NAGGTNG A SCHOOL PRINCIPAL.

Even more than the public school teach.
sr is the public school principal liable
to criticism, largely because he is the
paid servant Of the people, but even
more largely because he has to act as
the final mentor Of somebody else's
children. The principal is rarely
found who is not subjected to more
or less hostile remarks, deserved
or otherwise; and it is fine display
OF self discipline on the part Of the prin-
cipal when he is able to retain his com
posure and conduct his duties as his
best judgment dictates Now and then
the worm turns. The retiring principal
Of the academy at Ludlow turned, and
on the occasion Of the recent graduation
lie went SO far as to criticise the people

lions toward him and for the difficulties
which they had placed in his path during
the past two years. In no other town,
be declared, had more obstacles been
placed in his way Needless to say, the
remarks caused considerable Of sensa-
ton in Ludlow because Of their direct
ness.
Opinions win vary as to whether It
was good taste Or not for the retiring
principal to thus free his mind but the
fact remains that whether true or not

Mrs. Smith visited the court

Editor Spokane Press-Plaese in

the prosecuting attorney of this
county.

the future to turn over any body
coming under my charge to any un-
dertaker, but simply have the body
removed to proper place. where

Quoted
After the investigation is COM
pleted the body is turned over to
the relatives or friends of the de-
ceased.
If no relatives or friends are
found, the law provides that the
coroner should bury the body at an
expense not to exceed SIS.
In my opinion $40 is no exorbit-
ant price to pay for burying the
county pauper dead.
King county pays $40. Whatcom
county s., Pierce county $3.50, and
/ have failed to learn of any county
in ;he state that gets their pauper
dead buried free of charge.
Should there be an undertaking
firm in this county that is willing
to bury the paupers free of charge
it is perfectly satisfactory to me,
and every paupers body coming I'M
der my charge will be entrusted to
them for burial. H. E. Schlegel,

action in the premises.
The mayor has also learned that
there is trouble brewing in the
crematory department, but he is
hoping that it can be headed off
before it9gets too serious. Wise
ones say the crematOry affairs are
in such shape that an investigation
is sure to come.
Mayor Pratt said that there have
been no applicants yet for the new
position of city purchasing agent,
created by the city council. 1t is
known that several have their eyes
on the job, which pays 5000 per
month, but the city council must
also be reckoned with, as they have
the power of confirmation of the
appointment.
