his connection with the public schools
of the state and he knows whereof he
speaks. But his opinion in this respect
is not the result of deductions on the
part of one man alone. There are
many. others who think with him,
some of whom have so expressed
themselves and. others who, while con-
WINGED themselves, are too timid to
take decided stand in the matter.
There is little doubt that the exan1i-
nation Is in many respects a barbar-
GUS institution. Education is, In the
last analysis, only a means to an end,
a process of gradual mental develop
ment, a plan by which each day the
mind is broadened. To expect a child
to pass successfully. on details which
1t has used only as mental food and
forgotten for five, six, seven or nine
months seems not only unjust, but
ridiculous. The consequence is that as
examination time approaches there is
a examining of matter into the mind,
mental Indigestion ensues and, not in
frequently. even the brightest students
are injured physically.
In the big world where results
count. man is not examined at the
end or each year as to his work dur

Der of his work and endeavor at the
end of each day Is what counts, and
so 1t should be in the preparation for
this real work. DIR. Schaeffer de-
serves to have his hands supported in
his fight against an institution that has
outlived its day and the inception of

THE CHARLTON CASE.

Indications are that Porter Charlton,
the wife-murderer will go scott free
The limit expired recently to the time
during which Italy was entitled to ask
for the extradition OF this man, so that
he might be placed on trial for the out
rageous crime he committed and which
he has confessed. Italy having failed
to make this request, there is nothing
for the New Jersey authorities, who
have Charlton in custody, to do but
warrant for them to hold him longer
unless he should be so insane that it
would be a menace to the public to
give him his liberty. And the chances
are that his relatives and friends would
fight any such proceeding just as hard
as they would have fought to prove
him insane if his extraditon had been
threatened, or at his trial if one had
been held in Italy.
The stand taken by Italy in this case
is scarcely understandable. Her duty
to civilization demanded that she
should make every effort to return this
murderer to the jurisdiction of her
courts Of justice. If there is some
loophole in the treaty between the
United States and Italy which does not
facilitate the extradition of criminals
from one country to the other, it
should be stopped up in short order.
But anyhow, Italy should have made
the effort to get this man to her shores
for the purpose of bringing him to JUS
tice for the dastardly crime he COM
mitted. And If the United States had
put any insurmountable blocks in the
way of his being returned, the criti-
cism would properly have been laid
against this country for thwarting the
ends of justice. All this is profile
NAUTICAL and needs no discussion.
Not so with Italy's part in the af-
fair. Her failure to demand the ex-
tradition of Charlton shows an utter
disregard of the proprieties of the case,
If it is to become precedent in the
handling of such cases. it may reason
ably be expected that Italy will soon
become the bloody mecca of folk from
other chimes who are anxious to put
such OF their relatives and friends as
they can entice within Italian borders
out of the way. For the Italian au-
thorities seem to care no more about
catching such criminals than they dc
about getting them back to Italy after
other police officers have taken the
trouble to capture them.

just: but the wicked shall be filled with
acknowledgements XII:H.
Surely no greater reward could any
man want than that nothing of evil
shall happen to him. Solomon. in the
words quoted above, points out that
such a reward is within the reach of
all 1t comes to those who are just,
who treat their fellow men with full
justice in all things.
To be just, though, is not easy. 1t
is probably well within the truth to
say that most people have a desire to
be equitable and fair in their dealings
with everyone. At the same time
there is a strain of selfishness in each
and every mortal. more pro-
nounced in some, to be sure, than
In others. but it is in everybody's
makeup. And in catering to this little
demon of selfishness, injustice is per-
mltted to creep in. 1t is a natural
failing. a human frailty, that all men
and women should be looking for just
little bit the best of it They cam
not all get it. of course. But in their
striving for 1t, they frequently en-
croach on the rights of others. Many
OF them don't set out to do this thing.
Often they don't realize that they do
it. They may have the sincerest In
tentions to be reasonable in ali things.
But in their hurry and haste they for
get, and their forgetfulness works in
jury to others.
Most of the injustice in the world
between man and man is eneendered
between employers and employees.
Both sides are guilty of 1t. Employees
frequently expect more in the way of
remuneration than their abilities or
their services are rightfully entitled to.
Because they don't get what they
think they ought to receive, they ac-
cuse their employers of injustice, they
do even poorer work as time pro-
crosses and in the end they find them
selves out of employment. victims of
their own folly On the other hand.
though. employers. or most of them.
have not any too fine a regard for the
rights of their employees. Occasionally
their failure to extend full justice to
their employees in all things is the re-
suit of carelessness. More often it is
but the outcome of an employers de-
sire to fatten his bank account and get
the greatest possible return that he
can from his employees at a minimum
of expense. An employer of this type,
however, does not achieve the success
he would if he showed his employees
more consideration in all things.
There would be few of the disas-
trous strikes that occur with frequency
nowadays, If employers accorded to
their employees that which they know
in their own minds to be suitable and
proper; and also If too many employees
were not unreasonable in their de-
mands. p
HE who is not just is severe" wrote
that discerning philosopher, voltaire.
This is an expressed truth that it
would be well for everybody to keep in
mind.
