Imogene, wife of E. Nj. Glidden. well
known travelling man, died Sept 10th at her

some time previous, was her niece, Mrs. Mary

A Grand Old Man.

Not long ago a New York woman
gave a reception, which was attended
by her friends. in honor of a domestic
who had been in her employ for two
decades 1t was held to be such an
unusual occurrence that even the press
associations sent out stories com.
memoTating it. 1t was a case OF a
good worker and a good employer, but
nothing out of the extremely unusual
still both parties to the contract are
to be commended.
Today The Herald publishes story
from the United States Bureau Of Edu-
cation giving the record of William w.
Cottingham, OF Easton, Pa. one that
is unique and worthy of the most laud-
atory things that can be said, not only
about Mr. Cottingham, but OF the good
people OF Easton.
Mr. Cottingham has been superinten-
dent Of the city schools of the Penn
sylvania city for sixty years. Think
OF It! A lifetime teaching. There
must be many hundreds. yes thousands.
OF young people whose future have
been guided by this one man. He has
made a record for himself that is a
model for every one. He is the bright
star in the armament, one whose rays
can be used as a guide by all who are
seeking to live a life that will be a
credit to the country generally.
Such a record is a monument. One
that will live in the hearts of those
whom he guided when the more mate
rial things will be forgotten. 1t shows
that there are still men who think
more of their work than they do of
riches. Hats off to Mr.. Cottingham.

Give the Boy a Chance.

The case of the young cadet at West
Point will excite universal sympathy,
The principal appointee having failed
in his physical examination, on account
OF an operation for appendicitis, his
alternate underwent both mental and
physical examinations with great credit
and entered the Academy. In order
TO supply the necessary funds, his par
ents mortgaged their home and made
other sacrifices. being happy, neverthe-
less. because their sons ambition was
fully gratihed.
But now the other candidate, having
recovered from his debilitation, has
been granted another examination, and
has met all the requirements. 1t now
seems as if the alternate must be eject
ed from the Academy. Without dis
cussing the official leniency which al
lows a re-examination after rejection,
there would still be a considerable
measure of injustice to the successful
alternate if he should be sent home
Some way should be found TO accom-
plish his retention The circumstances
OF the case appeal strongly in his be-
hall. besides which the army needs
good officers.
The boy should be given full oppor
tunIty because he has made good.

Population is the chief end of Ameri-

Population is the chief end of Ameri-
can cities.
Population consists solely and entirely
of people. American cities collect peo-
pie as misers collect dollars.
All dollars look alike to misers, and
all people look alike to the city. which
| is painting 10 cross the 10000 mark in
the next census.
II a city can collect enough crippled,
anaemic, underfed, and unwashed babies
together, with the nondescript parents
of the same. to boost its population fig
ures 5000. il is pleased and proud as IL
II was doing something to make these
folks worth while.
When a city has doubled its popu-
lation in ten years. the whole country
applauds and exclaims. Verify. here Is
another Chicago Let us go hither and
grow up with II.
And yet half of the people in that
city may wish they were dead
Population is the chief curse OF the
American city II the census hgures

measure success in some other way. II
We didn't have any eensuses American
cities might some day be Dragging OF
their per capita wages and savings bank
deposits. Commercial clubs might be
ejecting factories which ground up
workmen too carelessly, and Chicago
might some day boast that IL didn't
have a house without a bathtub. Mo-

unanimous now that the celebration
should be as vast and splendid as pos
sible, the surviving soldiers of the two
great contending armies being the
honored heroes of the past battle and
the present peace.
That the veterans of the battle now
living in the District should be pro-
vided with transportation and main
tenance, as are the veterans of the
several States, seems a matter of
course. For the veterans in the several
States, their State governments pro-
vided whatever moneys were deemed
necessary. The Districts government
being vested in Congress, it seemed not
unnatural that Congress would make
the same provision for the Districts
survivors of the battle.
But no. Beyond providing debate
in which gesticulations not too dignifed
were more eloquent than the spoken
words, the resolution to appropriate
died a violent death, with its earnest
author apparently solitary in the san
guine expectation of resuscitating it
While the people of the District may
have to content themselves with
cynical reflection that their veterans of
Gettysburg are age-chastened to the
philosophic endurance of the greatest
disappointment of their fading lives,
the incident exempli6es the anomalous
position in which Congress can and
does frequently leave the District.
Surely, in this present case, Congress
will see that its refusal to appropriate
$1,000 to pay expenses of the District
veterans looks like neither the practice
of economy nor the principle of provi-
dence, but like an irrational discipline
OF some aged men whose only offense
has been that a previous administra-
ton invited them to a national celebra-
ton, and that they, forgetting their
lowly residence in the National Capt.
tai, set their hearts upon going.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE Is. 1918.
Close the Departments.

There will be no criticism from any
source if President Wilson accedes 10
the suggestion that the governmental
departments be closed on the morning
of July 5.
The national holiday falls on Friday.
1t seems unnecessary to open the de-
partments from Q o'clock to noon or I
o'clock on Saturday, for Saturday aft
ernoon is a regular half holiday. II
the departments are closed on Satur-
day morning the loss TO the govern
ment would be infnitesimal while the
benefit to employees by the granting OF
an uninterrupted holiday would be suf-
fcient to make the closing order a
good piece OF economy for public in
terest.

