Strange School Logic.

Washington's school board
whether as the old board of school
trustees or as the present Board OF
Education-has done, now and then,
some very remarkable things. But it
is much TO be doubted whether ever
before it has carefully gathered tes-
timony as to one issue in order 20
draw a conclusion as 10 another issue
entirely different.
The reference is to the much dis
cussed fight which grew out OF a re-
cent game of football between the
Technical and Central High Schools.
1t appears from the statement issued
by the board that it went 10 some
pains to investigate the matter. 1t
learned that one boy was excluded
from the game for smuggling" and il
defines that offense with fine sarcasm
as zone OF the technical terms of this
manly game, including everything
from fighting to manslaughter." Sub
sequently two of the boys from the
other school encountered the offender,
and the board vert TO some lengths
to investigate the melee which fol-
lowed.
From the boards own review of the
case the boy put out of the game was
the only one who transgressad the
rules of football according TO the
Judgment Of the referee. But the
committee has something further to
say on the subject 1t has examined
several of the boys, in writing. and
has come TO this conclusion:
The substance of their testimony
seems 10 be that they were earnestly be-
sought 10 act like lambs until they We're
hit. aud like priZenghters afterward. IL
IS the opinion of the committee that the
game Is becoming too strenuous when
tie trainer finds il necessary to give fun
Instructions as To the proper way 20
meet smuggling and that the game
needs civiliZing.
On this showing the game OF foot
ball is condemned-not because the
game is evil in its tendencies, but be-
cause a boy who offended against its
rules was punished, a fist-hght Oc-
Cured after the game was a day old
and a coach-who happened to be a
member of the faculty and not a stu
dent-haG 50 FAR forgotten his re-
probabilities as 10 advise his charges
&c slug" II is surely 10 be doubt
ec If the records of the school board
parallel this remarkable reasoning.
IN one other respect this incident
requires notice. The board cites the
record Of one of the boys 10 the eff.
feet that he has been suspended sis
times.
The Times has no sympathy, anC
none of its readers will have any sym
pathy. with any such misconduct as
that statement indicates. But they
viii all question the need for publish
ing that record when the boy has al
last turned about face and is doing the
best he knows how. His teachers say
that for a year and half his conduct
has merited no correction more severe
than 2 Teprimand and that all his sus-
pensions occurred at another school
This is the situation as it was reveal
ed 10 The Times without the Least
fraction of the labor expended by the
board on its rather elaborate investi.
cation.

A NEW WRITER OF FICTION.
The Times has secured for next
Sunday a fascinating story by o.
Henry, the latest addition to the num-
Der of magazine short story writer's.
1t contains a delightfully."- humorous
theory built on the hypothesis that
the nature of man changes when his
life is removed from the paths of ma
ture and moves in straight lines and
turns sharp angles. OF course, life in
the city viii effect such changes. and
the examples that appeal with the
most force TO him are prize ehrysan-

publican Missouri. Cauliflower au
