times came to us when II would seem we
were not prepared to make changes" she
replied.
In answer to the testimony OF the de-
Tense that Dr. Chancellor had been an in
tellectual stimulus to the teachers, 1t
was brought out that the teachers did
much for themselves by study before DR..
Chancellor came. and that lectures were
given in the schools before he came.
On cross-examination. she was asked
about lectures given by former superin-
tendents and she told Of some.
Has Mr.. Hughes given any lectures
since he has been assistant superintend-
emit? Has he ever visited the schools?"
Mr. Fulton asked.
Mr.. Mcnamara objected. Mr.. Fulton
maintained that if the superintendent
should be held to have a duty to visit
schools, the assistant superintendent
should also have a similar duty The
question was not admitted.
AS to DR.. Chancellor's lectures. which
witnesses fo- the defense praised, the
witness sad: II have found very few

guilty conscience as to your troubles last
year" Capt Oyster stated to a large
number of teachers who were present
None of US on the board could compre-
bend the anxiety you experienced last
year. While it Is your fault. to certain
extent. for not speaking out, it Is all the
more Gfedit to you that you suffered for
the sake of the schools. for the superin-
tendent we were mean enough to bring
to you. After Mr.. Stuart refused to con-
tinue in the position he had held we
looked outside for superintendent. 1
hope God will forgive US this time. We
will endeavor to study your interests in
the future

Mr.. Johnson stated that he appealed
to DR.. Chancellor to modify the order re-
garding the discarding of "fraif text

impression that the discarding of SO many
textbooks would create such an emer-

to give a large deficiency appropriation
for textbooks. He said that DR.. Chancel-
lor had neevr interpreted his courses of
study, although help was needed to enable
the principals to properly direct the
courses At the meetings Of supervising
principals, of which three have been held
by DR.. Chancellor. it was testified DR..
Chancellor did not ask about the work
in the schools. and seemed to be indif-
ferent as to learning anything about local
conditions.
< Educational Topics Ignored.
Mr.. Janney said that he had never seen
DR.. Chancellor in the schools of his divi-
sion. although he had heard the superin-
tendent visited two of them once with
the Engineer Commissioner. He stated
that at meeting Of supervising principals
at his house, which Dr. Chancellor at
tended. not an educational topic was dis
cussed. At another time, he said, DIR.
Chancellor called a meeting for 10 O'Clock.
He appeared at ten minutes before II
o'clock: said he did not know what the
meeting was called for, and that he was
in a great hurry, and went away in ten
minutes
II called a hundred times to see DR..
Chancellor and never did see him. Mr..
Janney stated. 81 can't recall that DR..
Chancellor ever made suggestion of a
supervisory character to me-.
''What would you think Of the efficiency
of superintendent who would do that

FOUND ALL THE LIARS in TOWN
Information and Impressions Gath
cred by "A Tax Assessor on
His Rounds.

Carl Corner, editor Of a paper in Dekalb
county, Indiana, served as tax assessor
for two years and gained considerable IN
side information about people in that To-
cality as we'll as some impressions which
he prints in this breezy fashion:
Years Of experience in the world. and in
the newspaper business, made us think
that we knew something of the world. the
flesh and the devil, But we have added
new knowledge In the last two years. You
could not induce us to take an office Of
this sort If a thousand-dollar salary were
attached to it. and Il was handed to us
on a silver platter. We know when we
have had enough. We never want another
job of that kind II we should live a thou
sand years. .
No man can do MS duty in this office ac-
cording TO law and equity without mourning
the III Will of some one, A large per cent
OF the people want their neighbor to pay
the burden OF taxation and they are ready
to furnish a long list of reasons why they
should not figure conspicuously on the tax
list. We have learned one thing that there
are people who will wilfully misrepresent
and deceive the assessor In order to save a
few cents in taxes and will boast Of their
ability TO shirk the burden that society
places on every man and commit perjury
IN so doing.
J When SOM people face the assessor they
forget their religion and send their con-
science out on a vacation,
An assessor can tell you how many liars
there are in his community II he dared,
ard the list would create a sensation II II
was published. It's bad enough to deceive.
but it's awful to boast about II. Our opin-
ion OF human nature has been on a steady
decline for the last two years and the
doctrine OF human d%epravity appeals to
US strongly.
We have heard town people curse the
farmers for not giving In their property
