forgetting what they had said at the pre-
vious meetings.
The above is the official record of the
board on momentous questions and the
Tribune man makes it out to be great
one. Verify, the man of imagination,
having seen a drop of water, can con-
ceive of rivers and oceans.
Because paper annoys a man or
wounds his feelings BY giving him away
for the benefit of the public is no reason
why he should refuse to greet the editor
or his friends when they chance to meet
| on the street. A sort of brotherly love
should prompt lis to dlspel all coldness
between men, and when we meet, to
rest our heads affectionately on each
others bosoms as we used to do.

One of the excuses given by the mem
bers of the school board who want to
pass the resolution binding teachers to
adhere to the truth when they speak of
their sssupenor officers" is to the effect
that the teachers should be models of
excellence to the pupils. Now, while
these members of the board are in the
business of moulding models, why not
commence, on themselves We already
know of several changes in their make
up which could be made to advantage.
The congressional phrase, "Where
was at. !" ought naturally to be very
popular with men who forget what they
I did week or two before.
There is something in educational
work besides mere .'business." Even so
economical body as the state legislature
biennially finds it necessary to appro-
pirate large sums of money for the pur-

imparting knowledge to the young. One
cannot know how to run school with
out long study.
The new members, according to the
Tribune's ultimation, de not propose to
submit meekly to the dictates of the old
regime. In this respect thee article is
true, for if we are to judge from appear

own way about everything, even to the
control Of, free speech on the part of
the teachers whom they employ. It has
even caused us to wonder why they don't
endeavor to muzzle the press.

maintain their standing, says the Tribune
reporter, and yet Prof. Kiehle in his an
nual reports commends the work done
here and Prof. Soaring strengthens this
view by stating that the pupils of the

When you can't get what you want
from a paper, start another. There il

With paper you will be surprised t
notice how the public will be as clay il
your hands, capable of being moulded

According to the versatile and imagi

the policy of old board in several impor
tant particulars. As near as we can az
rive at the true inwardness of this new
movement it seems to be to make th,
people believe that there has been some
thing egregiously wrong about the man
agement of the schools in the past ane

revolution against existing affairs ant

who might bestride our narrow spher,
