Testing the Schoolmaster.

In the town records Of the city Of
Boston there ID curious passage
which records how a schoolmaster was
examined and what happened. The
manner in which the visit of inspection
Is recorded makes one incline to the
view that tho unIachy schoolmaster
may not have hac fair play. although
If he WIS really inefficient he may be
said to have been judged by his peers.
In the record for the 22d of May,
1922, it Is set forth that:
Coll Pen Townsend, jeremiah Al
len Esqr. & John Edwards together
with the Select men. vissitted the
wrighting School at the Southerly End
of Boston on Thursday the Oath apll
1722. and Examined the Scholars un-
der mr. Ames Anglers tuition as to their
proficiency in Reading writing Scy-
phering Il the masters ability of teach
ing & Instructing &outh his rules &
methods therefore And are Of Opinion
That it will be no Service to the Town
to Continue. mr. anger in that Employ"
Whereupon it was voted that the
said MIR. Ames Anger should not con-
tinue master Of the ''Said South
school," -
1t is true that nothing is said of the
methods of spelling inculcated at the
'wrightinS School" and 1t is also pos
sible that clerk rather than the COM
mittee was responsible for the errors
of the record. but there is certainly
something absurd in the passage as it
stands

Old Goo.eberry For New ships.

1t may be ungenerous to dispel pop
ular delusion. but there is no one
among the thousands who witness a
ship launch who does not believe that
the beautifully garlanded bottle of
wine broken against the stem of ship
is, anything but the choicest brand of
champagne drawn from the admirars
cellar. Whenever y ship is launched in
dockyard. the admiralty generously
allow f40 as the cost of the jubilation.
and included in this sum of f40 is the
item of 8 shillings for wine. Hence it
follows that not only is the wine not
drawn from the admiraPs cellar. but it
certainly is not champagne of foreign
vintage.--English Navy and Military

b
States Would Lead to Closer Com
mercial Relations.
New York, June ia special to
The Herald from Washington says:
Keen American observers Of for
eign diplomacy and commerce put an
entirely different construction on the
conflict of South American republics,
which threatens to wreck the Pan
American congress, to be held in the
City of Mexico. They say that behind
the dispute between Peru and Bolivia
on one hand and Chile on the other
over the arbitration of the Tacna and
africa dispute is the Vaccinations of
European diplomatists and European
business men. Europe does not want
the Pdn-American exposition, to be
success.
While the United States is engaged
in an effort to capture the markets of
Europe, all Europe is busy in race
for the markets of South America.
Europe is increasing it's export trade
with Brazil, Venezuela, Argentina and
Chile, and the United States export
trade to South America Is rapidly fall
ing off with the exception of that to
Venezuela. 1t is said to be important
to European trade that the Pan-Amer-
lean congress be not held. Anything
that brings closer understanding b."
tween the United States and South
american countries is bound to lead to
closer commercial relations.
European Agents In Chile.
An official who is in close touch
with the scope and influence of the
Pan-American congress says European
agents have been busy in Chile Undue
ing that government to take the stand
that threatens to disrupt the congress.
He says that the same influence has
been busy in Lima to induce Peru to
combat the position taken by Chile.
Similar negotiations have been in pro-
gress in Buenos Ayres to influence
Argentina not to enter the congress.
The plan has been to permeate
South America with the idea that the
United States seeks to control the
politics of the various countries and is
holding the Pan-American exposition
and projecting the Pan-American con-
gress for the purpose of making South
America appear as the tail to the
North American kite. The statement
is made to the state and war depart
ments that in much the same way
have the American difficulties been in
creased in Cuba.
A gentleman who has spent much
time there says that foreign govern
ments are in much closer touch with
the proceedings Of the constitutional
convention than are the Americans
and have been very successful in SOW
ing dissension and discord.
