An Urgent Need.
Crowdacl to Its uttermost limits, the
Lackawanna hospital last week hud to
Bend a number of young convulesconta
Into private housrs in order to keep
tli. 'in out nt i hi :iy of n diphtheritic
enso developed among Its Inmates. Tho
iH.Mntlnn of this diphtheritic patient
was nccomrll-hfd successfully, thanks
to capable management, but not with
out great Inconvenience and a degree
of risk to the other patients which
should not occur In a well-regulated
hospital.
This circumstance vividly emphasizes
tho Lackawanna hospital's need of a
contagious ward. Had such a ward
Ken Jn readiness last week, the pa
tient suffering from diphtheria could
promptly have been transferred Into It
without dlillculty or peril and the usual
minlBtiatlons of the hospital could
have pi acceded without friction or Jar.
A hospital ivcclvlng the number and
variety of patients which the Lacka
wanna hospital receives, and deMnned
to serve tho multitudinous wants of a
complex population having literally no
other free refuge In time of accident
or sudden disability, Is sorely handi
capped by the lack of a separate apart
ment for the reception of victims of
L'otitaclmi'i diseases. The continued
absence of such an apaitnient in tho
case of an Institution supported largely
b public contributions Is a severe re
flection upon the benevolence of the
community. It indicates a neglectful
public sentiment which, In Its practical
effects upon hospital work, Is as bad
ns a sentiment of hostility would be.
AVo understand that the directors of
the Lackawanna hospital are consider
ing tho advisability of purchasing
enough property In the Immediate
vicinity of the hospital to enable them
to fit ill) properly a contagious ward
such ns Is required by tho necessities
of the hospital's work. If an affirma
tive decision shall be reached it will
mean an appeal to the community for
financial help. The ward Is needed
for the community's good. No invest
ment which bcnovolenco could make
would perform a more useful or a moro
timely service.

School Savings.
Fourteen years ago last March tho
experiment of collecting small sums of
money from school children to bo placed
to their credit as savings deposits was
Instituted In tho schools of Long Island
City, X. Y upon the Initiative of J. II.
Thlry. As the parent of this admlr
able idea, Mr. Thlry has watched its
growth with special interest, and he
has favored us with a table of statis
tics showing tho dimensions of the
school savings bank movement on Jan.
1, ISM. On that dato school banking
was in pratTlco in 351 schools, distrib
uted throughout S9 cities or villages
and 14 states of the Union; the total
deposits were $019,217.01, tho amount
withdrawn was $441, 823.83, and the bal
ance due. $207. 4211S. an Increase over
the balance duo on Jan. 1, 1S9S, of $27,
7C9.16. In Mr. Thiry's table seven schools In
Scranton are represented. School No.
19, Josephine D. Lees principal, was tho
first of tlo local schools to open a sav
ings account, the date of Its Institution
being Dec. 7, 1897. On Jan. 1 last of
697 registered pupils 330 were deposit
ors, their total deposits having been
$S70.99. of which but $20 had been with
drawn. School 32, II L. Morgan prin
cipal, befiun Jan. 17, 189S, and had on
Jan. 1 last, $63.31 on deposit, represent
ing 136 depositors out of a total regis
tration of 39C. There had been no with
drawals. KIght days later School 13,
David Owens principal, opened a sav
ings account and at the date of Mr.
Thiry's report there was a total de
posit of $WC20 and a total withdrawal
of $100, representing the savings of 323
pupils out of an enrolled attendance
of 523. School 27, J. II. Hawker prin
cipal, began March 28, 189S, and had at
date of reckoning $323.73 on deposit, tho
savings of 1C9 out of D7G enrolled pupils.
School 30. Maggie O'Donnell principal,
began the first day of last October and
In three months had $116.33 on deposit,
the savings of 221 out of 342 registered
pupils. School 9. W. l. Graves prin
cipal, began Oct. 3 last and had, on
Jan. 1, $S7.G6, belonging to 119 among
269 pupils. School 23, J. J. Costello prin
cipal, began Oct 10 and by the end of
tho year had $74. 2S, belonging to 103 of
250 pupils. The total deposits for theso
seven Scranton schools, Jan. 1 last, was
$2,431.77, nn average deposit of $1.71.
