Principal SCOTS letter on reduction
Of expense in the public school sys-
TEN serves the very good purpose to
set the people thinking. General re-
auctions that reduce efficiency, partic-
ularly in the schools, are among the
most disastrous investments any COM
munity can make. The scheme OF re-
trenchment in the educational depart
ment was sweeping twenty per cent
shave. Others cut out specific salaries,
divided work among officers remaining
thereby reducing the stan numerically
but recognizing in way that main
tanned the general standard of Off
cheney. A general percentage reduction
Is an easy way to make expense come
within the income; 1t is adopted in
cotton mills and similar institutions,
but II Is easy to see where such meth
cd can work an injury in a school
system where results are now accom-
plished according to the mechanical
skill Of employees. That retrenchment
Is best which is brought about by
carefully studied readjustment rather
than arbitrary hacketing without con-
sideration for the education and train
ing of the teacher.

penditures of the various departments
in the public service. This does not
mean, neither is 1t intended to mean,
that unnecessary and wasteful ex.
penditure should not be mercilessy
eliminated from the operations of gov
eminent. But to trim TO the quick, all
at once, any or all of the departments
so that wise efficiency gives place to
incompetency, is penny wise and
pound foolish.
The English chancellor Of the ex.
chequer recently reported to Parlia
ment deficit of eighteen millions of
dollars. and very likely larger one to
occur In the next fiscal year.
II would have been an easy task for
him to advise Parliament to lop off
Ave millions from the navy, five from
the army, three from the appropria'
tions for national education, etc, etc,
ttill the revenue should equal the ex.
penditure or vice versa, the expendi
ture equal the revenue. The trained
chancellor, however, had a different
scheme. He recommended an increase
of a penny in the pound income tax,
IAN Increased excise on beer,-in short,
q little here, little there, so as to
make the burden proportionate on each
and every class. It Is an obvious ak.
lon that the fiscal deficit In the Terri.
torial Treasury must be met In some
way: and the presumption is that the
shortest way was considered the cas-.
lest way. To paraphrase witty and
half-cynical saying of Neckar, the
geese must be plucked; but pluck that
class most which will quack least. and
whose quacking will have least inau'
ence'-especially In politics.
To cut expenses Of any department,
especially when that cut falls almost
exclusively upon the salaries of EN-
ployees, as In the educational depart
ment, seems a near approach to spe
cial form of class legislation and taxa
ton. The income of the Territory
must be made to balance the ex
penses; or rather the converse of this
the expenditures must be reduced tc
the present income. To meet this con
dition tho salaries of the teacher,
have to be reduced 20 per cent. The
average salary of all the teachers n
the Territory Is about ss5. Reduces

Such trouble had in deed come to me, and, startling coinci- dence, was at this moment In the very house where this picture hung, and more startling fact yet, the golden ball needed to interpret its meaning was round my neck, for with such jeal- ousy was this family trinket always guarded by it's owner.

 An officer we had not before noted was standing near the front door. He came forward at this and placed a second telegram in the superintendents hand. It was from the same source as the one previously received and ap- peared to settle this very question.
