graduates Of last June about twenty thou
sand new scholars have been enrolled for
the first time in the high. elementary and
trade schools. The number OF children
who enter the schools Of the city to-day
is more than the entire population OF the
city in 1850.

Education and the members Of the Board
OF Aldermen have made every effort to
provide proper school facilities there viii
be $4,000 OF New York's youngsters
placed on part time. The holding up OF
school appropriations because Of the debt

its rapid growth. viii have one-fourth Of
its pupils on part time. Brooklyn is still
the most congested OF the boroughs in the
matter Of seating school children. Official
estimates place the number at 10000 Man

ment Of classes in some OF the schools
would make room for many pupils VINO

The members of the Board II Education
are at work on the problem now. During
the summer additions have been made 10
number OF schools, and some OF last
years congestion will thus be relieved The
erection Of school buildings has not kept
pace with the increase OF the number or
scholars, however
The average daily attendance OF New
York's school children is estimated TO be
5e3 ~ in the day schools This is larger
number than the combined average Of at
tendance in the schools OF Chicago, Phila-
dephia, st. Louis, Cleveland and Balti-
more.
Several contracts for new school build
ings will be completed during the coming
term. All of the schools show an increase
IN registration over last year. Additional
sttngs for pupils will be available in Oc-
tcber and November when the new school
at Varick and Houston streets will be
opened. This building has sixty-four rooms
and will accommodate 300 scholars An
other new school ar Lott and Hopkinson
avenues will be opened in November and

The Board Of Education planned 10 open
the new school at Schenectady avenue and

ure held up It's completion, and it Is not
thought that IL will be available until the
end Of November. More than six thousand

PASTOR TELLS OF STRIKE
Mr.. Stimson Draws Lessons from
English Disturbance.

The Rev. Henry A. Stimson. in his SER
mon yesterday morning at the Manhattan
Congregational Church, gave the conclu-
sions reached by him in a personal obser-
walton Of the recent English railroad strike
which practically stopped the industrial ac-
tivity Of that country. Dr. Stimson spent
his vacation in England and was among
the many Americans who were held there
by the strike. In concluding Or. Stimson
said that more humanity was needed TO
prevent another similar outbreak. He de-
clared that the same conditions which
prompted the strike in England were ap-
preaching in America.
He said. in part: -
The most startling fact in connection
with the strike Is that IT occurred IN Eng
land. Among the workmen there there are
no alien forces 10 breed dlScontent Prdc-
tically every one Of the two hundred thou
sand railroad employees was born ana
raised in England, having the traditions, Ms OF
England as his dearest thoughts. Inat
such wOrkmen should deem IL necessary 10
enter into such a STRIKE shows that some
where there was a great misundeFstanulnS
of the lives which the laDorers are lorced
70 lead.
II has always been said that rioting dur
ing strikes was due TO the hoodlum eIe-
ment. Facts in England do not uphold thls
claim. The worst riOting took place among
formerly staid and honest citizens. In
Wales and in Yorkshire shops We're broken
into and goods stolen. Everywhere sunI
den and violent passion for roting and
Uunder became dominant II was SAID
many years ago that man is an unmitgat-
ed barbarian. II the suppression imposed
upon us by the ordinary conventions was
suddenly suspended how long would u be
before we would all revert 10 barbarismE
Throughout the strike the answering
faithfulness 10 the government was re-
rnarkabIe. The reason. however. Is simple.
The men at the head Of the government
have the confidence Of the people. Let the
people lose confidence in the indiViduals
who compose the government ana the
worth OF the government is destroyed.
