District Commissioners West and Mac

White House and saw the President, but
afterward declared chat their visit had
had nothing TO do with the charges con-
corning the record or the management
OF the inquiry into the alleged school

These charges. which were preferred
in The Times by Gen. H. V. Boynton.
president of the Board of Education,
were that Commissioner Mcfarland had
allowed the record of the inquiry to be
withheld from public inspection and has
mismanaged the affair. 1t has been
thought that the Commissioners intend
ed to take some action. either for or
against. in regard to the charges. but
as yet they declare that they have not
done SO.
They maintained most positively that
they did not discuss the matter with the
President However. they declined 10
say on what errand they went to the
White House.

Pigeon English Won't DO.

In view Of the fact that the President
will entertain a party of distinguished
Cinnamon at musicale at the White
House next Monday. there has been
some speculation as 10 the medium of
conversation which the President Will
adopt to talk to his guests. At the head
of the party will be Prince Pulun, a
nephew OF the Emperor of China, 10
whom II is highly desirable that this
Government show some courtesy since
he brings a personal message from the
Emperor 10 the President of the United
States.
Prince Pulun. however, knows no Ian
guage except Chinese, and the others In
the party are said to be equally def

include mastery OF the Chinese tongue

tic plan, one is moved to wonder
whether some of the writer's are not
open TO much the same criticism to
which Mr.. Burroughs subjects Wahb
and his friends-whether they do not
make their typical characters" We
hicles for things which they think
the people of that type feel and say,
rather than true pictures of actual
beings. Mr. Page and Mr.. Dixon, for
example, are convinced that every
Northerrer who is a gentleman would
solve the race problem just as the
South does, and every Northerner who
is not gentleman is a besotted fool,
a hypocrite, or a scheming political
adventurer. To Mrs. Atherton aver
age American society is either prim
and bloodless or hypocritically con-
Ye1tional; the only real people are
foreign and domestic aristocrats, and
servants attached to them after the
manner of Juliet's nurse or Touch
stone the fool To Richard Harding
Davis everybody unprovided with a
Gibson profile seems to be canaille;
reading Mrs. Wigs or Mrs. Wiggin
one would suppose that there were
only two classes of society. the very
poor and the very rich. Several
Western writer's give one the idea
that the cowboy, instead of being an
ordinary American youth punching
cattle instead of running a railway
engine or a typewriter, is a creature
quite by himself, as much as mon
key, and most of the New York nov
els would give a person from another
planet the idea that reporters were
created from the beginning in a
species by themselves, and did not
belong to humanity at all
In short. we have had so many
types that they sometimes seem to
be lay figures for the writer's ideas,
and not real people at all. The aver
age human being is made of pro-
toplasm and shaped by his environ
ment, and he is. as a rule, neither
superhuman nor subhuman; he is
just a person. 1t might be a good
thing If some of the type-hunters
would grasp this idea and give us
human nature with variations.
