Time Abuse of System.

This figuring in Of time lost by
teachers. through suspensions and
leaves Of absence, in estimating the
time for retirements is considered by
the Controller to have been one of the
greatest abuses Of the system.
The law requires thirty years SER
vice for ordinary retirement and TWEEN
ty years in case of disability. One
teacher who had actually served only
eighteen years and seven months was
credited with twenty-four years and
eleven months through figuring in six
years and four months continuous
leave Of absence prior to retirement.
Another teacher was able TO retire
under the twenty-year rule only be-
cause there was credited TO her four
years and four months of time when
she was absent on leave.
The teacher who drank liquor during
her working hours and is now enjoying
a pension was retired in February
1908. This action was recommended by
the board of retirement and approved
by the Board of Education after she
had been moved around from school TO
school four times in less than four
years, and notwithstanding the follow
ing record taken from the minutes Of
the board Of retirement:
Questioned by Superintendent Max

the heart and was suffering great pain
one day, SO / went to this place and
had a cocktail in the drug store. The
man who keeps the drug store was a
pupil Of mine His wife makes these
cocktails"
Would it have been known by the
people in the school that you had been
drunk ?" asked Mr.. Maxwell.
Yes" she replied.
In reply to question from Egerton
l.. Winthrop, then president OF the
Board Of Education, she admitted she
had taken flask of liquor into the
school
Another teacher acknowledged at a
hearing that a district superintendent
had told her she would have TO retire
because she neglected her duties"
The teacher who continued TO
teach after she acknowledged disa-
bility in order that she might later
get larger pension NAL her applica-
tion in June, 1911. Under the estab-
lished rule Of the board sh would or
dnarily have been placed on the pen
sion rolls the following September at
S634.38 a year-half of the salary she
then received After talking with Su-
perintendent Maxwell she remained
until the following February. Her
salary having been increased in the in
te-vening January, she was retired on
s93S.3S.
This is the record On the minutes of
the board Of retirement:
Mr.. Maxwell asked:
Miss , you are applying too
soon for retirement"
Il am sorry have TO apply so soon.

COLORADO PUBLIC OPINION"
"A daily which calls itself the
''World's Greatest Newspaper" sent
a reporter to Colorado with John D.
Rockefeller, Jr. This reporter has
been sending back stories laudatory
of young John D.-quite naturally,
for that is what he was sent to do.
One of these stories starts thus:
Colorado public opinion is tickle.
John D. Rockefeller, Jr., name
hated in every section of the state one
week ago, is the most popular indir
vidual in the commonwealth today,
if the Colorado newspapers accurate
~ reflect public opinion"
The rub is in the last phrase-for
when did Colorado newspapers ever
reflect public opinion accurately?
With the single exception of the
Denver Express there is not news
paper in Colorado that dares to reflect
public opinion accurately = or that
even dares to print the news truth
fully! Publishers who try to print the
news in Colorado soon find that they
can't borrow money for their papers
at the banks, and editors, not own
ers, who try to serve the people gen.
orally find themselves looking for jobs
after month or so. ~.
That is why Colorado newspapers
are published by politicians instead of
newspaper men.
That is why there isn't any effec-
tive public opinion in Colorado-it
has no means of expression.
That is why it is safe to assert that

CHAPTER XXIII,
A Few Points About Half Tones.

Engravings, rule, ndiscriminately referred
to as cuts " whether they be half tones zcetcings
whatnot Half tone engravngs probably the most
used. These the kind that look like photographs
They must be made either from photographs wash
drawings They of greatest value in Photographic
reproduction. s@.:" ~: =. ....*
A half-tone is called because it permits not only
of black and white such for instance ordinary read
ing matter allows but it also makes possible nterme
diae tone between the black and whe-in other words
gray In fact, the half tone presents many different
shades of gray In that way, it accomplshes photo
graphic reproduction. &*-.. *S.*....-
You readily understand how a black impression
can be made piece of paper and how not printing
anything certain portions of white paper will leave
white space But to how the half Tone with the
metal surface prints black here and gray right above
that is the puzzle. .... ~
The half tone is made with a sensitized plate. They
put between this sensitized plate which is in the
and the is the photograph wash
drawing which is to be reproduced. This is
simply piece of glass divided by many diagonal lines
running from upper left to lower right which lines
ntersected by similar set of lines running from lower
left TO Upper right Thus, you see, these lines divide the
into little diamond shaped islands." In other
words the lines would hide from the sensitized plate
corresponding lines the copy And would expose to
the senstzed plate the little parts of eopv which
could peek through the little open islands between
