J THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON: SATURDATY............Septomber 7, 1859. CROSHY & NOTES. . Eater. —S SE THE EVENING STAR has the fullest Local Cireniation of any Newspaper in the Wertd, and as an Advertising Medium 1» werth mere than all the ether papers pubuseed In Washington. etd Sew York Office Room 93, Tribune Building, As the time for the opening of the public schools approaches several of the large Atlantic coast cities discover and bewail the fact that their accommodations for the children are in- adequate. Some of the little ones must be cheated out of the education for which their mts and the general public, to whom their lemaiane means a detriment, have been taxed. ‘The evil of insufficient school buildings, and fits companion evil of the use of unfit rented quarters in preference to a total denial of the opportunitics of instruction, have been felt by Washington at lenst as severely as by any of its sister citi ut there is a brighter outlook before it Eleven new school houses will be opened to pupils at the beginning of the school year two weeks from Monday, and it is expected that by Christmas ten more will be completed. When school- room is insufficient the evil always seems to fall upon the primary pupils, in whose educa- tion the public is theoretically the most inter- ested, and for whose instruction it can most logically be called upon to pay. Tae Star has many times made vigorous protests against the failure of Congress to provide the buildings necessary for the District school children, es- pecially the pupils in elementary branches, aud it heartily congratulates the capital that for this year at least there will be no occasion for itto join in the clamor of other cities for more school room. Twenty-one additional structures will doubtless relieve the pressure, The announcement by the superintendent that the system of manual training in the local echoois will be further developed will also meet with popular approval. After the elementary branches of a general education have been dis- posed of, thousands of children will derive from training in the useful employment of their hands their most profitable instruction, and that which will enable them to make tothe state as steady, productive and useful citizens, the greatest returns for their teaching. Oppo- sition on the part of a few members of trades’ unions to manual training in the public schools and to special trade schools has developed in this country. The International Labor Congress in its recent meeting’at Paris adopted resolutions favoring technical as well as professional education for children, The wiser view of the mattes is that taken by the foreign workmen, and those who think with them in this country. The appren- tice system is a failure as a substitute for man- ual training schools. The youth of America should be encouraged to develop at will, and in the direction toward which natural ability and inclinations pomt, the faculties with which mature has endowed them. The one whom nature has fitted to be, and who aspires to be- come, @ skilled workman with his hands, should not be handicapped at the outset in favor of him who inclines to “professional” pursuits, $< Senator Hawley argues in favor of holding the proposed international exposition of 1892 in New York with less intelligence and fairness than would have been expected from his char- acter and opportunities for reaching correct couclusious in the matter. He says, for exam- ple, that the population within two or three hours’ travel of Washington does not exceed 1,400,000. The Senator forgets—o: did he never know?—that Philadelphia is now within three hours of Washington, and that she alone eluims, and doubtless has, a population nearly if not quite equal to the number he names. 3,000,000 would be much nearer the right figure for the area he specifies. Equally is he at fauit in asserting that climatic conditions are in favor of New York as against Washing- ton. With her clean, wide streets, ample park spaces, and profusion of shade trees, the sum- mer temperature of Washington is mach more endurable than that of New York, with her narrow, dirty streets, high buildings and foul smells. This is the testimony of every fair minded person familiar with the subject. New York is a brisk town for trade, but Washington is the proper place for the great show of °92, if that affair is to be a truly in- ternational event, and not a mere local specu- lative enterprise, run in the interest of the hotel keepers and merchants of a single lo- ality. NSS erase arena The revival of the talk about compelling Nevada to retire from the Union on account of her decadence in population may be very promptly met by a citation from the first arti- cle of the federal constitution. It is true that the constitution says, “The number of repre- sentatives shail not exceed one for every thirty thousand,” but it immediately adds: “But each state shall have at least one representa- tive.” This provision, as can be shown by reference to contemporary litera- ture from the pens of leading ex- Pounders of the instrument, was adopted for the purpose of preventing the exercise of any tyranny by the more populous upon the less populous states. And, even if there were no proofs ou this point, there ig distinct pro- Vision in the fifth article, that no state shall be deprived, without its consent, of its equal suffrage in the Senate. Ar state, under our system, represented in one house and not in the other, would present a singular specta- cle—one evidently not contemplated by the framers of the federal charter, And it may be taken for granted that Nevada would never consent to give up one of the privileges she has enjoyed for a quarter of a century as one of the sisterhood of states. The solution of Nevada's problem will be found in the addition to the state of parts of the adjacent territories until a respectable population is secured, Mormonism in the iand to be annexed stands im the way of the immediate application of this method of relief. $e Among the various means adopted by persons who seek to take their own lives, there are some which leave no doubt of the suicide’s insanity. Such is that employed by Mrs. Fetter in Balti- more, who drank a pint of coal oil, saturated her clothing with it and set herself on fire. No sane person, it is safe to say, ever invoked the most painful of death-dealing agencies for sui- cidal purposes, when there are so many means athand which will accomplish the same end With less resulting agony. a The unwearied chestuut-broker has dis- covered once more that the Secretary of State is about to retire from the Cabinet. It would be a very chilly day—such an one as we do not get in © Washington September—when the same veracious chronicler of great men's do- ings could not send Mr. Blaine on some journey he never thought of taking. It would be quite in accord with the Secretary's way of doing things, of course, to make all the Preparations for « pan-American Congress, LANS= BURGH 2.
