Tiny tongue that cannot talk,
Tiny feet that cannot walk,
Nothing of you that can do
Aught, except those eyes of blue.
How they open, how they close! -
EyelidS of the baby-rose.
Open and shut-SO blue, so wise,
Baby-eyelids, baby-eyes.

What the Question Is.

The Board of Education will meet
tonight in special session, and act
decisiveIy in the Swartzen-E East
ern High School controversy. The
issue will be awaited by the parents
of every child in the public schools
with an intense personal interest. II
the members of the board intend to
observe the trust which those parents
have imposed upon them, they must
reach their decision tonight with eyes
solely for the good Of the public
school system. They may be consid-
crate of Mr. Swartzell, If opportunity
offers. But they must be watchful
of the children given into their charge
at the most impressionable period of
the ehild-life
To this end the issue must be clear

generally confused.
1t does not deal with two things
either with Mr.. swartzell's personal
character and erudition, or with his

THE LAW OF COMPENSATION.

The passenger had had 10 run for his
car, and he was putting as he climbed
aboard and it started out West Girard
avenue toward the park. The breeze
that famed the flying car was very
grateful to him. and as he took off his
hat to get the full benefit of it. he said
to the conductor: BY George. you fell
lows on the front and rear ends Of a
street car have the advantage of the
rest of roasting humanity these sultry
days. The conductor had a streak of
philosophy In him, whether ale knew il
or not, and replied: Il don't know.
Things are evened up pretty well In life,
After riding in q stiff breeze half a day.
We get off and suffer more from heat
the other half than anybody else. The
atmosphere is simply sitting after our
long hours on the cool car. / never get
used 10 It, and am always ready for nay
next trip. The degrees Of temperature
are evened up better for you than for
me, and that's no lie" Thus the law
of compensation works.-Philadelph

unquestioned And no one with any
knowledge of the facts has under
taken to defend the wanton disregard
of the school discipline which led
the boys Of the cadet company TO alb
sent themselves from school and dis
turb the sessions of other schools
near their own. This was gross in
subordination and insOlence on the
part of boys who wore the uniforms
OF soldiers.
The real issue begins where this
disturbance ends. 1t is two-fold:
First-Was this teachers conduct
between the time of this disturbance
and the close of the school year, com
patible with his office as principal Of
the school?
Second-Does such conduct reveal
in the teacher any personal and in
herent incapacity for the Office of
principal?
IN considering the first of these
questions the board must weigh these
things;
That Mr. Swartzell refused to par
ticipate in the class-day exercises Of
the students about to graduate from
his school. and that this proceeding
must be explained either IS rebuke
to the class, as an organization, for
the conduct of the cadet company. al
though the fu,o hod;as ora AD+;raJr-
distinct, or as a manifestation Of an
extraordinary lack of interest in a
class which had been trained for
graduation under his direction AS
ia matter of fact, Mr.. SwartzeIl, though
he refused to address the students.
was able to attend the exercises and
view them from a corridor
That the class. when 1t undertook
to present to the principal disavow-
al of responsibility for the conduct
Of the cadet company, and present
a request that Mr. Swartzell recon-
slider his decision not to attend the
exercises, was refused an audience,
fatty and impatiently.
IN considering the second of these
questions, the board must weigh these
things:
That Mr Swartzell is manifestIy
lacking in tact
That he has never given any proof
Of really understanding the boy ma
ture or possessing any sympathy for
it, and that children of the school
age not only need sympathy and ufi-
derstanding but the honest manifes-
tation of those qualities
That, for the lack of these things
or for other reasons. he has proven
unequal to the control and develop
ment of boys who have studied faith
fully and horne themselves creditably
when transferred to other schools.
That, again for the lack Of these
qualities or for other reasons, his
school has been for more than a year
in condition of nervous excitement,
continued restlessness, and incipient
! disorder.
Here. then, is the issue. The de-
cision does not involve the disorder
of the cadets, except as an incidental
circumstance. Assuredly, it need not
include any approval of their miscon-
duct. 1t does not involve Mr.. swart-
zell's personal character But IL does
involve his executive capacity for this
post.
The facts upon which the decision
must rest raise grave doubt as to
Mr.. Swartzell's ability TO preside over
any high school to the advantage OF
the students. They put out of the
/ question altogether the project
which the community can hardly be-
lieYe was ever seriously considered
Of placing him in charge of the larg-
est high school IN the city.
