CRITICISM OF THE SCHOOLS.

Evansville seems to be pestered
with the affiiction when has been
visited on Paducah. A Paducah news
paper, which had for its shibboletn,
a cry of chivalry, attacked the schools
until discipline was made practically
Impossible. Then another began a
systematic abuse of the superintend-
ent under the coaching of a member
of the board, who helped elect the
superintendent. Against all these vi
cious excuses THE SUN alone lifted
its voice, and now citizens are ask
ing for the retirement from the
school board OF the men responsible
for the trouble. Observe that in the
following editorial the Evansville
Courier deplores criticism of the
schools, not school trustees, who are
public officials, and have themselves
done everything the Courier warns
the public against.
Says The Courier:
Criticism of the schools, some
seem to think is just their old army
game of knocking everything for
which the taxpayers foot the bills. AS
a matter of fact thousands OF dol
lars are spent each year for criticism
of the schools. Every day the schools
are under criticism. Principals and
supervisors spend their time most
advantageously for that purpose.
"They are constantly criticising.
but they have the two warrants of
all decent criticism:
81. They are competent.
49, Their criticism is in the inter-
est of the schools and not for their
destruction.
at Is time for the people who pay
the bills to consider If they are to
let every Thomas. Richard and Har-
rison cause disaster in the schools.
Shall we expend 100000 and more
a year on an institution. which we
shall let any one play hob with n
Shall we permit disgruntled and in
competent teachers and a newspaper

History brings strange reversals as
we'll as logical repetitions. A CEN
tury and a quarter ago we had COM
missioners at the capital of France
begging for hearing, that a treaty
might be entered into by the two
countries, while the "citizens" treat
ed the western republic with naughty
contempt. At that time Germany
was a group of independent mon
archiss. Now the little western re-
public, grown to a giant, mas all
Europe about her ears on account of
tariff restrictions, which the young
giant enforces, needless of the
Glamour from the other side. oddly,
too, the German war lord has en-
tered into a tentative agreement of
two years duration, by which the
present condition is 10 remain effect
i've, while an effort is being made for
reciprocal arrangements. France, on
the other hand. is raging at America
and threatening to get even. Per-
haps, if Frenchmen would read his
tory they would be a little more
lenient toward this country, while
our own country, grown great, should
not inject too much arrogance in her
attitude toward Europe. Germany is
quite considerate and patient, her
policy, possibly, being dictated by
the conduct of France; but such a
ooncillatory attitude should be re-
warded, and the senate should at the
earliest opportunity ratify some con-
sentative and just treaties awaiting
its action.

We talk complacently of state
rights and local government, de-
nounce federal interference in our
local affairs and get up our backs at
the inference that we are not capable
OF administering justice to ourselves,
and yet when a condition arises like
that now existing in Caldwell county,
we know It would surprise us If the
county grand jury should take decid-
ed action, and the thought insistently
occurs to us that the only salvation
for such situation Is resorting to the
federal courts.
