MRS. YOUNG ON TEACHERS

With all the appearances of
school ma'am," Sup't Ella Flagg
Young of the public schools, lectured
to rthe committee on efficiency and
expenditures of the board of educa-
ton last night. She told the body
what was the matter with the schools
and received an offer to back her up
in remedying the ills.

if she has friends who can bring to
bear their influence on the board"
she complained.
Which brought the answer, Bring
us list of the undesirables.
ALI angles of the educational work
were discussed during her two-hour
talk.
Tax warrants were brought for
ward as a means of making up the
deficit which the board must face
and which, it was suggested, might
be made up from the salaries of the
teachers. No action on the salary
question was taken.

DOCTORS TO BE ARRESTED IN
WAR ON DOPES

Arrests by dozens are expected in
the latest angle of U. S. Atty Clyne's
war on the dope traffic. This time it
is the respectable physicians who are
to be hit, not the poor dope peddlers.
The IN. D. IS" are accused Of taking
all of the traffic in drugs from the
hands of the criminals who used to
operate by stealth.
Physicians, officials in wholesale
drug concerns and the dope users
themselves are the objects at which
Clyne has launched $50 federal war
rants.
1--WE expect to arrest tomorrow be-
tween $50 and 200 men who are in
the highest of society,"" declared
Clyne. "They, we believe, are re-
sponsible for the continuance of the
dope trade after the Harrison law
went into effect" N-

Benevolence,

My ideal of human intercourse
would be a state OF things in which no
man will ever stand in need of any
other mans help, but viii derive all
his satisfaction from the great social
tides which own no individual names.
No man can play the deity to his fell
low man with impunity--l mean spirit
ual impunity, of course. For see: IL
! am at all satisfied with that rela-
ton, II it contents me to be in posi-
ton OF generosity towards others, l
must be remarkably indifferent at bot
tom to the gross social inequality
which permits that position. and in
stead of resenting the enforced humili-
alton of my fellow man to myself, in
the interests Of humanity, | acquiesce
in it for the sake Of the profit it yields
10 my own self-complacency. | do
hope the reign OF beneyolence is over;
until that event occurs | am sure the
reign OF God will be impossible

friend, to swim across the lake at Liv-
ingston, he was seized with cramps and
despite the fact that his companion,
Berlyn Treloar, lad two or three years
older, made heroic efforts to get him to
the shore, he sank to the bottom in ten
or twelve feet of water Ordinarily he
could swim fairly well, but the cramps
rendered him absolutely helpless.

And yet and yet, the other world

autumn, when the leaves were browning
and the birds were telling one another
of their coming flight to the southland.

take part About one-third of Poland

Before the first partition the kingdom

BIBLES PLACE IN LITERATURE
knowledge of the Scriptures Has
Been Acknowledged Essential to
Education.

The ignorance of the Bible is to be
deplored for other than religious rea-
sons. It's cultural value is very great.
We have been learning during the last
half century that knowledge of Eng
lish literature is al indispensable ele-
ment in public education; that ''in get
ting to know, as Matthew Arnold con-
tended, 'the best that has been said
and thought in the world" we broad
en- our horizon and purify our ideals.
and thus prepare ourselves for the du-
ties of citizenship Our colleges and
universities have been enforcing this
truth upon us by their requirements
for admission.
But if a knowledge of literature Is
indispensable to the education of a
citizen, acquaintance with the English
Bible is surely fundamental for that
knowledge Washington GLADDEN.
writes in the Atlantic. All our best
English literature is shot through and
through with Biblical quotations, max
inns, metaphors, characters, illusions;
the one book with which a reader
needs to have familiar acquaintance
is the English Bible.
It is ridiculous for anyone to un-
dertake to teach English literature
who does not know his Bible at least
as well as he knows his Shakespeare.
On the pages he is undertaking to
elucidate he will meet the Bible five
times where he will meet Shakespeare
once. For purposes Of critical exposi-
ton, It is certainly quite as necessary
for him to understand Jacob as to I'M
derstaud Shylock; familiarity with
Job is of greater practical value than
familiarity with Paradise Lost

responsibilities.

There is story that Lieut.. Guy
Preston of the United States army
saved his men at the fight at Wound
ed Knee by remembering the senti-
ment OF the old FIR snch proverb:
Nobility necessitates noble conduct"
He was holding his men in line before
the Indians fired Everyone was
looking for trouble OF some kind, but
1t was the unexpected thing that hap
pened
The Indians were lowering about
with their blankets round them when
the signal was given by one OF them.
and in an instant every buck threw
away his blanket and stood revealed
with gun In his hand The red
skins fired. They had every advan-
tage of the soldiers, for they outnum-
bered II EN- and had taken them who'll

They did not mean to run far, but
they needed some sort of cover
But Preston. looking back over his
shoulder to see if the Indians were
following. or for whatever purpose a
man looks back at a dangerous foe,
saw the strap on his shoulder and ex-
perienced a shock
1t occurred to him at the instant
that he was running away with the in
sigma of rank that his government
had conferred upon him; that he was,
In way, the representative of a great
nation, and that he ought not to run.
He stopped. OF course there was no
well-defined object in his stopping,
but when the rest of the men saw
him standing there, without cover.
and returning the fire OF the Indians,
they turned back and in five minutes
it was all over. and the Indians were
beaten
1t would have been nothing short of
a slaughter'had Preston gone with the
rest, for there was no cover until the
top Of the Hill was reached. and that
was so distant that the Indians would
have had an easy time picking off the
men as they ran. Preston's idea of
duty was what saved the day
