In artlolea published In Tub Sim from
Umtto time during the past Mx woaks th.re
hu bean nn effort to show that the school
yUm o( Nw York city Is not only lnad.nuato
4P to the needs of eo grout a community ond In
f ierlor to if hat should naturally be ezpeoted In
A city ot such croat wealth, but that it Is
radically bod In Us theories ol Instruction and
Its sanitary accomodations. Guarsos ol this
nature were not made loosely. Not a word
naa said until alter over a month ot patient
investigation irom school to sohool had boon
made, and within the put few weeks thero
i have been several proofs brought to boar to
substantiate the assertions of tuo first articles.
It eannot bo said too often or too em
phatically that tho people who are Inter
ested In furnishing to New York a sohool systotn
that shall comport with the dlcnlty and com
manding position ot the city should pay per
sonal visits to tho schools, not on exhibition
days, but during the regular working hours.
Mo intelligent, eandld person oould come away
from suoh a visit without, first, a deep convic
tion that the system is radically wrong and tho
accommodations wretchsd beyond descrip
tion: and second, without feeling that every
thing should be done that can bo dono to rem
edy matters. In this artlclo will bo found a
detailed aocount of the sohools In tho Twenty
second ward, whoro the population Is of a very
diverse charooter. In some portions ot the
ward the people live ontlrely In typical tono
ment houses, and in othor portions there ore
no buildings but those devoted to private fami
lies. In this ward, as will be soon from the
reports that follow, are to bo found all tho evil
features that have been complained of and set
forth in the accounts of schools lying in other
quarters of the town.
The Twenty-second word la comparatively
regular in shape Its oastern boundary is
Blzth avenue, from Fortieth street to the I'ork,
and then tho line of the Park is tollowod along
fifty-ninth street and Eighth avenue to Eighty
seventy streot. Eighty-seventh and Fortieth
streets mark tho northern and southern boun
daries rospeotivoly, and the western limit is
the Hudson Elvor. In It are eight primary de
partments ot grammar schools and ono lndi-
. Yldaal primary school.
' Grammar School No. 17 is at 317 West Forty-
seventh street. Tho prinoloal of the primary
department is Mrs. Mary E. McCloskey. She
baa charge of twenty-two classes, for the ac
commodation of which nlnoteon class rooms
are at her disposal Throe closres, therefore,
have to bo accommodated every day In tho
general assembly room, and they aro separated
from each other by the conventional green cur
tain. This building. If devotod to a normal
number of scholars, might boratod high among
the sohool structures of this city. Tho sani
tary arrangements aro all of a modern stylo, and
such apparatus as Is in use Is found
effective. This means that a reason
able degree of vontllntlon Is secured,
and that no offensive odors aro perceptible
from the closets. Nevertheless, the ovororowd
Ing of the rooms makes the atmosphere, after
an hour's use ezcoodlngly bad for both pupils
and teachers. In some of the rooms there Is
occasional neod ol gaslight, but on the wholo
the studios are pursued by natural light. The
furniture Is of tho old-fashioned kind, and con
sists of undivided benches. Thoy are an tm
Srovement over somo of the bonches found in
le down-town schools, inasmuch as there Is a
rack at the back of each bench which serves as
a kind of embryonic desk. The play grounds,
strango to say, aro open to the air. Following
is a table showing the attendance in the classes
of each grade with the corresponding soatlng

Mrs. McCloskey has an idoa of her own in
regard to tno sanitary accommodation of tho
schools. "Tho difficulty lios." sho said, not
in tbo schools, but in tho homos. Whoa u child
comes to school after a breakfast of a cup of ten
and a crust ol broad, poor sanitation may do It
much harm, but no amount ol improved up
paratus can do It much good."
At No. 523 West Forty-fourth street Is Gram
mar School No. 51. Miss Margaret Walsh is
firlnclpal of tha primary department. She has
wenty-oneclassrsnnd eighteen rooms, and Is,
therefore, compelled to nut three classes sb
usual in the assombly room with green cur
tains. This building has an almost entirely
nnobstructod command ot natural light, so that
gas Is never used in any of the rooms. The
J sanitary arrangements are the best that can be
had under the old stylo ot sink drainage, and
Miss Walsh has loutid nothing to complain of
With respect to it: but, ns has boen reported In

Miss Hanaway has found that the closets emit
disagreeable odors at times, but whonever this

