The dedication of the Agnes Nc
Reynolds school, which took place yes
terday afternoon, drew together many
friends and patrons of the school,
wishing to do honor to her for whom
the school was named and to take
part in the interesting exercises.
George r. Wentworth, member of
the school trustees. presided and
Judge z. d. Beggs made the opening
talk. in which he spoke In high terms
of praise of the years of service of
Mrs. McReynolds and the influence
she had exerted on the school life of
the city and on those who were her
pupils.
Mr. Beggs spoke Of the various
| schools of the city named for those
who for many years had been associ-
ated with education IN Pensacola,
among these, besides the Agnes Nc
Reynolds school. being the Eliza Jane
Wilson school, the Allie Yniestra
school, the Sabra H. Collins school, and
the ]. 3. Jockey school.
Judge Beggs paid a very sincerely
expressed tribute to Mrs. McReynolds
In the service she had rendered 70 two
generations of school children, in re-
Spouse to which Mrs. McReynolds spoke
with much feeling.
Mrs. MeReynolds Speaks.
In part, Mrs. McReynolds said: II
need hardly say with what pleasure
and pride l accept this splendid testi-
mony Ut IS an honor very precious
to me, for l feel 1t is an endorsement
OF school officials. patrons, friends and
co-workers in my chosen field of work.
THE life of a teacher has many
trials, but 1t has also many compensa-
tons, the love and respect of many
children, the appreciation and friend
ship OF most of your patrons, and the
hope that you have aided and helped
the rising generation.
These are the things that help a
teacher to stand the anxieties of the
examination, the WEAKNESS of mind
and body, the criticism of some specta-
tors and the scorn of model school
teachers.
"All these things fade away when
we think of the lifelong friendships
made. and possess sweet memories
of those who tell US we have helped
them on the road Of life.
Il wish I could feel that l deserve
all the kind things Judge Beggs has
said Of me, but my ideal Of what a
teacher ought to be is a high one and
have never reached it. I seldom see
the close Of a perfect day in school,
always feel that much is left undone
that should have been accomplished,
and something done better left undone."
Mrs. McReynolds then told very
Amusing story of a primary teacher
who had studied all the various
methods of teaching in the primary
grades SIS the changing times brought
IN variousfads and ''isms," and at last
after long years Of service. went to
heaven, hoping to- find rest, only to
be told BY St Peter that heaven had
already been introduced into the pub

closely allied to them in race and liv-
ing near by, are accepting civiliza-

1t may be that Fort Apache is in
part responsible for the decline Of
the Apache Indians. 1t was built to
suppress their murderous campaigns.
But ever since the capture Of Geron-
mo there has been no serious dan
ger from the Apaches. The few tribes
that were not depovted to Oklahoma
or New Mexico are to-day altogether
impotent. Militarily there has been
no need of Fort Apache for years.
1t is survival Of the frontier-that
frontier which even in Arizona dis
appeared almost entirely before the
invasion Of the automobile. Its final
abandonment means the passing of
a historic landmark and is but an
other proof that the pioneer DAYS
are gone for good in the United

On the eve of Lady Astor's cleo

1t is not to be supposed that Lady

A Frontier Fort Goes

Fort Apache is to be abandoned.
Situated in the heart of the White
Mountains of Arizona, far from anv
railroad or route Of travel, it is one
OF the last surviving relics of from
tier days. 1t was built in 1877 for
the express purpose of making easier
the control of the Apache Indians.

statl@ned there never knew when
they might be overwhelmed. Rein.
forcements were few and far awav
all connection with the outer world
being slow and dangerous. Mails
were lnfrequent. The nearest settle
ment OF any consequence was several
days ride. The reservation offered
no recreation or amusement other
than hunting.
Even to-day, when there is cnly a
handful of troops there, rather to
protect government property than to
ponce the country, Fort Apache is in
the heart Of the wilderness. The
Apache Indians still occupy the sur-
rounding country, and, although no
longer on the war path, they are still
primitive and uneducated. Broken

The only way 10 inspire criminals
with a respect for the law is TO put
them within the laws power. The
sole way to accomplish this Is by
catching them.
If Mr.. Enright will run down and
arrest even third of the highway
men who are now operating in New
York he will put an end to the crime
wave. 1t is because crimes can be
committed by night or day without
arrest that bandits are focking to
the city.
The Police Commissioner is merely
passing the buck when he blames the
courts and the Legislature. He is
the man charged with protecting the
city, 1t Is his business to fulfill that
duty not to tell judges or lawmakers
what they ought to do

