ABERDEEN'S RESIGNATION

London, Sept. l3.-The Dublin CORE
spondent of the Daily Citizen sends an
uneonfirmed rumor to his paper of the
resignation of the Earl of Aberdeen as
lord lieutenant of ireland and con-
meets it with recent secret visit to
Ireland of the Duke of Connaught and
the proposal of Earl Loreburn for "a
discussion between the Liberals and
the Unionists looking to a settlement

will be worth something TO have that
protection. and the city will in that
way be assured as complete independ-
nee AS if 1t were actually operating
its w plant from the boiler on.
Mention was made of flat rates as
opposed to meter rates. The concern
which makes bid on II fiat rate must
of necessity, for its own protection,
make its rates high enough to cover
the maximum service, whether that
maximum is likely to be reached or
not. If a grocer We're to contract to
supply a family with all its sugar for
Il fixed sum per year he would have
to figure as the consumption all that
the family could possibly use, other
wise he would he sure to fall behind.
The same thing is true of electric or
any other sort of service. And the
fiat rate would lead to constant fric-
ton over the question whether or not
the lights We're on for the full time
required by the contract. All this
would he avoided by the meter rate.
And it is as easy to figure on the ba-
sis of kiloWatts as on that of hours or
gallons.
The general disposition of the coun-
Gil last night appeared to be to get
at the facts, and to use those facts
as the basis for its future action. That
is sensible. and it is the course which
would be followed by any sensible
man in the management of it's "
business. If 1t can be shown tina the
city plant operated by the city can de-
liver the goods for approximately the
same rates that are asked by others
for the same service, then the senti-
ment of the people will undoubtedly
he IN of having the city con.
tinue to do the work directly. If. on
the other hand, it is shown tina a
substantial saving can be made by
letting the contract to n privte indi-
yidual, or a corporation-even though
c a was expressed that a cor
poration might come along and swal-
low us-the people will approve a de-
cision to save their money by securing
the service in the cheaper. way.

AS TO TEACHERS,

New York Times. Recurring to the
subject of teachers and the curiously
mitisated respect in which, as a ella IS,
they are held by other people, it may
be worth while to note what may be,
and probab bly, is. the underlying rea-
son for the general refusal to see in
them the safe guides which unoues-
tfonable superiority to ordinary folk
in knowledge and morals ought to
make them.
That the eacher suffers from too
much association with those to whom
he speaks on all subjects, if no as a
final authority, at least as one not to
be contradicted, has often been admit
ted by members of the teaching pro-
fession. What they almost never con-
fess, however. is that they suffer still
more from an imagined necessity to
establish for and maintain over their
pupils a "discipline" that utterly con-
fuses right and wrong, treats trifes
as momentous, violates natural laws
of growth and development, trans
poses ends and means. and uncon-
sciously but effectively, serves the
teachers convenience at the child's
terrible cost.
The notable "disciplinarian" is one
VINO has banished from his classroom
all signs of the physical restlessness
which is characteristic of normal
youth, who has suppressed all initia-
tive except his own. and who COM
mands the 'unquestioning obedience
which is the truly horrible thing of
which fatuous parents as we'll as fat
uous teachers SO frequently boast as
If it We're a noble achievement. Tn.
questioning obedience in armies is adj
mlrable, because necessary to the at
tainment of purposes compared with
which even the soldiers life is neeli-
gible. In schools, the children them
selves are the objects of all action,
and the more automatic their behavior
are forced into compliance with an
arbitrary, artificial and despotic code,
the more seriously are they injured.
And always the upholder of such a
code is himself among its victims. He
loses the sense of protection, the APP
probation of relative values, the ahil-
ity to discriminate between the trivial
and the important. He becomes, in
short. "academic,'' at best a somewhat
comic figure, out Of touch with real
the last person to whom
anybody goes for advice when con-
fronted by a serious difficulty. More
often than not he commits the ulti-
mate absurdity of boasting that he is
behind the times-is an observer Of
tradition. 1t will take something very
different from the attainment Of the
presidency by a teacher to change
this situation and to win for 1.-THE pro-
fessor' something better than a kindly
smile.
