0 THE OMAJIA DAILY 'MONDAY ' , MAY 10 , 1S)7. ! ) MODERN SCHOOL CHARTER Reforms Effected fo the Edticational Management of Greater New York DUAL SYSTEM OF SCHOOL GOVERNMENT Important lniiro\cinciil Srcurrit lif ( he M' l.HM V Coloi-mlo 1'ro- ( VNl AKIlIllM IJ CCMf l C ' Male Iliile. The 3C5 nquaro miles of territory comprU- Ing Greater Now York has a population ol 8" 1 832 porzona between the ngo of C and 21. The enrollment In the public schools Is 469,061 and the average dally attendance 318,223. Tcarhcra and principle * number 8- 42S. The number of school buildings Is 376 and of schools G75. The test of maintaining the school * during 1805 * as T10.552.S55. How the vast educational Interests ol Oroater Now York are to be managed after January 1 , 1898 , IS the fcubject of n papjr by Trank A. Klt/patrlck In the current number of Iho Educational Itcvlcw. Mr. Fll/patrlck reviews In detail the provisions of the char ier RovernliiK the scho < Is , and prononncca the work a gratifying Improvement on the existing system. Ho slious that the sclioo mlmlntatrntlon Is dual-consisting of a board of cilucatlon with nineteen members , which fchall have the management and control or the public sthoolH and the public school system of the city , subject only to the gen eral stalulwi of Hie slate relating to public EchnoU and public school Instruction' and to the piovlslons of the act. In addition there arc four local school board * , termed borough Kchcot boards , having jurisdiction over matters within Iho llmlU of their re- niicctlvo loca'.ltltfl ns proscribed an 1 denned by the provisions of the Jtct. The four bor oughs are New York , Iliooklyn , Richmond nnd Staten Island , and that portion of Queens county Included In droller New York. Each or thcso boioughs Is" to bavo a school board and a board superintendent ( elected by the borough school board ) , and Is to control Its own nrhoolB. subject to certain restrictions. POWEII ov run ncmouGii HOARDS. The member * of thine botougb boards arc appointed by the mayor of the Greater New York. Thin Insures a certain amount or homogeneity In the operations of these bor ough boards. Were they elected by the people ple In thetio boroughs , the tendency would bo to set up little Independent principalities within the larger body , which tendency has been the bane of existing sjstcms , with the exception that the principality was much smaller and therefore more dangerous , as It was compcued of a elnglo school orsanba- tlon. The borough school board clectfi Its president , clerks and such other officers as may bo nccctaary hen In Us chmge , for Kafo keeping , the school buildings and school property of the borough ; selects sites for hchool buildings ; elects u superintendent and nraoclato superintendents ; appoints prin cipals nnd teachers und fixes their salaries , rcgulalca the transfers of principals and teachers. It has no power o\er the con- fitiuctlon of school bulldlnps ; It has no power to represent Its borough b-foro the Hoard of Estimate and Appoi tlonment or before the municipal assembly , or any matter of ap propriations. It hano power to purchase supplies needed b > the borough ; It his no power over the certification of teachers , it has no power over the apportionment of the genera ! scl eel fund ; It has no power over the special school fund. THE CENTRAL. BOARD. To harmonize and to make cohesive the work of administration In the city , a board of education Is provided coia'ntlng ' of rep resentatives from eacli borough school bond Each borough school board Is represented In the Board of Education by Us chairman making four , and In addition there are elected from their own membership fifteen other delegates , making a total of nineteen members. This Hoard of Education has all financial responsibility ; the asking of ap propriations , the building of school houses , the purchasing of supplies , the licensing of teachers on recommendation of the city su perintendent and -accordance with , the term ? of the charter. The different school funds arc placed In charge of the Board of Education. Thus the borough school boards deal largely with questions of detail In the administration of affairs In their respective boroughs , which , If thrown Into the Board of Education , would render the work of ad ministration extremely arduous ; while the Board of Education deals with general mat ters , and has control over the borough school boards to such an extent as to prevent the growth of wejl known abuses. The central lloard of Education elect ? a elty superintend ent , who shall have charge of the sclmols of the entire city under certain restrictions The professional or pedagogical administra tion of the schools In each borough Is placed In the hands of the borough superintendent end hla associates , who constitute what Is termed the borough board of superintend ents. They have power to establish rules for the promotion , graduation and transfer of pupils ; have power to transfer tcachcra from ono school to another , tubject to the by-laws of the borough board ; have power to recommend all text book's , apparatus , and other supplies that may be needed , subject to approval by the borough board ; have power to issue syllabusro In the various branches of study. It will be seen that the practical management of the schools , from the teachers' standpoint , Is In the hands of the borough ( superintendents and their as- Boclates. FINANCIAL * POWEH. The Board of Education has power to ap portion the general school fund among the different boroughs. "The quota for each bor ough Is J100 for every qualified teacher who filial ! have actually taught In the schools of the borough for a term of thirty-two weeks of five days each. After apportion ment shall have been so rnado , tbo remainder of the general fund shall bo apportioned among the boroughs In proportion to the ag gregate number of days of attendance of the pupils resident therein between the ages of 5 and 18 years. " This Iras a local sig nificance and Is Intended to be an Improve ment upon the present method of apportion ment In the territory covered