ow Cornell Settled Question.


81 will tell you what Ne did at Cor
nell University In the way of settling
this question before we had a PEN
sion fund The pension fund was
given to us only few years ago by
a friend of the university; but before
that we had been compelled to re-
tire six or seven professors on ac-
count of old age. Nearly all of them
needed their salaries to live. They
had been very faithful servants OF the
university, and teachers of students
some of them from the foundation of
the university. I asked the board not
to pension them of. but to provide for
their retirement at 20 and the appoint
ment of each professor as professional
lecturer and that the duties of each
septuagenarian professional lecturer
be fixed by the president of the uni
versity. That was adopted unani-
mously by the board.
ST then saw these gentlemen one by
one and read the statute, and said
that I wished now to make arrange
ments with them for their work.

Another gentleman told me he
would like to lecture two hours a
week from the opening of the term in
September until Thanksgiving, and
he would then go to Washington or the
south for the rest of the year, as 1t
got too cold for him in the north. And

carneeie's 100000 Gift.
On the 18th of April, 1905, Andrew
Carnegie of New York placed 100000
600 in per cent bonds of the United
States Steel Corporation in the hands
of board of trustees who are to use
the income to provide pensions for
/ Irff
Canada and Newfoundland.
The following is an extract from
the letter which was sent to the board
! of trustees:
81 have reached the conclusion that
the least rewarded of all the profess
sions is that of the teacher in our
higher educational institutions. New
York generously and very wisely pro-
vides retiring funds for teachers In
her public schools and also for police
men. Very few indeed of our colleges
are able to do so. The consequences
are grevious. Able men hesitate to
adopt teaching as a career and many
old professors whose places ought to
be occupied by younger men can not
be retired.
Divided Into Three Glasses.
ST have therefore transferred to
you and to your successors as trustees
SO. 100000 per cent bonds of the
United States Steel Corporation, the
revenue from which is to provide re-
firing pensions for the teachers O.
universities, colleges and technica
schools in our own country, Canals
and Newfoundland, under such con-
ditions as you may adopt from tim'
; to time Expert calculation shows
that the revenue will be ample for tn
purpose.
"The fund applies to three classe

to race, sex, creed or color. We have

COMMISSIONERS MUST
APPOINT SUPERVISORS

That the appointment of road
supervisors is mandatory, and that
the county commissioners can not as
sumo the direct supervision of roads
in their respective districts is the
opinion of Attorney General John D.
Atkinson furnished L. R. Byrne, pros
ecuting attorney of Mason county.
The law makes specific provisions
for the duties of the road supervisors
and the county surveyors, which
would be rendered nugatory if the
commissioners should fail to make the
appointments of road supervisors.
The attorney general also holds
that timber on a road right-of- way
for which the property owner has
given the county waiver belongs to
the owner of the property abuting,
the county acquiring only the right
to use the land as road.

Judge Joiner Neutral

Judge Joiner came over from Ana
cortes New Years day and attended
to some miror court matters before
returning home Wednesday. He is
taking an entirely neutral position in
reference to the proposition of Bel
lingham attorneys to ask the legis-
lature to attach San Juan county to
Whatcom for judicial purposes and
allow the district two judges. Judge
Joiner finds his duties here very
agreeable and he has no desire to
sever his judicial relations with this
county. He comedies, however, that
there is more judicial work in What
com county than one judge should De
expected to do, and also that it
would be easier for San Juan attorn-
news to reach the court at Belling-
ham than it is at Mount Vernon.
Bellingham attorneys will probably
endeavor to get an additional judge
allowed Whatcom county without IN
cluding San Juan.

The first electric street light in
~ Friday Harbor illumined the
intersection Of Spring and Main
streets, at the old court house cor
ner, for the first time the evening OF
Jan. 1. 1t is bright arc light and
is furnished by the company free of
charge under the terms of its fran
chise. If the people of the county
seat want any more street illumina
tion they will have to pay for it, as
they ought. And how will they do it?
"What is everybody's business is no.
body's business" The town having
no corporate government there is no
authority for levying tax to pay for
lights, grade streets, provide for fire
protection, build sewers, or make any
other public improvements The Is
LANDER has long favored the incor-
poration of the town for the sole rea-
son that in no other way can public
improvements be secured which the
town greatly needs and which would
add We y materially to the attrac-
tiveness of the place and the the val
ue of all property here. Why not
have public meeting of business
men and property owners to discuss
the incorporation question in all it's
aspects? If the sentiment of the
people proves to be against it, the
matter would of course have to rest
for an indefinite period, but if favor
able it is none too early to begin the
good work.

4T the request of State Superin-
- tendent Bryan, Attorney Gen.
eral Atkinson has officially replied to
six questions concerning public school
management, the questions covering
as many disputed points among teach
ers. Following are the answers:
The jurisdiction of teacher over
the school children begins when they
leave home and ends when they get
back home.
The principal of school has juris-
diction over the school grounds at all
times, including holidays. and pupils
may be punished for acts committed
outside of school hours if the effects
of such acts reach within the school
room.
A county superintendent can only
issue permit to teach until the date
of the following examination, and in
event of the failure OF the teacher to
pass the examination the permit can
not be extended.
If temporary certificate is issued
by the county superintendent unlaw-
fully, it gives the holder thereof no
authority to teach.
Mandamus is the remedy to compel
a county superintendent to enforce
the compulsory attendance law. The
statute also provides a fine for vio-
lation of the law through the refusal
of the proper officers to enforce it.
At the recent meeting of the state
teachers association a number of res
olutions were adopted favoring
changes in the school law, as follows:
Changing the time of taking the
annual school census from June to
February; establishing a graded sal
ary schedule; permitting cities of
10000 and over to levy ten mills with
out special election, instead of five
as at present; that new buildings be
approved by the county superintend-
ent or competent architect; that
the constitutional limit of two terms
as applied to county superintendents
be removed; that an allowance by the
state of $40 for library purposes be
authorized to each school whose dist
rict appropriates like sum, q meas
ure more particularly for county
schools; a reasonable credit for night
school attendance; a commission to
revise and codify the school laws; to
compel county commissioners to main
tain truants and incorrigibles at par
entail schools; allowing cities OF the
first class separate Institutes; author
ization of a levy to liquidate indebted
ness of district before consolidation;
increasing number of places for hold
ing teachers examinations in count ties
where necessary; recommendation tor
two additional holidays for the reason
that same are state holidays, towit,
Washington's birthday and Memorial
day; authorizing county superintend-
ents to expend 500 annually for coun-
ty directors meeting, same to be paid
by county commissioners.
