DR.. DAVIDSON TELLS
OF EVANS DISMISSAL
Former Superintendent of Schools
Testifies in Suit of Former Prin-
cipal for Reinstatement.

DIR. William NJ. Davidson, former SUI
perintendent of public schools, testi-
fed yesterday afternoon at the hearing
before Justice Stafford of the District
Supreme Court of the mandamus pro-
ceeding brought by W. Bruce Evans
against the board of education, to Sc
cure his reinstatement as principal of
the Armstrong Manual Training School.
DR.. Davidson came from Pittsburgh,
where he is in charge of1,the school
system. He told the court that Mr..
Evans was dismissed because he was
lacking in pedagogic and didactic
equipment. He said it was his belief,
and that other educational officials
agreed with him, that Mr.. Evans was
inefficient. He based his opinion on an
investigation, he said, of the Armstrong
school and on an observation of its OPP
Grafton.
The hearing was not ended at a late
hour, so Justice Stafford adjourned un-
til Thursday afternoon at 3 o'clock.
Evans testified in his own behalf. He
told the court that no charges had been
preferred against him, and that he had
no idea his services were unsatisfac-
tory until November 6. 1912, when his
resignation was requested by DR.. Da-
wilson. He told of his long career in
the schools and of his advancement to
the position of supervising principal

the following to say:
You have asked me to write you a

must carry its own explanation with
it. Yet think I understand your rea-
son and am glad to respond.
The first stanZa contains the apos-
trophe to the Deity in language that
may fairly be ella lined to be that of our
own time, rather than that of past
ages-the language that springs natur-
ally to the lips of men who have learn
ed to think of God as science has re-
vealed Him to us, infinitely greater
than He appeared to men of old. but
still heedful alike of greatest and of
least. 1t strives to suggest the bound
less heavens where suns go forth in
rivers, the beautiful green earth, our
home amidst the heavens, the unwear-
led watchfulness over all events, from
the birth of flowers to the fates of
men, and invokes this brooding care,
perfect alike in tenderness and
strength, for this beloved land.

lect wife, his wits have become
sharpened. He has visited at so many
homes of his married chums, hearing
their praises or complaints regarding
home life, that he cannot help having
formed his own line Of thought. He is
inclined to be lenient in his opinions
toward the presiding angel of the
home. If he adds another ten years
to his bachelor life ere he weds, he is
apt to become less tolerant with
woman's idea of household economy.
He wants a wife comely to look
upon. He would pass over many an
other quality in favor of youth. He
knows the advantage of molding wife
to a husbands ways, and expects to
find the head of woman of forty on
the shoulders of girl of twenty. If
he finds she is not we'll up in the art
of cooking, he sets her at 1t. He buys
her cook book, and she is plunged
forthwith into the household tread
MILL not where her husbands mother
began as bride, but where that good
lady left off.
He expects his wife, no matter how
tired she may be from encounters with
the maid, to be just as sweet and
agreeable to him when ne comes home
as in their counting days-with not
even cloud in her sky. He expects
to look over the household bills, sug-
gestihg the cutting down of the gas
bill if it appears too high, or the coffee
bill, which shows few pounds more

making which he gave her before she

passes him his morning cup of cof-
fee. The man who expects the sole
business and happiness of wife
should be to cater to his pleasure,
heroically putting aside all her own
comfort and enjoyment, makes matri-
mony hard road to travel. A hus-
