The whole thing evolved around the
question of competency. The d.

attention to the tendency of some
parents to think they were better
judges Of teaching methods than
people who were trained in tha,
pursuit. While he did not want to
appear as belittling any mans bust

Harrinton was a miner and Mr..
Lierly toolsharpener, and asked if
they could be expected to know a
great deal about school affairs.
The case was watched with interest
by local school teachers as one bear.

question at bar with them was
whether school directors could dis
charge a teacher in rural district
without giving the teacher a chance
TO be heard in defense.
Attorney Nourse announced that
he would ask for new trial, and If
denied, that he would appeal the
case.

KAISER SELECTS
WIFE'S BONNETS
Paris Newspaper Sees in This a
Good Augury for Peace
of Europe.

Chicago. May 29.-A telegram to the
Daily News from Paris says:
Dispatches from Berlin announce that
the Kaiser chooses his wife's hats, and
the Temps sees therein a favorable sign
for the peace of Europe.
This interesting feature of the
Kaiser's private life It comments, is
perhaps of historical and political sig
nifcance. An Emperor who goes to a
miIIiner's with a view OF presiding per-
sonally over the selection OF several hats
for the Empress and the Princesses is
evidently neither greatly troubled by
parliamentary tumults nor likely soon to
disturb the peace Of Europe.
IA monarch who amuses himself so
politely in the bosom OF his family seems
to promise the people tranquility One
easily sees that William II Is indeed Ger
man Emperor. King OF Prussia, the rep
resentative Of Divine right, and the de-
fender OF the ancient axiom that the
Kings viii Is the supreme law. Other
wise, he would not dare to mlngle in
such thorny questions as the choice Of
q womans hat"
