parative statement printed in Inc

low the actual expenditure of last year
But is there any likelihood that the
actual expenditure will be less the
present year than it was last? we
do not see any reason TO expect any
reduction at all.
Nor do we see why the expenditure
should be so materially reduced IN the
Department Of Public Safety. The cut
Of $4,000 on the Police Department
is not encouraging to the enforcement
Of good order. The cut of $4,000 on
tho Fire Department is disconcertlng
from the standpoint of the very natu-

EFFECTIVE EDUCATION,

The fact that education in this coun.
try is undergoing marked and rapid
changes indicates that in the opinion
of education experts our educational
system has been thus far in large de-
gree experimental. We have given the
world an example of universal popular
education that is moving the con-
sciences of mankind everywhere, and
now our aspiration is TO improve upon
our own work and to bring into the
educational world the same practical
ability, the same ideas of doing things
ito get the best results, that have dis.
tinguished American endeavor hereto.
fore,
One of the great problems of educa-
tion. when the children of any given
community, or area within large com
munity, are thrown together in the
school rooms. is to so adapt the school
instruction as to get the best indiyid.
ual results. Thus far we have not sue
ceeded as we ought to do in imparting
individual instruction, but have relied
too much upon common standard. The
more recent awakening in educational
circles has been to the point that back
ward students need special care. This
is now universally recognized, and is
provided for as rapidly and as exten-
sively as the facilities Of any given
community will warrant.
But it is not only the scholars alb.
normally backward that need special
est observers that there are pupils alb
normally well developed in mind, as
well as pupils abnormnlly depressed or
belated. But scarcely anything has
been done heretofore to afford the alb
normally developed mind Of pupil any
special advantage by reason OF his adj
vanced mentality and the ease and rap.
idity with which he can absorb the
school instruction. AS stated, provision
has been made to considerable ex
where, for the duller pupils, so that
they may be given the benefit of spe-
ciaI instruction adapted to their needs,
But il is Just as unreasonable to ex-
pect a brilliant pupil to be held back
to the average standard of large class
as it is to expect the dull-witted pupil
to attain to that common standard.
These things being evident, the next
important step in educational advance
undoubtedly must be to allow for rapid
progress by those who are able to make
it; and to this end much of the edu.
cational effort of this country must
presently be applied, The common av.
erage, however, will prevail for the
most of the pupils, and the special cf-
forts must be divided, and applied, first,

AUSTRIA INFLAMMATORY.

We do not doubt that Austria, in eiy-
ing her bullying notice to Montenegro
with regard to the military operations
in front of Skutari, has fully counted
the cost. Indeed, she would hardly
have dared to give such notice without
the agreement. Of the powers of Europe
that she might do So Russia, especial.
ly. would have to be placated and CON
sent to such notice, or the European
war field would be ablaze at once.
The position of Austria towards the
Balkan allies, and especially towards
Servia and Montenegro, since the out
break of the war of those allies upon
Turkey, has been most despicable There
has been on the part Of Austria from
the first al irascible bullying and a
hostile tone that have more than once
brought the whole Of Europe TO the
verge of war; for. Russia has plainly
made manifest her sympathy with her
Balkan raccfolk, and has right along
been restive under the tone that Aus
trla adopts towards those allies.
But If Russia has not been placaicd
with regard 10 this new and bullying
demand of Austria. trouble will be
pretty sure 10 come. unless Austria
backs down, for this attitude OF Austria
practically ali2ns her with Turkey as
against Montenegro, Just AS she has
apparently been in sympathy with
Turkey right along with respect 10
Servisu conquests. Austria seems to
have taken it for granted from the
first that she had a right to control
Servia and Montenegro, and limit the
advantages which they might gain
through the war. Her attitude has
compelled Servia TO give up the hope
of having n port on the Adriatic Sea,
and now it appears that Austria . in
flucnce, It it can have its way, will
deprive Montenegro Of the possession OF
Skutari, even if the Montenegrin troops
capture that city.
There can he no doubt Of the power
OF Austria to enforce her decree against
Montenegro if she is let alone, But If

We have intimated heretofore that

many appears to be passing just now
as its public expenditures are con-
cerned The need of money to carry
through the Kaiser extensive war
and naval programmes is pressing; and
upon the disclosure of these plans there
was something like a shock delivered
to the Berlin bourse, and this shock
had the immediate result of slilIeniug
exchange rates in all the great money
centers of the world The Berlin rate
rose to figure precedented for this
season of the year; in Paris it was the
highest for the month in thirty years; /;
in London the highest since 1907. tho
year of our latest panic, and in New
York the same. Berlin bankers bid up
to eight and nine per cent for gold in
the New York market, and got $5,000,.

in transportation and interest charges.

Prussian government is pressing a bill
authorizing $l35,000,00O for railway
purposes.
The Kaiser's programme is to raise
S2oO0Oo,OO0 to increase Germany's
naval and military efficiency. In a
popular address he earnestly pointed
out that the present year would call
for unexampled sacrifice on the part of
the people. and he appealed to the pa.
triotsm of Germans by saying that no
better way could be found to celebrate
the centennial anniversary of the free
ing of Prussia from the foreign yoke
Cimposed by Napolcon) than by the sac
rifices which he proposed. His purpose
is to have taxation increased to the
amount of $250,000,OO0 the present
year, the most of it to be assessed upon
the moneyed classes. It was stated
that the heiress of the Krupp foundry
would be required to pay some $4,000.

will contribute $s,00o,000 TO that quar-
ter of a billion fund; and it is an.

In spite OF these heavy forced con
tributions, however. the German money
pinch continues, and Germany cannot
get money from Paris or from London.
Consequently. the British bankers are
constant bidders for gold on the New
York market. and considerable exports
of gold from this country are to be ex
pected for some time to come.
