Considerable Of discussion has been
started by the fact that President Roose-
welt has this fall caused a second son to
Be enrolled in the public schools Of Wash
ington. Another son entered the public
schools Of that city last year. But why
should 50 much attention be paid to the
fact that the two boys are pupils in q pub
lie institution? What is a presidents son
that lie should require any other means Of
educational training than that afforded the
other youth Of the country? Manifestly
there IS no reason. It is the very essence
Of our boasted democracy that the young
of the country should not be differentiated
into classes and one section or part be
made to feel its superiority over another
Ii sending his sons to the public schools
President Roosevelt has done just what a
majority Of American fathers have done
and win continue to do. II the public
school is good enough for the son Of a
man III private life. and It surely is. then
the same school Is amply good enough for
the son Of man ia public life, even
though that man may be the head Of the
republic. We want no distinction Of
classes and we do not want to inculcate in
the minds Of the coming generation any
idea Of superiority or inferiority. Presi-
dent Roosevelt needs no commentator

TO the Commissioners of the noises oc-

These ears are thrown out of gear, -
says the superintendent. and the

explosive noises in rapid succession. As
these trials are conducted in a public
