TEACHERS FEDERATION-
Both my personal investigation Of
the present trouble between the
school board and the Teachers Fed
Grafton and numerous articles in
The Day Book on the subject lead
me to ask a few questions and make
a few comments thereon, which I
hope your general reputation for
fairness will enable you to give space
in your publication.
Granting that the school board is
trying to down the Teachers Fed
Grafton, we are in duty bound to
seek an answer to the question
"Why?" The Day Book and the fed
Grafton claim that big Business" is
trying to get at the federation be-
cause of the tax fight made some
years ago by the federation against
big Business" and that the school
board is being used as the tool The
school board declares that the fed
Grafton is trying to dominate the
school situation, and do it in its own
interest, rather than for the good Of
the school children.
What evidence do The Day Book
and the federation bring to prove
their contention? I have read The
Day Book carefully and talked long
with Miss Haley and other members
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1916-07-19

If people want to vote as Catholics
and Protestants, that's THEIR bust
ness, and not mine. But, if they do
it, they should do it with their eyes
open. I consider the public school
system Of vastly greater Importance
than which party wins a state cleo
ton, and don't want to see real
friends of the public schools de-
stroyed by politicians who are play
ing a selfish game. I regard the
Teachers Federation as one of the
most valuable and influential friends
of the public school system. I believe
the fight on the Federation is not one
to protect the schools, but to destroy
the influence of the teachers organ

THE PUBLIC FORUM


HER DUTY.-What is the func-
ton of the public school? Jake Loeb
and the Invisible Government have
monopoly on this function, so it
seems.
What is the duty of the public
school teacher? Is it simply to teach
reading, writing and arithmetic?
The duty of the public school teach
er should be to prepare the children
for the world and to prepare the
world for the children. O'Brien.
THE MOST HONEST.-WiH our
friend Jupiter" the Observer, please
inform some of us whom he found
the most honest: Lawyers, preach
ers, politicians or real estate
sharks.-Chas. Thessmann.

The Quality Of GssoIene.

The Retail Merchants Associa ton Is
undertaking a valuable bit of work in
its efforts to obtain regula ton Of the
quality OF gaaolene.
The man who ignorantly buys low
grade gasolene not only is failing to
get his moneys worth: he is using a
fuel which Injuries his car, and even
placing his life In jeopardy. Several
deaths, and narrow escapes from death
in closed garages in this city, were held
to be due to fumes from low grade
gasolene. -,
The weights and measures branch OF
the municipal government can care TO,

sence Of any standard OF quality, moth
Ing can be done about selling a low
grade article. gvg.st ---
In taking up the matter with the de-
partment Of commerce the Retail Mer.
chants Association has paved the wa,
for national legislation In respect t.
standard requirements for gasolene
Tests now are making to determine
whether g maximum and minimum o
specific gravity can be fixed, so tina
gasolene within that range may b.
considered pure.
With the rapidly increasing owner

OF pure gasolene is one that touches

POLIO GERM DISCOVERED.
Dr.. Rosenow Believes He Has Found
Source Of fnfa ntife PARALYSIS.

New York, Oct. 1S.-Medical men
showed keen interest Monday when
word reached this city that DR.. Ed
ward c. Rosenow, head of the bacterio-
logical department of the Mayo foun-
dation at Rochester, Mimi. had finally
succeeded in isolating the germ which,
judging from the invariable results of
many experiments, is the cause of in
fantile paralysis.
One important result of DR.. Rose
now's work here during the summer
he went back to Minnesota only a few
days ago-was the discovery that in
variably the germ which he has iso-
lated was found in the tonsils of chill
dren suffering from infantile paralysis.
DR.. Rosenow's experiments here show
ed children suffering from pjoliomy-
elitis who were not making a good re-
covery showed striking improvement
after the tonsils had been removed

UNCHECKED FOREIGN BUYING
FORCES MARKED ADVANCE
IN PRICES.
DRoUrH IN ARGENTINA;
SNOW STORMS IN CANADA
Corn Borrows Strength From Wheat
and Advances Result From An
nouncement That Bulk of Stock on
Hand Has Been Sold For Shipment
Oats Respond Little to upturn.