Tho withdrawals averaged less than 9
cents for each of tho 1,423 depositors.
Writing of the merits of this feature
of school work, Mr. Thlry well says:
"The great object of education Is the
enlargement of the mental powers and
final results In the character. Unless
school life makes pupils morally better,
stronger and more wisely qualified to
successfully share in uwaltlng activ
ities, It Is unworthy of tho name. To
a stranger about to become Us citizen,
a country reveals its laws, customs and
all else of established character and
essential to the exercise and fullest In
tegrity of citizenship. To this know),
edgo the stranger ha3 an acknowl
edged claim. The world Is new to a
child. He 1ms entered the 111 st stages
of cltlzensh'p, and is entitled to con
stant, safe and wisest guidance and
Instruction until he reaches Independ
ence at maturity. To permit, not to
say, require, him to find his way by ex
perimentation, the sowing of wild oats,
obtaining knowledgo of the devil's
weapons to fight evil this Is the refine
ment of cruelty, It Is a crime. A civil
ization w.hlch leaves tho young to
choose their own course and pursue It
at will Is yet primitive. A child is en
titled to know what longer observation
hns tnujht older people. Tho lessons
of experience, what laws of conduct
lead to greatest welfare, what physical
laws determine health, what natural
laws conserve security, what civil and
political laws protect his person and
promote his social happiness, what
economic laws govern tho ptoductlon
of value, whatever of law and truth
that Is essential to his Intellectual,
moral and physical weir being theso
he has a right to know Ho is, there
tore, cntltleJ to discipline, restraint,
caution, guidance ami control.for 'there
by his second untitle of habit Is created.
Mora specifically, he Is entitled to
know the value of frugality and to bo
suitably trained In Its practical exer
cise." Mr. Thlry likes the pilnclple of thu
law lately cnarted in Belgium, whore
by every child born In designated local
ities, after being officially registered,
has a hank nrcnunt opened In Its name
with the savings bank. The authorities
dcppslt one franc to the credit of tho
child and pass tho bank book, to the
parents, who may add to, but not with
draw from, the account during the life
of the child. Tho accrued Interest is the
property of the young deposilur. While
this kind of a law Is not feasible In
tho United Stntes, the same result Is
accomplished by means of the school
savings fund, and those who are In
troducing this pi. ict leal element into
public school woik arc entitled to gen
erous praise.
Tammany's position Is for tho antl
prlze lighting law but against its enforcement.
Room at the Top,
The Pennsylvania Railroad company
not only Is the largest Institution of
Its kind In the world and tho most
Intelligent and liberally conducted, but
It Is also one of the most effective
business object lessons with range of
the public's vision. The kind of men
whom It employs in places of re
sponsibility, tho kind of service which
It exacts from them and tho kind of
tewards which It bestows upon ex
ceptional merit all are worthy of pub
lic study and all have a far-reaching
Influence for good upon the commercial
life of our time. The Pennsylvania
railroad company Is quietly but surely I
entrenching the merit system in num
erous directions where, but for Its ex
emplary lnlluence, the demoralizing
system of pulls and steals would con
tinue unchallenged.
The latest Instance of the Pennsyl
vania Railroad company's practical ap
preciation of merit w-hen conspicuously
displayed by one of Its employes was
supplied by tho selection of Alexander
Johnson Cassatt to succeed the late
Frank Thomson ns president of tho
road. Mr. Thomson had worked his
way up In the company's service from
the position of an errand boy; Mr.
Cassatt. having had the advantage of
a technical education, began relatively
somewhat higher, as a rodman on the
surveying corps. But both revealed In
their successive respective positions, In
addition to the personal virtues which
this company requires of all Its em
ployes, a certain distinctive genius
for management; and the consequence
was that both rose from plane to plane
Justnboutasfast as opportunities offer
ed, There was no other pull about It,
either, than tho pull of commanding fit
ness. They did so well what they
had to do, In position after position,
that their promotion became from the
company's standpoint a business neces
sity. They made room at the top.
