lnbreeding in the Schools.

According to the Federal Bureau OF Education
'inbreeding today is the blight of many school
systems in this country The tendency OF cdr
catonal authorities IN cities when hiring teachers
to give the preference to graduates OF their own
training schools is held up to reproach. Any
hoard of education, it is said, should insist upon
the selection each year OF at least one-third OF
the teachers from outside its own city
These observations OF the Federal Bureau OF
Education might well be given wider application
In other branches OF the city government the
ice would be benefited if more competent out
siders employed. The practice of combining
appointments to municipal positions so largely
to residents OF the community is a survival of the
injurious old spoils idea.
American governments generally, as we'll as
American school systems, have been suffering
from what the Federal Bureau OF Education terms
nbreeding. In the city administration depart
ments the situation is worse than elsewhere ex-
ccpt when well-appled civil service laws exercise
a beneficial influence, for not even all the resi-
dents of the city arc given chance to secure
positions.-Chicago News.

The Seamen's Bill.

Editor of The Washington Herald: In
your issue Of March you have lengthy
article under the caption, New Law
Perils Score of Pacts.' In this article
you are endeavoring to analySe the sea
mems bill cannot help expressing my
regret that the writer of the article has
not taken the time to acquaint himself
with the real facts The clauses dealing
with and pledging the United States to
be a slave catcher for the shipowners of
foreign nations are in almost every in
stance a part of the consular conven-
tons. 1t is under the terms Of these con-
ventionS that the United States has con-
suls in other countries. and other coun-
tries have consuls in the United States.
The rights. privileges and duties Of con-
suls arc laid down in these instruments.
and they are altogether too important to
the commercial world, and to the tourist
world and for other reasons that were
better unspoken at present. to permit OIL
any idea that any nation would permit
its consular convention with the United
States to lapse without providing an
other to take its place. The drafting OF
a consular convention is not a difficuit
matter. They are nearly all alike. Re-
taliation? For what? Because the United
States in its moral awakening insists
upon applying the letter of the thir-
teenth amendment to its Constitution by
abolishing involuntary servitude within
its jurisdiction.
The moral force of this emancipation
declaration will compel the admiration OF
every real man and every real woman
in Europe when the facts are brought be-
fore them And you really ought not to
encourage any hopes in those who are
being deprived of their slaves. that they
NAV be able to in any way interfere with
the amending of treaties in accordance
witb the terms of the treaties themselves.