Is an old private house, shnbby both Itmldo and

and tho closet nrrangomonts nro nothing loss

iormcrly locatod In School No. U7, t 225 West
orty-flrst street. At tho close of tho vacation,
when they came to resumo their plncos in that
building, they found them occupied by othor
classes and teachors. and thoy woro, theroforo.
obliged to go into this private hnusn. Thoro Is
a large colored population In tho district, and
this school Is designed for its accommodation.
MisB Thompson ami her assistants aro ail

and thnt n ncgatlvo one. In the building.
Tho play ground, It Is true. Is out of doors, but
the spaco allowed Tor It Ib hardly as largo a

third and fourth aro accommodated by them

sixteen classes and twolvo class rooms to ac

situated that It docs not require the use of
artificial light Tho sanitary arrangements
are abominubly bad. Ono class room of tho
fifth grado Is situated directlv between tno
closets, from which the stench Is nt times un
endurable Tho agents ol tho Board have
mndo frequent attompts to correct thlsovll
but thus far havo accomplished nothing. Tho
only plujground connectod with the building
is n room ontlrely under cover, not morn than
sixty by thirty foot in dimensions, in which tho
thousand girls of both departments of tho
school hnvo to find their recreation.
This consists of standing by turns on
a line and talking to each other
without moving any but n small portion of tho
body. Tho building Itself soems to bo In good
condition. Following is the record of avorago

Aisonia, Juno 21. Ever slnco the olectrlo
street railroad has been In operation great
difficulty has been experienced with the escap
ing current. By the system adopted horo the
current is conveyed to the motors from the
centjnl plant by a system of overhead wires.
Fronj tho motor tho cunont passes through
tho Tbeels to the rails, and is supposed to re
turn to tho plant again. But It does not all of
it 3horo Is a big quantity oscaplng all the
tlmo,varylngIn Intonsity according to whethor
tbe cars aro running light and on a levol
stroUh of track, or whothor thoy are heavily
loaded or going up somo of tho steep grados,
of which thoro ore so oral on tho line. Tho
electricity escaping Into the ground affects tho
tolepoono system nnd ca jses n disagreenblo
nndnnnoylngburzingsound. Besides. It causes
tho drops to fall In the central ofllco. and no
way to remedy the difficulty has been found.
Last week Mr. C. D. Warner, a local eloc
triclnn.determlnod to tOBt the powor of the os
caplrg current. A wire was grounded near the
electric plant in Dorby. no connection being
mndo with tho track, nnd wns then run Into his
oQlcoln Ansonla. some three miles away. Horo
it wat tonnected v Ith the gas pipe nt Ids desk.
The vire was cut, and a Maxim incandescent
lamp wns attached to tho ends. Tho lamp was
of ill ty.flve volts, or 10-candlo powor. Tho car
bon nt once began tu glow, and as a car passed
along Main stroot in front of his ofllco, tho
lamp gno forth aelonr light ns strong as if on
a regular light wire. As the car rolled fur
ther nnd furthor away tho light grew dim, but
when tho grado at tha foot of tho Dorby Hill
was reached, and tbo motor took more of tho
current from the wire, the lamp again shono
forth ts brightly us over. An Edison lamp was
also attached, and though this required 120
voltstocausoaregulatlonllght.lt showed uu
clearly, and gave forth light enough to read by.
It remained forthoovor-presont small boy to
dlscowr a benefit In tho escaping oloctriolty.
Not far from tho street whoro tho tracks nre
laid nns tho Naugntuck lilvor. In this tbo
bos &ro wont to batho. On Saturday, whon
the youngsters meet In swimming, thoy wore
nstonkhed at the peculiar sensation they ex
porlercod. It was not at all disagreeable. On
the contrary it was pleasurable though ut
tlmossome of the boys would glvo n jump nnd
a yell as though thoy had stopped on a ploco of
glass ind out tholr feet. Tbo feeling was so
pleasant thnt some of thorn remained in the
watcrfor hours, nnd only came out when bun-
f:er forced them to go homo for suppor. It Is
enrntil by experiment that the sensations
wore faueod by the electricity, and It Is pro
posed py tho shrewd Ynnkcosof this monoy

