curse. Nowhere has system so vaunt- ed itself as in supervision; and mo- where has it's deadening, whitening and destructive results been more pro- nounced than in the supervision that simply interferes. Everything for a system that will fortify and strengthen the chief officer of the school, the pa- tient, overworked and ofttimes ill-paid teacher at the desk, but nothing what ever for system that exalts itself over the child; that makes it's glory more important than the children themselves; that substitutes interfer- ence for supervision and boasts of its corps of supervising lnterferers, over riding principals and undoing the pow CT of teachers to do what they are fit ted to do and which they would do but for the off1cious interruptions of the -zealous, imprudent and overpaid supervisors. I have tried in my bill to safeguard all vital and essential super vision, and have tried with equal ener- gy to rid the Washington system of all useless supervision and to strengthen
 the hands of principals and teachers, Every power added to these two agen- cies is, in my opinion, an added power
 to the possibilities of the schools.

MERIT SYSTEM FAILS. EXAMPLES OF THIS. National Educator Quoted as Being Urn1alterably
 Opposed to It.

According to the so-called merit sys- tenn, great power is placed In the hands of supervisors. How supervision has worked in other cities may be shown by what Representative Morrell, of Pennsylvania, said in his speech on the Reorganization of the School System of the District of Columbia"
 The published fact that the teachers ! of New Haven are against having their salaries put on the merit system has called forth considerable adverse com ment. Partial supervisors, the teach CTS say, are the reason that they do'not want the merit system.
 Supervision.
 All extraneous supervision is abol- ished and the necessary vital super vision of the schools placed in the hands of q real superlntendency and the principals of the schools. One of the greatest evils of the Washington schools, and, in fact, growing evil in all schools--has been the multiplication Iof intermediate supervising officers. The practice has made bureaucrats of the superintendents and machines of tho principals, without any correspond ling gain to the system. There has been a gradual weakening of the real seho- llastic ability of superintendents and principals, resulting in the filling of high schools with pupils not properly prepared and the world with graduates unworthy of the degree. Principals have been so shorn of their legitimate power as to become mere automatons, and the disintegratlng work has gone on downward in an undue interference with teachers that paralyzes their indi- Ividuallty and units them for the only work for which the schools are created 1.-the education of the children of the Hand.
 Supervision has run riot, not in its Igenuine and legitimate sphere, but in ever-present interference and superfi- cial control. There is a general com lplaint throughout the country as to over-supervision, that supervision that invades the jurisdiction, not only of principals, but of the teachers them selves All such supervision is inter- ference, and as such is curse to the schools. In the last analysis the teach fer is the school It is from the teach Ter, in his daily and hourly contact with pupils, that all true education must spring. Everything else is system. As is the teacher so will be the school. Great and costly buildings are effect i've; costly and profound supervision has it's legitimate place; but the real educative power-the sole agency for which all systems exist-is the vital educative element, the teacher in the grade. Every part of @ system that helps the teacher is invaluable, while as a corollary, every adjunct that in- vades the teachers sphere, interferes with his scholastic Judgment, or de- stroys his individual identity, is a

Where parting will be no more.

This proposed action Of the Geor-

the times. The tendency in some
quarters is to regulate everything by
law, even to the conduct of indivi-
duals. Instead of this the effort
should be to train the young to walk
the path they should walk and the
morals they should observe and there
will not be so much need of law. We
arc trying to do by statute law that

AS TO STREETS.

we arc Slau 10 sec tHul our Coteu-
porary, the Observer, is in favor Of
improvin" the streets, but we do not
see how it is going to be done unless
some money is spent on it, and the
Spcnuin" of money in patch FORK is
simply waste of the public funds.
We have been advocating the paving
Of the section Of street from Friend
to the public square for the reason
it is a small and narrow section and
is Travelled by nearly everybody who
comes to town and VIII" lives in town,
and for the additional reason that it
could he done at comparatively
small expense and would give every
body an opportunity to see what
nicely paved street i. w" did not en-
poet that the work would stop with
this section Of street, but that it
would be- extended to other streets as
rapidly rs possible. Certainly "there
is no more reason why The tax pN-
cr> should pay for fixing Caldwell
they should fix Main from Caldwell
to AdamS or B"ycc from Caldwell to
Adams. or other sections that might
be namcI.' -
Wha! we want is to sec city council
start somewhere. 1t is impossible for
the city of course to pave all Of the
streets at one time, and any section
which is paved would be of benefit,
not only to the property owners
along the section. but to the city at
large. but if we wait until we
pave all The streets at ihr same time,
null,;nu will ever he done. We do not
endorse the statement of our contcm-
rurarN, that "thc chief benefit Of
improvement will be realized by TIE
owners Of the contiguous property.
The benefit [" thc tax payer at large
would be only remote, in most eases,
very rcmotc.'
We regret that nur contemporary
takes such narrow view of street
Improvement. and if that view is
carried out, we will never have any
streets improved. As Il matter Of Fact
the Improvement Of any street in any
part of the business section ct the
city. especially, will be Of benefit T."
all the citizens. The people who own
contiguous property do mot use the
streets any more than those who d"
moi rwn such property.
One reason this particular section
Of Caldwell street has hrcn mrnt1"n-
cI j. that the property owners. II WAS
understood. agreed T." pay Tor the
matcrial if the city would do the work,
We do not see any special reason
whv they should be called upon to a."
this. but we are perfectly Wiling I"
any proposition that will give MS eV-
on a small section OF nicely paved
street. Tor we believe that IT Will lead
to more extensive work "i inns Elh"'
We are willing for the city I" select
any section OF street and make BE-
rinninu, but if we wait for them |"
