USING THE SCHOOL BUILDINGS
A Plea Is Made for Money to Utilize
Them as Social Centres.

To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: We desire through your columns
to call attention to two items in the re-
quest OF the Board of Education for funds
to be expended in 1914 The various civic
agencies and agencies dealing with pub
lie recreation In New York have recog-
nized the need OF rigid economy in the
tax budget OF 1914, but they have con-
Cured with practical unanimity in rec
ommending two items on the ground both
OF public necessity and OF economy.
The arst OF these items is a request
by the Board OF Education FOR S.l25. TO
be used in paying for Janitorial service in
sixteen social centres and fifty musical
centres In public schools. In these centres
all expenses, with the exception of light
heat and janitor service. will be met By
the people themselves or by the neigh
borhood associations or social centre COM
mittees In other words. the city will con-
tribute 5000 for janitors. and the people
will contribute several times $500 In the
form OF leadership. music and the actual
establishment OF the school buildings.
The buildings will be used at times when
they would otherwise be idle.
The second item to which we urge at
tention is the request of the Board Of
Education for 1886, to pay for the in
struction and janitorial service in l65
after-school athletic centres, operating
for 1873 nights each. This type Of work,
which is more than a year old in the
schools. reached $500 boys last year, III
total cost Of 1882 to the city. The per capt
Ia cost OF l.3 cents "A child day is remark
ably low. The provision of one paid lead
er In each centre makes possible the ac-
tivities OF many voluntary helpers. The
boys are reached at a time when they
street with all the physical and moral
perils OF street play. They are not only
kept off the street, but they are taught
and inspired In constructive games and
competitive athletics.
We very strongly feel that these two re-
quests of the Board of Education. though
specifically they appear to be requests
for increased appropriations. are in fact
i'm the direction Of radical economy. The
school inquiry committee has reported
that approximately 10 per cent Of the pub
at times when IL might be used. represent
ing dead waste of interest and sinking
fund to the amount of over s2,500,0co a
year. In the mean time, the crime rate
among children and the death rate are
being increased through unregulated
street play. which 1t is proposed to coun-
teract through after-schoo athletic CEN
tres. As for the social centres, they pro-
vide elements OF civic teaching, social life
and recreation. combined in neighbour
hood institution which is largely governed
by the people themselves and largely
supported by the neighborhood.
We urge The Tribune and its readers
to make known their approval of these
requests made by the Board OF Educa-
ton.

The New Governor and His Hard
Task.

Governor Gynn enters Office with the pubic
sympathy and good wishes. He has nara tash
ahead of him If he wants to retain the respect Oh
the voters he will have to prove that the election OF
Sulzer has not Injured to Murphy's benefit. If he
wants to enjoy Murphys favor and support for re-
nomination he will have to show himself better
servant in office than Sulzer was. 1t is trying
predicament for any man not large minded enough
10 do right without regard to the immediate personal
consequences.
Mr.. Glynn's record as Controller was good. After
he became acting Governor he conducted himSel1
with proper sef-restraint the only respect In when
he fell short being his refusal of Suffers offer TO
submit to the courts at once the dubious consttu
tional question as to the suspension of the GOV
errors powers from the moment the Assembly
voted TO submit articles Of impeachment Had he
concurred the result would have been exactly the
same and he would have obtained credit for Will
ingness to take slight personal risk in the interest
of a prompt as well as a fair settlement. a
The new Governors announcement on taking office
was commendable in tone and spirit. On one point
however it was too vague Il will not be faction
list" he said. The troubles at Albany which
brought disgrace upon the state were not due to
Democratic factionalism Suzer was a Tammany
man when he was elected and had been one bred in
the bone for more than twenty years. His fight
with Murphy was not factional but personal hith
erto docile follower suddenly defyng the orders OF
an incensed leader over matters relating to the dis
tribution Of spoils.
1t is to be hoped that Mr. Glynn does not conceive
the disagreements between Sulzer and Murphy 20
have been fractional, and that in saying that he Will
not be "factionst" he does not mean that he will
try either through concessions neutrality to avoid
hostile complications with Murphy. The people
want to see him stand like rock against the in
iquitous system of intimidation and spolation which
Murphy represents If opposing Murphy is engaging
in factionalism Mr.. Glynn ought to be doubledye1
factionist ready to fight to the end for the dignity
and independence of the Governors Office, Most Of
all if Murphy sends him any BLACK Hand" letters
telling him to remember Suffers fate, we hope that
he will calmly throw them into the wastebasket
and not nervously ask Ryan or any other potentate
to interest himself in STAYING of the consequences
of a break with the boss.

AGAINST MRS. PANKHURST
A Suffragist Urges That Her Meet
ings Should Not Be Supported.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: DO suffragists realize that every dol
lar paid into the boxofiice to hear Mrs.
Pankhurst is to be used tor militant pur-
poses in England? Whoever goes to hear
her is aiding and abetting arson and van
dalism and helping to bring on The heads
Of suffragists an avalanche Of just criti-
cism. The work is at "A critical point In the
country and the party cannot afford 10
be put, for the first time. on the defen-
sive.
The very fact that Mrs. Pankhurst is
forced TO come to this country to ill her
war chest shows that her society is los
ing strength where it is best known. She
is not coming to help suffrage or she
would have advised with leaders here be-
fore taking the step. VIII every woman
who expects to contribute ask herself
what good neighbor OF her own she would
choose as the victim If arson We're used
as method of persuasion in the United
States? The English owner is also her
neighbor.
IL Is not true that conditions in Eng
land Justify anarchy. The militant men,
bers OF Mrs. Pankhurst's society are Il
handful compared TO the working thou
sands of the great law-abiding organiza-
tons who face the same conditions. 1t is
they who are doing the hard tedious, tell
ing work of educating the public to a new
Ideal. and If II were not for the public
opinion In favor of suffrage, created by
forty years OF such constitutional work.
the militants could have died in prison
and no one would have cared.
Imagine what the outcome would have
been II Florence Nightingale. instead OF
demonstrating the magnificent power for
human service going to waste In women
and then signing her name to the first
suffrage petition to indicate her wishes,
had burned down a picture gallery.
Would such an act have commended suf-
frage to an Indifferent electorate?
Since her day. mainly by the initiative
and steady work OF law-abiding suffra-
gists, every profession in England has
been opened to women: they have secured
the right to higher education; they have
been granted the municipal vote; they
have won property rights; they have
served with distinction as government Of

THE END OF TAMMANY

Verdict.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Good citizens generally all over
the state can read in the verdict against
Governor Sulzer the disintegration and
destruction OF Tammany Hall That II
is being accomplished by those OF its own
household proves that wisdom Is indeed
justified by all of her children, and II this
Impeachment signifies anything it means
