"Not the good thing we accomplish, But the better thing we plan;
Not achievement, but ideal, la tbe measure of tbe nan."
Mra Anton Beyrle has been serious¬ ly ill at her homa tbis week, bot is much improved at laat reports.
Onr people in tbe north of Merriek •re eopiplaining very generally of the diaabilittea under wbich their children anffer in the matter of edueation. Not only Washington but Merriek also aeems to b^ a place of "magnificent dis¬ tances." As the districts are now ar¬ ranged, cbildren in sight of one school are compelled, in g^e cases, to tiayel two miles to another. The results are bad. The children suffer directly in t>eing kept from school in bao weather and the State indirectly in the obstac¬ les which are presented to its ideal of popular education. Small children are kept at hume until absolutely compel¬ led by the law to attend. We sym¬ pathize with the parents here, but, as the result of this solicitude for their lit¬ tle ones, tbe children are "backward" usually and iinally leave school before tbey should and would, otherwise, be¬ canse they find themselves classed witb children younger than themselves. Sickly children are furnished With physician's statements which serve as readily accepted excuses for absence, bnt this is not giving the child a "sqoare deal." In some cases the sale of property has been beld op be- cibse of the distance to the schosl. People living along Camp Avenue are in the Smithville South District and Rooeevelt District. We believe that within a radius uf a half-mile as many as 60 scholars could be feund to attend a school aituated on Camp Ave. some¬ what west of Merrick Ave. thus mak¬ ing what is now a twenty-five minute walk or more, not ever ten. The Roosevelt District is now in need of added room. The Merrick people who pay school tax in Rooaevelt are asking why not have a school nearer home since tbey have the children to attend sneh a school if bnilt.    Yes, why not?
In some places conveyances are pro¬ vided for the acholara living at a dis¬ tance. We ouradves are not much in favor of the multiplication of school buildings in the country. We believe in a strohg central sehool where prop¬ er grading ia possible and more thor¬ ough work done as the children enjoy a better equipment whicb comes from co-operation. We say to our citizens: "If yon are not satisfied, kick. Veri¬ ly things come to him wbo kicks, end he that kicketh not, will be run over." So waga the world. A li'tle hint to the trustees, to the district superin¬ tendent, and to tbe authcrities at Al¬ bany who are in control of tbe matter thai ynu "want to know" will be listened to.
