IN our metropolitan city, although
much time. energy and money have
= been devoted to the various branches
Of facility in education, the crying need
is for better conditions in housing. in sys-
tematic teaching, in increased salaries OF
teachers and other employees, in the
school system.
Even the best ordered institute Of
learning lie capable Of great Improvement
and it would be well could the public
mind be impressed with the Importance
Of this fact.
See the average parents. They often
take great pains in placing their chill
dren in schools OF good repute. But
once they are located In the school Sc
lected there the matter ends With the
parental mind, except when the newt
able reminder the term bill. demands at
tention. They do not know the prin-
cipals or assistants; they do not know
whether the class rooms are spacious
well ventilated and comfortably heated /;
neither do they know whether he light
is ample and well directed. They do not
know whether the tender and plastic
minds of their offspring are being treated
sympathetically, with intelligent direc-
ton, nor whether the teachers and pupils
are In harmony while pursuing the path
way of knowledge.
We see, then, that much that is lack
ing In educational facility is due to the
apathy and indifference of those who
should be alive to the needs OF the hour
and demand remedial or changed condi-
lions.
Some years ago In a growing town just
outside OF New York city a woman called
upon another woman who was prominent
in a woman's club. The caller was pale
and had difficulty in talking because of a
troublesome cough. Upon pressing in
quiry the clubwoman learned that the
cough was due to ian odor from the gas
house." The caller lived near the gas
mandatory. and night and day she and
her family with their neishbGfs. were un-
pleasantly affected by this "odor."
The club was soon informed and a live
committee took up the matter of investi-
cation. which, disclosed that, to save a
few dollars the gas company had neg
lected to have covers made and placed
over certain sections which 1t was their
lawful duty to cover. One short visit of
the committee settled the affair and the
neighborhood was relieved OF the "odor''
nuisance. II no one had interested them
selves in the matter the nuisance would
have prevailed indefinitely. The demand
must be made after careful and intelli-
gent investigation.
So In school life. every advantage and
| every disadvantage must be recognized
and welcomed or remedied as the case
may be.
Pupils impair their eyesight by insult
ficient light. Otter the mischief Is done
before the Instantaneous condition is
realized, and too late tpr efficient remedy
It is made known that glasses must be
worm and often the sight becomes alarm
ingly defective. 1t is sad to note these
: facts, but sadder that the busy masses
rush along needless of this dire evil
threatening many OF their homes.
Lack Of proper ventilation is perhaps
tho greatest of evils in the places where
| our young children. our maids and
youths are housed for educational
| training.

Ninety-six requests were fled by the
attorneys for the Tribune. Attorneys for

that the proper place for such a man

1t is also claimed by the Ford attor-

The word Anarchist should be in
