killed and 1326 injured at railway crossings in the Unifed States The addition of one or perhaps two to the currant years list of fatalities of this nature as a result of the Van Cortlandt accident does little to swell the total ta But this latest mangling occurred directly before the jltys eyes It occurred in the shocked presence of Hundreds of onlookers It accentuates more strongly than general figures can possibly do the constant I menace to life and limb of the deadly grade crossing In the railway reports the victims of these fatalities ate set down as mostly trespassers and others Oft the 824 slain In 1902 only three were passengers In I Ifrd It Is the railways which are the real trespassers i in granting them franchises the State did not alienate I tiC publics right of safe passage across their lines Whether the immediate responsibility for the Van iCortlandt tragedy lay with the engineer or the Co chauffeur is not material in view of the fact that the flindamental cause of the blame was the policy of economy which continued a grade crossing at this ftttjuented point Alarm bells and flagmen are at best uncertain safeguards New York has lagged behind the nearby Jersey titles in providing security against this form of danger I Ijy abolishing tl cause The Pennsylvania and Lacka I Monna lines are elevated through Newark The Lacka svannas tracks through the Oranges will be depressed I within a year and every vestige of risk to vehicle and i I pedestrian eliminated The Van Cortlandt tragedy should do for New York I what a more sagadous public sentiment has done

engaged In a process which might be described as that of making face at each oilier The friction developed In that period of iinploipantnosi will very possibly be Intensified by the report of Comptroller Grouts export examiner Mm Mathilda 6oflln Ford on the subject of special courses and their I supervisors In the elementary schools It will be un 1 tortunate for trio public Interest If the renewed hard I feeling shall go so far as to prevent on the part of tho ip citys educational fathers a very Intelligent consideration of the points urged by Mrs Ford 1 It Isto be notml Unit the Comptrollers expert dose not advocate tho omission of the public school courses I in vocal music physical culture or manual training 3lio Insists merely that these branches of study are over supervised to the embarrassment of regular teachers and rn to tho it unnecessary cost about 350000 per year of the I city In plain words Mm Fords Idea Is thnt too many tI extra bosses arc marring the sprclnl rouoe err otll by 4 crowding for results at the expense of ordinary work In the three Hs With essential Initiatory Instruction from directors and competent principals the regular I teachers should bo able to conduct the special work particularly If the efforts shall cease to expand plnln i I flowing classes into schema of expert dressmaking and applied design I 1 While the city vacation

ncalnnt a girl who cancelled her engagement to marry him for 10000 for breach of promts Too many girls arc free with the ffeotlotn of men he declared They become engaged In order to have a good lime end after they the of the novelty they break the engagement Mcanwhlli the men sincere themselves and beHev fog the girls sincere flare made prep rations to be married They can do nothing they have no protection Mca are deterred from breaking en gagnments by the rear of breach ol promise suits There no reason why the girls should not he withheld from jilting men by the same reason Theoretically this seemi like very excellent I reasoning but it uat be remembered thst while a young woman nave In rare Inntiuice cutters pecuniary I damage from the breaking of the engagement the rame breach confers a corresponding degree of nnanclal Immunity on the young man Therefore whatever the Injury to hll pride the wrench to his heart strings JiltIng him II a benefit tether than an InJury to his pocket nnd therefore does I not entitle hIm to pecuniary damages i which are all that the law recognize or II able to confer It Is a peculiar fact about an engaged man that whit there may be many momenta during his engagement which bring with them grave misgivings al to the wisdom of his final rtiolce the doubts disappear at once 1f the object of his vacillating devotion take It Into her head to jilt him and she becomes the most doslrnbl of earthly things However few men hare been jilted since the world began who did not learn In late life thAt they have moro often cause for gratitude to the woman who refuses than to her wfta accept them To a woman an engagement even though stripped of romantic Illusions I Is legitimately enough a cause for rejoicing for to her It Is at once an emancipation and a guarantee of support for life And the breaking of an engagemon Is Just AI properly a distinct financial KTlevanoo and one for which she Is entitled to suelc rflllreee In the courts
