The Board of Education

The first step toward effecting the reor-
r,ni,ation of the local public school system
which has been In effect directed by the law
was taken today when the Commissioners
following the nominations or Commissioned
Macfariand named seven persons TO consul
t1,te the new board of education. Inc
names of these trustees appeal 10 the ap
prevail of the people for their representative
character and for the evidence they aHofu
of the painstaking care with winch theS
were chosen. In general terms the seiec
tons leave virtually nothing to be DESIRED
and the board should prove capable Oh Or

is,ra,ion of the schools This board repre-
eents clearly defined public demand Inc
law creating it is the result of that demand
endorsed by Congress. 1t is to be asSunheo
that the Commissioners. in naming the trus-
tees. have satisfied themselves that each Oh
the seven members stands in harmony with
that demand For there has been no con-
fusion of issues during all the months OF
discussion and complaint of investigation
and report
The new board will have ample power as
well as full responsibility. The law Great

both the power and the responsibility upon
these seven men and women. The Old GILL

tween trustees and superintendent need

The people confidently anticipate salts

body. They look to the fads which

the lower grades more highly developed In
efficiency. to see better relations established
between teachers and their superiors. and
to be treasured that the schools will no
longer be used for experiments in psychol-
ogy and the like, to the detriment of their
true function.

The Regulation of Barberinx.
From the Milwaukee Wisconsin.

The BARRIERS Of Washington have had a
bill introduced in Congress similar to the
BARRIERS inspection bill. which was killed at
Madison by the legislature of 1899. 1t pro-
poses to license BARRIERS in the District OF
Columbia and to establish board Of exam
liners to govern the issuance Of the same
to competent persons.
Although the remedy for shop evils of
all kinds Is largely in the hands Of patrons,
the idea of Introducing sanitary practice
in the management Of barber shops is rec
commended by the discoveries of scientists
In regard to the origin and dissemination
OF diseases. Some progressive BARRIERS have
Instituted sanitary methods volitionally and
IL Innovations in this direction are encour-
aged in a practical way by patrons who
realize the dangers incident to the indis-
eliminate use of raxors combs and brush
es, there would soon be no reason for the
enactment OF laws ON the subject.

where Are the Mini.ter.,

With Admiral Seymour rescued from MS
great peril northwest of Tien Tsfn. the
duty of the international army In China Is
materially simplified, greatly 80 II the Tor
eign legations from Pekin were with SeY-
mour On this point. however. there IS no
information unclouded by questions Ad-
miral Kempff notified the Navy Department.
before the news of SeyInour's rehe1 hao
been received that 1t was reported at CheIoo
that the legations were with Seymour Inls
has also been announced from Berlin on the
authority of a German consul. But the
Chefoo Shanghai dispatch definitely an
nouncing the relief of Seymour makes no
mention of the legations. but says Seymour
was unable to reach Pekin. and that there
was no news from the capital. If Seymour
could not reach Pekin. it Is extremely
doubtful whether the legations could break
through the mobs to reach him. save on the
assumption that the Chinese government
had provided the foreigners with sun1cient
body guard to permit them to force pas
sage to the relieving party. which then
turned back only to find the way to Tien
Tsin blocked. 1t is positively stated through
English sources that the Chinese govern
ment, June 10. ordered the ministers to
leave Pekin within twenty-four hours, an
$500
the aid of heavy Chinese guard. Specula-
ton as to whether or not this constitutes an
act of war Is idle in face of the greater
anxiety as to the safety Of the ministers
and their proteges. 1t has been rumored
that they have been sent under guard to
Singan Flu, about 600 miles southwest OF
Pekin. also that they have been escorted to
Shan Hal Kwan, a town in the north. not
marked on the maps Finally, the fact that
Admiral Eempff. wiring today concerning
the disposition of certain vessels. makes no
mention of the relief Of the ministers would
seem to corroborate the belief that they are
still In Chinese hands.
Until they are rescued the allied forces
will have the relief of the legations. wher-
ever they are. for their first duty. before
which all else will be of slight consequence.
The internationals are now rapidly assem-
bling and large army will be In existence
inside of week. The situation today Is
apparently that the force from Tien Tsin,
having succored Admiral Seymour, has
pressed on toward Pekin. 1t is to be hoped
that 1t will not find itself blocked and sur
rounded as did Seymour's brave little band
of marines.

Must Protect It's Citizens.
%b, do 10 Ypnr,trar

Our troops and marines are not after
territory. but are engaged in performing
the highest duty that a nation can per-
forrn-the protection Of its own citizens.
The nation that won't do that Is not civ
ilized. and the ruler who won't do 1t Is a
poltroon, detestable coward. The bray of
the political donkeys won't turn the Pres
ident from his bounden duty, and If 5000
troops are not sufficient let him send ten.
and II ten are not enough let him send
twenty or summon Congress to authorize
him to raise an army sufficient for the oc-
casion. American citizens must be protect

From the Philadclphia Ledger.

The President may well express surprise
that the commander Of the Monocacy did
not respond after the vessel had been fired
on and hit by the Chinese at Taku. and this
sentiment will be echoed throughout the
country. 1t Is unlike the commanders of
the American navy to put up with the at
front of a shot, and there must surely be
some very good explanation therefor. 1t is
said that the President has requested an
explanation, hut as yet has received no
reply. If. when 1t has been received, 1t is
not satisfactory. a court of inquiry ought
to be held because the navy cannot afford
to have any reflection ON its brilliant
record

The First Duty.
From the Philadelphia Press.

From the Philadelphia Press.
The first duty of any government is to
protect its own citizens. President
Mckinley has acted on this principle. and
he has the universal support of the Amer
lean people in his action. The man who
thinks an American President should stand
idly by and see American citizens butch
cred by a Chinese mob when American
sailors, marines and soldiers could be used
to rescue them from this horrible fate
must be defective either in head or in
patriotism. either in his knowledge of in
ternational law or in his sympathy with
his fellow citizens.

Instinct.

When you were but an infant,
Whatever you might find,
You tried to put into your mouth;
Such is the childish mind.

Now, is that good to eat?"

And asked when twas complete,
