Our Overcrowded Borough Schools.
Our borough schools opened on Mon-
day with an enrollment of 226 pupils,
and there will be from 40 to 50 more to
enroll as the term advances, providing
they can find room. Principal Saylor
informs us that two of the Primary
are so crowded now that there |
is not seating room for all of the pupils.

son for such a state of affairs to exist.
What are we to do? Are some of the
pupils to be compelled to stand, or are |
they to be kept at home and deprived |
of the schooling which is their right by |
law?
What this town needs is a new school
building, and it is a burning shame that |
a suitable building, was not erected |
several years ago, instead of re-|
bungling the old bungled apology of |
a school house that has been astanding |
disgrace to our town for the last ten
years. “But a new building costs mon-
ey,” is the howl that is always set up, |
and it is set up by some people who
ought to be ashamed to make use of |
such lame excuses. What if it will |
cost money? About everything else!
costs money, these days, even down to
I salvation, which is supposed to be free.
| The educational facilities of the rising |
generation have ne right to be slighted
[ just because it costs money to build
| good school houses. Ignorance costs
too, and nine-tenths of the |
| money the people have to pay to main-
tain penal institutions, can be attribu-
ited to the large number of illiterate |
persons among the criminal class.
Money spent for a substantial ten or
| twelve-room building in this
| town would be money well spent. That
{ is what we need, for the town is grow-
| ing, and if it is necessary to bond the
| town in order to erect a suitable build-
| ing, then let the town be bonded. That |
is what they do in many towns more |
{ progressive than this, and where peo-
ple are at least as smart as they are |
| here. Bonding a town isn’t the terri-
| ble thing some people suppose. Notown |
can thrive much by being miserly and
{afraid of going into debt. Improve-
ments cost money, of course, but in |
the end they pay an hundred fold.
Nome of our citizens say: “Why not
take some of the pupils out of the Pri-
mary rooms and put them into the oth- |
er rooms, for
them?” It does probably not occur to
these people that we have a system of
| graded schools; and that if their sug-

The Result of Dingleyism.
A Chicago dispatch gays that a com-
pany of German capitalists and steel
manufacturers has bought a tract of
land from the Pullman company, just
outside of the limits of Pullman, and is
about to erect there an immense steel
plant covering about 20 acres.
This German company holds some
very valuable patents, and prior to the
enactment of the Dingley law was do-
ing a good business in Germany. But
the new tariff, designed to protect the
American manufacturers and encour-
age American labor, has brought this
great (terman institution to the United
States. It will employ at the outset
500 men, and as soon as the buildings
already planned are completed it is ex-
pected that the full working force will’
| be between 2,000 and 3,000 men,
