JUSTICE FOR

The resolution recently adopted
by the city school board to continue
the salary of the city school teachers
while they are attending normal in
s~titutes, is a long step towards do
ing justice to the teachers. The
Herald has several times advocated
earnestly the adoption of such a
measure. The injustic Of requiring
the teachers to attend the normal in
stitutes, while at the same time their
pay is discontinued is manifest. The
teachers are entitled to be provided
for while thus devoting their time
and effort to the work of improving
their qualifications for their profess
sion. This work is altogether for
the benefit of the schools and should
be recompensed by the public school
fund. The state maintains expen-
sive normal colleges, at which tut
tion is free, and pays the expenses of
students who are fitting themselves
as teachers. 1t appears only just
that those attending the summer
normal Institutes should likewise be
relieved of the burden of expense
usually incurred in doing so.
The city school board is to be
commended for its action in taking
this step. 1t has done a just thing,
and the teachers in our city schools
should appreciate this effort on the
part of the board to encourage them
to keep their teaching ability up to
the required mark.
The Herald does not know
whether it is possible for the county
school authorities to adopt a similar
rule, but if it could be done, they
should follow the city boards ex-
ample. The county teachers are en-
titled to the same consideration and
-EhFonrag-nent.

The Corpus Christi Democrat
speaks gratefully and admiringly of
lone Of the finest figs" its editor
has ever seen, which was presented
by the owner of a few fig trees. This
speaks well for Corpus Christi and
the fig tree owner Of course. Down
at Brownsville, however. where the
fig tree flourishes, fig specimens
were never known to be presented
TO the editor in less quantity than a
good-sized basketful. Corpus may
feel proud that it has produced one
fig, however. That's something
for Corpus.

A JOURNALISTIC FEAT.

The editor who got the returns
from the New Jersey primaries eight
or nine hours before there were any
returns should become an applicant
for the Pulitzer prize for the greatest
journalistic feat of the year. Still,
the point might be made against the
candidate that a successful guess is
not exactly the same thing as news,
and that, when it comes to guessing,
the man who manipulates the shore
end Of a grapevine new service is
as likely TO guess right as the man
with an Associated Press franchise.

NAMES PERSISTENT
INDIANS
Who Have Refused to Pass. The Pas
>am0quOddies Town is Much Like
That of White Man.

SO little of the oldtime, red-rover
OF the wood is left to the Indian that
one might pass through the strictly
Indian town of the Passamaquoddies
and not know it from white mans
town, writes Winthrop in the Boston
Transcript. The Indians live in
frame houses, have barns and roads,
fine church building, a good school
house, a railroad station, if you
please. Indeed they have much white
blood as well as other commodities
obtained from their conquerers. Their
tribe no longer increases, and not ten
per cent. of its members are of full
Indian blood; the remainder as much
white as red. Yet you cannot fail to
know it, the copper tint, the jet black
hair, and more than all trick of car
riage, persisting through all dilution.
The full bloods of the tribe are now
all old people and with them are pass
ing the more marked characteristics
OF the race.
Yet today there are reckoned to be
All Passamaquoddy Indians, far more
than the tribe numbered when the
white men first came in contact with
it. Like the whites they were new
comers in the territory about the
beautiful bay Just before the arrival
OF the French discoveries in the early
part of the 18th century, the Etchem-
ms came in from the west and being
more warlike drove the gentler Mic
Macs before them into Nova Scotia.
Hence such Nova Scotia Indians as
survive today are Mic-Macs but the
Indians about the lower waters of
the ST Croix, at Pleasant Point in
Perry and Peter Danas Point in
Princeton are Passamaquoddies or as
they once preferred to be known,
Penangos.
The Passamaquoddies receive an
annual donation from the State, the
sum being yearly apportioned by the
legislature, this year amounting to
$1,000. Six hundred dollars of this
goes to pay their parish priest, $1,000
to pay the six teachers in their little
school and the balance to the upkeep
of their public buildings. care of the
poor and aged and the general needs
of the tribe. In spite of all this, how
ever, and other ways which they have
of earning money, the Indians are al
WAYS poor.
