IS only through enlightened public

furnished the data upon which the at
tachcd report was compiled were made
immediately after the summer vaca =
tlon during which the Board of Fdu-
cation carried forward the repair pro
gram which it deemed Impossible of
prosecution while the schools were IN
session. While this report was in
hand in October, it was not released
before election, in order that no sus
picion nor misunderstanding might
arise as to It's disintercsted purpose.
The original report was released at a
time when We thought it would be
helpful In securing adequate funds for
repairs in the 1922 budget. 1t is our
Elementary report at this time will as

the pending item of 81 5000 for ire

I'VE note with satisfaction that con-
ditIons in certain instances had been
improved at the time of our recent
revisit. lnasmuch as before making
our original visits last spring a state
ment to us from the building depart
ment of the Board of Education, on
january "a, failed to reveal any plan
or provision at that time for putting
these schools in repair, we feel justi-
fed IN believing that our report has
already been of service to the schools.
Expect Further Repairs
"We trust that despite the fact that
the schools are now in session, the
needed repairs not yet made at the
time of our revisit will be speedily
pushed, in order that these schools
may be made safe and wholesome

We renew our pledge to support
the efforts of the Board of Education
to secure sufficient funds to put all the
school buildings into proper physical
condition at the earliest possible
date
The new report parallels the survey
made last spring and is grouped under
SIX heads-sanitation, general repairs,

The revsits made after the surAmer

Agreements of Czecho-Austrian
Conferences Are Announced

VIENNA, Dec. 18~-An official state
ment outlines the results of the Czecho~
Austrian conferences Just concluded.
Among other agreements Czecho-
Slovak:a will increase the amount of
coal for Austria exempt of export du-
ties. 1t also agrees to the postponement
of the payment of mutual pre-war
debts until June, 1922
CzechoSlovakia will ratify the COM
mercial treaty drawn up some months
ago. Travel between the two countries
is to be facilitated and all political
disputes are to be referred to the
League Of Nations. In general, the
agreements follow the suggestions of
the Porta Rosa conference.
New-York tribune., 1921-12-19

ing these reasons the report reviews the
1nancsai condition OF the city. 1t says:
without taking UP now the pending
questions relating to the debt limit and
tax limit, il Is beyond controversy that
the city ~ using its entire taxing power
Tor ordinary expenses, ia the face OF
urgent needs for essential public service
schools. rapid transit, docks, markets
and marginal railway. Instead of fur
nishing evidence of the city's financial
soundness. the rapid rise in assessments
indicates the exhaustion of the cty's
credit and "a manipulation of the taxing
power to conceal it. 1t may be added
that in 1921 the city found it necessary
Tor the lirst time to resort to the doubt
full cSpedient of basing it's tax limit on
the current assessment rather than on
the assessment of the year before, ar
heretofore practiced in other cities OF
the state. and the present budget indi-
Gates that the same doubtful cxpedi-
ent of increasing the taxing power will
be resorted to in 1929. in an attcmpt to
keep within the constitutional tax limit.
Such showing gives no promise Of
recovery under the present municipal or
ganization, but foreshadows financial
disaster"
Another reason is declared to be the
division of authority between the city
and the Legislature. The report saws
that it is apparent from the number of
amendments made to the charter since
its re-enactment in 1901 that it is not
laid down on reasonably permanent
lines. This condition, it is held, should
be remedied by basic changes In the
charter and in the relations of the city
to the state.
The report points out that present
conditions are undoubtedly due to
too close adherence to municipal prec-
edents which. by reason of the size of
the city and it's organization, arc more
or less inapplicable."
For More Rome Rule
Discussing the limit of delegation
of state authority to the city, the re-
port says that "the powers of the CITY
over matters of purely local concern
should be increased and legislative in
reference with the exercise OF such
powers should be further and effcctu-
ally restrained by constitutional
amendment" The committee recon-
mends that in this respect the pro-
posed board of finance, in conjunction
with the Mayor, should be given power
to veto legislation. The restriction as
to interference with matters of a pure
ly local nature may be much stricter.
" iSpoAe auus, lhaH IN matterS OF
statewide interest, such as the police,
education and the local administration
of justice
Considered in its broader aspect,
there can be no real conflict of interest
between the state and city in changes
in the charter" the report concludes.
ut is the duty of the state, Of which
the city forms SO great part, to Sc
cure for the city the greatest degree
OF autonomy consistent with safety,
financial soundness and security of
cltlzens, but these matters are Of equal
concern to the state and to the city."

The Demand for
University Men

VK7HEN General Pershing
wv sent from France for
two hundred thousand
trained engineers, he simply
condensed into an instant de-
mand, under the awful urgency
of war, the call that is con-
stantly going up here in time
or peace. Not alone in engi-
neering, but in agriculture,
trade, manufacture, sanitation,
government, and many other
fields the demand is constantly,
Give us more trained men,"
In the Massachusetts Bay Col
ony only one person in ESQ of
the adult population was d col
lege graduate, and this was re-
garded as very high ratio; in
1920 the ratio was about one
in so. I think we must eventu-
ally reach a condition in which
one in every ten will have had
some educational training be-
yond that of the high school.
Because of the wide scope of
university training in this
country, there is little danger
that we shall ever have any
serious over-supply of trained
specialists Or what is sometimes
c a ! ! d an educated probe
tariat." If there is temporary
surplus of mechanical engi-
neers, for example, the situa-
ton will soon correct itself by
the turning of this surplus into
medicine, sanitation, account
ing, or other professions and
occupations. Just at the pres
ent time there is a manifest
shortage of trained men and
women in medicine, teaching
and commerce.
New York University is re-
sponsive to the conditions of
demand. Our evening classes
are composed mainly of men
who are employed during the
day and who are pursuing their
education with us for the con-
crete and demonstrable benefit
it has in their careers. These
men pay their tuition fees out
OF their own pockets. Their
judgment of the amount and
kind of training they require
today will be reasonably sound. |
The demand from such sources
has increased faster than we
have been able to supply it. 1t
has naturally influenced in
some measure the instruction
we give to those students who
come to us with no clearly de-
fined ideas about their needs.
And so long as this demand
continues, / shall feel abso-
lutely confident that there is
useful work waiting for every
trained graduate of the Uni
versity.
