REFORMING THE SCHOOLS

THERE is a ferment at work every
u where for a reform of the public
schools. There are sharp controversies
about methods of study, teachers pay,
selection of boards, etc. This city has
been urged by outside experts TO get
quickly to the root of things by letting
the people elect their school board, and
so define exactly how they want their
children trained.
When adults are prepared to so to the
polls and define exactly how they are to
be governed it will he time for them to
define exactly how their children are to
be trained, People who elected Mr.. Smith
Mayor must do penance before they earn
the right to submit their children to the
same kind of masters as they themselves
have been content to obey.

Sir--Will the EVENING LEDGER through

plain the reason for Senator's and Con-
gressmens incomes being untaxed, while
our army and navy officers, who are giving
their lives for their country, should not
only have their incomes taxed, but the rail-
road fare which Is allowed them by the
Government when they are transferred
from post TO post included in their incomes
and also taxed? This seems so unfair as
TO be almost unbelievable. Can nothing
be done whereby all may contribute their
share Of the tax2 Why should those who

THOMAS KILBY SMITHS new book,
The Commonwealth Of Pennsylvania, /"
which will be duly reviewed by our, own
dear papers very efficient literary editor,
contains many good points which, we're
quite sure, will not escape him. Curious.
ly enough, the one thing about the book
that jumped out and hit us hardest In
the eye was an error in a Rand McNally
map used as an insert Strange that the
word "Binghampton" printed in small
type on a map should behave so, but it
did.
But stranger still when we picked up,
a moment or two later "Bryant's Library
Of Poetry and Song" the first thing we
saw was an alusion to "a BinEhampton
newspaper"
For a long time-and this was many
years ago-there was a feud on between
the postmaster of Binghamton and the
same official at Buffalo over that very
thing. The Buffalo p. NJ. had been ad'
dressing "A package of mail to "Bing-
hampton, y. y" although the Bingham.
ton p. NJ had protested, explaining that
the town was named for William Bing-
ham and the "p" didn't belong in it at
all. But the Buffalo man was stubborn
rascal and persisted. "If you don't quit"
sez Binghamton, "I'll put a p in Buff
falo." Cant be DONE" Buffalo sasses
back Thereupon Binghamton began
sending things to Postmaster, Buffalop,
