Calls came to the police station ear
ly last evening from the vicinity of
Thirty-eighth street and Fourteenth
avenue that a man was peeking in
windows. The patrol responded and
Telle was picked up. With him he
had little dog
Police investigated and learned that
Telle is blind. He told them that he
had lost his way and that he was en-
tirely innocent of any wrongdoing.
Police said that the dog led him

twice when he should step up They

"Ihe Teachers, State. -

In the course of we'll deserved trib-
ute to the eminent Maine educator who
ia to become commissioner of education
in this state, the Springfield Republican
calls Maine "the state of schoolm asters."
Undoubtedly that designation applies
more accurately than "the Pine Tree
state" does in these later days. For q
generation or more, teachers have been
one Of the leading exports Of Maine.
Every state knows them, but Massachu-
sets has been wise enough to gather In
the larger part of them in their passage
westward. As principals, superintend-
ents, specialists and grade teachers You
will find them in almost every city and
village.
Commissioner Smith will not be lone

others in high places-even here in Bos-
ton where local conditions offer the out
slider less cordial welcome than be gets
in the suburbs and elsewhere. Il seems
20 be the natural thing for q Massachu-
setts town, when II wants principal, or
for a com bipation of our towns, when
they want a superintendent, to turn to
Maine. And he in turn promptly finds
room on his staff for frightening list
OF teachers who had their training and
early experience in Maine. The lure Of
the higher salaries here does the busi-
ness, bnt IL 10 hardly the prospect of
riches that draws young men and women
into the teaching profession at the start.
II would be an interesting study to
find why Maine 10 so productive in good
teachers. To be sure IL has FIVE good
normal schools and four colleges, Of
which three are rich in old-fashioned
traditions: but 10 IL the all round train
ing that the ambitious young people of
Maine get, or 10 it an intangible some
thing in the atmosphere that consecrates

reward in the Consciousness of duty to
