the Superintendent Authority and OF
the Teachers Independence" Mr..
Cove said in part:
The independence of a teacher is
confined to that part of his official lita
that depends upon ethical relations.
There can be no independence with re-
gard to the performance of an assigned
duty.
"A democracy of teachers for the pu:-

the patrOlmen OF the police department
of a great city shall organize and give
directions according to their own will
to the department in which they ara
placing their service.
Neither concerning their admins
tration nor educational policies can the
teachers be entrusted with final decis-
ion.
An organization of teachers for leg
islative purposes or for directive pur-
poses is comparable to an organization

chief of staff of Gen Kuropatkin, dated
July 18th:
July Sd the advance guard of the
Russian force operating east Of Lilac
Yang occupied a position at Land-Tse

our scouts ascertained that detach
ment of the enemy's advance guard
1900 strong. had occupied the villages
Of Ekhavuan and Tcha-kumen-La, the
main force having remained in Fen
shut and Molten passes.
at this moment we discovered tho
movement of Japanese detachment
consisting of battalion of infantry to
turn our left flank positions in the
Yang-Tse pass. in the direction of
Lian-Dian Sian. In order to check
this movement, a force of five compa
MES of infantry. two detachments of
mounted hussars and half a company
OF Cossacks was sent forward in tho
direction of the threatened point.
In order to learn the strength OF

Firing began about !: 80 p. NJ. July
{. Gernitskys column reached the
cross roads and dislodged company
OF the enemy's advance guard. which
was almost annihilated. Simultaneous
ly Letschitskys column dislodged the
enemyS advance posts without flrins
a shot. and approached the foot OF the
heights. which were surmounted by a
temple. The temple is less than milo
east of Ekhavuan. where. although ex'
posed to heavy frontal and flank fire,
our troops dashed forward and dis.
lodged the Japanese from their en-
frenchments and occupied the pass As
the enemy was preparing to deliver a
frontal and flank attack. our column
then retired as previously instructed
Three companies of Gernitsky's force
occupied the position which they had
been ordered to secure.
When Letschitsky's force began to
withdraw, the enemy opened heavy
fire from the heights. In spite of this
the column retired in perfect order.
Brave Letschitsky remained continu,
ally on the fighting line and directed
the column with remarkable ability
and coolness He was the last to re.

S7oo, 900 Year for Protection.

A recent cable dispatch in the New
York Herald says:
THE Tariff Reform league is al
ready cae of the wealthiest political
bodies ever formed in England. It's
subscription list, apart from dona-
lions, amounts to G140,000 year.
During 1904 its purposes to print and
distribute not less than hundred
million leaflets and pamphlets, some
of the latter big enough to be called
a yolume.-Herald special cable dis
patch
To American protectionists 100000
n wear must seem a mighty sum to de
vote to the propagation of protection
ism. 1t Is nearly twenty times the
sum annually contributed for that pur
pose in their own country-a country
with a reading population fully three
lines as great as that of Great Brit
ain. Reckoned on a per capita basis,
the subscription list in England-to
saw nothing of dorations-is sixty
times greater than in the United
States. And yet the amount placed AT
t,.s disposal OF the Tariff Reform
league In behalf of protection does not
seem so large when it is remembered
that British free traders donated $500
900 outright to Richard Golden.
