There are people still living who can remember when the old
reservoir on Fifth avenue was torn down and the library building
begun, but they are few and their scanty hair is gray. 1t must
be to them a keen delight to have at last a reason for hoping they
may see the work completed before they pass away, before Gabricls
trumpet sounds the resurrection and recalls Astor and Icnox and
Tilden TO share in the ceremonies.

THE HOME AND THE SCHOOL.

YER in Lynn, Mass, the School Board has issued
an order that all public school pupils shall brush

600 worth of city bonds because the contract for printing the bonds
was not awarded subject to. the dictation of the Exchange instead
of the law of the State.
1t is not denied that The contract for the printing was awarded
to the lowest bidder, and that The saving to the public purse by
the rejection of the higher bid was considerable. Nevertheless, the
Exchange asserts the right to say who shall print the bonds that
are placed upon its list. and their authority seems indisputable
Thus the city faces a local pragmatic sanction. Fortunately il
matters little whether the bonds are listed or not. New York is
too big to be wagged by the Stock Exchange.

FOR this evil we must blame the optimism Of our predecessors
as well as the foolish building laws of our own generation. The max
ing of a plan for the city was intrusted originally to a commission
of very worthy citizens. In their report they stated that they had
reserved but few spaces for parks because New York has in its rivers
and its gardens so much room for recreation that more was not
c-eGc3. Now, so far from having an amplitude of pleasure grounds,
there are thousands that cannot afford fresh air and sunshine.
1t is easy to say our predecessors were fools, but what will
our SUCCESSORS say Of us?

the parents will have nothing to do with it except to furnish food
