In accordance with the usual custom
it is expected that the teachers commit
tee of the board of education will re-
port on the matter of employing the
teachers now in the service of the
schools for another year at the meeting
this evening and that contracts will be
offered to the teachers it is desired to
retain within the next two weeks The
plan of offering the teachers their con-
tracts for the next school year early in
the spring was adopted some years ago
for two good and sufficient reasons. In
the first place the present arrangement
is fairer to the teachers. If they are
not to be employed here another year
they should know it in time to seek
other situations before the desirable
places are filled and before the school
boards in other cities have made up
their lists of teachers. In the second
place it is for the best interests of the
schools. IF the board is to have vacan-
cies to fill, either those created by it.
self or by the designations of teachers
in its employ, the board should have
plenty of time to consider the qualifca-
tlons of all applicants for the places
and should be in a position to make its
wants known before the teachers best
fitted to fill the. vacancies have signed
contracts with other cities. AS a gem
eral rule it is not considered the proper
thing for members of boards to fill va
cancies or make contracts just before
their successors are elected, but this is
an exceptional case and the board
should not be subjected to any criticism
foe the action taken. The members of
the present committee on teachers who
have had an opportunity to watch the
work of the teachers for the past two
years are surely better qualified to pass
on their merits than new committee
could be and it is for the best interests
of the schools that they do SO

Use Aeroplanes TO Hunt Seals.

Difficulty experienced this past sea-
son In locating seal herds in northern
waters has caused the owners of seal

ton to employing aeroplanes in next
years hunt. These craft of the air,
they believe, can scout more cheaply
and with less waste of time than the
sealing ships themselves. Small aero
planes, designed especially for the
purpose, are looked upon as entirely
feasible. Through their use seal
herds will be located and reported to
the vessel, which can then make for

Mazda stood still and looked at the
black object upon the beach. At first
she thought it was a seal, washed
ashore after the great storm that had
whipped up the single in great
ridges all around the lighthouse rock.
Then she saw that it was : man.
She held her breath in terror. Pres
emily she ventured to draw nearer. 1t
was young man, with dark hair and
a pale face, the tan of the neck end

lar disclosed the white of the skin
beneath.
For a moment Mazda did not know
what to do. Then, moved by compass
sion, she knelt beside him and rest
ed his head upon her knees. while she
tried to revive him, chafing his hands
and daahing sea water upon his face.
All the while her heart beat furious
ly. She had never seen a man before,
except some occasional sea captain,
grizzled and bowed, who rowed out to
the lonely lighthouse, and the man
who brought oil and provisions in his
motor boat.
Maida's mother had kept the light
house ever since Mazda was born.
She had lived there alone, tending the
light ceaselessly. worn and shriv-

She had bought books and taught
her daughter to read and write. Often
Mazda had spoken of her desire to
see the world outside; but the very
suggestion aroused the mothers fury
to such a degree that Mazda had
come at last to acquiesce in her lot
as inevitable.
The sea captains, though they looked
at her pity,ngly, had been afraid of
the grim old woman, whose loneliness
had turned her brain. They spoke to
