The New York Telephone Company has blazed a new trail toward a different kind of public ownership of public utilities Substantial amounts of telephone company stock widely distributed among telephone sub- scribers and employees mean not only a new kind of public interest in the company’s affairs but also a new sense of responsibility on the com- pany’s part toward the public it directly serves. Telephone subscribers who are also telephone shareholders are going to exert a new influence on management and policy as well as on service. We hear a lot these days for and against pub- lic ownership combined with private operation. Here is a form of it well worth watching—a form where the troublesome elements of politics, FREIGHT Po Rares for several terms before they are introduced to the study of fractions. In New York it is” different. Children here encounter the first day of school fractions on lo make it worse and more confusing, they are improper fractions. These New York City fractions are the frac- tions of seats to which pupils are assigned, the fractional study periods required in double ses- sion and part-time and the education that results. All improper as no mere arithmetical computation can be improper These improper fractions are ,the quotient of the New York educational problem divided by Hylan—a dividend far larger than the divisor. It is a problem in which there seem to be no common factors which may be used to simplify. For four years of Hylanism there was an alibi —the war. The alibi no longer exists. New York school children are going to start the com- ing school year Monday with more part-time pupils and more divided seats than last year Hylan and Hylanism are not keeping up with the “increase, let alone remedying the bad con- ditions of previous years—as Hylan solemnly promised he would do when he w for votes. schools fractional as campaigning The shock in Smyrna seems to have been plainly enough ‘felt on the royal throne in Athens. WORTH WATCHING. HIS month the New York Telephone Com- pany has sent upward of 37,000 certifi- cates, representing over $12,000,000, to paid-up owners among those who took advantage last June of the company's public offer of $25,000,- 000 6% per cent. Cumulative Preferred Stock in small amounts to customers and employees. So heavily oversubscribed was this issue that a “consolation prize” was subsequently offered in THE WEEK.

UEL DIRECTOR WOODIN is reassuring when he preaches sanity and economy as the best policy in the coal crisis. He does not expect that “lightless nights” will become neces- sary. . Light is, for the most part, generated from bitumtnous coal. It is in the anthracite field that the shortage is most serious. And as a gen- eral rule it is the consumers of anthracite, the small householders, who them Director Woodin has ample powers. It is to be hoped he will not need to use them widely, His primary task is to prevent profiteering in anthracite and in bituminous in small quantities. have most to worry sold In a larger way he can do most valuable work by spreading the gospel of coal economy, which doesn’t mean skimping on coal but rather the burning of coal to get the maximum heating effect from it.
