The petty charges exacted by the ¢ in difninishing the number of people who use the bath the large foreign-born population of New York that pensable adjunct to American government. Corruption in high places does not teach so effectively the le of the perversion of American teachings, The mass of the population of New York do not come in eontact with it. The grafting on peddlers and small shopkeepers by the police, the small, mean fi f grafting by the inspectors of the Tenement and Building depart the petty ex- tortion of employees of the Street-Cleaning Department and this and ten cent graft of the attendants in the public baths, these little things| demoralize a numerically greater number of the population than do the railroad rebates, the important contracts and the dishonest manipulations} of high finance. 4 The seeds of graft sown by these petty officials produce a crop of men who demand pay for their votes, of boys devoid of sound principles of honesty and the general belief that justice is a favor to be purchased | instead of a matter-of-course right. | ” THE MAYOR AND THE THREE R'S. Mayor McClellan's address to the Teachers’ Convention is well worth careful reading. While his official position hampered his saying every- thing he wished, his criticism of the New York public schools by compar- tison with the country schools is true. It is surprising how boys and girls can spend several years at s and still know as little about spelling, reading, writing and ai the present-day products of the New York public school. If th more about sewing buttonholes, cooking, art, music, botany and teresting subjects than they do about the three R's the whole resuit of t school system will be little more than a waste of the children’s time and theaxpayers’ money. As Mayor McClellan puts it, there is nothing disgraceful about the three R’s and nothing degrading in teaching them. Many men have sue-| ceeded in life even though they learned nothing else in school in chi than how to read, write and figure. Even higher education is some difficult to the man or woman who cannot spell the common Eng words and to whom the multiplication table is a stranger. While political considerations have induced Mayor McClellan to keep his hands off the public schools, it would be much better should he the school board upon his official knee and spank into it the yiews ¥ he has just expressed. LEGISLATIVE RECORDS. | The Citizens’ Union’s command of language is inadequate for all oc-| casions. The City Committee has published a record of the New York City legislators for 1905. It excoriates the majority of the meml the Senate and the Assembly, both Democrats and Republic It praise nine New York Assemblymen, four Brooklyn Assemblymen and one Sen- ator. While it gives space to criticisms of Elsberg, Gardner, Cooper and others, when it comes to Patrick H.
