DON'T SMELL HIM, LEARN HIM."

From Western city comes the announcement
that the school board has decided every applicant
for position as teacher must pass physical exanl-
ination. Now comes Pennsylvania town and puts
ban on any school teacher dancing during the school
term.
But what is being done to demand and secure a
higher grade of teachers-fully equipped with knowi-
edge and fully able to impart it to pupils? What
must be the answer when the average annual wage
of school teachers is less than the average annual
wage of the most menial, unsked and totally gnor-
ant aboring classes?
We require school teachers to do too much fol-
de-rol, while they may not be able to spell, write, or
do a sum in mental arithmetic; they supposed to
be an amateur nurse, chaperon, half-baked doc
tor, board Of health and spiritual adviser-and then
if any time or talent remains be teacher.
We have much sympathy with the woman who
received note from the village school mistress say
ing please give Willie bath, he doesn't smell
NICE" and replied, willie amt no rose; don't smell
him, learn him"
She touched the weak point of our modern edu.
cational system.

McNamaras themselves gave him reputation for
infallbility. AS result Of all this, public opinion
convicted Darrow the moment he was accused. The
outcome of the proceedings against him was re-
garded SO certain that what under other circum-
stances would have become a trial Of nationwide
Importance has failed even to awaken general in
terest.
Doubly gratifying to labor and to all who fear
that the courts servants Of any special class must
be, therefore, that while public ignorant Of the
evidence expected and might easily have been led
to demand--a verdict Of guilty, the judges charge
was distinctly in favor of the accused and jury
composed mostly of well-to-do, if not wealthy, men
acquitted him at once. II is proof that the courts
themselves want to be fair; and that il is not the
courts partialy but the system Of judicial procedure
we follow that gives opportunity for the rich and
influential to escape the consequences of their wrong
doing. In this particular trial there more
made the familiar charge that the authorities had
framed up" case tc discredt labor and labors

is refuted.

show that as recently as year ago

system. which was the basis Of alleged

Attorneys for the packers have con-
tended that when the old pool dis
solved all old practices were aban-
doned; that the National Packing
Company was formed not to continue
the alleged illegal methods but merely
to care for thirteen smaller concerns
bought up by 1.-The Big Three"
Now the prosecution is planning to
prove that thru the National Packing
Company the test cost" method was
in force until asshort time prior to the
returning otat%%s Indictment in Sep

tiate the claim Of the government will

Fairy's Power.

Once upon time a man who lived
out Bloomfield way did an unusual
service for fairy queen. l don't r.
member exactly what 1t was: perhaps
he stepped into drift to let her pass.
At any rate she said to him In graft.
tude:
Sir. for your Kindness will re-
ward you by granting you three wish.
es. Name what y:u desire most in
all tho world and 1t shall be yours"
The man who lived out Bloomfield
way thought a moment. He ought
have lived out South Orange way or
down Elizabeth way or ever Arlington
way. but 1t happened that he dwelt out
Bloomfield way. and ~ this is . true
story. must tell 1t exactly a. 1t was.
He thought moment. and then no
thought another moment. making two
moments all told, after which he said:
Il wish people would quit eating
peanuts in the street cars. It gives
the cars such q vegetable air, and
besides, 1t is very harmful. for. as you
know. people should have cheerful sur.
roundings at meals"
On bearing this request the fairy
queen vanished In fash Of flame
with deafenins report. and the next
time the man got aboard = car to 90
to his homo out Bloomfield way, the
passengers were still eating peanuts
and the car had a breath.
