Teachers and Matrimony.

The board of education is soon to give con-
sideraton to protests from organizations of women
against its ruling, in effect for eight years. which
results in the automatic discharge of woman
teacher in the public schools when she marries The
president of the board holds that the whole point
at issue is whether a woman who is undertaking
new responsibilities can give proper attention to
her school The New York board of education
has subjected itself endless criticism because of
its hard and fast rule that prohibits any woman
who becomes mother from teaching in the
schools. The Washington rule goes ever further,
and both would appear to have been adopted to
save the boards from trouble and controversy.
There is practically no other excuse for such
sweeping, automatic regulations 1t will hardly be
argued that matrimony and motherhood of them
selves unfit women for teaching children, and it
is not difioult to imagine instances where the op-
posite would be true. Every case Is not govern
ed by the same circumstances, and boards of edu-
cation should leave themselves free to consider
cases individually and upon their own merits. At
least it is to be hoped that the Washington Board
of Education viii develop sufficient tact to avoid
embarrassment and ridicule such as the New York
board has invited.

KING OF THE BELGLANs.
Ruler of Devastated Country Tell
of Its Needs.

of Its Needs.
King Albert speaks English perfectly,
but slowly.
Il have been deeply touched by this
other proof OF the generosity Of the Eng
lish people. Again they give substan-
tiaI evidence Of their sympathy" The
King paused. When he spoke again
his voice was lower. Poor Belgium.
now merely the edge OF a nation. appre-
ciates most sincerely all that her gen.
erous ally Is doing"
The practical side OF the sovereign
showed itself as he continued: II know
already how Hospitality my people have
been received in England. In this re-
spect hope the Belgium men who are
there will be given work. This is the
first requisite, for 1 should not wish
that any able-bodied citizen of my coun-
try would become a charge upon a
friendly people. Let them not be pau
periEed II has been the misfortune of
these men that they were compelled to
leave their country that they might lead
those dependent upon them into safety.
In England l know the unfortunate
women and children OF my country are
safe"
Has your majesty any suggestion as
to how the Belgian refugees can best
be helped?"
The need of the present is food and
clothing for those who have been driven
from their homes. In the future II will
be necessary to rebuild these homes.
Then VIC shall want every aid to repair
the havoc wrought by the enemy"
At these words, spoken so feelingly
by the King Of these stricken people.
there flashed into my mind the many
scenes OF desolation and ruin i had wit
messed. The burned homes, the devas-
tation of the battlefelds. the fleeing
multitude cIutching their bundles, all
seemed to pass In review in dim light
OF their inproyised audience chamber.
Even now the distant guns of Dixmude
made a low accompaniment to our talk.
HAS not your majesty a message for
the American people?''
For a minute the King was thoughtful.
II hope that the Americap people will
remember that Belgium has been scru-
pulously exact in carrying out Its obli-
cations as a neutral country. II has
never been our policy TO interfere in in
ternational politics. Like the United
States, we have been concerned only
with our own problems."-Capt. Granville
FOrtescue in the January Metropolitan.

In year of financial and Industrial depression,
happily now being dispelled, the people of the
United States have probably broken all previous
records of contributions to charity. Washington
has done its full share with the rest of the country
in aiding every worthy cause. The Christmas ship,
for the children of the countries at war the Belgian
relief funds, the Red Cross fund, and tubercu-
1osis campaign, the extraordinary demands for the
relief of the unemployed and the fourteen" Christ
mas opportunities presented by the Associated
Charities have all been given generous help by resi-
dents of the Capital Never before has the true
Christmas spirit been more strikinglv and sub.
stantially manifested.

Three horses were severely injured by fall
ing on the slippery streets in this city on Thurs
day that It was necessary to shoot them. Scores
of Others were less seriously hurt. A sudden fall
of snow, after the milkmen and bakers have start
ed on their rounds, means suffering for horses
that cannot always be avoided, but there are ways
of afording them temporary protection until they
can be rough shod. Humane considerations, to
say nothing of the business principle involved,
should prompt horse owners to caution the men
in charge of the animals not to attempt to drive
them without taking some precaution to save them
from broken limbs

Just now there are doctors who trying to
teach people to escape from mental unclesnliness,
to drive out the unhealthy germs of the mind, and
to maintain cleanliness by welcoming only those
germs that are, not the foes, but the friends of
man. Into the subterranean depths they try to
probe as they search for the cause of illness that
is the sure indication of uncleanliness. Often they
succeed. Sometimes they fail, when the patient
sincerely co-operates. For there are those who
for many years have been bad housekeepers that
they cannot recognize their uncleanliness They
are the pitiful cases. But so long they recog-
nze their plight there is hope for them in the pos
sibility of escape from themselves, from the ego
tism that lies at the base of all wrong doing and
wrong thinking and wrong feeling Its mask may
be righteousness itself. Its justification may be
truth. Think, for example, of the parents that in
bitterly furnishing their children for the human
weaknesses they once shared still share, drive
themselves into those family complications that
lead to sickness and misery. The lesson that we
all have to learn that have to keep learning, is
that, by showing mercy to others, grow merci-
full to ourselves. 1t is by discovering the mean
ing of the quality of mercy that man can take on
a reflection of the divine mercy, keeping the con-
sciousness clean.

Perhaps the most salient warnings find
come from those long lines of pain that result
from expression of mental uncleanliness, from
those enmities that once started, last for years,
perhaps for lifetime. Is there enemy in your
mind that every time he presents himself in
thought before you, you suffering? Is there
wrong, seemingly buried, that every now and
then, rises from the grave, and confronts you
making your heart beat faster and faster with
anger, starting all the springs of hate in your be-
ing? Then you are one of the most unfortunate
victims of mental uncleanliness. Your enemy, as
matter of fact is not the wretched creature that
masquerades before you. He is like yourself, a
mixture of weakness and of strength. Your imagi-
nation has tricked him out so hideous1y in order
that it may torment, not him, but you. Further
more is it not possible that you have yourself
done something that has led some one else to make
similar image in the consciousness and to identity
it with youf
