A BROOKLYNITE COMPLAINS
Some Tart Criticism Of B. R. 7. and
p. S. C..

/ To the Editor of The Tribune.
/ Sir: have read with much interest Mr..

/ transit system of Brooklyn. From the
! tenor of his complaint must assume that
/ he is entirely ignorant that the transit
Inconvenience are being forced upon the
people of Brooklyn. Notwithstanding their
constant appeals. Mr. Dove states that
his letter is the outcome OF indignation
at being forced out of Park Row train
at Sands st. (Brooklyn end OF Brooklyn
Bridge).
The writer desires and takes this OPP
portunity to inform Mr. Dove that on
May T.. 1913 he filed with the Public Ser
vice Commission a complaint protestins
against the turning back of Park Row
trains at Sands ST. known as case No
9o1S, 1879. After weeks OF correspond
ence whereby the writer furnished the
commission with cumulative evidence
when trains were turned back, Travis ID.
Whitney, secretary to the commission. re-
piled that nothing could be done 10 ROM
edy this evil. The Young Folks Civic
Association, Of which the writer was then
and now is the chairman. appealed for a
hearing, but the Public Service Commits
sion, which has other interests at heart
neglected or refused TO set hearing.
In answer TO the crowding of trains.
The writer desires to say al this oppor-
tune time that the old wooden trailer pas
senger cars. which are leased from the
Long Island Railroad Company by the
New York Consolidated Railroad Com
pany at the rental of 81 car a day
were rebuilt in 1855, and these cars, when
have a seating and strap-holding capacity
in toto of sixty nine persons. have had
packed in them like perpendicular sar-
dimes" III passengers.
From June. 1907. TO December. 1913. the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company and
the former Brooklyn & Coney Island
Railroad Company had an increase cf
ll,Olo.O55 cash passengers. and not only
did the commission neglect or refuse 10

ally saw the. number decrease by iift5-

A Certificate with Every Baby.

Let those wishing certified baby apply to the
Morals Court of Chicago No longer need wouldbe
foster parents trembe the verge of adoption lest
the child they pick turn out defective. The courts
psychopathic laboratory will sift its foundlings,
separating the sound from the unsound. and offer
only the former to the public.
This innovation in paternalism should recon-
mend itself not alone to those who feel inclined
toward the adoption of children, but also to every
one interested In the improvement Of society and
the race. The moment detectives are given into
private hands the community loses that control over
them which 1t should always retain to prevent both
crime and their procreaton.
A home is an nestimable boon to any human be-
ing but it should never be accorded to those whom
nature has rendered Incapable of approaching its
sacredness imbiblng its idealism. For such I'M
fortunates society must be alone responsible.

A Bad Day for American Golf.

However far Mr.. "Chick" Evans and Mr.. Harold
Weber-both Western golfers, by the way-can
carry the American fight at Sandwich, there Is no

OF course the marvellous uncertainty of golf can
account for much. Every one familiar with the
teasing nature of the game appreciated the likei-
hood Of American defeat. But for the best part OF
our company to be snuffed out by inferior play was
not expected It begins to look if even our best
gofers-necessarily our younger men. owing to the
newness Of the game-had still something to learn
In steadiness and wisdom from the great amateurs
OF England.

DIGESTINC BOOKS
A. an Aid Thereto Debates and Discus.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: ! am very glad that Isabel l..
Reichenthal touched in The Tribune of
May l6 a question OF high Importance
How Can Kindred Souls Who Inhabt
Libraries Foregather?"
In my opinion. 1t isn't so important TO
preserve the books OF our public libraries
from childish and even foolish marginal
remarks as il is TO accomplish a system
OF public education. 1t does more harm
than coed TO have ones stomach filed
with The best food IL it cannot be proper
~ digested. And, likewise. TO have brains
stuffed with immense reading materials
without having them properly digested
does more harm than good TO the reades

The digestion OF brain food is performed
by reading and thinking over and over
again. but systematical "foregatherings
OF kindred souls and properly guided dis
cussions and debates are the best incen-
tives for IL. The discussions and debates
themselves polish the mind. deepen the
thoughts, make ideas clearer and accus-

To Make the Child Go TO School.

The bureau Of compulsory education, school census
and child welfare about to be established by the
Board Of Education, will be, as the Public Educa-
ton Association points out, department of great
importance and influence in the school field. 1t
will cost the taxpayers about quarter of million
dollars annually. 1t will be expected to enforce
the compulsory education law to see that children
employed are employed legally and to do this will
have TO maintain continuous registration Of the
children OF school age-about q million and quar-
ter Of them There is great point, therefore, In the
Education Associations plea to the Board Of Edu
cation to choose the head of this bureau with the
greatest possible care.
In this city. perhaps more than anywhere else in
the country, is the problem with which this board
must wreste complicated. Here immigrants settle;
here factories and stores hungry for cheap young
labor abound; here truancy presents unusual re-
wards in apprenticeship to gangdom; here the crush
Of city pressure descends early on the poor, and
here the desire for tangible reward in terms under
stood by all the wOrld-cold cash-early sezes the
ambitious. Untimey departure from school may be
them. The difficulty of the task allotted TO this
bureau is enough TO demand employment Of none
but the best TO handle IT. If the Public Education
Association is demanding that and not urging some
particular candidate the general public should back
up its insistence

Good Manners.

Lord Rosebery is a fine example of an English
gentleman-beng former party leader scholar
and an exponent of high ideals. Addressing some
schooboys at Gudford he told them that the
seventeenth century produced the greatest breed
of Englishmen, and coupled with this the state
ment that the seventeenth century set great store
by good manners.
Good manners to-day on the decline. he con-
tnued Certainly too many persons somehow asso-
ciate them with fabbiness of one order or another
Yet good manners are not only sign of chlvary
or charity toward fellow men, but also an evidence
OF self-respect

Patah-Hotep thirty-three hundred years before the

Scratching a Social Sore.

An example of the ignorance, barbarty and
municipal selfishness which still characterize the
treatment of the unemployed defective comes to us
from Fort Wayne, Ind. There a squad of policemen
arrested score of Migrants camping the out
skirts of the city, branded each by clipping fur
row through his hair with horse clippers and then
famed" them all out Of town with barrel slaves,
having threatened them with one hundred days on
the stone pile if they returned before their clipped
hair had grown out
The professional tramp is almost invariably a
mental defective, incapable OF any sustained indus

treated in the Middle Ages will not relieve society
of him. prone to crime and to disease or cure the
