MATERNITY AND TEACHING
A Reader Considers That the Two
Are Incompatible.
To the Editor of The Tribune

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Many OF your readers think that
YOU handle too severely the Board or
Education in regard TO their treatment OF
Mrs Peixotto and other teacher mothers.
II is the duty OF the board to secure
adequate service from teachers. Child
bearing means interrupted work and d.
verted mind. II requires substitute teach
ers. who give often inferior service. IL
thus breaks up the growing mutual inter-
est between teachers and scholars which
is a help to efficiency in teaching. Con-
tnulty of service is essential.
Suppose that a clergyman accepted
call TO a church and then opened gro
Gerry store? Would there not at once be
aroused complaint and opposition on the
part OF his people? Why? Groceries are
necessary and the grocery business is
honorable is there not, then, an attempt
TO penalize the pursuit OF the grocer? No.
II is simply the incompatibillty OF the
two pursuits.
Thus with broken service and diverted
attention and strength IT is plain that ma
ternity and teaching are not well yoked
together. JOHN X. JONES.

The Police and the Election.

The Mayor does well in directing that the First
Deputy Commissioner of Police shall henceforth

work There Is unmstakable need of such de-

attempted violation of the election laws have oc-
Cured This last day Of registration will probably
see many more, and then Election Day will
come efforts TO complete the crooked work of the
registry days well to execute other tricks ar
ranged for that day Election officers specially
charged with the detection and prevention Of these
crimes, but however vigant they may be they can
not fully control the situation without the co-opera-
ton of the police.
Ii Is this fact which marks with menace to the
public welfare all schemes for injecting politics
into the police force. The members OF that force
should be In the performance of their duties As
partial judges upon the bench. The extent to
which they could interfere with and influence cleo

abstained from doing So and have strven for fair
and honest elections. But that has not always
been the case, and it will do no harm and will be
no reflection upon any good man in the service for
the Mayor to require general tuning up OF the
department for election work and the holding Of

WHAT YOUNG MEN HAVE DONE
With Some Reference to the Fusion
Candidate for Mayor.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: VIII you kindly publish a few
instances in which men younger than
John Purroy Mitchell achieved great
success in war and legislation?
william Pitt became Prime Minister
Of England at the age Of twenty-four.
The old members of Parliament accused
him OF tho "atrocious crime Of being a
young man." and yet he was ten years
younger than the fusion candidate for
Mayor.
When Napoleon was suspended from
the command OF the artillery OF the
army and complained OF Ill treatment,
the authorities told MIN he was too
young for such a position. His reply
was Characteristic: "One grows old very
quickly on the field OF battle" The fol-
lowing year he became commander OF
the Army OF Italy, at the age OF twenty
six-eight years younger than Mitchell
Mention might be made OF Alexander
the Great, of Hannibal. OF Cesar Angus

States. At the age of thirty-two JEFF
ferson wrote the Declaration OF Inde-
pendence, and at the same age Hamil-

produced. In fact most OF the worlds

The Captain of the Ship.

The young, thirty six-year-old master Of the Vol
turno went through a baptism of fire which few
gray -headed shippers can parallel. And he came
out of 1t with a record for great hearted work
against overpowering odds of which any man,
ashore or afloat, might be proud There will be
hearty approval for the news that he il not to
lose his command.
The straightforward story that Captain Inch told
unconsciously revealed his stanch fight 1t also
made clear the fact that high level of courage and
control prevailed among the passengers and crew OF
the voturno. a crop Of sensational reports always
springs up In the wake Of disaster The hystercal
minded always seem to see cowardce and panic and
mismanagement
When the clear headed reports arrive only the
natural confusion remains Nobody looks for per-
feet order blazing sinking vessel. But from
what Captain Inch relates and from every reliable
report the disaster to the Voturno refresbingly
free from black incidents and ugly actions.
Like a good seaman-a member of a craft that
knows no distinctions Of flag race when distress
cas-Captain Inch gives all praise to the brave men
who saved his passengers and crew. wild nights
work superbly carried through on every side. The
courage that ruled the stricken Voturno met its
equal in the small boats that braved night and
wicked weather to save lives in peril.

Another Zeppelin Disaster.

The exploding of Count Zeppelin's masterpiece,
the L2, in mdair coming so closely after the loss
Of the Ii in a hurricane over sea, is as tragic in
its own sphere as the disaster to the Titanic. 1t
is too early to speculate the cause IT, indeed the
exact cause will ever be known, for this time none
of the voyagers lives to tell the tale.
Flames burst amdshps. point hitherto consld-
cred least vulnerable in Zeppelin airshps, as the
engines 100 feet forward and aft of the middle
belt The testing of the quck-firing gun mounted on
top of the hull over the open hatchway, might
have produced the spark that ignited any escaping
hydrogen In that event, the hatchway should have
been closed before the experiment
An explosion amidships would also follow spark

of these two possible there is conceivable

Kaiser and Crown Prince.

The German Crown Prince is more imperial than
the Emperor. Or perhaps we should speak of the
Prussan Crown Prince and the King. for the matter
is more strictly Prussian than German. The soy
eregn is content with his son-inaw's promise not
to organize a secession Of Hanover from Prussia,
while the prince thinks that his brother-in-iaw
should be compelled in addition to take formal
oath Of remuneration of the Hanoverian crown for
himself and his heirs forever; something after the
manner of Harold the Saxon swearing over the
saints bones.
In this disagreement between father and son
Prussan history is notably repeating itself. The
present sovereign was conspicuously in opposition
against his father and If "Unser Fritz was not in
opposition to old Kaiser Wilhelm that was because
his high sense of flia duty restrained him from
any open manifestation to that effect, for he was
well known to be entirely unsympathetic toward his
fathers militant and absolutist policy.
The incident is not likely to disturb Prussian or