Mr. Cassatt, perhaps better than any
other railroad manager now living,
comblneD theoretical with practical
knowledge. As a civil and mechanical
engineer he knows tho formulae of rail
roading and as a man who has "been
through tho mill" ho knows thoroughly
Its business aspects. Ho is peculiarly
competent to bound the business on
nil sides, and that Is exactly why,
among the hundreds of ambitious rail
way men In the United States aspiring
for promotion, ho in particular was
chosen to fill the most Influential and
honorable executive office In American
railroading. Some persons say and
Imagine they believe that the day of
Individualism is over; that men no
loncer advance by virtue of their own
qualities, but adventitiously, through
luck or borrowed Influence. Some men
may bo helped by luck and others by
pull; but if you study the great suc
cesses you will find back of all luck
and pull the Indispensable factor of
personality. There Is room at the top
In abundance for those honestly cap
able of filling It; for the simple reason
that they make room there.
The number of congressmen who
were "for Henderson all along" doubt
less come3 to the Iowan ns a revela
tion. Nicaragua Canal Progress.
The report of the Walker commission
which has recently completed Us inves
tigation of the Nicaragua canal con
tains two estimates of the cost of tho
work remaining to bo done on this
canal. Admiral Walker, the chairman
of tho commission, nnd Professor
Haupt calculato that $118,113,790 will bo
required; and Colonel Hnlns, the third
member, computes the sum at $131,818,
308. Inasmuch as the Ludlow commis
sion's estimate was In the same neigh
borhoodnamely, $133,472,593 It would
appear a reasonable expectation that
tho canal could bo built for $150,000,000.
But even though tho excess of actual
over estimated expenses, which has al
ways to be allowed for In enterprises of
this magnitude, should carry the total
up to $200,000,000, publlo opinion would
still sanction the outlay.
Something, of course, remains for the
new commission, which the president
has appointed under tho authority
of the last congress, to do in tho way
of revising theso estimates and re-can-vasslng
with care nnd detail all the
engineering features of the work; nnd
there Is also need of an expert opinion
as to tho comparative advantages and
disadvantages of the Panama project,
which contrary to tho general supposi
tion has not yet been abandoned. But
from tho layman's standpoint thoro
would seem to lift the greater need Just
now of an Impartial and comprehenstvo
estimate of tho probable receipts of a
trans-Isthmian canal, whether built at
Greytown or at Panama. While at
best this could only be conjectural and
subject to material modification by the
Intervention of unforeseen contingen
cies, yet the Importance of having even
a conjoclurnl estimate, If made con
scientiously after thorough digestion of
nil available data, is very manifest,
The canal may cost ono hundred mil
lions or It may cost twice that sum,
but tho essential point Is, what Income
would It produce?
Convinced as thn American people
are that the canal has become, so far
ns their naval and strategic Interests
nro concerned, a national necessity,
they nro willing to vole tho money for
Us construction, be tho cost under or
above the avciage of tho available es
timates. This does not imply that they
arc reckless with their money or that
they underrate tho necessity of having
adequate data before going ahead; it
only Implies that they are unwilling to
let a dlffcicnco of opinion of a quarter
or a third as to the necessary expense
opernto to defeat the project entirely.
Hut having extinguished from their
minds all doubt n3 to the canal's neces
sity, they are now chiefly Interested In
ascertaining an approximate Idea of
tho canal's likelihood to produce
revenue. Hiving located the factor of
cost within the limit of their ability to
pay, they want now to locato the pos
sibilities of enrnlng a commercial re
turn from the Investment, aside from
the canal's value In naval strategy.
To this subject the new commission
is expected to give great attention.
There Is a growing sentiment c6m
mendatory of General Otis for his re
fusal to engage friendly Filipinos as
Boldleis In tho United States army.
While tho Malay might under ceitaln
conditions be madu useful In this way,
It Is evident that the time has not yet
anived. Experience has shonn that
the average Filipino with warlike In
stincts Is like a rattlesnake, easier to
handle when his fangs have been ex
ti acted. Good Filipinos who wish to
serve the nation should bo content to
carry water for a few months longer
and allow tho white soldiers to do tho
shooting.
It Is to bo hoped that General Gomez
will carry out his announced intention
of visiting tho United States. He has
his faults but there is enough of honor
and horse sense In him to make him
worthy of the respect which tho Cubans
Just now appear to be disinclined to
show him.
It Is a good sign that General Otis
takes no chances of being caught with
his powder moist. Tho use of diplo
macy on Aguinaldo will be all the moro
effective for re-enforcement by well
prlmed guns.