The Short-f4anded Bench

At least one General Sessions
judge should be added to the New
York County bench by the Legis-
lature. Two or three judges would
be better. The saving to the public
through the expedition Of cases on
the calendar would far more than
pay the added expense Of salaries
and incidentais.
Congested court calendars work
general hardship. They impose a
heavy burden Oh the poor, who can
not afford to pay the cost of drawn
out legislation. This is particularly
true of suits for damages on account
Of injuries.
All litigation is expensive. The
longer it continues the more burden
some it becomes on all the parties in
volved. The laws delay has been
cause of common complaint since the
time when Hamlet listed it as one Of
the reasons for shuff1ing off this
mortal coil. 1t was never more of a
nuisance than it is to-day in New
York City.
Lawyers generally are agreed that
the bench is short handed and that
increasing the number Of judges
would be great help. The Legis-
lature still has time to come to the
assistance of the city in this respect.

Vision or Mirage?

At the National Rivers and Har.
bors Congress Governor Miller put
his finger on the weak spot in the
Great Lakes-St Lawrence waterway
project. This in its present form is
vision. responding to the Middle
Vests desire for a direct water
route to foreign markets. Will it.
If realized, furnish a route cheaper
and more practicable than existing
routes? That is question of in
terest to the whole nation, since the
waterway is to be paid for by the
nation.
The present plan calls for a twen-
ty-tlve foot canal, with an initial
cost OF construction OF 1882 ,0O0, 600.
The Governor argued that q twenty
five foot canal could not handle the
tonnage expected to be sent through
it, If the waterway is to be s. worth
while outlet for the Middle West.
He held that thirty feet would have
to be the minimum depth. To secure
this the ST. Lawrence canal engineers
estimate an initial expenditure of
$506,197. 800. But, as the New York
COMMISSION appointed TO appear at
the hearings before the international
joint commission has pointed out,
a thirty-foot channel for sea going
ships would require a deepening of
the connecting channels and harbors
OF the Great Lakes. Such work. it
estimates, would cost $12,000OOO for
each additional foot of depth. TO
obtain thirty feet where there are
now only twenty-five would cost $780,
000,000 additional.
An ocean-going fleet to replace the
present lake carriers would involve
a great increase in operating cost,
for the lake freighter is an econom.
ically superior type, perhaps the
cheapest water carrier now operated,
Ocean going ships would have to be
of greater draft and less cargo
capacity. pay higher insurance and
eat up profits through the tedious
delays Of the inland voyage
The real cost OF a st. Lawrence
waterway has rot been determined
Its capacity to give the Middle West
a more economical service has not
been thoroughly studied. If it will
be Of actual benefit to the nation
Congress would be justified, Gov
ernor Miller thinks, in helping to
build it. But there is need of an
impartial investigation by experts
in which sentimental considerations
will be waved aside.
The Middle West is entitled to it's
vision of an ocean frontage But is
it, economically speaking, vision or
mirage?

Passing the Buck

The Police Commissioner blames
the courts and the Legislature for

are not sufficiently severe with of

because the criminal laws are not, in

Beginning Right

The Transit Commission has an
swered the argument that it meant
to load up the city with worthless
strcetcar lines at terrific prices BY
preparing to scrap twcnty-siX troll
ley roads in Brooklyn. Some of the
travel carried by these roads can be
diverted TO subways. Bus lines can
supplant roads that run through
outlying districts. A number of
them are useless at present and
probably would always be useless.
This is an important step in the
preparation of the plan for a COM
plete transit system which will allow
for expansion to care for the
growth of the city. If the Transit
Commission desired to advance
fares, or if it in any way favored
what Mr.. Hylan calls the Interests. ,"
nothing would be easier than for it
to advise the purchase of these lines.
1t could always find an argument to
back such an action.
As it happens, however, it is in
tcrested only in getting adequate
transportation as soon as possible
and putting the system on basis
which will insure a fve-ccnt fare.
Its condemnation Of these twenty
six lines will leave Mr.. Hylan with
out one Of his most effective
and oftenest employed arguments
against the Transit Commission. But
If it helps to get the people cheap
transportation nobody is going TO
worry about where Mr.. Hylan is
being left.

But the fight cannot be camouAaged.
The treaties now seem to be immune
