A wharf
understand that the railroad under no
circumstance will allow any Of its prop
erty along the river to be used for load
ing or unloading vessels. and Is insist
ent that this particular piece which it Is
handing 20 the city must not be so used.
OF course after the city takes lease
upon this property, the next logical step
will be for the railroad to ask city
Council 10 exempt It from taxes. In my
opinion TO allow this matter TO 60
through TO its fullest extent Is nothing
more than permitting the railroad to in
definitely hold this property at the ex-
pense of the city and speculate upon the
city's interests.
OF course n the city takes over the
property and then exempts it from
taxes for the railroad. the next logical
step will be to make up these taxes,
which Of course can be done by increas-
ing the taxes upon the merchants along
Market street
II the railroad company has no use for
this tract of ground. do you not think II
would be far better for the city TO enter
upon a businesslike proposition and ac-
qulre Il legally and use Il for the city's
benefit as n whole and not as a guardian
for a specific purpose? There is not a
place along the river where vessels can
come and purchase supplies from our
merchants. Could not this property be
used for that purpose as well as g park
Could not chartered vessels be permitted
60 load and u.load at this wharf?
Respectfully.

Mobility Of Labor.

Probably In no country Of tho world
Is unskiued labor SO mobile as in the
United States. If there is no work in
one place but much work I'm another. a
gang Of men have no trouble In getting
themselves carried where the labor need
is acute. they arc the objects OF fiat
tering solicitation and attention. They
get along very well ON their own ac-
count.
OF. course. employers would probably
like the government o take all this
trouble on their behalf and employees
would doubtless be rejoioed to find their
transportation paid by the nation Instead
of deducted from their wages. IL is ma
turai that they should feel that way. But
since no such paternalistic arrangement
has ever existed in this country both
classes have gone right on and done
business without il. And the results
on the whole, have been satisfactory
IL is hardly necessary TO add that II
this plan Is superfuous in times OF gen.

Newark automobile dealers feel better
when the New York automobile show IS
concluded. because thsn business starts
with a buzz. The Leading dealers of
Greater New York are again being
strongly urged 10 combine and hold an
automobile show in the spring. 1t does
not take very much knowledge of the
show phase of tie motor car industry
to know that unless good cause is shown
that such an exhibition is opportuno
and wished Tor by the public, it will
fall fiat. Shows, as they have been run,
everybody in touch knows, have been 81
constant drain to the retailers. Every
little peg upon which promoters can
hang a reason FOR a show has been
taken advantage OF in the past, and the
patience of the men who pay the
freight is well-nigh exhausted. The
show contemplated for the spring OF
1909 is to be one exclusively devoted IN
machines made in America. 1t is not
quite clear yet whether the Legitimate
and established dealers will concen-
trate upon a plan Of action, but the
feeling is fairly unanimous upon one
point. and that is that a show should
be run according to the dictates Of the
exhibitors.
