mshts from high places that school

T today, have not the knowledge of
@oglisS Sorthography that character
lied The pupils of generation ago.
The1case as stated by the Brooklyn
Eagle is: .,
The nub of the matter is Just this,
the public-school children can not
spell. The principals of the high
schools know that they can not spell,
as does everybody else who has occa-
sionto receive letters from them. IF
q series Of competitions were held, this
most troublesome fact of the school
situat.on to those on the inside might
be revealed to the great body of par
ents, and taxpayers. Then there
might arise such hue and cry for
common sense and the fundamentals
of education as would annoy the
authorities who now make ont our
scientific and philosophical course of
study, which sights spelling for gen.
eral information about everybody
from Confucius and Buddha down to
Admiral Togo.
Assuming that there is justice in
the Eagles contention, the New Ha-
ven Register says:
The seriousness of this fact need
not be dwelt upon. 1t is patent to
every man, active in any one of 4tbe
several walks of life. Not to be able
to spell is to enter the race of life
handicapped. To make it a chief
end Of public education may require
q modification of the modern ornate
system Of education, but this would
not be 80 much of an evil as it ap-
pears upon the surface.

upon his application for membership,
is the nearest admission ON the part
of that body of sharks that none but
cotton bears are wanted, that has
ever been made public. Read the
following and judge for your selves:
Thomas j. Majors has for many
years been member of the New Or
leans cotton exchange, and has been
during that time one of the foremost
operators in the South 8 chief staple.
MIR. Majors was in the historic SYM
dicate which took actual delivery of
more thar 100000 bales from the
New York bears in the summer of
1908. and thus routed veteran
army Of manipulators. Mr.. Majors,
Tor perhaps we should say the firm of
which he was then ), the head,) failed
during the crisis of 1895, but the sus-
pension was temporary and all credit
ors were soon paid dollar for dollar.
His personsal character is above re-
proach and his present wealth is
known to be large.
Not very long ago MIR. Majors ap>
piled for membership in the New
York cotton exchange. The appli>
cation was favorably reported by the
committee on membership, but was
rejected by the board of managers.
Everybody hereabout marveled at
the taboo, and the wonder deepened
into amazement when the New York
Times frankly declared that the epi>
sode simply crystalized a resolve to
have no more bull manipulators in
the ranks Of the metropolitan body.
Such a reason is worse than no
reason at all.
We should be the last to deny the
right and the first to affirm the duty
which an exchange owes to the pub,
lie. The character and standing of
applicants should be scrutinized with
infinite care, so that no desperadoes
may have the opportunity to play
fast and loose with other people,
funds. But an exchange is not a
mere club after all, and the genera!
welfare rquires that operators of all
shades of opinion be represented
around the "Rings" where prices for
q basis commodity are made. What
would not be said, and rightly said,
