A school teachers education does not

A school teachers education does not
count for much unless she is strong
enough to use it, so in Chicago candi-
dates for teachers places are very prop
erly required to pass physical exami-
nation. There was a futtering in the
normal schools when the rule was
adopted, a year ago, 1t being feared
that 1t would bar out some Of the best
students, but the first result was that
it stimulated them to take proper care
of their health. 'They have had SOUP
for luncheon, instead Of cookies" saws
a well-known professional woman, land
they have not dieted, as they used to,
on slate-pencils and pickles" These en-
hghtened graduates are expected not
to collapse under the strain of their
work. A pity 1t seems that they will
not have authority to make their pu-
pills take that same road to health
which they themselves have learned to
travel.

deadly mistake into victims stom-

in the United States before the arrival

plain. Fads had entered the common

throughout the country opened the

Teaching Of penmanship was formerly
as regular an incident in the common
schooling as instruction in history or
geography. Fads had crowded pen

the typewriter, which completed the
rout Of the pen. SO great dependence
is now laid in this country upon the lit

continue to do so until American
schools revive instruction In handwrit-

The old question of the value Of
physicians services is up again in

aires seem to go on the plan that what
ever the value OF a live man, dead
one is worth only what his doctor can

fight over the late Chris Magee's doc
tor bill was famous. Now another ply
stefan is in court trying to collect So,
243.25 from the estate Of a man who
was Carnegie Steel Company partner.
The doctor wants $25 for each visit,
and his patient had 100000. The
physician swears that he kept the brain
and body of the rich man going for one
year, and that in those twelve months
he added an even one million dollars
to his fortune. If that is true the doc
tors bill Is trifing. There are a good
many men who would part with for
tunes for month, or even week, Of
life and health and business activity.

MACLAY AND THE CIVIL-sERvICE
LAW.

Edgar s. Maclay is likely to prove useful
in spite of himself. His recent conduct has
been such as to confirm the public estimate
of his unftness to pose as historian and
his unwOrthiness to be in the public service,
and now he has invited new construction
of the civil-service law which will establish
the executive authority on a basis that will
leave no doubt as to the proper treatment
of future Maclays. He wrote to the Civil
service Commission protesting against his
removal on the ground that under the civil
service law he was protected from removal
even by the President of the United States
without the assignment of reasons in writ
ing and an opportunity to answer them.
The rule which Maclay thought protected
him provides that no removal shall be made
from any position subject to competitive
examination except for just cause and upon
written charges filed with the head of the
department, and of which the accused shall
have full notice and an opportunity to
make defense This rule applies to heads
of bureaus and heads OF departments, but
not TO the President. Maclay might per-
maps nave AANOhCh NhC ANlS do against the
secretary of the navy, but not against the
President, and his removal made by
order of the President" Moreover, the civil
service rules are not operative until ap-
proved by the President and he can sus-
| pend their operation whenever he thinks
circumstances justify such suspension.
Maclay's offense was doubly rank First
he made. openly and publicly. a false and
scurrilous charge against Admiral Schley
| that caused the government much embar-
rassment; and. second, he defed the power
| Of the secretary of the navy TO remove him.
| thus showing an insubordinate spirit to-
wards his superior. In these circumstances
| the President was justified in peremptorily
| dismissing him. The chairman Of the Civil
| service Commission has given him 70 under
/ stand that the law and rules were not in
| tended to tie the hands Of the President as
| against offensive and insubordinate Of
| ficials of any grade. If Maclay appeals to
| the courts as he intimates a purpose of do
/ ing, he will get further dose Of ''red-eyed'
/ law. Meanwhile, like the man who was
I assured that he could not be put in Jail for
/ a certain offense, the public is content to
/ know that in spite of Maclay's contention
he is out of Office without any prospect Of
ever getting in again.
