Ante mi, aquellas dos cabezas

MERIT AND FITNESS.

Recognition of merit and fitness has been reflected in a number of instances where the new administration mas re- tained heads of departments or bureaus of the government service. This char acterize each administration if there is a proper disposition to give the highest degree of efficiency to the business of the various branches of the government. It was for this that President Wilson retained the services of Miss Julia Lathrop, who had been at the head of the new bureau for chfI- dren but a few months. She was se- 1ected by President Taft for the qual- ifications she possessed to administer the office. Politics were not consid- cred and it is apparent that Presi- dent Wilson took the anne view of the situation. There was pressure enough exerted to remove Miss Lathrop, that another might have the place and had the president desired it would have been easily accomplished. but it would have meant the sacrificing of partfcu- lar qualifications to satisfy political demands
 That no change was made is the cause for congratulation. There is nothing about the bettering of condi- tions and the conservation of human resources which demands the political control. The head of the bureau should be a specialist in such a line of work. That Is what was sought and what Miss Lathrop has qualified as and it is well that the president has so looked on the claim for spells.

TARIFF CONSIDERATION.

It remains to be determined how the tariff changes are to be taken up in congress. whether it will be as one measure or by schedules. This inn portant legislation, which is the cause for the extra session of congress, de- serves the closest attention which the national body can give it. It is prop- osition to change a vital regulation which should be thoroughly looked into, given careful consideration and a full understanding of it's plan of operation obtained before it is made law. This can best be done by con- sideration of the separate schedules, instead of a general consideration of the entire bill, by which method the chances of overlooking many import ant features, for or against the proper reduction would be of the best
 The tariff is a. matter in which the president has been deeply interested and he has taken a personal interest in the framing of the proposed bill. He must realize that while it may have the backing of the administration, that it is necessary that congress should have g. clear and explicit un- to placing certain articles on the free list has been manifested and that open declarations have been made to that effect. rather urges the necessity of consideration by schedules. Though it may seem longer process. it means the getting of quicker and better judg- ment thereon. which will prove far more satisfactory in the end.

, couNrRY SCHOOLS.

It is an important point which A. c. Monahan of the bureau of education makes when he declares that it is not fmmi grafton, but the lack of educa- tional oppc rtunities in rural districts, which is responsible for the high rate of illiteracy in the United States. Though three-quarters of the immi- grants are in the cities. the rate of rural illiteracy is twice that of the urean rate, but the surprising disclos- ufe is that the il1iteracy among native born children of native parentage is more than three times as great as among native children of foreign par entage, and the only reason for the existence If this situation is the lack of opportunities for education in ru- ral America.
 The failure of the country school has long been recognized and efforts are underway for their betterment in so far as possible, particularly in such communities as those where the log cabin school exists, and there are 5000 of those in the country today while ther1s are also 226o schoolhouses in which one teacher does all the work. Great benefits have been obtained through consolidation of schools wher- ever it is possible. while the system of supervision which is being estab- lished is bound to have its good re- suits in time. The advantages of the educational facilities in the cities are being steadily increased and it is de- manded in view of the conditions which the country districts disclose that the best of attention should be devoted to bettering conditions there.

TIMMY'S AWAKENING

T actually hate to tell Jimmy about it" declared Jimmys mother, shiver- ingly, staring at the fashionable card with deSpairing eyes. Yes" said Jinmy's father with understanding. Then he added, "Boys certainly are the limit.''
 "Jfmmy's nearly 15.' pursued Jim my's mother" q don't see why he isn't old enough not to act like a young savage Whenever I make him go to party you would think I was casting him into a den of man eating tigers, Nte hear him protest. He says gil Is are ninnies and he'd rather play feotball!'

 T won't say anything about it to him. decided Jimmys mother, dip lomatieally. until the day before. Then he won't have so long a time to object and make life miserable for me!'
 Jimmy's mother had occasion many times in the ten days that followed to be thankful for this decision, for Jim my proved suddenly very difficult to deal with in spite of his ignorance of the fate that was impending. He de- veloped moods.
 The boy stared gloornily out of the window and he pored as gloomily ov CT the contents of his desk.
 Once, to her great alarm. his mother found him sorting out his necktie drawer.
 .'Aw, nethinis he grewled when she demanded to know the reason for this unheard of interest in his attire. Can't a fellow do anything without the whole family buzzing about his ears?
