Supreme Court
Ruling Of Interest
To Teachers

A ruling of considerable import
ance to those interested in public
school matters was rendered by the
supreme court this week.
A teacher of Orange county who
had some differences with the county
superintendent went to another
county and took the examination for
teachers certificate. In this examin-
alton he was awarded first grade
certificate. With the certificate he
returned to Orange county and pre-
scented his certificate to County SUI
perintendent j. F. McHinnon for
endorsement. The county superin-
tendent refused to endorse the certi-
cate. taking the position that the
law permitted the county superin-
tendent to exercise his discretion in
srch cases. The teacher on the 9TH
or hand took the position that the
superintendent had no discretion in
such cases and contended that 1t was
his mandatory duty to endorse the
certificate and permit him to teach
in the county. To enforce his claim
the teacher brought mandamus pro-
ceedings in the circuit court against
the county superintendent and the
circuit judge sustained his conten-
lions and issued an order directing
the superintendent to endorse the
certificate.
The superintendent then took the
matter up with Attorney General
West who, because of the public in
in the question appealed the case to
the Supreme court with the result
that the Circuit courts decision was
reversed. The Supreme court decid-
ed the endorsement of teachers
certificate in such case is at the
discretion of the county superintend-
ent and that the courts would not
undertake to control him in the eX-
ercise such discretion.

A Midsummer
Pilgrimage


In my other letter l told some
thing about the fellowship hours of
the All-South convention in Allan
ia, and the days of vision when
guest of Tuskegee Institute. Then
came the homeward journey. First,
between Chehaw (where one must
change cars for Tuskeegee) and At
lanta, 1876 miles of delightful seem
cry as shown from the West Point
railway. Its depots are built for
beauty as well as usefulness, is one
thing noted. Very little land but
what seemed under cultivation over
beautifully green-covered red slopes.
Towns dotted the country traversed
and l do not remember of one that
was unsightly, while manufacturing
points often showed that IL these
people did not have orange groves,
besides the proverbial cotton and
Georgia peaches" they had other
sources of revenue. Just one note
I noticed that peaches were a popu-
lar lunch for many fellow-passen-
gers.
Again Atlanta was reached, and
upstairs in its spacious depot wait
ed by trusty carriage man to convey
me to the Office where the C. E. ex-
cursion ticket must be validated be-
fore the journey toward Florida. At
lanta may excel in high buildings,
but for smoothness of streets it is
surely lacking. Perhaps the memo
ries of Californian oiled avenues
give less patience with the brick
pavements so common in the South.
Homeward bound by night, and
morning light revealed that dreary
stretch of country where Georgia
and Florida meet. No more green
hills like seen the day before, in
stead miles of gone-over-mil forests,
or the remainder of what was once
forests of beautiful pines.
Entertainment in Jacksonville was,
as usual, with Mrs w. A. Bates, and
from her hcsnitable home services
were attended in different churches,
and friends met delightfully."-. One G..
E. event was the convention echo
meeting at the Springfield Presby-
terrain church, and another, some
cool-breeze days, guests of Miss Pen
elope Steele, live-wire worker of the
metropolis, who with her mother
and little brother have a Pablo
Beach summer cottage.
From Jacksonville by an hours
boat ride on the st. Johns river and
carriage one for four miles, and
Gilmore was reached, where in the
Hawley -Cusnor family there came
days of congenial friendship. Junior
Endeavor one afternoon, and real
party, at house by the rivers edge,
gave memories of years when | had
time and strength for local Junior
work and "going out in the evening
good times.
Reaching Palatka l was met by
Mr.. and Mrs. H. A. Perry and Miss
Mary Morrison, officers of the Po-
mona Congregational Society. First
there was the fun of picnic din
ner at Arlington Heights; then Pa
latka shopping, and fine auto ride
of twenty miles to Pomona. Sunday
evening we had Atlanta convention
echoes, in a well-attended meeting,
led by the secretary, Miss Mary Nor
rison. Pomona has a prosperous C.
E. society.
Home was the last place.

February, creating joint sub-com-
mittee from the Senate and House
commerce committees to investigate
various railroad problems, including
government ownership and regulation

ton was recommended by President

SUED BY DAUGHTER
She Asks Supreme Court Ac'
counting from Trustees.

