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. "

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.

NEW YORK , May 9. 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. The serrate has. Tor Its own rea
sons , taken the responsibility of defying the
best opinion of the counlry ; and , under a
vnrlely of sham prelcnscs , It has shown
Ihat It Is orrt of harmony wllh llio humane
and friendly civilisation of the republic and
falls to comprehend Its Internallonal Irr-
leresls.
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. It ma.y Mirelv bo hoped Ihat
the European concerl' will slop the need
less sacrifice of life by applying compul
sion and forcinga settlement upon both
Iho belligerent nnljons. TOP one good Ihlnc
Is that QIC. Balkan stales . .straw.no , disposi
tion 'to'turn ' lire situation to their bvv'n ac
count , for so long1 as thai condition Is main
tained the peace of vveste-rn iSurope is s ifc
Tho- European money markets have Ihcre-
fore ceased lo regard Ihe slluallon ns a
public danger arrd peace Is waited for as
an early end to It. It Is moreover an as-
Curing circumstance In Ihe Mtuntlon that
Greece has escaped from Ihe dangers of a
revolution , nnd Ihere seems to be every
reason to hope that M. Rnrll , the new pre
mier , will be found willingto encourage
overlurcs for n reasonable peace.
Tuc c-xporl movement l . jrold has reacted
lo more moderate dimensions , The ship
nients for the week have amounted to only
J2.COOCOO. Rates for foreign exchange arc
easier , Iho demand for bills having slack
ened , while llroro has been an Improve-
menl in Ihe supply. At the same time the
current Imporls of merchandise at Ihis
port are upon n very largo scale. For lasl
week the tolal arrival * of uoodn were vil-
ued al J14.700.COO , against js 200,000 for Hie
corrc.sponeling period of 1SOC. Ho far in
these Imports may have been bought sub
ject to "easi" payment vvhleh under lire
present unusual conditions has become to
&omo extc'iit a lemponiry rule ihcy nal-
urally tend to bring about shlpmenls of
gold. It Is. however. Impossible lo fornr
airy sallsfactorv judgment as to the ex
tent lo which lliefc remillnnccs are likely
lo rrrrr.
The prospects of the cereal ciopa bepln
to altract attention but n-i vegetation is
one to two weeks behind Iho usual stage
al Ihls season Ihere Is llllle d.ala for formIng -
Ing cxpeclnllons. So far as respecls Ihe
yield of wlnler whcal , Iho besl estimators
place It at probably around 300.000000 bush
el ? , assuming HIP conditions of weather to
be favorable. Information from the north
west ns to spring wheat is , nt piesent ,
unsallsfactory , and lire snmo is Irue , Hrmrfth
to ' a less extcrrl , as lo Dakota and Minnesota
seta ; the lernperaluro has been deficient
and Iho molslure exccssi-c ; but there ls >
as ypt ample time for improvement In these
conditions ; the latest advices from some
sections report an Improvement and say
the early bown portion Is doing finely.

NCW YORK , May 9 The Financier says :
The heavy decreases shown In the state
ment of tire New York banks for the week
reflect In n belated manner Iho movement of
gold. The vvlthilrau.il of legal tenders for
gold export purposes Is shown In the con
traction of SG 188,200 In thu legal tender
Item. Tire difference between the $1,00),009
actually wlthdiavvn and the reported de
crease Iras been made up , apparently ,
through the iccelpts of money from Iho
Inlcrlor. Tire lolul loss In cash during
Iho week was $0,447,300 , lull It is noteworthy
Ural the banks , while they hive been losing
legal lenders , irro gaining gold , the Increase
since Iho export movement began ogsre-
Knllru ; JMO.OOO The detailed statement
shows that the ) CK . \ \ tenders withdrawn by
gold exporters were , furnished principally
by the Hanover National , the National
Hank of Iho Republic ! the Park Notional
and orro or two otbtrs'of ' the larger clear
ing house Instllutlons. The gain In spcclo
distributed well throughout ( ho list , but
as usual a very sniull percentage of the
banks bold the gr-tfAler part of the gold
now In the clearing4 hduso vnulls. The de
crease of $311C'K ) 111 lo.itrs Is u disappointing
feature of the stalemonl H was brought
aboui probably by jl'iuldallon In places , na
the demand for silver js stronger lhan one

Iho reserve was rl-mlced Sl.fffil.bTiO , bringing

CHICAGO , Mnv S-Wheat today not only
re-covered Hie lo ilccllne of yesterday , but
gnlncdc besides. A strong Liverpool
market fol'owlng yesterdrj's local weakness
nnd exceedingly unfnv-r rble crop roiiorls
created an almoit unun. i.ous tle lro to buy ,
nnd the market wan strong from tbo start.
Corn ntul oats Improved He. Provisions
started well , but wound up with n slight
loss.
Wheat was wanted at the opening nt
about Uu over Inst evening's closing price.
The trouble was that for half air horn
everyone In the pit appcarcil anxious to
buy , nnd they had lo conllnuo bidding 'iu
higher for every fresh lot. The short. " got

Corn opened steady. The trade was qulst

Oats ruled rather quiet , but like corn , tire
