REORGANIZATION NEEDED. Ex-Senator Gerard, a member of the Board of Education, made the extraor- dinary statement yesterday that the city authorities, the statisticians, the cen- sus and school returns and the people have been laboring under a singular error in supposing that our public school accomodations are insuflictent to supply all the children of the city with educa- tion, The ex-Senator deciares that In- stead of being a scarcity of school factll~ tles, many thousands of seats tn the School-houses are unfilled. There ts a surplusage of room instead of too Ittle, Mr. Gerard thinks ‘too much fuss" ts made over the question of more accom- Modation, and he objects to the bill pend- fhg before the Legislature to reorganize the Board of Hducation by making It consist of five salaried members. He thinks the kindergarten system should be abandoned, and is opposed to military drill tn the schools Perhaps no better argument could be advanced In favor of a complete reor- ganization of the Board of Education than thé simple publication of ex-Sena- tor Gerard's views. A CAMP-MEETING IN THE CLOUDS. A camp-meeting of aeronauts is being talked about The suggestion has been made that students of man-filght get together soméwhere on Cape Cod and show each other what they have achleved In the way of wings.

Mr. Platt's cordial approval of the Executive Chamber at the State Capitol cannot but gratify the taxpayers who have for long years done their share so fully towards making all parts of the Capitol what they should be, Mr. Platt thcught the Chamber “‘a very fine room.” And as yet he has also found the new omMctal occupant of the room beyond criticism on his part. There are people in plentiful numbers who consider this latter circumstance less fortunate than the Tlogan's liking for ths Chamber as a Chamber, troduced at Albany, providing that the falo may vote on the question of Sunday opening; but that after they have voted no one {8 in any way bound by the re- sult.

A Woman Editor's “Beat.” Lady Colin Campbell has succeeded in passing all the other papers in London by securing as a contributor for her new paper, the-Realm, the Sultan of Turkey. All of the other papers are pitching into the Realm in a very vigorous fashion for using the Sultan as an advertisement, but the ring of jealousy is evident everywhere. The Sultan did not actual- ly write the article himself, as he is not @ very facile penman, according to the gossips, but he dictated it to one of his Misisters, and then corrected it. The enterprise of the Realm in securing the article is looked upon as marking an epoch in British journalism and as beat- ing the American papers in their own fleld. The Sultan did not say anything of any particular consequence In his ar- ticle, but that aspect of the question is not looked upon as worthy of discussion.

The American Girl Restored. Outdoor Iife, delight in action, the spirit of sport, have taken hold of Amer+ {can womanhood. Girls of strong phy- \sique, erect carriage and energetic spirit, delighting in ten: riding, boating, walking, are now the rule; the feeble, indoor do-nothing 1s the exception, and the result is @ tall, vigorous race, with free steps and cheeks aglow with the ruddy color of physical health and en- ergy. Walk along the avenues of any large city at the fashionable hours and the procession of bright, animated girl- hood which passes before one’s eyes gives ample proof of Summer activity. All over the country, where there are men and money to start a club and create a sporting interest, the women also have their share of advantages, and in not @ few cases their fair share also of the work of setting the organizations on foot. There are few country clubs, hunt clubs, tennis clubs or other sport- ing clubs throughout the Union which have not a lady membership.
