Che x ‘PedManed by the Press Publishing Company, No. 53 to Park Row, New York: _ Mentored at the Post-Office at New York as Second-Class Mall Matter, ————_____. VOLUME 46 LESSON OF THE LAST SCENE, » Yesterday the body of Hiram Cronk, the last surviving soldier of | the war of 1812, who died on Saturday at the age of 105, was borne into | the City Hall with military honors, there to lie in state until to-day, when it will appropriately be buried with fifty of his comrades in that | ‘war on “Victory Hill,” in Cypress Hills Cemetery, in Brooklyn, It was fitting that these public honots be paid to this veteran of all } veterans. The war in which he was engaged when only a lad was on June 18, 1812, and ended on Feb, 17, 1815. It called into service of their country 85,000 regulars and 471,622 militia and vol. | © unteers, And of all this force of more than haif a million men, Hiram: | Cronk, the New York soldier, buried to-day, was for some years the sole | Burvivor. ‘The great events In history which happened within the space of his | fife—the advance of human liberty, the progress of discovery and inven- | tlon, the wonderful development of the country for which he fought— | Shave been often recounted, But is there anything more significant, more {instructive and more nobly encouraging in connection with the passing | “of this veteran, than the reflection: How impossible, how untlinkable, ts sanother war between the United States and Great Britain | i ic a eae seees sssesesesesereNO, 18,076, posiereszes settee Mayor Dunne, of Chicago, says If the rloting strikers do not stop "their crimes of violence he will send them to bed without their suppers -or spank them real hard, If it were done, Dunne, “when 'tis done, then | ‘twere well it were done quickly.” see ie) THE IDEAL PUBLIC SCHOOL, ‘A public school should be more than a place of mechanical Instruc- to school children during stated hours The herding together of | ve thousand small children in one building is not the best condition tchild’s education. { The school should include a recreation place, a gymnasium, a hall, Jand possibly baths, for it should not only be a place for children, but ' “for elders, the social centre of the neighborhood, where all the people ‘could gather and become acquainted and establish a community feeling. ‘The crowding and concentration of population in cities by no means necessarily destroys the good qualities of the country school. To make the most of the public school the unit should be small. "The school should be a neighborhood school, within easy walking dis- tance of the homes of all tie children who attend it. The staff of iteachers should be semi-permanent, and so far as practicable they should ycome from the same neighborhood as their pupils. The public schools both supplement and in part take the place of the home, They should contain more of the home feeling and of the community instinct. | | In a word, public schools should be neighborhood schools, retaining ‘and cultivating amid all modern improvements the virtues of the “little red school” house which turned out great men and good women, “Though this is impossible on Manhattan Island, it remains the true ideal. | ‘Thé leopard cannot change his spots, nor the chorus girl abandon her Hove for the lime-light. To ooin a bad notoriety into money is the nat- tural climax of the wretched “Nan” Patterson scandal. i BUMPOLOGY, ’ t There is nothing like science. Even pseudo-science is better than ‘not knowing, and knowing that we do not know. | ©. Therefore it is well that the Union Pacific Railroad management has made a contract with a Chicago phrenologist to ‘examine the bumps of the sixty clerks in its passenger department.” The object, it is said, Is to “determine which department of railroading the subject is best fitted for.” A capital idea! An expert would no doubt have discovered a hol- L . tow big enough to hold a goose egg where the bump of “efficiency” Me ehould be on the cranium of the President of the Brooklyn Rapid (1) ' ‘Transit system, Think what a gain it would have been to the suffering 'patrons of this system if Winter had passed under the hand of a bumpol- ogist, and been assigned to keeping tab on lost freight cars! t Going higher up, if a government “bump specialist” had been called ‘in to examine the head of Paul Morton would President Roosevelt have selected him as a Cabinet officer to stop illegal rebates and secure a square deal” in rates? \ To discover “latent abiiity” by hummocks on the head !s a great scheme. But how can an examiner be sure that a bump was not caused by a thump?
