PUBLICITY’S GREAT FORCE, + In his address at New Haven on the defects of the American vublic school system President Eliot extolled publicity as the prime factor of progress. He said: ‘To use in Industrial conflicts a weapon forged In secret fs to exhibit an utter lack of faith In the best means of rem- | ‘edy for Industrial wrongs—publicity. When the capltalists or | | middiemen resist a strike without publishing their reasons the demonstration of lack of faith In publi Yet publicity is the great security for dem Weapon against political, social, industrial Wrongdoing, and, In the long-run, the most means of political and social progress, The reader hears here an echo of World ciitorial itterances made originally at the time of the threatened y Js complete. racy, the best | or commercial trustworthy Venezuelan conflict and since reiterated with Intelligent | emphasis in other periods of crisis. i he best means of remedy for industrial wrongs.” An application of this truth by miners and operators last | June would have anticipated by five months the final | é recourse to arbitration which was had only after much | public distress and bitterness of spirit. What a galn for the nation if it had been made use of then before an out- raged public opinion made it mandatory! ‘The delay has been answerable for widespread Indus- triafdistress, for pitiful processions of children and sick women carrying home the dear-purchased fuel in pails, for a monetary loss of nearly $150,000,000, for crimes of violence and murder. And there fs left also a train of remoter evils consequent on the injection of socialist poison which will make the reconstruction period one of difficulty. It will be to industry what that following the OUR INADEQUATE SCHOOLS. ‘What the distinguished President of Harvard Univer- ty had to say about our common school system would shock us beyond measure if uttered by a foreign educa- Yor—provided tho criticism did not simply excite our derision. 1s not our school system the Inner ark of our covenant with oursvlves that we are the world’s leading pation? President Hjiot finds !t wanting and holds it Fesponsible for mob viclence, gambling, intemperance, the spoils system, indeed, most of the worst ills of the body politic, And also “it has failed to cultivate sufficient reasoning power in employers and employed to prevent strikes, violence and Joss.” The bill of particulars is full and explicit, and drawn gs it is by an educator who at thirty took charge of a collez> which he has made one of the world’s great universities, It is the expression of one competent to npeak, The remedy proposed is more money to provide better primary educational facilities and to improve the personnel of the teachers. “Greater effectiveness means ’ greater costliness,” he says. “But could any one imagine it to be unreasonable to spend for the moral and mental training of a child as much as Js spent on his food? If that equality in expenditure could be established over the Union there would result a prodigious improvement in the public schools,” When we desire to think with pride of our educa- tional system shall we be obliged, after all, to look back to the little red schoolhouse whence our Clays and Web- sters and TAncolns came? What the instruction of that period tacked in frills was compensated for in character bullding. INSPECTOR. HARLEY’S TEARS. Inspector Harley, retired yesterday by Commissioner | Partridge, is reported to have wept as he prepared to} shed his chevrons and quit the scenes of his long ser- vice—we had almost said “activity,” but that word would be a misnomer. One can appreciate the Inspector's emo- s tion. once were mine and are no longer mine.” And the In; spector's regrets are somewhat heightened and his sensl- } tive nature wounded by the reflection that just as he | goes his successor, Inspector Brooks, has teen raiding gambling-houses of which the retired Inspector does not seem to have known. Harley said yesterday he felt sure that in retiring he left no enemv behind him. A touching tribute to a gentle life, but hardly a proper boast for a policeman whom, more shan a statesman, we ought to love for the enemies he has made. Harley's record {s clean, for {t has been sald of him that he ‘“‘was not one to make trouble for himself or for any one else.” From which we fancy that his fortune must be a modest one; but better than riches tn old age is the serene consciousness of a well-ordered life, equably _ spent, with no harm done to one’s fellow men, no “trouble” made for anybody. And yet it fs not exactly : tor that that police officers are selected. THE TREELESS BOULEVARD, A.joint west side and Morningside Heights committee is seeking to make the subway contractors restore the Boulevard to some of its old beauty as a tree-lined thor- oughfare. Residents of the west side who had watched ts trees grown up from sickly and unpromising sap- Mngs felt a personal pang when they were cut down in their early maturity, needlessly, as {t seemed, and with ‘vandal axes. In repiacing them the contractors have kept to the letter of their agreement, but in many cases they have *pubstituted nursery culls planted in poor soil. ‘The chances in the present circumstances of a restoration of the long reaches of well-matured trees are very slight and the committee's usefulness Is apparent.

Fanny gave her needlework an enem metic punch as she sald: “I'm going to do my best to win Mr. Barnston.” | “I hope you are not angry with me?” Mrs. Hyssop asked, “Oh, no, not In the least." was the reply. "1 thank you very much for your advice. Fanny walked majestically Into the house, ‘Two days later Mrs. Hyssop was again sitting upon the front veranda. A frail creature in white, with a last year's a sailor on and a music-roll in her lap, sat beside her, Both were gazing absently across the street. “I don't.see how I shall get through the sumnftr,” the frail creature sald. “Almost all of my pupils have now gone to the country to stay for the summer, 1 must make a living somehow.” "You poor dear,” solaced the feeling widow, “No one knows that better than I do. When my dear husband died he left me almost destitute. But I thought at once of starting a boarding- house, and the first thing I knew Mr. Barnston"~ ‘The frail creature suddenly raised her eyes, She was the other girl with whom Mr, Barnston was “taking up," as his landlady put it. “Mr, Barnston camey and before long T got more boarders than I could accom- modate,”" ended Mrs. Hyssop, Again she had set the ball rolling Barnstonward, and again her ~ hopes rose, for the frail oresture with the muste roll at once plunged headlong into the subject of Mrs. Hyssop's first boarder, “Of course," she said, “you must have noticed that Mr. Barnston has been paying attention to me of late.

She hurried into the parlor and sat down at the plano, When Fanny passed through the hall Loulse was playing “The Last Rose of Summer," She remained at the plano until tt was time for Mr. Barnston to make his ap- pearance. As soon as she heard him talking to Mrs, Hyssop she started up “I'd Leave My Happy Home for You,"" oe The greatest day in the Algonquin's history dawned bright and clears “Just a perfect wedding day,” from all sides. ‘From early morning there was con- stant bustling. By noon the house began to take on {ts decorations. ‘The boarders who came for their mid- day meal were loud in their praises of the excellent taste manifested. And when evening at last came and they began to assemble In the varlor there was a veritable buzz of talk about things in general. \ Finally the guests had been ushered in, all but one, and that one would not witness the ceremony. In an upper room she sat alone at an open window, with a handketchief to her eves, weep- ing. She could hear the minister's volce as he made them man and wie, Later, when she heard the b below, she knew that {t was all ov Rut she still sat at the window, She saw the carriage drive up and halt at tho stepping-stone. She heard loud talking out on the sidewalk. She saw figures scurrying back and forth. Then she heard a chorus of shouts, A moment later the sound of rica thrown against the carriage, more shouting, and then the sharp bang to of the carriage door. Afterward the patter of horses’ feet and the sound of wheels on the cobble- stones. Then more shouting. Within the yehicle sat two very happy beings. . ‘The ride to the station was short, and when they entered their train Mr. Barn- ston was surprised to see, seated at the other end of the car, a former chum of his.
