THE FIRST SUMNER SUND4,


Yesterday was the first Sunday of our
glorious summer. What if the astrono-
mers tell us that it does not begin until
June p? The sun and everybody under
il know better. Ferries were crowded,
railroads packed. streetcars damned.
The question of the end seat awoke from
its winter sleep Men boldly defied the
calendar with straw hats. and draft
horses spent their day of rest wonder
ing whether their own straws would
make them look siliier than usual this
season.
The lions in The Bronx reared the
glad tidings TO their countryman the ele-
plant. who trumpeted it to the rhinoc-
eros, who wigwagg it with his ears to
gnu. giraffe and hartebeest who gam
boiled with glee. In their joy these
Africans forgot the gloomy news of the
early return of the Hunter. The an
thropoids grinned from ear to ear, the
parrots whistled and shrieked. and the
prairie dog sedately sat up at the en-
trance of his burr0w, approving of a
transformed world. But in their cage
their tepid pool, and sighed for the
beautiful zero days of winter, when the
iron bars arc so soothing and cooling to
the tongue.
Children played and sang and fed the
squirrels. and ran on the grass under the
smile of sympathetic policemen, and the
swanboats in the park were freighted
with Lohengrins whose Elsas were not
always curious about their names. At
the soda water fountains ice, and ever
more ice, dethroned the cleaning, steam
ing hot water apparatus; hoky-poby, the
'ha penny cooler of our British cousins.

on Cherry Hill the Scared veterans of
many a midsummer battle were loosening
the bricks of the chimneys in prepara-
ton for another field day.

Mr.. RooSeyelt'S swing around the Eu-

already know enough of the impression,
or rather the radically divergent impress

of various nationslties TO attempt to
combine them into n composite Euro

merge such glaring differences of opin-
ion and obtain a recognizable resem-
blance. Our French friends, especially,
have done their imaginative best.

epithets they have bestowed upon him.

PCBLTC TRADE SCHOOLS FOR
GIRLS


The establishment of Il trade school
for girls as a part of the free public
school system of this city is hailed as
marking an epoch in our educational
affairs. Ii probably does, or will, in
two respects. and in both of those re-
spects we have no doubt that it will
be widely regarded with enthusiasm.
That enthusiasm will not. however. be
universal. and not a few thoughtful and
henevolently disposed persons will de
cline 10 c0ncede that in either of the
two respects the new departure is com
mendable or desirable. though in exist
ing circumstances it may upon its face
seem necessary.
One of the salient features of the
achievement is the further establish
ment Of the principle Of technical edu-
cation in the public schools There can
be no question of the desirability of
expert instruction and training in the
industries. and there are many who
advocate the doing of that work in the
free public schools. Others dissent,
holding that the public school system,
HABi1oi b'|i -. an people. give
equality OF service 10 all and should I'M
dertake nothing which would not he
available 10 all, or practically all Thus
primary and grammar school instruc-
ton should be had and supposedly is
10 be had lay all. But that is not the
case with trades and professions. If
one trade is taught. fairness would seem
10 require that all should be taught.
And If the trades, why not the profes-
sions: If one boy is educated by the
state 10 be carpenter. why should
not another have equal claim to free
public education as a lawyer or a
preacher:
The other feature is the esta blisa-
menf of the principle of trade schools
for girls as well as for boys 1t is an
obvious fact that women and girls are
very generally engaging in industrial
snd business occupations, ard therefore

PooLRooMS AND PooIRooMs,

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: We want publicly to thank Mayor
Gaynor for pointing out TO the Police De-
partment the difference between a pool
room. such was known years ago, and a
certain kind of gambling house.
The indiscriminate application OF the
term poolroom to places devoted to gam
bling on horse races has placed a stigma
on reputable billiard rooms. many of which
are called poolrooms. because the patrons
play at a certain style of billiards known
as pool"
There is no justification for continuing
the word poolroom in the sense heretofore
employed. coufounding billiard rooms with
gambling places. and by publishing this
letter you VIII help correct the impression
prevailing with some of the uniformed
that billiard-pool rooms are taboo with the
police. CHARLES p NITJEp

by a tenant ! few days ago for a parcel
which he had left for safe keeping with
''one of the colored boys" Excuse me,
sir, said tie polite haliboy. I'VE prefer TO
be called negroes. The tenant smiled, and
asked what objection there was to the word
''colored," which was so generally used.
Well, he said, when YOU say 'colored'
it's sort of an excuse for us-just a little
better than niger: and many of us like
the piainest word, negro although there
is no objection TO 'Afro-American.' The
man did not know until he related the in

had recently decided that the term negro

MOYER TELLS GOMPERS
HE DID NOT CRITICIZE
Report of Disparaging Speech
Denied in Letter

WASHINGTON, Aug S.-President
Samuel Gompers of the American fed
GRAFTON of labor today received let
ter from President Meyer of the wesr-
ern federation of miners denying that
in his speech before the recent miners
convention at Denver he had made a
statement disparaging either to the
American federation of labor or TO
Gompers as its president.
He explained that he had told the
delegates that Gompers, after 80, years
of labor, should be retired on a pension
for the good work he had done. If
the policy of the American federation
was wrong, he declared he also said
to the delegate 1T was their duty to
endeavor to change it by becoming a
part of the national body
Meyer asked Gompers to name the
place and time for conferences be-
tween representatives of the American
federation OF labor and the western
federation of miners looking to a
merger.
Gompers said today he would en-
deayor to arrange the conference for
the latter part of this week. or the
first part of next, and it would prob
ably be held in Chicago.
