STATE AUDITORS REPORT.

The report of Mr.. Jesse y. Jewkes,
yesterday morning, shows that the
State paid out the past year $o62,-
S3s,29 for education, this including
| $504,4 ,4l9,34 to the district schools;
S262 ,503.7S to the University; $l3s,-
5S9.22 10 the Agricultural College, and
and blind; amounting in all to 33 per
cent OF the total revenue of the State.
If we include the $57.273.67 expended
on the Industrial School in the educa-
tona expenditure, the aggregate is
S1,0l0, 0,lll.a6, or 3J.7 per cent,
The amount charged against the Uni
versity, however, for the past year,
seemingly n great increase over former
years, should be considered in con
nectioD with the much smaller amount
of 1909 which was but S121, ,476.03,
Thus equalZed. the amount per year is
$lal ,9S9.SS, and as the appropriation
IS biennial, the equalizing is proper,
This brings the average of the two
years in line with the S192 ,259.SS OK
penditure on the same account in 1908.
The Agricultural College also shows a
considerable increase in expenditure in
1910; but this is to be considered in
the same comparative light. And the
college had an increase of $4,000 from
the United States, the Congressional
for tho Experiment Sta
tlon being raised from $4,000 TO
$40 900.
Tenn 'rarv loans and interest, $405,.
105.52, figure as the largest item in
the report. So far as the straight inter
est account goes, this is unavoidable;
but the revenue system which we have,
imposes upon the State the same neces.
sity OF borrowing temporarily, for cur
rent needs. until the taxes are paid in
the Fall, that all the other taxing
anits In The State must endure. Under
a law which compels the accounts of
the year to be settled in the year. the
New Year begins with little left to
run the government on until near the
close of the year, and so borrowing is
4 necessity, but an expensive one. Per
haps some dav we may get out from
Inder this load.
The report is a. business.like docu
nent, one in which the taxpayers will
AXE much interest, and which will be
both a guide to and check upon the
Legislature.

POSTAL FINANCES.

The report of the Third Assistant
Postmaster General, who has to deal
with the financial system of the Post.
office Department, discusses earnestly
the deficit in that department. and
other matters relating to the finances
under his charge. He has jurisdiction
OF the accounts of the department, su-
Dervision of the manufacture and issne
OF postage stamps. envelopes, wrappers,
and postal cards; of the money order
system, of the registry system: of the
classification of domestic mail matter,
including the determination of the ad.
instability of publications to the second
class mail rates, 1t is seen, therefore,
that the jurisdiction of the Third AS.
sistant Postmaster General is very wide
and very important.
His report shows that the excess of
expenditures over receipts during the
past fiscal year, ending June Both, was
S5,S4S, ,566.SS, to which should be added
$32.9l5.07 loss by burglary. fire, and
other items, making the total deficit
s5,SSl ,4S195, decrease of $II,59S,.
2SS,52, as compared with the deficit of
the fiscal year 1909. 1t is to be hoped
that the vigorous warfare against the
deficit, which has reduced it by two
thirds in single year, will be kept up
until that unsatisfactory feature of the
department operations may be wiped
out.
The report shows that the freedom Of
the mails by the use of penalty enve-
lopes in the departments. and through
the franking privilege is "availed of
with undue liberality,' which is a mild
way of stating that this privilege is
abused. We do not think, however.
that the use of penalty envelopes in
the departments is subject to this criti
cism. 1t is the franking privilege that
shows the great abuse. and that loads
the mails with tons of matter, not only
useless TO those to whom it is sent. but
which is useful only, and that in an in
direct way, to the Congressman who
send it by wav of courtiug favor with
their constituents. Doubtless the
fraDking privilege will be much eur.
tailed, as it should be; and if this
were done, there would be no difficulty
within year or two of turning the
postal deficit into credit balance.

THE SENATE AND THE STATES

We are surprised to see in as staid
paper as the New York Commercial
an lnterrogatory editorial suggesting
the abolition of the United States SEN
ate. This wonder increases when we
see the ground upon which the sugges.
tion is made. to wit, that the great
difference In population between the
several States works an Injustice on
the larger States and to the undue ad
vantage of the smaller. But this So
called injustice was the very basis upon
which the original colonies were able
to get together and to unite under
the constitution. 1t was necessary to
so establish the upper house of Con
gress as to give each prospective State
equal representation in order to pro
tect the weak States, which otherwise
would have refused to join in the or
ganizat tion of the government.
When we see further that our New
York contemporary urges its sugges-
ton upon alleged facts. that are not
facts. then its case falls to pieces com.
pletely. 1t says, "there are twenty
five States that show a population of
less than 100000 each in the census

REPORT ON TRADE SCHOOLS,

The committee which was appointed
TO report on the subject of industrial
education and manual training in the
schools, made report TO President
Thomas at the present session of the
State Teachers association. The COM
mlttee called attention to the fact that
they have had but short time within
which to consider the matter com
mitted TO them in all its bearings,
and they explained that their report
is less to present an exhaustive inves-
tigation than to state the problem and
open up the subject.
Considering industrial education, the
argument why industrial education
should be made q part of tho school
training. This portion makes consid
erably more than half of the text Of
the report. 1t shows that the necessity
for industrial education arises through
the social needs of the child, through
the natural demands Of child nature,
through its relation to character build
ing, and by reason of It's economic
value. Then the report discusses how
industrial training should be introduced
and taught, and finally it urges the
preparation of teachers to take charge
of the instructual work.
The final conclusions Of the commit
tee wero printed in The Tribune yes
terday morning in full. They tend
distinctively to urge utility and prac-
tioal training in the direction of the
activities of life as the ends to be
sought. This is clear departure from
the old-time idea of education. which
concerned itself chiefly with the prepa-
ration of students for academies and
with the ultimate purpose
that those pupils were to attend college
and university, and get classical edu-
cation. But the public school system has
chiefly different object in view. SO
few Of the total number
who attend the public schools ever get
beyond the grades, that it is seen that
some other aim than classical educa
ton must be recognized in the grade
-"'i "'ioiib oou th'o ciloil " Set dI
means, whereby the pupils may obtain,
while going through the grades, some
practical instruction in the activities
of life in which later on they will take
part, is certainly most commendable
The Tribune trusts that the idea put
forward in this report will be elabo-
rated upon and exemplified In the
school work to as great an extent as
possible, and increasingly as the years
po by
