Rolfe, March "a lively scrap has
just developed in town, caused by the
action Of the school board, and which
resulted in the principal and the high
school teachers rendering their resig-
| nations.
1t appears that several of the pupils
in the high school have taken the no.
ton that they can stay away from their
classes just as the fancy strikes them,
and that the principal or teachers have
no authority to require the proper eS"
PLANTATION for their absence, while 1t
also seems that some of the parents of
these absentees are encouraging them
in their INSTRUMENTATION. The prlncl-
pal rightly called the delinquenrs to
account, and beng met with sort or
sullen defiance very Justify suspended
them until they could return to school
in the rights pirit, making the suspen-
sion thus indefinite according to the
line of action adopted by the pupils or
parents. The pupils took their case to
the school board for adjustment, and 1t
|
their course. without asking the princi-
pal a question on the subject, but send
ing the boys back to the school to be
reinstated without any deserved pun
ishment for their infraction Of the
rules.
Teachers Resign.
This action on the part of the board
called for consideration by the principal
md 0f the
board came to the school about the af-
fair. these instructors declared their
determination to resign rather than be
thus ignored, which they did at once
On the advice Of the principal, the
teachers returned to their classes tenn
porarily, but they will not remain I'M
! less correction is made by the board.
! The board, at their meeting, passed a
resolution to the effect that the princi-
pal shall not suspend any pupil for
more than one day without the consent
Of the board, and this the principal and
teachers demand rescinded in justice
to themselves. and for the future well
fare of the school.
This trouble is largely attributable
to a speech made by one of the school
board on the day of opening for the
present year, when he is credited with
telling the pupils that they should come
to the board if they have differences
with the teachers.
One Parent Takes Proper View.
One parent of one Of the offending
pupils has taken the right view Of the
matter, and has sentenced his boy to a
season of good hard work until he dis
plays the right spirit of obedience. and
until every parent follows this good ex-
ample We can not hope to make our
schools what they are intended to be. If
parents do not think enough of their
children's education to wish them to
get proper instruction in necessary dis
cipline. it is time the laws of the state
were amended SO as to put that part Of
school work into the proper hands.

innovation by a majority of two votes.
1t us stated that all the civic progress
forces worked hard for the plan, but
the politicians of both parties, the Gin
terests," and the ignorance of the COM
munity united to defeat it.
A long list of New Jersey cities are
soon to have elections on the same
proposition, and confidence is expressed
that several of the important munich
palities of the State will soon be added
to the list of commission governed
cities. ..- 4 :
I, It is not because of lack of civic in
terest, but because of the superior
organization and effectiveness of the
gangs, that Eastern cities are having
so much difficulty making progress with
this new proposal. Pittsburg demanded
from. the Pennsylvania Legislature a
commission government charter, but
the Legislature expurgated it by TAX
ing out the provisions for initiative,
referendum, and recall, and otherwise
ripping it out of shape.
Buffalo likewise lined up decidedly
in favor of commission government
plan, and the New York Legislature
defeated it, also. e.,
Why the State gangs should thus
violently oppose municipal reform that
looks to taking city government out OF
politics is not hard to understand.
The city machine in Erie county tBuf-
falo), working hand in glove with the
Tammany machine in>New York city,
constitutes the backbone of the New
York organization that now controls
in Albany and operates under the direct
bosship of Charles F. Murphy. Like
wise, the Pittsburg organization that
has made that city's conditions smell
to heaven in recent years, must needs
be preserved in order that Pittsburg
and Philadelphia, in cooperation, may
continue to dominate the politics of the
State and maintain the power OF Boles
Penrose.
The time is at hand, however, when
reform will come despite the fight of
the politicians against it. Eastern
cities will not submit to be denied the
benefits of a system that has proved
itself in all other parts of the country.
Commission government of cities, with
the double, non partisan election, will
bring an improvement in State Polit-
ical conditions hardly less important
and desirable than the betterment it
will work for the cities themselves.
Leagues and associations are working
for the new order in Eastern States,
and they will not much longer be de-
MED their prize.
