TERMS OF SCHOOL TRUSTEES
SHOULD BE LONGER

The present short term of office of
school trustees invites mistakes and
often results in arresting and destroy.
ing progressive school policies. A ma
Jority of trustees do not serve long
enough to become interested in the
schools, or efficient in their manage
ment Frequently they do not under
stand educational needs. and when
they do, are unwilling to be made a
political target in order to render un-
selfish service. It takes more than
two years for trustees to learn that
real education is not cheap, that school
interests are too important to commit
to amateurs, that teachers cannot
fight successfully the battles of the
children without the sympathy and CO.
operation of parents, and that plans
extending over period Of years are
necessary to the development of an eff

SHOULD coMT ACROSS.
Children Cry Daily For Water at the
Waiting Room of the n. &
T. C. Railroad.

/ The Eagle would like to call the
attention of the officials of the Hous-
ton and Texas Central Railroad to a
very great injustice that is being done
to the travelling public in the city of
Bryan on their part. The suggestion
/ is not made in spirit of criticism. be-
cause we believe it to be only an over
sight on the part of the road and that
they will have the public spirit and
magnanimity to correct existing con-
ditions as soon as their attention is
directed to the matter.
The mater complained of is a lack
on the part of the road to provide
drinking water in the waiting room,
or in fact at any place about the stat
I ion as far as that is concerned. 1t is
very trying on all who have occasion
to wait for trains and especially little
children, to have to go without water,
no matter how long the wait, until the
train arrives and they get inside and
| get water from the coolers in the
coaches The city editor of the Eagle
meets all the day trains in his rounds
for news and there is hardly a day
but what children at the station be
fore the arrival of trains are crying
for water This is a shame and should
be remedied at once. The Eagle be-
lieves it will be as soon as the at
tention of the officials is directed to
the matter If not, then the city
council should take the matter in hand
and see that water is provided and
plenty of it, and that it is good and
wholesome. The delay in getting the
water should not be long either only
lony enoug to go to hardware store
and get n large cOoler n1ace n on a
stand in the waiting room and issue
orders to the station porter to see to It
that it is kept full of good pure water,
and while it is as hot as it is now ice
water.
Anothing thing the cuspidors in the
waiting room are a disgrace to the
town and to the railroad. They are
made of shallow boxes with dirt or
ashes in them and are as unsanitary
as they are unsightly. The contents of
the boxes have not been charged in
weeks and the accumulated filth is
permitted TO remain in them and
pollute the air that all patrons of the
road are compelled to breathe. This is
a nuisance and should be abated at
once.

Capt. Brown prepared to get under

I will call Spiro and tell him what hl

Eogotheti let her clap her hands
and send the steward for her man
and she rose when he appeared ant
made him follow her a little way
along the deck. The interview did moi
last long. She handed him her giassei
and made him look carefully at the
intended victim; then she apparently
repeated her brief instructions again
pointing here and there to the decl
at her feet, to show him how theJ
were to stand; after which she turned
quietly, came back to Logotheti's side
and sat down again.
"He understands" she said. "It will
be quite easy"
But L%ogotheti, looking past her al
she came forward, had met Spiro'i
eyes; and he felt not even the slight
est anxiety for Kralinsky's safety, mol
for Baraka's. He was still wondering
what he should say to Margaret.
At a distance, L%ogotheti had sup
posed that he could somehow account
to the diva for the position in which
he had foolishly placed himself, be
cause he had done nothing and said
nothing that he would have beer
ashamed of before her, if she knew
the whole truth; and he fancied thai
even if they quarreled she would
make up with him before long, and
marry him in the end. He had a good
opinion of himself as a desirable hus
band; and with reason, since he had
been prosecuted for years with offer,
of excellent marriages from mothers
of high degree who had daughters te

ORIGIN OF BRITISH SQUARE
Battle Formation First Used b,
Scotch Troops at the Battle Of
Bannockburn.

The greatest of all Scotch anniver
saries is that of Bannocburn, fought
on midsummer day in the year 1914
Apart from its bearing on the indie
pendence of Scotland, the battle will
always have an exceptional interes
from the military point of view. a.
Bannockburn may be said to have
been the birthplace of the British
square. Proud Edwards" army
mainly consisted of cavalry. while
that of the Scots. on the other hand
was almost exclusively composed Of
foot-folk, armed with the spear. and
these Bruce threw into "schiltroms,'
or oblong squares-a formation Dor
rowed by Wallace from the Flemings
who had employed it with success al
Courtray-to resust the charge OF the
English cavalry.
Hitherto the mounted mail-clad
knight had carried everything before
him, but Courtray and BannockburI
proved that he was powerless to
break resolute, spear-armed infantry
drawn up in 'schiltrom' or hedgehog
formation, and these two battles reyo
lutionized the tactics of the continent
and of our own island. Profiting by
the lesson which had been taught
them at Bannockburn the English ap
piled the tactics of the Scots with
brilliant success at Crecy. and still
more at Agincourt. AS 1t was the
Scots who may be said to have orig
mated the British square at Bannock
burn, so it was they again who al
Balaclava were the first to discard
1t with "their thin red line" and now.
owing to our changed conditions OF
warfare, it is discarded altogether.
