.woRKINGv THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

The custom of offering prizes is one
which has always been properly discour-
aged in the Indianapolis schools. The evils
of allowing children to engage in COMPETE
ton for money or other articles of value
were long since recognized and the practice
prohibited. 1t was found when such a sys-
tenn was more or less prevalent that the
contests aroused excitement and jealousies
that were Injurious to children, both physi-
cally and morally, while the disappoint-
ment experienced by the unsuccessful COM
petitors acted as a check upon further
mental activities. 1t was also realized by
wise teachers and managers that the prize
the desire to get something for nothing
the gambling spirit which permeates all
classes of society from board OF trade or
stock exchange spectators on down a long
list that includes patrons of get-rich-quick
societies, and ends with the street waits
the case the action OF the School Board In
giving encouragement to the prize
scheme of an evening paper Is an amazing
piece OF business Upon the representation
that the scheme is educational the board
has foisted upon the schools a cheap-John
advertising device which involves all the
evils and more that were sought to be
avoided by forbidding 'prize-giving through
the regular channels. The children will not
interest themselves I'm 1t because 1t is edu-
cational. which it is not. but because of the
hope Of securing a money prize.
Presumably the time and attention Of
teachers and pupils are already fully occu-
pied by their legitimate and regular du-
ties, but II they are to be called of to en-
gage IN competitions In the interest OF out
side business concerns. what becomes Of

The announcement that the National
Metal Trades Association and the Inter-
national Association of Mechanics. the first
labor. have reached a plan for arbitration
Of disputes without strikes is a very i'm
portant one. During ten days the repre-
sentatives of both sides have discussed
every phase Of the relations which exist
between them and Of the differences Of
the past, and have finally come to the con-
clusion that all differences hereafter be-
tween them shall be submitted to a ma
tional board Of arbitration. All strikes now
on shall be declared of, and hereafter
Another feature Of the agreement is that
the mechanics in every branch of employ
ment shall be competent either by regu-
lar apprenticeship or working at the trade
four years. The agreement includes ex-
plicit terms regarding employment. the
hours which shall constitute weeks
work. the compensation for overtime and
other important features. BY this agree
ment 100000 skilled workmen and 100 manu-
facturers with an investment Of SIS. 900 900
have reached q common understanding.
Not long ago It was feared that there
might be q general strike Of mechanics,
which would be most disastrous because
so many industries depend upon the. max
ers Of machinery. The representatives of
these tens Of thousands Of skilled me-
chanics. instead of striking. condemn
strikes and lockouts and agree upon a sys-
tenn of arbitration. 1t is hoped that the
action of this conference Of intelligent
workmen and employers will lead other
industries to follow their example.

In view of the fact that most of the
tional amendments depriving the negroes Of
the right Of suffrage it is suggested in some
quarters that the fifteenth amendment to
the Constitution of the United States might
as well be repealed. That amendment says
that "the right of the citizens Of the United
States to vote shall not be denied or
abridged by the United States or by any
State on account Of race, color or previous
condition Of servitude." While the amend
ed constitutions In the South do not in
terms base the denial Of the ballot upon
color, that is their obvious intent. and the
effect is 50 clearly to nullify the fifteenth
amendment that some persons think it
might as well be repealed. This would be
in principle and grows more righteous every
day. Time will vindicate 1t. and instead of
giving way to the illegal constitutions of
Southern States they must eventually yield
to the amendment. It should stand while
the Constitution does and make its way on
its merit The Declaration of Independence
said: I'VE hold these truths to be self
evident, that all men are created equal.
that they are endowed by their Creator
with certain inalienable rights, that among
happiness In spite of this declaration
the Constitution recognized slavery. and 1t
was three-quarters Of a century before the
negroes were given the liberty to which the
Declaration said they were entitled. Some
anteed them by the fifteenth amendment.
1t should stand in the Constitution as re-
buke and a prophecy until it is made an