Aviation's Death Toll.

Prof. Langley, pioneer of heavier
than-air machines, conducted his ex-
periments at Whitewater on the Poto-
mac over a considerable body of water.
The object, of course, was to minimize
the danger of loss of life in the event
that the aeroplane fell during its flight.
The wisdom of Prof. Langley's plan
was shown few days ago when Lieut..
Towers of the Navy dropped from a
height three times as great as that OF
the Washington Monument and still
lives.
When Lieut.. Selfridge was dashed to
death at Fort Myer he only was about
eighty feet in the air, and had the ex-
perimentS OF the Wrights been con-
Quoted over a body of water a valu-
able life might have been saved.
The question OF restricting expert
mental air flights to the vicinity of
bodies OF water is one that may well
be considered with all seriousness. 1t
probably is true that man will yet fly
with the safety of the bird, but the
continual loss of life indicates that the
time has not yet arrived.
1t would be we'll for Secretary of
War Garrison and Secretary of the
Navy Daniels to consider the advisa-
bility of issuing orders which at least
would throw around the hazardous ex-
periments a modicum OF safeguard
Each of the secretaries knows that if
not tomorrow then next week or next
month the service must lose another
life.
Each OF the secretaries is aware
that if the duty OF the aviator were
tenfold as hazardous he would not hes
itates an instant, for he regards the
air in the same light as he would a
hostile army or the feet of an enemy.
Neither modern warfare nor the
preparations for it should countenance
recklessness, nor fail to add every pro-
lection possible to the soldier and the
sailor

Uncle Sam Parsimonious.

However commendable the economy
of the House in denying an appropria-
ton asked to provide means for the
District veterans of the battle of
Gettysburg to participate in the semi
centenary celebration of that decisive
struggle, there will be a consensus
among the people that once the Federal
Government had oountenanced the cele-
bra;ion, there was little excuse for
frugal festivity.
Even if doubt as to the ACCESSIBILITY
were a present issue in debate upon
the proposed appropriation, the time
of the celebration is so near that dis
cussion upon that feature would be
futile. While many did believe, and 4
considerable few do believe, that the
centenary celebration might renew dis
sessions rather than end them, all are

Heat Near the North I'ole.

From Harper's Magazine.
July was intolerably hot. We had nc
thermometer, but 1 feel sure that many
a day the temperature must have been
above 100 degrees in the sun, and some.
times for weeks on end there was not
a cloud in the sky. At midnight the
sun was what we would say an hour
high. so that it beat down on us with
out rest the twenty-four hours through
The hottest period of the day was about
o'clock in the evening, and the coolest
perhaps 4 or in the morning. The
mosquitoes were so bad that several OF
our dogs went completely blind for the
time, through the swelling of their eyes,
and all of them were lame from run
ming sores caused by the mosquito
stings on the line where the hair meets
the pad of the foot. 1t is true that on
our entire expedition We had no expert
ence that more nearly deserved the
name of suffering than this of the COM
bined heat and mosquitoes of our Cop
permine River summer.

SCHOOL HEAD SIXTY YEARS.
Supt. CottinRham, of Enston, Has
Unique Record.


Easton. Pa, can claim a school super
intendent whose term of service rivals
anything here or abroad. as far as is
known. Sixty years in one profession
Is in itself remarkable enough, but when
it is added that Supt. William W. Cot
tingham's record is of sixty years in
the same position his case appears I'M
paralleled.
Although few superintendent can point
to anywhere near as long a term of
service as this, there are a number who
have served many years. A list of some
Of the more notable cases is given by

Of Education. just issued. Supt. James
NJ. Greenwood, of Kansas City, Mo, is
retiring after thirty-nine years OF serv-
ice; Supt. Glass. at Lynchburg, Va. has
served since 1879; Supt. Phillips at Biz
mingham, has served since 1893. Supt
McClymonds has been at Oakland since
1873: Jacob A. Shawan has been super
intendent at Columbus. Ohio. for twen-
ty-four years; Henry Snyder, at Jersey
City, n. j., for twenty-one years, and
Charles NJ. Jordan, at Minneapolis, and
Charles w. Dean, at Bridgeport. Conn,
both for twenty years.

When Charles W. Cole died last year
he had gwen thIrty-four years OF MS
life as superintendent of schools at AL
bany, n. Y. position which his father
had held before him for a long period of
years.
Notwithstanding that life tenure is by
no means an accepted principle in Amer
lean school systems. the average term
of school superintendents in larger cities
is much longer than Is usually supposed.
In fifty cities of 10000 population and
over. the average term OF service Is
seven and a half years. This is in spite
of the fact that school superintendents
are elected for comparatively short
terms-one. two. or three years gen.
erally-and to have served long usually
means to have withstood many a stifr
reelection contest. The tendency is con-
stantly toward longer terms and liked
tenure as conducive to efficiency.
