Art Gallery in Schoolhouse.
the New York Globe.

From the New York Globe.
The opening OF the public art gallery in
the Washington Irving High School
marks the first step in movement
which, it Is hoped, may be spread to
every part of the city. 1t is the result
of a suggestion made by Patrick IL. NC.
Gowan, former president of the board OF
aldermen, who was convinced that by
making use of school buildings as centers
art with its uplifting influence, could be
brought more easily within the reach of
the masses. That the new gallery. which.
by the way, is the first municipal art gal
lery. will be a great success seems as
sured. If others were to be established
there is no doubt owners of private gal
leries would be glad to offer works Of
art enough to keep them all constantly
supplied with exhibitions The private
collections In this city contain treasures
which otherwise might never be placed
on public view.
This innovation is in line with the peo-
ple's demand that school buildings be
used more widely than only during school
hours. 1t is added evidence Of the ap-
proach of the time when our school build
ings will be civic, art, and community as
well as educational centers.

Electrifying Terminals.
From the Chicago Journal.

From the Chicago journal.
An investigating committee, financed by
the railroads themselves, is said to have
drawn up report in favor of electrify-
ing all passenger lines within the city of
Chicago, including those devoted to sub
urban service. Such a report should end
all controversy on this long discussed
matter, and usher in the era of action.
The city council should provide for
prompt electrification in any terminal
ordinance that may be passed. and the
executive branch of city government
must see to it that such provision is en-
forced This will make beginning-and

tenders in this regard, though OF neces-
