NEW MEMBERS OF SCHOOL BOAR0.

The appointments of Mayor Harrison
to I'LL the eight vacancies on the School
Board give gratifying proof of his per-
sOnal interest In the welfare of thr
schools and of his desire to raise the
standards Of service In the administra-
ton Of the most important trust under
the municipal government.
The purpose of the Mayor to respond
TO public sentiment In the matter Of
lifting the schools out of politics Is
clearly indicated by the personnel of
the four new members rs well M by the
retention of four members who have
demonstrated their usefulness AMI
their fitness for the work Of the board.
The new appointments not only repre-
sent the best elements of our citizen
ship but We're manifestly made with
intelligent regard for the needs of the
schools at this time. when radical de-
partures In school management are
about To he inaugurated.
While 1t Is no reflection upon the fit
ness and abilities OF those who We're
appointed that other citizens We're
urged 10 accept appointment 10 the
board 1t furnishes some idea of the
difficulties encountered by the Mayor
In responding to popular expectation In
school affairs. II has been said that
the great need of the schools Is the
active identification of the best repre-
sentative citizens with their manage
mpnt. Select the very best men In
the city for the School Board" say the
prominent educators who are constant
~ prescribing remedies for the defects
In our educational system.
But 1.-THE very best citizen evlnces
great reluctance to accept appointment
to these responsible trusts. He has i'm
portant business Interests that demand
his watchful care. Yet, M n matter of
fact. the reluctance of 'rhe very best
citizen 10 serve In such capacities may
Inc attributed Ia our system of school
management, which Is radically wrong.
No sooner Is n man appointed 10 rhc

THE SAFE OTIS ELEVATORS.

The accident to an elevator In an
apartment building In this city which
resulted In the death of u young wom-
an last week emphasizes the need for
greater precautions for the safety Of
all elevators. 1t IL not alone the large
Office buildings that need careful super
vision.
The accident last week. according to
the published reports, occurred In an
elevator In charge Of boy. The ma
chine did not respond to his efforts and
he stepped outside for some reason
ahead Of the passengers. Before the
young woman got out the elevator sud
denly shot upward, causing her death.
The fact that the car did not behave
properly Is evidence either that the boy
was not well trained to Its use or that
the elevator was In poor condition,
which would indicate inadequate ill.,
spectlon. The person In charge Of an
elevator ought never to lcav" his post
while passengers are inside the car.
An imperfectly trained hoy may not
always he expected to realize this, but
the owners Of elevators should, and
they ought to see that operators OF ears
are carefully instructed on all points
having to do with the safety Of pas.
sengers.
Two things are necessary to the
safety of elevators. One Is frequent
AMI competent Inspection TO see that
the mechanism is all In good working
order, the other Is well-trained opera
tors. 1t is the duty of the public au-
thorties to see thar both are provided
for all elevators in the city. Accidents
of the above description, and accidents
of all kinds, are avoided by those who
use the Otis elevators. rs the absolute
safety Of the Otis elevators was recent
ly demonstrated with great clearness

OF possibility. a bill for the extension

believed there was Doodle In the big
scheme. n portion of which could be
obtained by show of opposition.
Both these opposing parties are now
convinced Of their mistake. The idea
OF magnificent roadway running