by the Greater Now York. An Interesting matter connected with this apportionment Is the power that la specially conferred upon the Hoard of Edu. ration to direct the comptroller to withhold from any borough school board any part of the moneys apportioned to the latter upon the basis of the number of teachers employed In any school irnder Us charge , "when tire city superintendent shall report to the Board of Education that the provisions of the state school lawn or of this chapter , or the by laws of the Hoard of Education In any way rotating to such Echool or to Its teachers ro not being compiled with. " REFORMS EFFECTED. Mr. Fltzpatrtck summarizes the reforms effected by the charter as follows : It segregates all questions relative to the work of managing the schools , so far as the Initiative Is concerned the appointment and removal of teachers , the course of study and the , tools with which the teachers work Into purely professional hands. U eliminates a vast amount of patronage by providing a definite plan by which teach ers , principals , janitors , truant and attend ance officers are to be selected. Proper safe guards are provided to prevent this patron age from becoming a perquisite of .the su perintendents and officers of the school board. It establishes a broad and rational plan for the licensing of teachers , and places this power wisely In the handa of a different body from that which nominates or that which appoints the teachers. It prescribe * thu minimum qualification that shall bo possessed by the city superin tendent , borough superintendents , associate superintendents , supervisors of music , druvv- ' Inis. kindergarten , etc. It secures for the Individual boroughs which form the amalgamated city , local orliool government of a class which will cna- . blo the- schools to make the transition with out loss and with a distinct gain to them- eclvcn. It preserves the salurlia of teachers and principals at a reisonable figure In a borough vvhcro the living expenses are ab normally high , and prevents an unneces sarily heavy burden from being placed upon the taxpayers by an equalising of salaries In boroughs where living expenses are normal. It abolishes the vicious trustee , or sub committee , government , It gives scope for Individual excellence by formally giving Per mission to borough boards to regulate and fix eularlen of members of the teaching staff "by merit , by thu grade of claim taught , by the length cf Bfrvlce , or by the experience In teaching of the Incumbent In clnrgc or by euch & combination of these tonfildcrn- HOUR an ( lit- school board mar deem proper " "Said salaries need not bo Uniform through out all the several boroughs nor In any two of them , nor throughout any one borough. " TOO .MLt7i r\lNiT RUM ; . Cnlorndo Teni'lu I'M PriitoM Arxnlnnt I Niitloiml A i"icln < lnn. The Tcarhcrs * club of Denver has formally registered n kick Against male rule In the National Educational association and pro posed to follow Itlth ballots Biifllclcnt to substitute women for men when election tlmo conic ? . According to the Denver News , members of the club , with one or two exceptions , take the ground that the controlling tplrlts of the National Kdticatlonil ie orlatlon are not capable of moulding Young America's edit' ' cation , nnd they will Issue a manifesto ml drcsje-1 to crcry largo school In the tnnd , asking that the women who do the actual work In thu schools be awarded the most re sponsible position ! ) , Instead of men , whom , It Is declared , have no practical experience along these lines' ' . The club certainly shotted Itnclf almost a unit when the startling mibject was brought tip bv stiange to say i gentleman , Ho \\i\s armed with a resolution In the rough , providing for the drafting of a manifesto by a committee of three to bo selected by the Denver body as soon as possible. The principal section of the manifesto BH It nou stands Is as follows' "Nlnet > per cent of llro school children of this country onlj reach the eighth grade In the public schools. Some of them never reach that grade , but the per cent named stop when they arrive at the eighth and go nn further. Id Is a fact that 90 per cent of the teachers of the United States are women , who labor Industriously to educate the young. The majority of this great teachers' associa tion the National Educational association hns been and Is almost exclusively In thu hands of certain turn who have had little erne no actual experience In the work of training the mindof this 90 per cent of our future cttlrcnn. " This means.briefly , that the National Ed ucation association Is In line with almost any largo organization , which shifts the nc- tual work of Its engineering onto the should ers of subordinates , or upon the huulders of men totally Incapable of trananctlng It. In view of the enormous percentage of women teachers In the country , and of the member ship roll of the National Education a socla- tlon , Colorado women belle-ve the sex should have a corresponding representation In the executive body. It Is the Intention to have such a large expression of opinion on the subject from the teachers , that their man- Ifeuto when spiling upon the convention next July will bo met with a change of elective policy , and that the National Education as- ( .relation will In the future be almost wholly governed , either by men entirely efficient In educational work or by women. It Is need less to add that the ! attci resort Is prefera ble. Ansthcr matter embodied In the manifesto , BO far crudely drafted. Is In relation to the habit of teachers presiding over a school loom congested with fifty 01 sixty scholars ' It is not denied that alm l every laige'clty has Its teachers who conduct alone clnbsrr of fifty. This , It Ir argued entails a certain amount of neglect , and thu pupil In a room of this sort Is not given the due attention ho would receive If the teacher only hnd n score irr her class. This 1" considered a glaring evil and the recommendations In the manifesto arc hoped to be productive of a remedy. MJi > iiivii : COURT i'iucinui\as. ) AIny 4. 1S07.

