Ottawa Rejects Municipal Own
ership of Railways.

The Dominion Of Canada has shown
OF late years an inclination toward
public ownership of utilities. For
this reason the recent plebiscite in
Ottawa on the question Of the pur-
chase of the street railway system Of
the city from the company owning it
and Of its operation by the munich
pality is Of more than ordinary in
terest. Ottawa's decision was the
contrary Of the conclusion reached
in Detroit, public ownership being
defeated by a majority Of 1000.
This action is easily explained. In
the first place, Canada is not alto
gether satisfied with the results OF
experiments in public ownership.
This is especially true of her expert
ence with government ownership and
operation of railways. In addition
to considerations of this nature there
were other reasons which led Ottawa
to decide to let we'll enough alone.
The city's street railways had been
efficiently operated In the past tnlrty
years. They had given satisfaction
to their patrons under the manage
ment Of THOMAS AHEARN, president
Of the company, and the City Coun-
Gil has now been instructed as a re-
suit of the plebiscite to renew the
franchise df the company for another
thirty years.
Perhaps another cause which may
have had weight with the Ottawa
electors IS the fact that Toronto took
over its street railway system on
September / last and that one OF the
first acts Of the municipal manage
ment was to increase the fare from
five to seven cents. In addition, the
ratepayers Of Toronto are facing the
prospect Of having to pay interest on
a capitalization Of $4,000, 900.

The Jesuits' Attitude.
Their Provincial Hero Denies That
They Try to Influence Cardinals.


To THE NEW York HERALD: The re-
ports in the press in the last few days
connecting the Society Of Jesus-the
Jesuits-with attempting to influence
the Cardinals in the election of the next
Pope are absolutely without foundation.
In the first place the Society of Jesus
has no influence whatever In this mat
ter, and in the second place It will not
attempt to exert any influence.
AS Provincial Of the Society of Jesus
the Jesuits-in the Eastern States and
as an American citizen loving honesty
and fair play repudiate the false
statements and insinuations contained In
the press reports involving the Jesuits
In meddling in the election OF the next
Sovereign Pontiff.
It Is much more interesting to the
scandal hungry public to believe that
the Jesuits are a mysterious and power
ful force in Church and State, but all
this stun has no foundation, and the
election OF the Pope VIII go on Just as
II we did not exist, without the slight
est breath Of interference.
We shall pray for the proper choice.
as every priest in the world will do.
That Is all.

Firebugs.

In the last twelve montns tnere
has been a suspicious increase In the
number of fires in New York city
The authorities bluntly assert that
some of them were started deliber
ately to conceal the removal Of goods
bought on credit and not paid for
and to collect insurance money. Ar
son has become 80 menacing that the
Board of Fire Underwriters, repre-
senting the great fire insurance com
panies, has established a fund Of
100000 to use in pursuing and pros
ecuting firebugs.
The Fire Underwriters detectives
will cooperate with the police and
the Fire Prevention Bureau. They
should have the voluntary assistance
of real estate owners, their employ
ees and all tenants, whether they
occupy rented quarters for business
or for residences.
Incendiarism is not a crime against
rich insurance corporations OF
against pressing creditors. 1t is a
crime against the public, and every
flrebug enhances the cost Of living
for every honest man and endangers
the homes and lives Of every person
In the city.
A fire set to blk a creditor raises
the cost of insurance in all quarters
of the town. The cost of insurance
goes into rent. In city of renters
which New York Is, 50 far as the
homes Of its inhabitants are con
cerned, an incendiary fire in a fur
shop means higher rents all over
town.
But this Is not the worst Of It.
Every fire in congested urban com
munity puts in peril the lives OF
scores, hundreds, thousands of indi
viduals. A little blaze in great
loft building may do inconsequential
damage, but, doing 1t, that fire may
start a panic costing many precious
lives. A swindler burning up his
stock in a shop adjoining a motion
picture theater may start a panic In
which hundreds Of men, women and
children may be killed. A torch ap
piled to an unpaid for stock Of goods
at midnight may destroy tenement
house, and young and old, hale and
infirm, may be suffocated.
There should be no lenity for the
incendiary, no letup In the pursuit
of the f1rebug. He Is every mans
enemy, and against him every pro
tective engine OF society should be
used.

No School Vacations.

