If Burchard's record in office Qike Miss
Sweet's) is unexceptionable, then his removal
traverses the whole question of the validity
of the law relating to the tenure of Office
The News.
Mr. Burchard has the presumption of an
entire term Of service-fve years-satisfac-
torily completed, and the Endorsement of a
denomination and confirmation. It is also in
his favor that no hint of his unftness, or that
he was improperly connected with the office,
was heard until a Democratic administration
came in. A Democratic Director of the Mint
was not improperly connected with five
successive Republican administrations, but a
Republican director is found to be "improp-
erly connected" with a Democratic admins
tration before the expiration of four months.

THE ruling of Judge Hord, in the case of
Mr.. Michener against the principal of the
Shelbyville schools for damages caused by
the exclusion from the room, under school
rules, of the plaintiffs little daughter, on a
very cold morning, because she was few mo-
ments tardy, can hardly fail of wholesome
effect on the tendency of our school system
to harden into set Of Procrustean processes,
III which there can never be any adaptation,
either to the individual qualities and needs Of
a pupil, or to an unexpected change of condi-
tions. Any system must be maintained by
rule; but no system can make its rules so alb
solute as to exclude all alleviation without
mixing good deal of mischief with its bene
fits. 1t is this tendency in our criminal juris
prudence that defeats so many righteous con-
victions by such trivial technicalities as that
which recently set free for time with sec
ond chance of escape, the Chicago election
questioned The Shelbyville case is notice to
all other teachers of the State that they must
use little judgment in applying their disci-
pline. 1t is warning that childs condi-
ton may be such that the rigid enforcement
of rule will make it sick, or, as in the case
of Mr.. Micheners daughter, expose it tosuch
inclemency of weather as may seriously injure
it. There must be little discretion in the
teacher, as we'll as stern fidelity to school reg
ulations. We think the admonition is needed.
Our school system, admirable as it is, needs
an occasional infusion Of elastic adaptation to
especial conditions and individual needs, and
the more frequent and judicious these are, the
greater will be the annual product of benefit
to the pupils that have been trained by it, In
other words, the Procrustean bed must be ad-
Unstable, in some measure, like an invalid's
chair,

THE most wide-awake and progressive of the
county superintendent were present at the
meeting Of the convention through Monday
and Tuesday. Taken as a whole, they are a
body of unusually intelligent and efficient
looking educators. The cream of the profes
sion are supposed to graduate from the teach
er's platform as either rsuperintendents or book
agents, and they are competent to watch and
act as check on each other.
The usual mistake of this profession,
when assembled in council, is to
make the programme too long for the time
and to fix no limit to the discussion, and the
present convention set no precedent for break
ing this custom. The man who wanted to
hear the sound of his own voice, who did not
agree with the last speaker, or who could not
appreciate the difference between State con-
vention and schoolhouse debating society,
was on hand, and was not promptly squelched
by the chair as he should have been The
result was that such an important topic as
''the county superintendent work in the
school-room' was substantially crowded off the
programme, while such trivial topics as "the
reappointed superintendent" 'the newly-ap-
pointed superintendent" and the 'ex-superin-
tendent' had better have had no place on the
programme. A large responsibility rests upon
the county superintendent of the State.
They examine and license the teachers Of the
State, using the questions prepared from
month to month by the State Board of Educa
ton. They are supposed to visit every school
in their county, and advise with the teachers
and the local school officers. They hold
county and township meetings for
the instruction Of the teachers, and
are a medium of communication be-
tween the State Superintendent and the
subordinate school officers of the State. Both
they and the State Superintendent where
competent and efficient school officers, should
hold the office for long term, so that the
difficult work of harmonizing the school
studies in the different counties, and securing
the most education for the least money, will
not be obstructed by unnecessary change. 1t
is crejitable to the school interest Of the
State, as well as to the county superintend
ents, that so many of them have assembled
for mutual conference and advice

THE New York Times says:

"The suspension of Mr.. H. C. Burchard as
Director of the Mint took place after he had re-
fused to resign on request of the Secretary of
the Treasury. His letter Of refusal is pub
lished in our Washington dispatches this
morning. On the facts as there presented Mr..
Burchards course is justifable. He alleges
that no cause was given for the change except
that the nature of his duties made it desirable
that the Secretary should select the Director

lecture, that she once had an enthusiastic vision
of what woman could do to promote peace.
Since then she has become aware that the sell