Henry Clews , heai ! of the banking house of Henry Clews & Co. vvrltca : During Iho past week Wall street has retained tbo features of steady iiulet ap parent for romc tlmo past. There have been no events of sutilcleiir momentum to change Iho current of affairs , nnd the In terest hns centered almost entirely In i few Bpeclnlllt-s. The reporting of the tnrlfl bill by Hie scrrnlo finance commlltce had u good effect on feeling In the Stock ex change ns Imllrallng Hie removal of ob stacles to expediting the enactment of tire measure and therebj aiding the recovery of buslnera In Industrial circles. The change . In Ihe duties on sugar produced n sharp advance In the stock of the Sugar Refining company , which , however , was followed by a quick reacllon. Wall Blreel was disappointed nt the son- nle's rejection of the Anglo-American nrbl- irnllon treaty. The result nail been ver > Kcnemlly expected , nnd the event therefore hud no effect upon prices ; It was , never theless , deeply regrctlcd ns the loss of lire opportunity for cementing frlcndlv relations between ' the two countries , nnd for en couraging a more unreserved confidence In American enterprises among the Investing community of dront Britain. In this point of view llio rojecllon of the treaty Is the more unforlunntc because It Is likely to be construed ns reflecting tin unfriendly at- tllttdo on llio part of this counlry toward England , which nt least Is not calculated lo encourage commercial and financial con fldpncc ns between the- two nations. Con sidering that England holds probably Jl.MH- OOO.OW of our f-ecurllles nnd lakes nearly one-h lit of our exporls of merchandise , Ihls icjecllon of a treaty of amlly cannot ha regarded , from n business standpoint , as anything short of a ginvu public misfor tune , the effects of which may be here after felt In many unseen wnjs At the same lime , U would bo a wrong lo Ihe American people to n = sunio Ihat as a na tion we sjmp.Uhlzo wllh Ihls pciverse de cision.

In railroad finance the chief event has been the favorable character of the an nual report of Iho Lake Shore , which showed rret earnings , nfler deducting fixed charges , amounling lo C 11 per cent. The March stalemcnt of the Pennsylvania also was , all things considered , repnrdcd as n good one. The weak point of the market hns cenlered In Ihe Gould group , which has suffered in sympathy with Ihe unsaUs- faclory posllion of Missouri Pacific. WAR HAS LITTLE EKFECT. The Grcco-Turklsh war has scarcely been an appreciable element In the market for securities. There Is still u general feeling of assurance that ( he powers retain control of Ihe situation nnd are only awaiting n favorable opportunity ' for exercising It Holh of the belligerents should now icgaid the present sltualon | as n desirable one for concluding a peace. Greece may , however , -desire furlhcr oppor- lunilv for redeeming hc Joss of mllllaiy Rresllge and reconquering the lerrllorv "bi as lost and Turkey may want to carry sllll further lire SIICCOKM-S that have done so much to raiseher military stains and lo redeem her bad reputation for Inhum rn methods of warfare U Is to be expected Ihat n corlaln e\lent'of Ihis sort of tem porizing will have to bo submitted lo by Ihe powers , wllh , consequenl delays of peace , * but. In case of n corillnu.ince of lighting without any decisive adv.mlngc on either side.