President PEREs of the Memphis
Board of Education has come out as
an advocate Of q continuous school
year unbroken by any vacations
whatever. There are, he says in his
annual report, twelve years in a
chfld's life with three months vaca-
tion annually, making a total of
thirty-six months, or three years.
lost In training for life work or for
college or university.
But the loss does not stop there.
During the three months vacation
each year the pupil forgets much of
his previous nine months work. In
addition there Is the relaxation OF
attention incident to anticipation Of
the vacation to come. These two fac
tors cause what Mr.. PEREs charac-
terizes as mental loss, which he esti-
mates as the equivalent of one year.
There is, then. the actual time loss
of three years plus the mental loss Of
one year; four years altogether. II
these four years we're saved, argues
Mr.. PEREs, the pupil could be through
the high school at fourteen and
through college at eighteen. II he
ended his studies with the high
school he would have a four years
start In the life struggle.
This is the substance of President
PEREs's argument. He would reduce
the twelve years OF school life to
eight and keep pupils right at It with
out break or 1etup, year in and year
out, from the time they were six
years old until they were fourteen.
II is a proposal which will not be
accepted without good deal Of dis
cussion and good many amend
ments. The teachers themselves are
very likely to object to IL.
Their labors are not light. The
strain on their nerves is very far
from being negligible. That con.
tinuous grind from one years end TO
another without single vacation
would wear out almost any teacher Is

Subway for Sixth Avenue.
Another Plan to Improve Transit
and to Help Real Estate.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: When I
was president Of the Sixth Avenue Asso-
citation in 1917 our organization urged
proposed by Mr.. Fentrick. We advo-
Gated the removal of the Sixth avenue
elevated structure and a subway In its
place. 1t was proposed that tho road
dive under Central Park. Stations 1t
the transverse roads could be built.
The Real Estate Exchange had the
matter before 1t, but all developments
were delayed because Of the war. I be-
came Ill and was compelled to retire,
else the matter would not have been
dropped until now.
Sixth avenue runs through the heart
Of our city and naturally should be an
important business street. The elevated
road ruined it and now holds down its
valuation. A subway would revolution
ixe conditions and surely relieve the con-
sestion on the east and west through,
subway lines.
Our association also had q plan for
relieving congestion on Fifth avenue and
incidentally benehting Sixth avenue. 1t
was proposed that an entrance be made
to Central Park from Sixth avenue. A
circle. set back of course from Fifty
ninth street. was planned and the road
ways were to diverge east and west
from the park. The driveway was to
be connected with that leading to the
Fifth avenue opening. 1t was proposed
that monument or other structure be
placed In the circle. / have thought
that statue of Theodore Roosevelt or
other distinguished New Yorker would
be fitting. J. IRWIN MURRAY.

The Catholic Encyclopedia says:
Those who have lived and followed

fail to be impressed with the titles
given to each by the prophecies of
st. Malachy and their wonderful ap-
propriatsness; Crux de cruce (Cross
from Cross), Plus TX; Lumen In
crlo (Light I'm the Slty). Leo XIII. (:
Ignis ardens Burning F'ire). Plus X.
There is something moro than a
coincidence in the designations given
to these three popes so many hundred
years before their time. The affiic-
tions and crosses Of Plus TX. were
more than fell to the lot of his prede-
cessors, and the more aggravatlng Of
these crosses were brought on by the
house of Savoy. whose emblem was
a cross. Leo XIII. was n veritable
luminary of the papacy. Plus X. was
truly a burning fire OF zeal for the
restoration of all things in Christ"

Roman will reign in the final persecu-
ton of tho Church and that the Day of
Judgment will then come, but they do
not indicate how many popes will in

Bringing Up Children.
Suggestions to Parents and Teachers
About Their Education.

To THE New York HERALD We have
evidences every day that great many
parents do not know how 10 bring UP
their children. owing to laziness or lack
Of interest. Every young child should
be taught to study through the intelli-
gent cooperation Of the parents leading
the way. Children cannot be forced
successfully.
To create tho desire to study give the
child proper surroundings-in study
room and not In a room where several
persons arc talking. Every child should
be encouraged to learn at least two Ian
guages. that is, one foreign language in
addition to English. The child should
be taught incessantly that 1t is as neces-
sary to be we'll hammered in order to
progress in the world as II Is to have
knowledge Of English.
The child should be sent, after hav-
ing arrived at a fair age Of discretion,
to purchase his or her own clothing.
and then when the boy or girl grows
to mani ood or womanhood he or she
will have a valuable knowledge of the
proper manner Of dress. Children can
acquire a graceful carriage through
athletics. II in the gymnasiums Of the
schools there were set up on the floor
on edge boards about nine or ten inches
high. and the children we're to walk on
these boards several times each day.
they would gradually and surely acquire
grace Of carriage. The principle is the
Same as that of the tight rope walker.
In the schools, if only to give to the
child beneficial suggestion. there should
be a class In music. Then the child
would be encouraged to study music at
home. There are many things which
are as necessary as knowledge OF math-
ematics and grammar that arc not
taught in school. Carpentry. which Is
taught In the lower grades. is. ] be-
licve. useful as n training for tho brain
Of tho boy outside of the value of n
knowledge OF carpentry itself. II gives
the desire to create and the power OF
calculation.
Some children are bashful, and that
is a terrible handicap to a child. In
good many cases the defect follows the
Individual right through life. although
the ailment could be stamped out at once
by an energetic teacher. At the pres
ent time there is a system whereby only
the chosen few have an opportunity to
get up on the platform at the weekly
exercises 10 speak or rccite before the
whole school. 1t should be part of the
training Of every single child 10, get up
ca the platform and say or recitc some
thing, IL only four or Ave lines. Then
