The Systems 5 Return

+ A city detective conferred with

Croweling Their, Il,

The congestion in New York City
'schooIs--ahout 100000 pupils "sar-
dined" into buildings insufficient to
house them; a half million in abb
normally large classes, and over a
quarter million on makeshift pro.
grams which skimp their normal
days bad enough, but now from,
the Hylan administration, at the ex-
pense of education, comes new
subtraction.
This morning in many schools
throughout the city upper grade
classes are being consolidated fur
ther "sardined'--and teachers are
discharged SO that double load may
be carried by others. This cuts down
the pay roll. But it also places fifty
or more pupils to single teacher,
destroying her maximum efficiency
ard skimping every child's proper
right to receive attention under rea-
sonable conditions. Educational ex-
perts agree thatsno teacher can give
adequate educational care to d class
Of mere than sthirty-five.

country In the matter Of schoo, ex-

New-York tribune., 1921-02-01

while Newark, N. j., stands four
places above New York City. The
Hylan administration apparently
wants to maintain this unenviable
record. Aside from failing BY some
s27 ,ooo, 900 to appropriate enough
money 70 run the city's schools for
1921, the City Hall now discharges
teachers and crowds the overflow on
the shoulders of those already over

The King Albert Cup

The proposal by King Albert of a
transatlantic yacht race, New York
to Ostend, is a happy thought. II
enters the yachting situation at a
time when the mind of every genu-
inc sailorman is turning away from
fair-weather racing machines to
able deep-sea craft. 1t comes from
a source that insures il hearty
welcome from every American.
The proposal Of boat-for-boat rae.
ing is far more practicable in such a
contest than in nild-weather, close
to-shore racing. The conditions un-
der which the race would be sailed
compel basic ssoundness of struc.
ture and design that should eliminate
freaks and speed machines. Perhaps
experience will show that fool.
hardy entries may be made, in which
case scantling restrictions and q
rule Of measurement may become
necessary. But it is far better to
start on the boat-for- boat system.
It is to be hoped that two classes
will be provided for, with some
measurement like the suggested fig.
ure of 100 feet waterline as a
dividing line. If this plan is not
adopted the number of possible
entries will be and must always re.
main small; for a class with no limit
in length gives the smaller craft little
chance and confines the contest to
the largest and most expensive type
of yacht. The smaller schooners

plenty of splendid seaworthy vessels
that could cruise round the world in

King Albert has shown a fine

ception of the race, and it is to be
hoped that every element will unite
to make its sailing complete sue.

Detectives at Large
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Your editorial Detectives at
Large" published in this mornings is
sue Of The Tribune, must have been ap-
precJated by all who have been brought
into contact with the problem of the
feeble minded. It is not pleasant SUBJ
ject and it is seldom treated eiitorialIy
with frankness.
The writer has had considerable ex-
perience investigating the families of
feebte-minded girls committed to Bed
ford Reformatory. The menace to So
,eIety OF the feeble-minded prostitute
can scarcely be overestimated. That
very large percentage Of girls COM
mitted for soliciting and for violation
of the tenement house law are feeble
minded was proved by investigation.
The most appalling aspect of the
problem, however, is the fact that; the
best evidence available indicates tbat
the detectives, already so numerous IN
New York State, are increasing at q
more rapid rate than the normal nonu-
lation. This means that the in
dustrious, productive members of the
next generation will have TO bear an
even greater burden Of taxation for
the care of defective and deIinouents
than that under which we are rroan.
ing to-day.
These individuals should be gifted
out from the normal population bv a
system of clinics operated in connec-
ton with the public schools. When.
after thorough examination, retarda-
tion or subnormality is shown to he
due to an irremediable, inheritable de-
feet, the individual should be per-
manently segregated or sterilized to
prevent his or her propagating SIM
iiarly defective individuals.
Until this is done all other measures
taken for the prevention OF crime or
the asieviaSion of poverty are as water
poured into sieve.