Chicago, Oct. lS.-Fresh advances in
the price of wheat resulted 'oday from
q continuance of foreign buying. The
chief incentives were drouth in Argen-
tina and snow storms in Canada. En-
larged crop damage was Z necessary
consequence of the drouth and there
seemed no doubt that Canadian thresh-
ing would be seriously postponed if not
SHOWS. Delay in blowing for winter
wheat, especially in southwestern
states, counted also against the bears.
Opening prices, which ranged from a
to rs cents higher, with December at
l.64 to 1.65S, and May at 1855 to 1864,
were followed by further advances and
then reaction.
Despite realizing sales by longs, the
market assembled to the highest prices
since the Letter year. 1905 making
jump since yesterday Of nearly cents
a bushel. Profit taking caused some
thing of a setback but the close was
excited at the same as yesterday to 3a4
1868 and May at 1915 9167A.
Corn.
Corn borrowed strength from wheat.
1t was reported that the bulk of the
stock here had already been sold for
shipment. After opening unchanged to
Il higher. the market scored moderate
general gains.
Small receipts and urgent cash de-
mand were bulliSh factors as well as
the wheat strength. The close was
steady at y to l cent net advance.
Oats.
Oats responded little to the upturns
in other grain. Demand tho was not
of an urgent character.
Provisions.
Higher prices for hogs and grain
tended to hoist provisions.

BRITAIN NOT 70 PROTEST.
viii File No Complaint Regarding
Rajds Of U.S3.

London, Oct 18.--The British gov
erlment will not make any Official rep
resentation to the United States con-
corning the German submarine U-IS
pending an announcement OF It's atti-
| tude by the American government, said
Viscount Grey, secretary of state for
| foreign affairs, in the house OF lords.
! In reply to question concerning
the attitude of the United States to-
ward British patrols, Viscount Grey
said the United States admitted the
British ships were not exceeding their
legal rights under international law,
but that the American government
complains of, their presence on the
ground of the irritation which the con-
tinued presence Of belligerent warships
on the coast of the United States nat
urally caused in neutral country. He
declared the United States had re-
quested Great Britain emphatically not
to patrol Off its coast, and said that
instructions were sent to the British
ships there to avoid causing any I'M
necessary irritation and to comply as
far as possible with the American re-
quest.
with regard to the U-53." the for
eign secretary continued, I'VE do not
know what steps were taken by the
United States for patroling its waters
or in regard to the U-53 coming into
port and securing information from
newspapers. We do not know whether
it is true that American warships got
out of the submarines way. That Is a
matter for the American government
only, and we assume that government
is making full inquiries. We also as
sumo it will announce its attitude in
due course. Pending that we do not
propose to make any official represen-
tation on the subject of the subma-
rine."
The question concerning the German
submarine raid in American waters
was raised by Baron Charles Beres-
ford, former commander of the British
home fleet He asked if British cruis-
ers were removed from American
waters owing to American objections.
and if so, what steps the government
proposed for the protection Of British
vessels He criticized the submarine
reply as at least curt, and said the
American ideas Of neutrality were
curious.

Back to the Farm.

Erasmus was the huskiest of all the
college team;
His kicking was classic and his run
ming was scream.
The enemy all took flight, their terror
i'll concealed,
Whenever he grabbed the pigskin and
went tearing down the field.
He was the very limit in strenuous pas
time:
To ask a man to tackle him was moth
ing but crime.
He was the strongest man they'd had
in twenty-seven years:
He always left the field bestrewn with
arms and legs and ears.
But back home in vacation time his
strength just failed, vow
He was SO weak he couldn't think OF
following the pillow.
He couldn't hoe potatoes and he
couldn't split the wood,
Altho he told his parents he would like
to if he could.
He simply seemed to pine away and
dwindle as a rule.
Til in the fall when time came round
for him to go to school.
Then he'd recover suddenly and take
an awful brace;
In feats Of strength deal depends upon
the time and place.
