IS BLESSING
Instead of National Peril,
Says Chicago Educator
Of Race Suicide.
.FATE's CRUEL DECREE

Springfield, ILL.,, Dec. 27.-"Instead of
national peril race suicide would
be national blessing in some classes
of the people," said Superintendent
w. l.. Bodine, of the compulsory edu-
cation department of the Chicago
schools, in an address today before
the state teachers association. Large
families resulting from inconsiderate
and improvident marriages are prolific
of much misery and social harm. Fate
DEGREES that small incomes almost al
ways go with large families. This
drives many husbands to drink and de-
sertion. Truant husbands make truant
children. The mother is forced to
work and the children are raised for
the street and the state. We cannot
change human nature. We have the
childless home among the rich and
the homeless child among the poor.
Modern individualism has the right to
govern its own domestic affairs. Some
prefer quality to quantity; others are
fanatics on progressive patriotism.
Real race suicide is the growth of
child slavery caused by parenthood
that raises children as human commo-
dities and whose ambition Is produc-
ton instead of education"

Clerk Faust reported that up until
noon yesterday fair percentage of
the occupants had made arrangements
to take out new lease and more were
expected to appear this morning. Some
of them, however, think the price Is
too high and will either take a chance
at getting them back at lower price
in the auction or drop out altogether.
AS President Buchanan rendered such
excellent service in disposing of the
three horses sold several weeks ago,
he will probably officiate as auction

was made, and according to the stall
holders the greater part of the
amount had been paid as it came due.
This dated back before the present
board was elected and was discovered
at the time they were trying to
straighten up the account and get the
books UP to date. 1t was afterward
discovered that the larger part of the
amount had been collected by the au
ditor but an intelligent statement has
not been kept Clerk Faust made
repeated attempts to get the facts, but
up to the present time statement
has not been received.
FUNDS MIXED.
The main trouble however, is that
the funds of the different departments
is the reason some of the employees
have not been getting their salaries,
as the accounts were said to be over
drawn. The appropriations are all
made in separate funds by the council,
and there is no reason why salary funds
should be used for anything else.
When Sarver called for his salary Sat
urday morning he was refused on
this account. The exact amount of
his salary was appropriated, as was
that of the inspectors, the craftsman
and other employees, and there is no
money there that could be devoted for
anything else. These funds were not
kept as they should have been and
consequently other funds have hardly
been touched, as of course, the money
is all there but cannot be transferred
at this time to where it belongs.
STRENGTHENING MATTERS.
About the time. these discoveries
were made, Auditor Ashbrook was
taken seriously i'll and has not yet
got back to his full duty. The mayor
appointed Mr.. Shaffer to straighten up
the affairs in the auditors office and
he is still at work. Mayor Turnbull
told Ashbrook at the meeting that
since this man has been at work. he
has not been giving the Office any at
III ILAC esooAoINhS
was given a vacation and Mr.. Shaffer
is obliged to transact all business that
comes up. The mayor said Ashbrook
did not have the authority to give any
one a vacation and instructed him to
have it terminated at once.
AUDITOR WILL MAKE STATE
MENT.
Mr.. Ashbrook stated last night that
he had been at the Office in the morn
ings for the past two weeks and
thought he would be able to put in full
time, starting next Monday. He said:
81 am now at work on a complete
statement of affairs in the Office, in
Guiding all the funds which are in
dispute, and / expect to have 1t COM
pleted by Monday evening. l have
been placed in wrong position, but
think this statement will explain
matters to the satisfaction of all"
Chairman Hall. of tht finance COM
mittee, who was present, stated en-
phatically when questioned concern
ing the meeting that he knew nothing
about it. Member Folk also refused
to make statement. The mayor has
his mind made up on these affairs, and
warm time is looked for when he
and the servers clash this morning.
This action may seem sudden, but al
though no public statement was made
at the time, he gave the board a talk
ing to several weeks ago, but seems
to have been utterly disregarded.
