FRICTION IN THE SCHOOLS.

Is there friction in the public schools
This is an all-important and most Sc
rious inquiry, which must be investi
gated impartially and fearlessly.
If there be friction, what is its nature
how did it originate and to whom is thi.
| friction to be traced?
The Caucasian has been informed that
several teachers, faithful and long in the
service, are about to tender their resig-
nations to the School Board, for rea-
sons which it is unnecessary to make
public, but, naturally, it is only reason
able to assume that teachers devoted te
their professions and having long years
Iof experience, would not think of re-
signing unless they have provocatior
| sufficient for such action.
And as to rumors, these runlors come
from a class of people who do not gen.
Ierally indulge in an idling of words, but
what they say concerning the schools is
with bated breath, as if some caves
dropper would hear their words.
And while on this subject, it may be
said that some members of the School
Board have been appealed to by the
parents of pupils and the friends teach
iers, and these board Omen are not ignor-
ant of the situation.
However reluctant and disagreeable
the necessity of an investigation sor in
quiry the public interest, the welfare of
the teachers and of the pupils demand
that whatever be the cause of the fric-
ton shall be removed.
One OF the essentials of success is that
geniality, harmony and good fellowship
shall prevail between the teachers from
the superintendent down. If there be
friction between the teachers and the
superintendent, or between the teachers
of the same class or of the same school,
the pupils must suffer from such differ
ences.
1t is true that discipline is necessary,
but the discipline which is the most eff
fective and is promotive of the greatest
good, must be directed rather in gem
tie and encouraging persuasion or re-
proof rather than in an aggressive or
dictatorial spirit.
The friction in question has reached
the stage where it can not be dismissed
or IGNORED IF the School Board would
have thorough investigation, the APP
pointment of a committee of three citi-
Gems of character, independent of school
connection may be named and vested
with full authority to ascertain the cause
of the irritation and to suggest such re-
commentators as will secure harmony,
good will and the greatest efficiency
possible for the teachers.

in school work and methods

cHRISTlE'S.
The Aristccrat Among the Great Sales
rooms of London,

Christje's is the aristocrat among
| salesrooms James Christie I'd was a
scholar and an exquisite, and when he
died it was said of him that he had
| profession The tradition has always
| remained. Mr.. Woods, so well known
for years, had to perfection the grand
manner" and there has always been an
avoidance at Christie's of the hyperbole
OF the auctioneer.
Charles Dickens treasures were
brought from Gadshill to be sold with
in its walls. Here. too, in more recent
years was sold the Duke of Cambridge's
collection, and indeed the auctioneer at
Christie's may be said to be the au-
thor of the epilogues of great men.
One of the most amusing incidents
that ever happened at the King street
| rooms concerned well known though
rather impecunious man about town
who had to buy wedding present and
thought he was getting tremendous
bargain when a silver ornament was
knocked down to him for 30 shillings.
But he found to his horror that the bid
ding was so much an ounce and that
the vase was appallingly heavy.
The first Duke of Westminster was a
persistent habitue of Christie's, but as
matter of fact it is generally the bat
tleground for the great dealers, the
Duveens, the Durlachers, the COMA
ghiS and the WertheimerS, who rise"
tens of thousands of pounds by move
ment of the eyelid. always imperturba
BILE, always unrutfied.
Christie's. too, has a steady follow
ing of elderly ladies, who occupy the
same seats and with no intention to
buy make occasional bids, trembling
with fear until some one outbids them.
The Saturday sales have been popu-
lar with the professional and business
man with few hundreds to spend and
with little leisure, and this class will
regret their disappearance.
The first large sale at Christie's was
that of the Bernal collection in 1856.
the amount realized being f70,954. The
most sensa tional sale of all was that of
the Hamilton palace collection in 1882.
For seventeen days the auctioneer was
engaged in knocking down articles of
art until a grand total Of f337.5 62 was
realized.
From the sixties until the beginning
of the present century the following
notable auctions took place at Chris
ties:

DENIES 1T AN INJUNCTION.
United Typothetae Makes Unsuceess-
full Application.

Justice Mccall. in the supreme curt
O.. New York, last week denied the
qualification of G. Lawrence Fell, presi-
dent of the United Typothetae of
America, for the continuance of an
e.-parte injunction restraining the
International Printing Pressmen and
Assistants Union of North America
and allied printers unions from re-
fLsing to carry out an agreement
made last January with the typOthetae.
Former Justice Steckler, who recently
appeared for several of the printers
Unions, contended in his argument be-
f,,re the court some time ago that
the court had no jurisdiction to grant
such an injunction, and that the issu-
arce of such injunction was Illegal.
MI. Steckler declared that men could
rot be forced to do work when they
Gid not want to. Mr. Fell argued that
the unions had violated their agree
nents.
Justice Mccall, in denying the mo-
ton for continuance of the injunc-
ton. said that he had serious doubts
