Mayor Mcclellan said that he believed that the
State Of New York had peculiar duty TO perform

state. New York should show by example that
the possession OF wealth entailed responsibilities

To the state constitution which had been adopted
Dy TWO successive legislatures 1t was estimated at
late hour tonight that the amendments were de-
Ieateo by majority of about 5000 out of a
toeai vote or about 65,oo1, The apathy which was
manifested by the citizens in the election was re-
necteo IN the Indifference of the election officials
and even the most meagre returns were difficult to
obtain.
Enough votes were counted. however. TO demon
srate that the organized efforts made against the
amendments had been entirely successful. and that
they had been supported by only a small percent
age OF those voting
The amendments In brief provided for the re-
vision of the judicial system of the state as re-
CARDS the higher courts; the extension of terms
the Governor. members of the Legislature and
county officers; doubling the salaries of members
OF the Legislature, and electing Assemblymen by
districts instead OF counties.
The proposition TO raise salaries of members of
the Legislature was carried in Jersey City and
Atlantic City. where an effort made to pass
this amendment and defeat the others. In most
OF the counties the judicial amendments received
vote slightly in excess OF the other amendments.

10000 votes cast in the city OF Newark. out of a
total of e0,Oo0 The amendments in that city were

The patrons and pupils came the
first day, and I never saw a more
enthusiastic meeting. They were so
proud Of their school, and said they
were too poor to send to the railroad
town, one and half miles away,
where other children were we'll
dressed.
There were about a dozen children
from families which were friendless,
living in very secluded places, and
having been soured by mistreatment
rarely left home or visited, looked
on everybody as their enemy; but
we finally won them over, and tried
to let some sunshine in their lives.
I never saw a more pitiful lot of
children.
The pupils came regularly, studied
we'll, and during March and April
made such wond erful progress that
their parents came often to hear
them recite, and took their children
to neighbors and to the railroad town
to let the merchants hear them read

and spell. This caused parents near
the town to send several very back
ward children to me, and [ was very
successful with them.
The patrons wanted to bring din
ner, invite their friends and rela-
tives. the last day of May, and have
me to examine the children publicly,
which was agreed on by all.
The immense crowd that gathered
listened attentively all day to the
exercises, and those timid, backward
children Of six months before faced
that crowd with ease and independ-
ence and did so well; the order was
good.
A proposal to build a nice school
building was enthusiastically re-
ceived, and plans were maturing
rapidly, when the wealthy, infuen-
tial citizens of that large railroad
town objected. They said the school
must be closed, it would ruin their
school, because few backward chill
dren near their town came to our
school. And it was closed, my salary

Some of our country people have
found out the cause and wish to
build good graded schools and sup
plement the public fund by tax, in
order to employ good teachers, but
the towns object 1t will ruin the
town school by stopping the we1l-to-
do farmers from coming to town to
educate their children.
So sharp lookout is kept up, and
any effort to build a good graded
school is spotted and nipped in the
bud, because if one is built others will
follow and the town will suffer, be-
cause a fine school will build up
business center, stores, gins and
warehouse, and the big town will lose
a few bales of cotton, some trade, and
half-dozen pupils
Now just suppose it were possible
to get our wealthy, influential citi-
zens Of our county towns to hold this
dollar far enough from their eyes to
see a short way into the future. and
get their consent to help the half
cropper build a school they would

me paid in full.
The Commissioner said that fifty
cents in the dollar, with salary paid
by other county, made my salary
equal to any teacher in that county,
and they wished to be fair to all.
Which school was most needy and
had best right to public funds? Did
those few backward children that
came from near town injure that
large town school? No, indeed.
1t seems that | did my work too

of the poor, just satisfied the two
well-to-do families. I would have got

long as I wished. If I had done
nothing, it would have been all right.

Quently the great difference of laws
Does a single laWmaker, who help
ed make the last school law, send his
poorly dressed children to school only
the winter months through woods,
over long, muddy hills, two miles to
school, and have those in primary
grades taught by one of the larger
pupils or a young lady in the neigh
borhood at salary of Sc, 81 or $40
a month, not sufficient to pay her
board, and where the teacher is
changed almost every term and
sometimes every two months? And
most of the pupils put themselves in
a higher grade every time the teacher
is changed. Under such conditions,
could the finest teacher in the world
give satisfaction? Can pupils un-
derstand the seventh grade studies
when they have not mastered the
third and fourth grades?
Our lawmakers have their schools
from half to a mile apart over
paved streets or ride in a school
bus, with police protection; the
very finest teacher for primary
grades, no pupil is allowed to rise a
