the Appellate Divisions here and in Brooklyn. So far as lies in the
power Of the Tammany Legislature, the Tammany primaries and the
bench Of this city, political independence has been wiped out

Enough was left, however, for the Appellate Division in Brooklyn to
deny Awemblyman Terry a place on the ballot a. an Independent
candidate from tho Heights district, the ground being that his list

II this decision on technicalihes is alowed-and they are tech

LEST WE FORGET.

ATvHE great fleet that came in at Sandy Hook Q week ago will
pass out again late this afternoon, and only the memory Of
certain magnficences-the night spectacle Of ships outlined
in fame, the days pageantry of movement and color seen through
clouds OF pungent smoke-wil remain of an assemblage Of floating
power that stirred the pulses with its potencies Of war.
Lest We forget, let it be said that Americas face IL set toward
peace, and its purposes should be the more persuasive in world coun-
cis because its ships are well manned and their guns shoot straight.
When it proclaimed the Monroe Doctrine, this country safe
guarded q whole continent from European aggression. Its mission
in the twentieth century is to lead the world toward a goal in which
Justice and not force shall determine controversies. Such leadership
b work for the strong.
The most formidable array Of American sea power yet brought
together is reviewed to-day by the President who planted our insti-
tutions in the Philippines on the heels Of conquest, who himself has
been Secretary Of War, but whose first claim to fame is that he
he's striven as no man before him for peace between nations. His

THE BOY OUT OF H

TvHE American common school is the nations pride-the com.
mon, not the high school. Before the latter is reached pupils
begin to drop out. According to the Federal Commits.
sioner Of Education, half the children are out of school. "More than
four millions" he says, Shave quit school after finishing their Gle.
mentary education who ought to be in high school,"
Not every child should enter high school, vet MANY quit too
soon, and this indicts the system. 1t declares the Termination Of
education" the employment of women school teachers, because thew
are cheaper, In place of men whose oversight and example the bow
needs But this tendency will be corrected wherever, as in this city
hereafter, men and women receive equal pay. Undoubtedly also the
recent development Of high school athletics has done much to retain
the interest OF active lads.
Above all, the child out Of school is a loud call for industrial
education, for training that has more direct relation to livelihood
There must be something to replace the apprentice system, which
passed when the shop gave way to the factory. There must BE-
means Of asimilating the applied knowledge developed so profusel,
in the industries. One German city, Munich, has thirty or NOR,
trade schools, such Is are almost unknown here. When they becom,
common the active boy will not quit school prematurely to Gear,

comments regarding this question OF hat
pins. little has been attempted by the
women. A law should be passed to the

OF the dangers of such pins. as well a,

DU POINT TO BUILD HIGHWAY

Gen. T. Coleman Du Pont is going to
build at his own expense the first
link in the great highway from New
York TO Washington. A boulevard is
an unusual form for a wealthy mans
public gifts to take. Delaware is the
state which is to be made the bene-
ficiary Of such gift Gen. Du Popt.
has offered to give to that state a
highway, running from end to end of
the commonwealth. a distance of 1O3
miles. 1t is to be $50 feet wide and
will cost from $1,000. 900 to $4,000. 900.
In his offer of the highway Con.
Du Point stipulated that he would re-
tain the sides Of the road and re-
quested public utilities franchises up-
on them. This feature of his offer
came in for much criticism and led
Mr.. Du Point to modify 1t consider
ably. He now offers to build the
road, retain the sections on the side.
but turn them over free of charge to
any concern which will obligate itself
to build an electric railway line or
his object is to make the road a monu-
D to improve the state by assuring a
n improvements down the peninsula.
