LEST WE FORGET
The following item appeared in this column in Febniary last, but as noth¬ ing bas been done about it, it seems to be worth repeating.
"One of the propositions which sboold engage tbe attention of tbe next Village Board is the matter of a {Mroper platform at the railroad station.
On account of the curb, all trains going east have sucb a distance be¬ tween tbe ground and the first step, tbat it is an inconvenience or worse, to get on or off.
It would mean posaibly a little ex¬ pense to the Rsiiroad Company, but it can be easily done, if tbe proper ordera are given to the proper persons."
CHANGES IN POLITICS.
Among the former Repabiicans who had strayed from the folcT and went over to the "Progressives" and have now returned to their first love was noted the smiling face of Charles C. Moore at the Republican primaries Monday evening. Mr. Moore has al¬ ways been a Republican at heart, and the Preferential primary brought him back to tbe fold.
The primary rules provided that to vote a man must express his intention of voting tbe Repablican ticket at the Fail election, and as no one would queation Mr. Moore's good faitb, he will undoubtedly caat a straight ticket under tbe eagle and ballot box in No¬ vember next.

Special School Laws
W. C.   Mepham,   District Superin¬ tendent, is sending the following   not¬ ice regarding changes in school laws: SPECIAL NOTICE.
During tbe past winter two import¬ ant chsnges have been made in the ed ncation law and this circular is pre¬ sented to you that you may become acquainted with these changes and be prepared to aid tbe school autboritiea in complying with tbe statutes for the best interesU of the children and the commanity.
First:—All children between the ages of eight and fourteen and all tbose between the ages of fourteen and sixteen not regularly employed and holding a school record certicfiate, who are in proper physical and menUl condition, will be required to attend school every day that school-ia-in ses¬ sion during the year. Heretofore tlie compulsory education law has extend¬ ed only from October first to June flrst, wbile now it is to extend over the en¬ tire year.
Second:—Kvery pupil attending pub¬ lic school should present eacb year to tbe principal, a physician's certificate showing the physical condition of tbe child. The examination of tbe child is to be made by the physician within thirty days prior to the presenUtion of the certificate to tbe principal.
If tbe child does not bave a certifi¬ cate to give, it is then the duty of tlie medical examiner employed by tbe school board, to make the necessary examination of the child, and if any pbysicsl defects are fourid they sball be reported lu tbe parent by tbe prin¬ cipal. It is expected that eneb parent receiving sucb notice of physical de- fecU will help by furnishing, if possi¬ ble, relief for tbe condition.
At first it may appear that much is required by oar scbools, bot upon re¬ flection you will agree that the sUte is dding a noble work in protecting it¬ self by requiring the edacation of iU future citizens, and in protecting your

To the Editor :-
Please let me say a word of appreci¬ ation for the manner in which tbe Long | Village Board of Trustees to' pass rag' Island Railroad Company has met the | nlationa for the Fire Council, thia body needs at tbe Freeport station. The ; being self-governing according to law. subway has been s place to be avoided, | A ^uliar thing aboot this is that tbo instead of a convenience for the pass- j ftrat brash fire after the Board paased engers, because of its unsanitary con- this amended ordinance, was the prop- dition. It ia almost impossible to be-1 «rty leased by the village from tbe lieve tbat in this village tbere are I city of New York, at wbich time Hose tbose that could be so indilTerent to I 1 was also called, the welfare of children, and adulte.
The calling out of a hose wagon on Wednesday evening calla to mind an ordinance once passed by the Fire Council. Over a year ago tbe Cbuncil drafted an ordinance, through Coun¬ selor Edwards, who was then acting as Counael to that body, making it com¬ pulsory that brush be cut at certain times and making it a punishable offense to have a brash flre. The ord- I inance was passed by the Village Board with the proviso thst the Coancil or Chief most inspect every plot of tbis kind and notify the owner before ac¬ tion could be Uken, bat making no al¬ lowance for paying for this inspection or tbe time of the men making it. The Council refused the ordinance in this form, and although it is on the books at the present time as a village ordinance it cannot be enforced, for no where can be found authority   for the
to defile that subway.
