Belialre Council Gets a Black Eye in a
Question Of Time
Marshal Darby, of Bellaire, showed mp
at Court at ST. Ciairsville Yesterday with
a member Of the School Bo'ri-Jas. 4.
Kelly, of the First National Bank. Mr
Kelly was not at all shaky on the time
question when he appeared before Judge
briggs. The dispenser Of justice heard the
case and acquitted Mr.. Kelly. Judge
briggs held tina. the City Council had no
right to pass ordinances regulating time
and said the Board OF Education had full
control over the school buiidings. In
other words Council received a black eye
and the Beard Of Education still runs On
fast time. Notwithstanding the decision
Of the case il does strike great many peO-
pie that the time or the school house
clock is no improvement on sun time.

Is wrong; because nepotism. in the

PUBLIC SCHOOL NEPoTIsM.
While the general assembly is
considering the question of public
school improvements and reforms,
it should give serious attention IT,
one needed reform which has not
been sufficiently discussed. We
refer TO the system Of nepotism
which obtains TO such a great de-
gree in the selection of school
teachers. In perhaps every coun
w in the state, certainly in many
OF the counties, this evil exists to
some extent. School directors look
after the welfare Of their kinfolk
and see that their brothers, sisters,
uephews, nie9es, cousins and aunt-
get positions as public school
teachers. in some school districts
the school directors parcel out
these favors, the niece of this one
getting one school, the nephew of
another director getting another
school and the aunt of the other
director coming in for an appoint
ment to another school. Tue sp-
plicant for the position of school
teacher who has the good fortune
TO have Il kind relative in the board
and that too frequently when the
qualifications OF the nonrelative
competitors are superior to those
of the favored member of the di-
rector's family,
There is no good reason why
thoroughly competent school teach
or should be debarred from an az.
pointment simply because he or
she is blood relation OF one of
the school directors. but it is I'M
fortunately the case thet in many
instances the claims of linship are
esteemed by directors superior to
those of literary ana scholarly at
tainmcnt. II is easy for the school
director WHO'S anxious to give one
or his family position as school
teacher to convince himself that
Cousin Mary or Nephew John is

Cruel Separation,

When a Chinese girl is married
she must wait four months before
stiquette allows her to pay her first
visit 10 her mother, but after this
initiatory call she may go to the
home of her parents at any time.
A writer relates n pathetic 10
stance connected with this marriag
cstum. q
A Chinese woman had on
daughte, an only child. of whom
she was passionately fond, and this
girl WAS married at the age OF six
teen. When the the first four
months were nearly past her moth
er's neighbor died, and rs death is
said to bring uncleanliness To those
associate with it, the brides visit
to her old home had to be delayed II
hundred days, lest she should be-
come contaminated.
Before this period had passed the
brides mother in-law died, and she
was obliged TO 60 into mourning
for three years. just before she
put off her mourning q son was
born TO her, and that made IL nee
essary that tho visit sbonld again
be delayed.
Meanwhile her mother, whose
heart grew more and more hungry
FOR her presence, became nervously
i'll md subject 10 halIuc inations,
under which she imagined she saw
her child entering the door. She
declared that she could distinctly
perceive her face, DISCERN every de
tail in her dress and hear the jingle
of her bangles.
ooh, my child, you have come!
she would exclaime, but when shs
clasped the vision she found ont,
empty air within Der arms.
At length the daughter, who had
all these years been but two miles
away, really came 10 visit bel
mother. The txo embraced each
other and wept aloud, aud there