Miss Gabrielle NJ. McQuaide, daugh-
ter and heir Of James P. McQuaide,
began suit in the Supreme Court yes
terday, asking for an accounting. Her
father, former treasurer Of the Ma
tional Conduit Company. was one Of
the Pittsburgh men whose fortunes in
creased rapidly after the formation of
the United States Steel Corporation. He
later came to New York to live.
Miss McQuaide asks for substitu-
ton Of trustees and the setting aside
of alleged transfers of shares OF the
conduit company set aside by her
father for the benefit of his first wife,
Sarah 8. McQuaide, and their children
Edward s. Pcrot and George J. jack
son. directors of the conduit company
are named as defendants.
In the complaint it is charged that
the defendants have asserted that more
than one-half of the 1850 shares so set
aside by McQuaide in 1908 are not TO
be included in accountings made by
them. by reason of later agreement
in 1906, and it is asked that this be de-
clared as still in the trust Another
claim presented is that the trustees, or
defendants, be made to account for
$50. 600 a year since 1909, when, 1T Is
alleged. they increased their salaries
from $4,000 TO twice that amount
Miss McQuaide asserts further that
although the stocks of the conduit
company are worth only s125,00O at
par the market value is more than
81 .00n. 900.

KIRCHWEY GETS
LOVING CUP
Retiring Head of Sing Sing
Is Honored by Prison
RefOrmers.

Professor George W Kirchwey, re-
firing warden of Sing Sing Prison, re-
ceived a silver loving cup from mem
hers Of the National Committee on
Prisons at reception yesterday after
noon at the country home of Adolph
Lewiston. at Ardsley- on-the-Hudson.
"My work at the prison has been so
absorbing and interesting that | would
like to have the six months begin all
over again." Professor Kifchwey told
the guests.
You took over the toughest job |
know Of" replied Thomas Mott Us
horne. who returns TO Sing Sing az
warden to-day. you have been sue
cessful where no other man could have
hoped to succeed
Professor KirchWey declared that
Warden Osborne brought many ex-
traordinary gifts TO the prison. Zone
was a wonderful faith in his convic-
ton" he continued. There is not one
of us now who does not believe that
the way 10 save a man is by mildness
instead of by brutality and force. Yet
three years ago, if had asked you If
this was the proper way to treat
prisoner, you would have arched your
eyebrows and said that you supposed
so. Mr.. Osborne came and tried that
very thing. A miracle resulted. Men
knew that kindness would be the right
way if any one had the courage to try
il. He did have the courage. with
that demonstration everything else in
prison reform seems Insignificant.
Glad as would be to repeat my ex-
periences within the walls, would not
ask 10 begin my term over again at the
price of keeping Tom Brown one day
out of his kingdom"
The inscription on the loving cup
roads: "To George W. kirchwey,
warden yynTS of Sing Sing Prison, in CRATE
ful appreciation of his services to tn the
cause Of prison reform from the Ma
tional Committee on Prisons, Adolph
Lewisohn, president" Among oth!er

Urged by Lord Haldane
Former War Minister Says Both America and Britain
Should Pattern Their System of Commercial Educa-
ton on That Used by German.

under the direction Of the authorities,
has now spread over a number of the
urban centres of Germany, and has
begun to be applied to agricultural and
country districts. After the war IL is
likely to be put in operation all over
Germany. For the cooperation OF en-
ployers Of labor, prompted by the Pc
cuniary gain which they have found
themselves reaping. has made the sys-
tenn relatively far from costly.
Il will illustrate the working OF the
system from Munich itself as II was
before the war. Il is said that in that
city, with its 100000 inhabitants, all
the boys, with the exception Of about
8 per cent, when they left the ele-
mentary school at fourteen, went at
once TO be taught trades which they
had chosen. They then attended dur.
ing the next four years a special and
compulsory trade continuation school,
which combined practical and theoret-
ical work for from eight TO ten hours
week taken out Of working hours. At
the end Of the four years many OF
them went on with voluntary instruc-
ton in higher technical schools outside
working hours.
"And there ia another point with re-
gard to the German system. II aims
at applying the boy to the work to
which his mind is particularly bent.
At the age Of fourteen the school,
master will ask him: What would you
like your work in life to beT The boy
thinks of number Of things, casts
his mind over the subjects in life which
appeal to him most. The majority, OF
boys like to make something or another

ton in some material.
"Thc boy may answer: I would like
TO make knives The schoolmaster will
reply: Would you like to make a
knife now?' The boy naturally wants
to. There and then he is taken off TO
factory and allowed. with the help
Of a workman. to make knife from
the first process to the last. That is
his initiation into technical education.
ain matters Of this kind, Of the ut
most Importance 10 the welfare OF the
nation. Great Britain can well afford to
take lesson from her enemy. Her
bows now at school represent in large
degree her capital in the great indus
trial struggle which is bound TO come.
"The United States, too, will face a
similar commercial fight. Both must
use every energy in making the most Of
their fighting instruments. As far as
England is concerned, | frankly confess
that | am more afraid Of this engine
for conquest in peace time which the
Germans were busy preparing before
the war than | am of the 42-centimetre
guns Of Krupp and Skoda.
"If we do not take heed quickly rear
the day is approaching when the Britlsn
government will be blamed for not hav.
ing warned the industrial population OF
this country and prepared it for the
shock of competition with the new and
formidable class OF workmen which
Germany is now preparing"
