 TIE trouble between the board of edu- cation and the district committee ap- pears to have been caused by the efforts of both bodies to do what they con sidered for the best interests of the peo- pie of Waterbury. Chairman Mulcahy and his confreres of the board of educa- tion are determined to raise the stand ard of the schools, and to do it have seen fit to go abroad for teachers. They fortify themselves in their position by able arguments, not the least of which is that positions have been provided for all Waterbury ladies who passed the ex- animation, except one who does not care to teach. There is no avail able teacher in the city to fill Miss Whiton's place. On the other hand the members of the district committee call attention to the fact that seventeen ladies have recently been graduated from the High school, most of whom are anxious to take the examination for teachers certificates. Under the cir Ecumstances it might be well to withhold judgment until after the examinations have been held. And it should be borne in mind that not every person of good education is fitted to become teacher. To be a successful educator requires qualifications that nature alone can endow.

 THERE was no police court this morn. ing, which is indeed remarkable, every thing considered. What with base ball game, 8 tug-of-war tournament and the the absence of brawls yesterday is some thing of which Waterbury may be proud The experience is novel, too. The court officials this morning, could hardly be- lieve their eyes.
 
 AN observing Waterbury barber says that there's not half the danger in being shaved from the public cups in shop al in being brushed with public brush He says that half the badness in tho world is by the indiscriminate use oi brushes in barber shops. When a bar Der brushes mans hair whose scalp ii diseased, and uses the same brush on healthy head, what can you expect This is why so few women are bald They seldom go to barber shops.
 No man is acquitted of his obligation to pay debt because the claim agalns him is outlawed. After a debt is out lawed the law declares, not that tn, debt is cancelled, but, that the credito can no longer avail himself of the ma chinerY of the law to collect it. Tn, honor and faith of the debtor are in nt wise discharged or the moral obligation to pay, which even increases with tn, lapse of time. An exchange seriousl! proposes to do away entirely with lega methods of collecting debts, and there i much to be said in favor of the plan. I would at least place men on thei honor. Mere wealth without characte would no longer be passport to exten sive credit, and it would place practi cal premium upon integrity.
