Growing and CANNING Peas.

Tests are being made at different
places in growing and canning peas.
Peas are of especial value because of
their power to add a large amount of
vegetable matter and some nitrogen
to the soil through the nitrogen gath
ering bacteria which live upon their
roots. When grown for canneries,
peas have proved to be a profitable
crop. When grown as food for stock,
peas are of special Importance, since
they contain considerable more pro-
tein than any other common grain.

EDUCATION AND CHARTER REVISION.

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: From the public declarations Of Chairman
WINS of the Charter Revision Commission It is the
apparent purpose Of that body TO recommend such
changes in the charter will amount to stripping
the Board of Education Of power. Apparently, also,
the changes recommended Will involve repeal OF
the Davis law under which the tenure and salary
OF teachers now fixed.
The Board OF Education was established upon
the theory, the soundness OF which has been thor
oughly demonstrated that public education should
be divorced from other public business II is
separate corporation with large powers It is
posed OF men who serve without salary and whose
only purpose is the welfare Of the schools No
one can question that the schools under the admin
istration of the board acting within the Davis
law has been beneficial. New York schools
free from potcs-the great bane Of public schools
elsewhere We do not have TO guess at the results
of placing the schools under the Board Of Estimate
and Apportionment as proposed by Mr. WINS. This
board is necessarily purely political body. Freed
from the restraints of the Davis law. the Board
of Estimate could make of the schools of the
teachers and of the pupils field Of exploitation to
be manipulated will for political purposes The
risk of this tremendous evil is TO be taken in the
mama Of home rule" unless protest is made in
time against the proposal upset the present equ
Iihriun now perfectly maintained under the Davis
Iaw state measure and the Board Of Educa
ton a nurelv home ruls' institution. II Is to be
bonsd that such protest will be forthcoming and

the anasculation of the Board of Education and
the Davis law opens the door TO great evils. Why

HARDSHIP WITHOUT DAVIS LAW.

Sir: Teachers who experienced school condi-
lions prior to state protection OF tenure. Of mini
mum salaries with the three-nnills provision)
and Of pensions will not at this crisis indulge
either in determinations IN visionary vagaries.
Tenure is worth nothing without minimum sala-
RES, but Chairman WINS OF the charter commits
sion has publicly expressed the purpose to do
away with all state protection OF salaries and his
logic would involve destruction OF the pension
guarantee. Mr.. Dougherty, OF the
mission, has publicly voiced the intention to re
peal the Davis law in toto" He predicts that
the Board OF Estimate and Apportionment will
provide adequate salary appropriations" but also
says that school expense has been greatly aug
mented because of the Davis law" thus imply
ing that adequate salary appropriations" will be
smaller appropriations.
