A MILITARY SCHOOL

We have heretofore had some
thing to say in reference to a
military school located in the city
of Richmond, and we cannot re-
frain from again calling the at
tention of the people to the nee
essity for one.
Since the public schools, as
well as the private schools, have
practically gone into the hands OF
women teachers, the young men
of the generation are deprived of
that systematic, manly training
in the affairs of life which only
men can impart to them. We
have no complaint against the
noble women who are teaching
in our schools, and for the pri-
mary department they are most
excellent teachers and are better
fitted by nature to mold and
shape the child than d man, but
after the primary departments
have been passed the youth of
the country is entitled to a man
as an eXamplar to shape and
mold his future manly course.
We indulge in no discussion of
the question as to which has the
superior mind, nor is it necessary
for us to determine whether the
masculine mind is superior or in.
ferior to that of woman. There
was a divine purpose in the Gre
alton of man and woman. One
is of the gentler, sWeeter nature
and finer texture; the other is
more robust in physique, stron
ger in endurance and especial,
fitted for the rougher tasks OIL
life which call for the discipline
and training of a child all Of
which no woman can impart tc
him.
It has often been our pleasure
to say that a pure minded, virtu
GUS woman was Gods most bene
fcent gift to the world, and from
this statement we have no desire
to withdraw. She has her office.
to fulfill, and training the chill
dren at home is one of these OF

to the man belongs that othe

and social life and in the affair

Burglars Break Into Depots

On last Wednesday night at a

one dollar was all they could find.

LICHTEN BURDEN
p. Day Favors BIZ
on Assessments Now
Before Senate.

There is now q bill. which is on the
order Of it's third reading, before the Sen
ate, to amend the greater New York char-
ter I'm the relation to assessments 10
local improvements, confirmed after Jan
uary /, 1908. Joseph p Day, in speakin-
OF this bill. made the following comment
This bill is Of great Impotence not
only to the small suburban buyer Ldf
to the large owner OF suburban propertF
IL is particularly important 10 the small
wage Garner who buys his own house N
aiding him TO meet. through the rHw
twenty-year instalment plan provided N
the new measure, any assessments Tor
improvements.
Under the present law an asses smcn
can be as much as 20 per cent of the val 2
OF the land and improvements. TINS
value is not based upon the ASSESSED
value, but is fixed by the commissioner
in condemnation or the Board of AsseS
sors. and is based upon their opinion OF
what the property IS worth.
THE new bill provides that TO assess-
ment can exceed 80 per cent of the value
of the land itself. as shown by the as
sessment rolls, exclusive OF any improve
ments on the land, and further provides
that any assessment exceeding per cent
of the assessed value OF the land may.
upon application, be divided into ten year
~ instruments, With interest on deferred
payments at per cent
1.-THE new bill also changes the pres
ent law which requires payment Of bacS
instruments by providing that only the
first instalment shall be due on the day
the collector OF assessments makes 4 di-
vision, and not dating the instruments
back to the date of confirmation.
THE important further provision in the
bill provides that where an assessment,
in the opinion of the Board of Estimate,
is excessive, or the combined assessments
shall in any two consecutive years exceed
20 per cent of the assessed value, the
Board OF Estimate may divide such as
sessn. ent into twenty yearly instalments
or give such further relief as, in the opn-
ion OF the board, may he just and equi-
table
This last provision is going TO be a
great help to many land owners. both
small and large, who find the burden OF
assessments very great. The payment of
these assessments in twenty yearly in
stsIments will tighten their burden. and
in my opinion. will stimulate buying. par
ticularly in the suburban sections"

residents of that part of the city. And
the committee OF thirty intends to take
the necessary action 10 have them prop
erly housed provided the present move
ment meets with the hearty support that
il deserves.
These important questions affecting
realty progress in the section the com
mittee of thirty and the auxiliary COM
mittee OF the Property Owners Improve
ment Corporation are striving TO answer
in such a manner as TO please both the
white and colored residents. 1t desires
most TO solve the problem of how best to
preserve the interests Of all property
owners in the section.
Most persons who have given serious
thought TO the upbuildng of Harlem
know that the mortgage channels for the
district cannot be brosdened unless there
is a better investment market for Harlem
The way to widen those money
channels according. TO most real estate
experts. is to keep the high class apart
meng houses occupied only by persons
who are well able TO pay the rents de-
manded in order that fair return may
be had from the total sum of the moneys
invested in those properties. 1t is said
and no one has disputed this fact-that
this promiscuous letting 10 colored people
of the choice houses in various blocks
from 10th street TO the Harlem River not
only upsets realty values in the section,
but places realty affairs in a chaotic
eta I'm
tell whether or not an adjoining apart
ment property is 10 be leased by white
or colored people. and consequently many
properties are in need Of thorough reno
walton. The scattering of the negro popu-
lation over an area OF ground twice that
of cities the size Of Albany is considered
in realty circles condition which threat
ems the upbuilding Of Harlem, and even
many other parts Of New York, into more
attractive home and retail trade centres.
Since the coming of the negroes TO Har-
lem there has never been built in the dis
trict. say men who are conversant with
building operations in the territory,
house which was solely designed for the
occupation of negro tenants
The committee Of thirty expects to be
instrumental in having built flats for col
ored persons at 18th street and LenoX
avenue and in the territory northeast of
that centre. 1t also hopes that the build
ing Of some of those proposed houses will
be begun in a year or so. If the efforts
of these experts on this big housing prob
lem are successful, Manhattan will pos
sess nathouses OF three, four, FIVE and
six rooms. of 1reproof construction, with
all modern conveniences excepting elevs-
tor services. and most suitable for negro
tenants. Not only will the rentals be
within reach Of the majority of colored
residents, but tho home life Of the tenants
will be more pleasant than under the
roof Of the big apartment houses that
were put up to compete for the best class
of white tenantcy.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1914-03-15

A careful scrutiny of all realty affairs
relating to the future advancement Of
Harlem from the viewpoint Of the prop
erty owner indicates that 1t is through
the mortgage channels that new building
vigor will be given to the district. II
does not seem likely that there is pros
pect Of conserving realty interests in any
other way. Individually, owners are
helpless in this situation; collectively they
could quickly bring about change for
the better throughout the entire terri
tory.
The reason that the colored population
has overspread into many sections or
streets with long rows OF splendid type
of elevator apartments was because lie
negroes needed more houses in which TO
live. If houses had been built for them
the committee OF thirty would not oe
wrestling with the problems in question.
The colored people moved. to Harlem
about 1899, settling in bath street, be-
tween LenoX and Seventh avenues. They
would not have located there had not
certain disgruntled property owner
sought them as tenants for his house.
The owner thought he could force ad-
joining property owners to pay him the
price ne asked for the premises. AdJoin-
ing property owners refused 10 buy at
any price, and some Of them, as soon as
they saw their white tenants vacating
their old homes, leased the fats TO other
coored people Soon there was quite
large coored population at lS5th street
and Lenox avenue, and to-day this is the
very heart Of the negro colony In 1879
