To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Str: II
is very true that libraries in the maif

taxation, and therefore they should meet

I do not approve of shutting on dc-

The glorious climate OF California
is reported to have kept THOMAS A.
EpIsoN. a VIGOROUSLY industrious resi-
dent of New Jersey, in bed for four
teen hours, a thing unheard OF hereto
fore. and disbelieved to-day by those
who have sorrowfully observed his
habits in the past. But We prefer to
accept the report al authentic, ac-
quainted though we are with Mr.. EDI-
SONS previous indefensible practice OF
staying awake and at work twenty-six
hours out of every twenty-four. Even
a laborious inventor cannot attain
years of discretion-and even THOMAS
A. EDISON will not be a boy always
without having knocked into him a
realization of the virtues and pleasures
ot lying abed late. In spite of his
genius. Mr.. EDISON Is an intelligent
young man, and by the time he grows
up, II he prospers In his calling, we
expect he will have learned to have
breakfast sent up on a tray and to
keep to his room until II Is time TO
dress for dinner.

The Schools Will he Kept Open.

President CHURCHILL Of the Boa nj
Of Education Is not in an advantage
Gus position to utter threats TO close
the schools unless every penny asked
for is granted by the Board OF Esti-
mate. Within a week II was all
nounced by his Board thar unless an
immediate bond issue was made for
the night schools they would have to
thar the Board had uneXIsnded bal
ances which would suffice 10 sustain
them for n while at least. This incl
dent has increased the distrust in
which the Boards accounting system
has long been held.
Mr.. CHURCHILL did not crcate the
d~istrust. He did not establish the
system. Both have existed for years
and until the first is replaced by con
fidencc, %springing from revision Of the
second. the Board of Education will
be handicapped seriously in cOntro-
versles over appropriations.
Moreover. Mayor mitchell has of,
fered 10 take on his shoulders the
whole responsibility for keeping the
schools open. He has invited tn,
designations Of Mr.. CHURCHILL and all
the other members Of the Board who
feel as their President does toward

clared his ability to obtain in their
places citizens who will make the ap.
preparations last.
