Gently appeared in the New York
Press. A white-haired, infirm old man
stood wedged between other standing
folk in a crowded Broadway car. Ev-
cry seat was occupied, and for a time
no one paid any attention to him..
At last a little girl, whose golden
hair fell in waves over handsome vel

to the strap. Without a word to her
mother, who sat beside her, she rose
and gently plucked the sleeve Of lis
coat.

The old man looked at her sweet,
upturned face and hesitated for a mo-
ment. Then he barred his snowy head
and bowed low.

1t requires very little capital to ac-

ed farms. The land is open to entry
under the homestead laws. Practically
no charge is made, the homesteader
being required to pay to the govern

actual pro rata cost of irrigation. He
must reside upon and improve his prop
erty for five years before getting IT,

as he sees fit. On the basis of the

about $27 an acre.
The government officials have no
fear that the irrigated land will not be

will be made to realize a profit, the
idea being to recover the actual cost of
building and operating the irrigation

of these lands will be turned into the
reclamation fund, to be used for sim

of public lands in arid States and Ter
ritories since the adoption of the irri-

work which will require an outlay of
$27 100000 were submitted to him the

AN EDUCATIONAL aLUNpER.

THE Board Of Education last night
decided that there shall be no
physical. examination of stu
dents entering the training school f6f
teachers. Opposition to such examina-
tion is based on no reasonable grounds,
The people are taxed to support the
training school, which is for the pur-
pose of preparing teachers to instruct
the young Of this city. --
A physical examination Is necessary
for two reasons: to protect the public
and to protect the interests of the stu
dents themselves. Il is little short OF
a crime to allow girl to spend the
time necessary in the training school.
when it must follow that because OF
physical inability she viii never be
strong enough to. teach. And il is a
crime TO prepare a teacher with plu-
monary trouble or other disease and
send her in the school room to spread
the infection.
we are opposed to the constant
physical examination OF teachers as Il
subjects them to dread and annoyance
and to obviate the necessity for such
examinations the physical examination
should be made at the entrance of tho
training school.
We know that it is a hardship for an
ambitious young woman who wants to
teach to be told that her health win
not permit her to receive the neces-
sary training. but to tell her so is pre-
ferable to allowing her to take her time
to be trained for teaching at public ex-
pense when she will not be able to
spend a day in the school room; or il
she does, TO her own discomfort and as
"A menace TO the health of others.
The board did wrong. Ii should re-
wise its decision There are few
members who know the needs of the
work, but there are others who should
themselves go to school a few years TO

but we have come to understand that
human ignorance was at the bottom.

into many absurd conclusions, and II
certain theories are followed out we

the race. We know now that most dis

this contagion to its source.

Evening journal., 1904-08-23

NR CALEB r. LAYTON, who has
figured so prominently in our
politics during the past few
years. is largely responsible for pc
culiar political idea which has taken
hold of great many Of our people. He
has preached it indiscriminately for
years; but he has never expressed It
better than he did at meeting Of the
Union Republican state Committee last
night. We quote from the Dover cor
respondent Of the Philadelphia Rec
ord.
"All politics is buneombe; the best
politician is the man who. can put up
the most buneombe."
There is a certain consistency about
this leader; his practice harmonizes
with his theories--buncombe all bum
combe Nothing is reali nothing is
honest; no motive may be seen ON the
surface; it is all a game beside which
three-card monte and thimblerlgging
are honest and innocent.
This Bit Of Wisdom wins uttered for
the guidance Of Addicks and that gem
tleman Acknowledged its truth by his
silence. Even the Rev. David S. Clark
had no word Of protest; It was bum
oombe all buncombe, and he was one
OF the participants. e
We are inclined to question DR. lay
toms dictum. There are some very
good men in politics; i'm fact under our
form Of government every man is
obliged TO take part In politics. And
yet not every man mdulges in bum
combe. Thousands of men play an
honest part and desire their acts and
their words to be taken at their face
value. There are political leaders and
political sharpers. Buncombe is the
policy of the latter but buncombe is not
a safe policy by which TO govern q
party or a State.