A $1S a week bookkeeper Miuntorod along;
the promenade path on the Fifth avonno sldo
of Central Fork on Saturday aftornoon with his
wife and a frlond at hlssldo. Theylookod
wistfully at tho carrlagon and hansom cabs
that rolled along toward tho obelisk.
"I wish wo could afford that luxury," tho
bookkoopor said ratlior sadly. "A drlvo
through those shady paths would bo dollght
tul to-day,"
"Why don't you enjoy It," his frlond said,
" you oan do It tor n quarter a head."
" How ?" exelalmod tho bookkoopor In a tono
of glad surprise.
"How,"retortodhls frlond. "Whytakoono
ot theso Fark oarrlages. that's how," said his
friend, pointing to one of tho six-seated car
riages that roltod by just then with a lot of
bright children and their nurses aboard. The
bookkeeper's faco showed that ho had made a
very pleasant discovery whon his friend told
him ho oould make an entire circuit of tho
Park for a quarter. Ho had novor known tho
faot before although he had lived In tho town
for twonty yoars. Thoro aro hundreds of men
and womon who visit tho Park for an airing
that aro In ooual Ignoranco of this ndvantago
ono which tho Park Commissioners Intro
duced somo time ngo oxprossly for the accom
modation of tlioso who like riding, but who
havon't the means to hlro a barouche or a han
som cab.
Th drlvo Is a docldedly wolcomo bit of sum
mer recreation for those who havo boen kopt
Imprisoned for hours in stuffy olllcos In tho hot
nnd crowded parts of tho big town. Tho car
riages aro comfortable couvoyuueos. Thoy
have threo rows of carpeted seats, and accom
modate six couples. Thoy muke a circuit nf
the Park, from Fifty-ninth street and Eighth
avenue, going west to 110th street, and roll
down tho oast drlt o. Four stops are mndo dur
ing the trip, and the passongers havo the privi
lege of getting out at any one of the stopping
filncos, remaining long onough to examine
htngs of intorost In tho vicinity, and gottlng
Into another Park currlago when It comes
along. Tho first stop Is at tho Musoum of
Natural History on tbe west sitlo of tho Park,
tho next at tho Mount tit, Vincent Casino, and
tho third nt the Metropolitan Musoum of Art
and tho Obelisk. Whon children nre taken along
with tho adults there Is a reduction of ten and
fifteen cents In tbe faro, according to the ngo
of the little passengor.
It is an agroeablo tact that tho trip Is tho
cheapest and most enjoyablo drlvo that can bo
obtained anywhere In the town. It Is onjoy
ablo at any timo, but it yields tho greatest
amount of porsonal gratification and recrea
tion on moonlight nights. Tho moonlight adds
a plcturosfiucnosti to the scenery that Is so
charming thnt carriage partlos made up of just
onough to fill one of the four-wlieelotl vohlclos
are one of the fonturesof theso summer nights.
Tho millionaire who rolls along In his own lux
uriant carriage doos not enjoy tho moonlight
effocts nnd the refreshing breezes moro thor
oughly than do these more oconomlcal excur
sionists. Bwoot odors fill tbo air from
tho blossoming bushos along tho drlvo
way. The delicious odor of now mown
hay Is waited on tho brcezo evory now
and thon. Pretty moonlight effects delight
the eye also. The big museum building and
the oarvod stono bridgos ami rustle arbors
bathed In tho sort light; tho illuminated Park
Casino, with its hundred of globed lights
twinkling through the treos; tho towering
obelisk outlined with a silver fringe against
th dark bluo sky ; tho big reservoir glistening
bonenth the stars are but a few of the specta
cles to be looked upon. The big Inko at such a
time, soon in tbe distance from the passing
carriage with Its rlDPllng surface, und dotted
nil over with the glimmering red lantornn ol
tho gondolas that dart hither and thither like
floating stars. Is a striking plcturo thut fastens
itself in tbo momory.
Tho carriago goes winding around through a
maze of treos und shrubbery nnd sweet sum
mer por fumes for one whole hour, and then
rolls up to tho starting point In fine stylo and
discharges its cargo of piensod passongors.
"Why. this is a perfectly delightful revela
tion." said a party of girls, who mado tho trip
for tbe first time last Sunday ovimlng. " Wo
must bring our aunt und nor family up from
the country somo time nnd show her that thero
are green fields and blossoms in tho town as
well as Interminable rows of brick and stono
nous fronts and hot sidewalks. It Is just llko
the country, I doclare."
