MUSIC IN THE SCHOOLS.

When the School Board employs a car
penter or plumber 1t does not require him
to use tools of its selection. but assumes
that he understands his business and
leaves him to do his work in his own way.
1t should have much confidence in its
teachers and supervisors as it has in the
mechanics and should permit them to use
their own methods of instruction and to
choose the apparatus they may think
necessary Either they are qualified to do
this they are not fit for the positions
they hold. They have spent their lives in
learning the art of teaching and in acquir-
ing the knowledge that they are expected
to impart to their pupils. They have skill
to be classed as educational experts the
least accomplished of them may be SO re-
garded in comparison with any member
of the board. The gentlemen composing
this body are not teachers; their knowl-
edge OF school matters is merely incident
al and theoretical. and their personal ac
quaintance with textbooks too slight to
justify them in setting UP their opinions
against those of the persons actually US
ing the works. or in debating what system
of instruction shall be adopted il any de-
partment. They employ superintendent
and supervisors who are supposed to be
competent to attend to the operations OF
the schools in every detail. If they are
not, il is the duty of the board to secure
persons better qualified for those posi-
tions. but in no case is it their duty to
assume e responsibility for these details

One Of the infections of public officers,
particularly elective officers, is the in1por-
tunities of people for money for unobjec-
tionabe objects. If they should yield to
all these people of excellent intentions they
would be impoverished Often these de-
mands for money upon candidates are ae-
compan;ed with limitations that their OPP
pcnents have been liberal. which is as much
as to say that if they are not it may re-
suit in their injury at the polls.
Some months ago the Journal suggested
that local political committees and candi-
dates could protect themselves against this
blackraailing of candidates by making an
agreement that all those who fmportune
candidates for money because they are cam
didates should be refused, ON the ground
that whatever contributions they had to
make had been placed In the hands of their
respective committees by agreement. But
IL candidates make use of the services of
those who are called ''heelers' to get NOM
nations, they should not make virtue Of
not rendering them some compensation.

These remarks are drawn out by the con-

herself dissatisfied with the progress made
by her pupils, her contention being that
the system she is obliged TO follow is utter
