Prof Felix Adler, founder of the Society

a position in an educational institution. 1t

During the year 1867 the State of
Wisconsin had seven State Normal
Schools.
One has been since added and there
are now eight.
In the year named the State expended
upon its seven Schools $30S, GS3 30, or an
average of Sil, 097. 81 for each.
The attendance was 1851, an average
of 800 pupils, each costing the State
SHIT.
John A. II. Keith. president of the
faculty of Oshkosh State Normal School,
writes
There is no disposition, so far as | know
to diminish the number of State Normal
Schools in Wisconsin. On tie contrary, tie
disposition is to increase tie uun,Jcr An
eighth school has within year been added,
and there is talk of the ninth.
Maryland has two, and there is reason
for fear that only one is wanted-that
for Baltimore, the future capital Of the
State.
Again-in Mr.. Stephens last report as
State Superintendent, if the JOURNAL
remembers correctly, he estimates the
cost of each State Normal School gradu-
ate at 5000,
In the State of New York, however,
the year before, the officially reported
cost of $3.50 graduates was Sf79.GS each,
and had the States investments in
State Normal School buildings been
considered the cost Of each graduate
would have been SG39 ~.
The JOURNAL has some other State
contrasts with Maryland figures and
notions which it hopes to give erelong.
Meanwhile, Senator and Delegates, do
not permit any multiplication table of
so-called training schools to delude you
into a sacrifice of the better of the only
two State Normals we have.
Rather contend for the dormitory that
will make it completely useful and
valuable as State investment in popular
education.

Baltimore wants more representation
in the Legislature, and cannot get it
without corresponding loss to the
counties.
This is a fact that cannot possibly be
rcfuted.
Yet, it is feared, there are county
representatives weak enough to yield
Baltimore's factitiOus claims.
But suppose Baltimore We're to seek
the self-same object of city ascendancy
over the counties by dcmanding $nq-
fricm reduction Of county representation,
how would the county members regard
city assurance in that shape:
Yet the latter proposition is just as
reasonable as the former.
The House chamber, however, has
about all its seating capacity occupied;
same situation in the Senate. Hence,
additional representation is quite i'm
practicable in either body.
Hence, also, this deficiency can be
supplied in the plans of the proposed
State capital in Baltimore.
For the two projects are united and
concurrent. They mean the same thing

The Treasury Department wants to
remove the revenue-cutter school from
Baltimore to New London, Conn, but
Baltimore protests. Baltimore has so
long accused Maryland counties of keep
ing up a "ditferential' against the city
that if the general government doesn't
look out it will become liable to the same
Indictment.

prises new men-not better men per-
haps, but it is to be hoped they wont

Look Out, Senators and Delegates.

Look Out, Senators and Delegates.
The JOURNALS attention has been
called by philosophical Marylander to
the following clip from the Baltimore
Sun of the 18th inst-a dispatch from
that papers Annapolis bureau:
Senator Campbell to-day introduced bill
to provide for the purchase of site ana the
erection of building in the city of Balti-
more, to be known as the State Building, in
which shall be located offices for the Board
of Public Works and other State officials.
Spencer c. Jones, John Walter Smith,
Thomas II. Robinson, Peter J. Campbell,
Arthur 2. German, Theodore Marburg
John Peasants and John Heating are CON
stituted a building commission for the pur-
pose of securing proper site and erecting
the building. The members of the Board of
Public Works are cr-oticio members of the
building commission, and the Governor is
to be president of it.
The bill further provides that as soon after
the passage of the act as possible the build
ing commission shall organize and select a
secretary, whose compensation shall be fixed
by the commission, and proceed to select
and purchase proper site in Baltimore
upon which the building shall be erected.
Four thousand dollars, out of money
hereafter to be appropriated, is appropriated
for the purposes of the bill.
The JOURNAL 5 correspondent believes
this to be the initiative of ''a scheme to
remove the State capital to Baltimore. "
If so, the county members of the Leg
islature should see to it that the bill does
not become a law.
With increased representation in both
houses and both houses within a Balti-
more environment, Baltimore would be
come the state and nothing less.
The capital should remain at An
napolis-for economical as we'll as his
torical reasons.
AS the situation stands, the counties
have some show.
The capital removed to Baltimore, the
counties would get just what Baltimore
chose grudgingly to give them-no more.
Annapolis was the capital of MARYLAND
nearly 100 years before Maryland rati-
fed the Constitution of the United
States, and has been the capital III
years since.
1t should remain so.

amendments.

Section al of proposed amendments
to the Charter provides for the merger
of the Offices of Town Clerk and Col
lector.
If the JOURNAL remembers correctly
the petition which objects to this ar
rangement presumes or pretendS that II
affords opportunity for graft as
though all applicants for the Once
might be ''grafters.'
But Sections 146-A and l46-B require
Of the Clerk and Collector the same
security.the latter has to give now.
And Section IA requires the Treasurer
to charge the Clerk-C Collector with all
the taxes and under the current system
he will continue to be charged with all
the water dues.
How. then, is he to rake off any
taxes or water dues without the Treas
urer-who, of course, will not be
"grafter." although merging his office
with that of Councilman finding 1t
out?
Section 16l endows the Mayor and
Councilmen-no the Clerk and Collec-
tor, with power to license, etc, ana II Is
not ikelv-all of them, will go bind
when it comes to ascertaining whether
the Clerk and Collector makes cash re
turns accordingly.
In Justice, therefore, to the proposed
/
reason, it is to be hoped that the Allie
ganv Senator and Delegates will comD"r'
the terms Of the petition "ith those Of the
bill before turning down the latter.
They should remember, too, that one
of the easiest things to acquire III TINS
world is-nalnrS 10 q prttio", and that
probably the most fortunate of all the
fates is-nO mans life is Imperfect by
1.-The sacred right of petition.
For instance, if Mr.. Pink Whiskers OF
Pocahontas knew that a petition quite
numerously signed, especially by small
politicians, would hang Col. Whoop
Koffkutter of Bullygany, the first thing
he would do would be to draw up
paper intimating that the colonel might
turn out to be an undesirable Office
holder, get some influential If not inter
ested citizen, like Titus A. Brick, to
sign it. and names would 90 on 1t like
flies on drop of bogus molasses. The
court, taking the HItDtbcr of names serl-
ously, would have no recourse but to
sentence the poor colonel to the galloWs.
But the amendments, having provided
for an office for the Clerk Collector,
lack one corresponding provision of vital
Importance requirement competing
taxpayers and water-consumers, as well
as hcense-hunters, to conn" and pay WCW
tarps at the CIcrk-C0HcctOr'S CWce. The
public service-the machinery which
protects property and life, should not be
compelled to r,n after its beneticiaries
for its means of support. They should
not be forced to rup after even those
signers of petitions who take the fact
that they must be dunned and dunned,
and dunned as token that, after all, 1t
is optional with them whether they pay
or not.
The torn, in gctt,ug It's o"D. sho"ld not
be reduccd to the statns Of the beqgor,
whom it sometimes arrests for begging.
The JOURNAL believes those who are
promoting the bill should supply this
deficiency, for the law is a paradox that
compels an official to maintain an office
accessible to the public" and then com
pels him to go out of the office i'll pursuit
of 1.-The public