The Smoke Screen

What the Hylan-H Hearst Tamnany
administration is afraid Of has been
. plain for many weeks.
) 1t is afraid of an investigation by
legislative committee. It's policy is
devoted to escaping this. 1t wants
to continue to function in the dark.
So intense is its aversion to any
inquiry that it sought to ham
string the Lockwood housing COM
mittee and to stop even the limited
probe of the Whitman grand jury.
But it is legislative investigation
that it is mainly concerned about
heading off.
Some pretend to doubt whether a
legislative inquisition would uncover
seriously damaging facts. But Hy-
. Ian, Hearst and Murphy are not
! among the doubters. The three know
what would be uncovered. Hence
they are exercising every possible
maneuver to keep city affairs secret.
Their last effort to create a
smoke screen is their misrepresenta-
| ton of Governor Miller's traction
special message. 1t is untruthfully
presented as principally and alto
gether an attack ON home rule. 1t is
falsifed as prescribing calling for
a raise of fare.
Why these Misrepresentation?
/ Why is mendacity so energetic? 1t is
to try to manufacture an issue whose
discussion will so absorb the public
as TO withdraw attention from the
Hylan administration and thus de-
feat an investigation. The old politi-
cal trick of starting bacltire is
being used.
Will the Legislature swallow the
! bait dangled before it? Will it do
exactly as Hearst and Murphy ask it
to do? Will the Legislature say that
it sees no probable reason for con-
Meeting the Hylan administration
with the misgovesnment from which
the city suffers? After thus white
washing the Hylan outfit will the
!, Legislature then assist in establish
ing the five-cent fare myth?
A legislature may not always viz
tuously put the public interest
above political interest, but when the
& demands Of the public welfare and
Of good politics coincide there is
surely basis for quick action.

Why No Pardon

A duly convicted offender who ap.
peals to the pardoning power on the
! ground that he is sincerely sorry for
his crime and recognizes the right
fulness Of his punishment seldom
finds the gates Of mercy closed to
him.
But Eugene v. Debs has not thus
presented himself. If he and those
who speak for him are not misrep-
resented he says that if given an
other opportunity he would do again
that which he did. Such. recalci-
trancy gives no standing room for
pardon except it be acknowledged
Mr.. Debs is released from obliga-
tions to the law. And if he may
claim such release then all others
may,
The public takes no pleasure in
keeping any man inl prison, least of
all man of the amiable personal
qualities of the recent Socialist can
didate for the Presidency. Thus
there is no rancor in the rejection
of his application. Ali there is is a
recognition of the position in which
guardians of the laws supremacy
would be placed should it be neces-
sary to apply another draft act, and
it could be truthfully said that the
most conspicuous violator Of the last
one was sent home with this govern
ment's apologies.

Sezing an Industry
Speech TO Clothing Workers Called
Incitement to Riot
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: At q meeting Of $1,000 members
Of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers
OF America, held on Thursday of this
week, as reported in The Tribune Of
yesterday, some amazing utterances
were made by the secretary and leader
OF that organization, which ought to be
impressed on the minds Of the public.
. quote only the following: "The cloth
ing industry is ours. The employers may
own the factories and tools, which we
are not taking away from them" The
first sentence advocates confacation out
right, and his audience did not misun-
derstand him; the second sentence is
meant for che public and is intended
to convey the impression that no actual
confiscation is contemplated. The
property of~the clothing manufacturers
is to be seized and used by the workers,
without compensation to the owners, but
the owners may keep their deeds to their
factories. 1t is to be q compulsory
lease for ninety-nine years, without the
payment Of rent. Will the owners volun-
tarily agree to this arrangement? If
not, 1t can mean nothing else than for
cible seizure.
This is the import Of his speech; it
is, in fact, exactly what he means and
what his followers understand him to
mean. It is, in substance, if not in form,
Indictment to riot; it is not an exercise
Of legitimate freedom of speech. It is
outright Bolshevism.
am not writing in the interest of
the manufacturers. They are responsible
for conditions in the past which bred
dangerous gadicalisn,. They have much
to answer for. ! am writing in the in
terest Of public order and the legal
processes of righting economic wrongs
which we have.
The strike Of the clothing workers
may be entirely justified. If so. IL
should be won by legal methods. The
advocacy of illegal seizures of property
is totally different matter. 1t means
the "autocracy Of the proletariat."
