SCHOOL BOARD
MEETING

The session of the School Board Mon
day night was nearly wholly taken ui
with a spirited discussion of matters
pertaining TO sanitation and discipline.
/ It was the sense OF the Board that
too many children during the term are
" sent home for trivial ofenses, or
as one director put it, the truant
officer drums the pupils into school
and the teachers drum them Jut
The discussion grew out OF report
of the - Grievance Committee. which
had at least one case on hand, that
dcfcd adjustment. It was of sort
that turns up nearly every meeting
night where the father and mother
to quote the directors do not pull to-
getheI aud the boy is out of school
on the strength of notes furnished by
the induIgent mother, while the faith
er, unconscious of the fact takes the
school authorities to task for not keep
ing his boy in school. These cases
generally lead to unpleasant complica-
tions before the truth is found out.
Dropping this case in despair the
Board took up the question of dis
cipline. 1t was the sense of the most
OF them that teachers are apt to be
come too clptious and eXacting, send
ing pupils home for very trifiing Of
fenses, such as the mere exchange of a
whispered remark The return to
school, il was held, is often condition
ed upon making an apology, which in
the case OF spirited pupil is seldom
complied with gracefully if at all, and
the result may be that the boy or girl
is kept out of school for greater or
less length of time. losing much valu-
able Instruction
Dr HarreI and Mes-r~ Fischer and
Greene expressed themselves in point
ed and emphatic terms, condemning
the practice of obliging the pupils in
trifjng cases to make apology and in
sisting that new methods bee employed
during the remainder OF the term, ad-
vocatiug as a substitute for sending
home detention after school and the
imposing OF extra tasks.

TO PROHIBIT AN INJUNCTION
st. Louis Ticket Scalpers Making a
Fight for Life.

Jefferson City, Mo, Oct. 31-The ques-
ton of whether or not the ticket brok-
ers of ST. Louis are going to be per-
mitted to sell Worlds fair railroad
tickets at discount next year was be-
fore the supreme court in banc today.
The question is an important one, as
it affects the rates to be offered the
public during the Worlds fair months
The railroads running into st. Louis
desire to sell low-rate tickets during
the fair, but on the condition that the
returns are not to be handled by the
ticket scalpers. To prevent this, the
railroad companies secured an injunc-
ton from the circuit judges of St
Louis against the ticket brokers to re-
strain them from dealing in World's
fair tickets.
To offset this move, the brokers filed
an application in the supreme court for
a writ of prohibition to prevent the cir
cult Judges of ST. Louis from granting
any such injunction, and it was this
case which was argued today The
plaintiffs are Ticket Brokers Schubach,
Hirt Leonard, Steiner and Wasserman
and the defendants are Judges McDon-
aid, Kinealy, Fisher, Hough and Wood.
Attorneys F. N. Judson and Henry Q.
Bond of ST. Louis appeared for the
brokers and Honorable Martin l.
Clardy for the railroad companies

Black Women.

A ehivalric correspondent writing
earnestly in behalf of negro women
hopes that Golfers will not be ''afraid"
to publish his composition, as other
newspapers have been. Fear is not
deterrent; for we can see no danger
threatening from his proposition, some-
what deliberately expounded, that the
black women have been i'll treated and
deserve sympathy, for their sakes and
ours. Persons to deny that manifesto
would be difficult to find "Of all the
women of the earth and of time" says
our Demosthenes. "it is she who has
suffered most atrociOuS abOuSe in
this kind" and it is her natural mis-
standards which compulsive opinion has
imbedded in her blonder> sisters. Have
there been any lynchingS in the South, -

anhood, who is also mother. daughter,

tity, encouraged in and for negro wOm-
en-, would reduce the most Objectionable
crime of negro men. is also granted, and
is important. Since the old safeguard,
of inconceivable distance between black
men and white women. will never again
be planted in the blacks, we must seek
other cures, although restoring, in some
localities, a degree of the old submis-
SiOn- Figures intended to minimize the
horrors of the situation in Southern
country districts, by comparison with
the North, are misleading. The form
taken in these Southern districts are
inexpressibly horrible. Death is involv-
ed. Children are victims. No amount of
prudence is a safe guard and no sta
ton protects. Our southern negroes, -
continues our correspondent, are the
most amiable of the races of men, and
give promise that they will in due time,
if treated justly lift the standard of So
ciaI ethics for mankind Be it so. But
justice is no matter of rhetoric. Tt is a
complicated fact, varying from year to
year. and place to place, and the best
full and kindly feeling of the way. AS
we have intimated before, we believe
that in some localities a useful expert
ment might be made along the lines
suggested by the term Brother to the
Ox''-ColIier's Weekly.
