Editor of The Sun:

Editor of The Sun:
Permit an old subscriber to suggest
that the tenor Of most of the newspa-
per articles about the recent discus.
sions about the action OF the board Of
trustees of the public schools. is high
ly injurious to the public school sys-
tenn. To the newspaper articles, as
much as to anything else, is to be
charged the spirit of characterization
recently shown not only by teachers
in the schools, but also by the pupils
as shown by the demonstration by
High school pupils on yesterday after
noon. 1t is very probable that these
pupils did not recognize the gravity of
the offense they were committing by
their action. II is difficult for adults
to always show good judgment and it
is only charitable to the children to
lay their action to ignorance.
As matter of fact, discipline should
be the trst stone in the organization
of the school system. Insubordination
on the part of either teacher or pupil,
should be, and is, a grave offense.
II teachers set an example Of insub-
ordination, what shall we say If the
pupils that are thus encouraged to
similar action?
The board of trustees is elected to Sc
lect the city's servants in the school
department. AS usual in the present
case, as in similar cases in the past,
they have determined some selec lions
by a caucus, which is recognized not
only in the school board, but in the
city council, as legitimate.
That their action should have pro-
NOTED q revolt among teachers who
are elected TO instill ideas of discipline
and obedience to authority, followed
by similar action among pupils thus
encouraged, should call for she uni
versal condemnation Of the press and
public. Very truly yours.

President Roosevelt seems in fair
way to get the Republican nomination
next year unanimously. Ohio and In
diana are both for him, despite the
claims of the Democratic press that
neither would go for him. Senator
Fairbanks of Indiana states that he
knows of no opposition in Indiana to
the presidents nomination and ss he
was the mainstay of the hopeful DEM
ocrats all probability of having any
opposition in Indiana has vanished.
Senator Hanna's reported opposition
failed to develop, and Ohio promptly
dropped into line, and the only fore
cast that now holds out any prospect
of fulfillment is that President Roose-
welt will be nominated unanimously.
