nANGEROES SCHOOLS.

Too much amaZement and uneasineSS may
easily be aroused by the latest official report of
Mr.. G. B. J. Snyder, Superintendent of School
Buildings. MIR Snyder informs the Board OF
Education that 40 schools in greater New
York do not afford suitable protection against
fire and attendant risks OF this number
twenty-three are in such bad condition that the
superintendent advises their immediate deser
ton. Inasmuch as the replacing of all the 4s9
non -ireproof structures with freproof ones
would cost about SEQ. 600 600 Mr.. Snyder thinks
an Improvement here and there will have to
do for the present. In view of the new Brook
lyn subway and the cty's debt limit, Mr.. Metz
and others doubtless agree with this view: but
probably thousands OF parents feel that finan-
cial considerations ought to be waived if the
occupants of 429 schools daily exposed to
death by fire. This is unreasonable anxiety.
The true significance of Mr.. Snyder's report has
been somewhat distorted. The superintendent
pronounces 429 schools imperfect in some re-
srect: but neither he nor body else sup
poses that all these arc tiretraps Doubtless
they fall far below the standard set by the
school buildings erected during the last five
years: but. then. do nest public and pri-
vate buildings i'm the United States. In Nh
Snyder'S list are included all school buildings
of second class construction. such as those hav-
ING wood floor beams: but Mr.. Snyder himself
explicitly SAYS ttaf tOeSe DulIulnSS are hoi
necessarily unsafe for use for school pur-
poses However unidcal such schools may be.
their continued occupation involves little more
risk than that incurred every hour of the day
and night by all tenement and apartment dwell
crs.
Alarm and emergency measures however
are fully Justified in some specific cases Of
which Mr. Snyder notes fewer than twenty
three If 30 many school buildings are as dan
orrously constructed and arranged as the re-
port indicates the public cannot be expected
to withhold lis Indignation nor the city its
funds Only fragrant negligence somewhere can
account for the existence Of So many fr"trapS:
