SCHOOL TEACHERS,

In the city of Cincinnati a most in teresting step has been taken by the board of education in the establish ment of sex equality among the school teachers, which is bound to be fol- lowed with the greatest concern be- cause of the effect which it is ex- eected to have upon education. The hction Is taken upon the basis that there is nothing too good for the schools and if better teachers can be obtained. and better education afford I'd by the selection of teachers upon } merit basis from the top to the bot fom of the list, the drawing of the line between men and women teachers 3hould be eliminated and all teachers }egaES1less of sex, married or unmar- Ged7 should be placed in those posi- lions for which they are the best fit sed and where they will accom- pfish The best results. Cincinnati has re- moved inequality completely There Are to be equal rights, equal pay, equal claims to promotion and equal privi- leges in every respect
 Thus does Cincinnati set out to prove for itself and the many other ttties the value of such a course. It Is a step which has been advocated anu opposed Many larger and many smaller cities have tried to thresh out these problems and have pursued their course, as they believed for the best Interests of the schools. In it's rad fcal step Cincinnati believes it sees the way to better it's schools and it Is going to find out for it's own benefit whether the plan is practical or ideal istic. The best schools possible is certainly 3 goal for which every city should strive and it fails to do its full duty unless that is constantly in mind.

 MT. Editor: It Is evident to the mind of Seeker After Truth that Only a Reader has not entered the discussion with Seeker with the desire to arrive at Truth, but for some other reason. Seeker has come to this conclusion be- cause of statements that Reader has made in his letter of January 18th, which are mere assumptions, and which will not stand the test of Truth
 For instance, he says: Tt must be apparent to you tthe Editor) that Seeker After Truth is only Seeker by courtesy" This is pure assumption. for Reader cannot possibly know what is in your mind. MT. Editor. as he claims to do; and what he means by the use of the word courtesy is not at all clear.
 Another instance of assumption Is this: He says: This passage assumed to be Marks statement was not his'' It Is not possible for Reader to know whether this statement referred to was Marks or not.
 Reader compliments Seeker when he says: His argument shows that he has found the Truth, and is bound tc stick to it." For this compliment Seeker thanks Reader
 The first letter by Seeker After Truth was not written for the purpose of provoking discussion, or opposing ol anfa zonizing the Everybody Eat Church | Sunday, but for the purpose Of sug I gesttng possible reason 3, why the cilurehes were not filled.
 In view Of the foregoing. Seeker Is l. impressed that further discussion through The Bulletin will not be I profitable te either the readers 6f the l paper CT te the writers of the letters | and therefore se far as Seeker is eea- | eefned. the discussion is closed, un- 1 less Reader is desireus to arrive al | Truth, and would like ta discuss the i subject by a personal interview SEEKER AFTER TRUTH, Norwich.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Danqerous Crossinq.

MT. Editor: We desire to emphasize this title as distinguished from "A Dangerous Crossing which headed a letter today-because, as shown in the near accident noted in that. the dan ger exists more in the automobile crossing than in the road crossing.
 The writer is an occasional carriage driver around the streets and roads of Norwich, and has noted this habit of the automobilists, almost a general ing and the autoiSt is within hall, he invariably makes dive to pass be- tween them. As this trick must take one or other of the teams in their rear, the uncertainty of it's safe ac- complishment and the suddenness of the thing is very upsetting to the nerves of any but autoists.
 Looping the loop in an aeroplane only endangers the fiy-man himself, but this threading the needle of the autoist concerns often women and children entirely unaccountable in the performance. There is also another habit that the autoistS are given to. From time immemorial. perhaps, it has been the custom with carriage drivers to have a great sense of the rights of way on the road. As a matter of cour- tesy, horse carriages meeting begin to take their side from the time they near in sight, but your autoist, MT. Ed 1lOi, ndS so much commence III nlS ability, and so much faith in his steer ing gear that in meeting carriage he drives head on until he is within a couple of horse lengths from the team he is meeting before he turns out to let it pass or to pass it.
 This, at night, with two blinding headlights striking the horse and driv- CTS eyes, is very upsetting to the nerves of the occupants of the car riage. This writer's horse is neither very young nor skittish, and yet often in the daytime he has been caused to rear and jump into the gutter, think ing-with his driver-that the auto is full determined to drive into him. II is no hardship for those auto drivers to take their side at the same re- spectable distance a carriage would do; no time would be lost to him. and the faith in his steering gear and his expertness would be more appreci- ated at that distance than closer up You know, MT. Editor, and these auto ists should also learn, that the specta- tor gets finer effect of a work of art by viewing 1t at proper distance
 The same caution should be exercis- ed when two autos meet. An example of what may occur was noted in your list of accidents not so long ago. This letter is written, not so much In my own interest, as to voice the opinion of 8 great many carriage drivers

EVERY DAY REFLECTIONS


Tn the days of our youth the family never sat down to the table without the blessing. All heads would be bowed, and all the chatter of child voices would hush, while father would say:
 For what we are about to receive, o Lord, make us truly grateful. Amen
 Alas the blessing is gone. Nobody gets up to breakfast, or the affair is a movable feast" where one at a time the people appear, snatch a bite and a cup and hurry away.
 There are even many who have their coffee and rolls while lying abed i; of which custom let us say nothing.
 City people eat their midday meal downtown in restaurant or club, where of course. there is no room for blessing-quite the contrary.

A plea for funds for the Yale law H. brary has been made this week by Lii brarian H. W. Winfield, who says that the increased activity in the study of law and the subsequent publishing of law books have flooded the shelves of the college libraries. The Law school has now a mile and a half of shelving in the three rooms of the library on the top floor of Hendrie hall. As about 2S, 000 law books of average size go to the mile, and as the library. including the Wheeler collection of civil law. now numbers nearly 10000 volumes, the li- brarian thinks that the books will have to be accommodated in the fourth di- mension unless quarters are soon found. He therefore calls attention to the fact that to make the Yale Law library equal to the best in the country in AngIo-Saxon law, common and statutory, there must soon be a new library building and a larger invested fund for the purchase of books.

Great things are planned for uni versity school of religion at Yale, and the announcement at the last corpora ton meeting that gifts and pledges amounting close to $350,00 to help carry out the changes involved shows that the movement is well on its way. The gifts include $100.000 for a chair of social service, another like sum for a professorship of the theory and prac- tice of missions. and $S0,00e for chair of religious methods. The endow- ment of the Yale Divinity school, now over s1,2o0,000, in addition ta its buildings, is the largest of any theo- logical school connected with an American university, but Yale needs just as much more to complete it's tentative plans for development. As things are. Yale Divinity has a fine body of efficient teachers under Dean Charles R. Brown. The difficulty, it seems to the impartial observer, is in drawing men. Neither the Yale Di- vinity school nor any other theological school in America is the magnetic cen- the great scientific schools are now. Yale
 The reorganized Divinity school will have three main departments, accord ing to plans outlined by Dean Brown, each calculated to give special train ing to men who plan to enter different fields of work First of all will be the department devoted to the training of preachers and pastors, religious schol- ars and teachers for service in the churches and divinity schools of the country,

LOSE FIGHT ON
TROLLEY POLES
City Comes to Aid of Public
Service in Clash With
SaIoon-keepers.

A strong power allied itself with
the Public Service Railway Company
today in the war that is being waged
at Market and Madison streets to
prevent the erection of two trolley
poles there. The reinforcing force
comes from no less a source than the
city of Newark, for City Counsel
Nugent said today that the city has
given its permission for the installing
of the poles, and no protests, verbal
or physical offered by property own
ers, can avail against the poles being
set
This announcement, 1t was said at
the offices of the Public Service to-
day, should effectualiy spike the
guns of James Murphy and Harry
Englehardt, proprietors of saloons on
the southeast and southwest corners
Of Market and Madison streets. Yes
terday Murphy and Englehardt stood
guard at the spots where II was in
tended the poles should stand and
dared the Public Service workmen
to begin work. The workmen failed
to take the dare and quit the scene,
leaving Murphy and Englehardt IN
victorious possession of the battle
ground
The Public Service did not renew
its attempt to plant the poles to-
day. deciding to wait until the city
officials announced what stand the
city would take in the controversy.
The Public Service men probably
will descend on the place tomorrow
If Englehardt and Murphy renew
their resistance the police probably
will be summoned to aid the Pub
tic Service workmen In performing
their task.

pIeted by Bureau.

search Bureau, of New York, which
has been examining the books OF the
town officials of Bloomfield, will be
presented at the meeting of the Town
Council next Monday evening, ac-
cording to reliable authority The
audit has been conducted under the
auspices of a committee of citizens.
1t is said the report has been ready
for some time, but the committee was
waiting for the Town Council to act
on the report of Town Auditor Sam
uel Fisk. The latter submitted his
report at the last meeting and 1t was
rejected on motion of Councilman
Edward Hughes, the only Democratic
member In the council.
The agitation for an audit arose
when Councilman Hughes criticized
the manner in which the books or
some of the officials were being kept.
Councilman Hughes and some of the
Republicans in the council have had
several clashes over the condition OF
the books and the manner in which
the town affairs are being conducted.
When the Town Council gave per-
mission for an examination of the
books it was with the understanding
that a copy OF the report be furnished
