SCHOOL SYSTEM RECALLS
FEARS.

A lively controversy has been call
ed out by the report Of the commit
tee Of experts (all of them men. by
the way) who have been investigat-
ing Boston's school system. This re-
calls the fact that girls were not ad-
mitted to the public grammar
schools of MASSACHUSETTS till 1889.
nor to the high schools till 1861. A
high school for girls was started in
Boston in 1923, but the girls focked
to it in such numbers that the con-
servatives got frightened and it was
quickly closed.

AuStria'S Concessions.

Austria's concession to the main demands of
the United States in the Ancona relieves the
danger of diplomatic break between the Govern
ments and marks an important step toward just
and humane settlement of the entire submarine
issue.
Some differences, it is true, yet to be ad-
justed but there the best of omens in Vienna s
offer resistance or flee, will be sunk without the
passengers and crew being brought to safety.
That after ALL is the great principle for which the
United States has contended in its correspondence
with the .Teutonic Powers. That is the highly
human aspect of the issue.
1t seems that Austria is more liberal in it's &C.
acknowledgement and promise this point than
Germany has been, for while Germany has limited
its assurances to liners" term the precise
notation of which has not yet been cleared Austria
promises that no craft not war vessel shall be
destroyed before the lives of those aboard have
been secured
If that principle is firmly established and
consistently followed by the belligerents, subma-
rine warfare will be reduced to humane and
civilized basis 1t remains to be seen, of course,
whether Austria and Germany live up to their as
surances. We cannot forget that the case with
Germany assumed it's most threatening aspect at
the very moment when 1t considered settled,
or that the Lusitania issue is still far short Of
clusion But as far as present conditions indicate
the outlook is assuring
