In the second place it is Mrs. YosgT brink who speaks. The two propo-a 'sitions are Sawaiting an answer from the civilized world.

 First of all, teacher. is a ,teacher.s Following the facts in the case, that pseudo definition should suffice. It should also act in a controversial manner to the claims set forth by the self-appointed critic of the Chicago School Board. Granted that school teachers are selefted in the leading Illinois city merely because they are good looking or have other charms,
 why should not this be the cases7 There are numerous instances s.s son
 record to show why the most learned people are not the best teachers. To; be good school teacher is not the sign of perfection in any art or science. The contrary is often the case. Looking back upon the scenes of childhood. successful men, the greater majority of them, find that the best teachers they ever had were those who possessed certain charm of personality. a thing decried by this critic of the Chicago schools. And, in our humble way, we cling to the belief that personality Is, in a large measure, the greatest attribute a. school teacher can possess. Men or women who have delved deep into any one subject are. as a matter of fact, prone to become "bores." They drink too deep of tho Pyrean Spring. In- stead of little learning being a
 dangerous thing. with them the oppo-
 site state of affairs Is true. Too much learning Is where the trouble lies.
 So we say let the beauty of face and figure have some part in de- terminating the qualification of the
 school teacher especially when "she'' is woman. Let her be beautiful. Let her be angelic. Let her be low able. Let her be the sweetest crea- ture a Divine Providence ever or dained to breathe the breath of life. In this way will our school teachers captivate the hearts of youth and spur future men on to greater ambition

Citizen Says Number of Boyse and Girls on streetssIs ncresing. To the Editor:-
 lis truancy on the increase In .go- ing about city one is1surprised at..the number. ofsfchildren Sof school y age, both boys and girls who are found congregating about dumps. railroad yards, alleys and out of the way places. even on some of the principle streets mum bers are seen who should be at school. It is to be hoped that children of both sexes who are al- lowed ito. gather at dumps and lofter about the streets during school hours may grow up to be good citizens. Their chances of becoming useful members of society would be con- siderably improved if those in au- thority were more watchful, attending more Closely to their duties. A truant officer is paid very liberal salary for preventing such conditions. is hei do- ing his duty, Is he worthy of his hire In many places the rounding up. of truants Is the duty of the police de- partment, better results are attained as many truant officers are men we'll along in years whose strongest Ftati- fication is a political pull. Politics and favoritiem should have no place in the conducting of schools. There fore it is time that change be made regarding the suppression of truancy If better conditions are going to pre- vail. It is a deplorable and well known fact that great deal of misery and crime can be traced back to truancy.

Have We a Canned Congress
Philadelphia TnuuirerD

NTHiliuelpnla Inqulrer.)
 Representative Randall, of Cali fornia, who is the bearer of a nama distinguished in the annals of national legislation, declares that this is g canned congress, and that it can never appeal to those who like their legislation, as we'll as their food freshly served. He Is on the war path, is this California Randall. and he has called 8 meeting of the odds congress. He thinks little group which he has designated, and which includes socialists, suffragettes, pro- gress1ves, and so on. may hold the balance of power, and in that event control the course of legislation
 He says that he would rather be chairman of and control the rules committee of the house than be pres ident Maybe, like Henry Clay, he may never be one or the other. He complains that '(between the thought, and action there is an impassa ble barricade of parliam entary piffle, D and that he will not follow "an az gregation of psalm singers"
 The etaphors of the gentleman from California are a little difficult for the effete Fastener. but if he really does one-fourth of the things he threatens to do there will be not1- ing stale or f1sh-like about the next congress.
 In any event, it begins to look as though the days of the canned con- sress'' were at an end.

the question of bipartisan boards for the Water, Fire and Poiieess Depart ments as against the nartisans princi-, pie..ssThere, seems to be no doubt in the minds of those who have had niatly wears of experience in the city's affairs that the general plan of bi- partisan boards has worked out well in pracuce since the Inauguration of the consolidated government in 1906, as evidenced, fdf instance, by the Board of Finsspce, Fhe Board of Public Works, the sBoard of Charities and the Boards of Compensation and Assess ment. This view,is strongly support sed by the Mayor, the Corporation Counsel, Judge Gaffney, and, in fact, byNnearK all students of our Munich pal .Goyernnentswho G are not influenced by the idea s;that to. the victors be-
 long all the spells in the way of politi- cal l,sarpointments. There was def1- nite A3nttment in favor of single head ed commission in the Fire and Police DepartmentG but those who hope for an early adoption of this plan hold the
 view that .cbrditions, do not yet war
 rant it's being put into effect because the city is not yet ready to pay sal aries commensurate with the respon-
 abilities involved in these two very important places. The council, after
 long talk and explanations, voted in favor of the bipartisan plan; and the fact that these provisions were dec1d- ed without a division should indicate
 to the citys representation in 1ne General Assembly that public senu-
 ment in New Britain is definitely in favor of eliminating partisan pollcs as much as possible an the conduct or the citys business.
 welcome diversion from the sharp differences in debate was affordeo oy
 Judge Gaffney's sympathetic and elo-
 ouent appeal in behalf of hds measure for the censorship of moving pictures, long in suspense, but now adequately
 set forth in regard to looking after the
 morals of school children. Judge Gaffney particularly d!sclaimed any idea of trying to regulate adult morals as affected by moving pictures; but he claimed the right on behalf of the School Board to protect children be- tween the ages of four and sixteen from sinister influences.
 The enlarged powers of the City Court mean simply as stated in these columns yesterday, more court bust ness in civil cases to be transacted here with the added boon of having naturaIiza ton facilities at home in- stead of in Hartford.
 To sum up, the Council, which must be regarded as the direct mouthpiece
 of the citizens, put itself on record as
 in favor of all the Charter Revision Committees recommendations.

Being a Heroine.
(New York Tribune).

Miss Tessie McNamara, heroine Of Kinesland in the recent munitions ex- plosion, hasn't yet found other work. It is expressing, of course, and not without interest, to be an American heroine, but 1t is underpaid. She has received ever 50 many gold watches, but one can't live upon gold watches, but one can't live upon gold watches, either, especially if they have been suitably inscribed.
 Her former switchboard was de- stroyed with the rest of the Canadian Car and Foundry Company's build ings at Kingsland, leaving her a hero inc without niche. She is such a competent switchboard plugger that being without work has presented no qualms to her, as yet. But for the benefit of business men, it is we'll to state that Miss McNamara at presents , lacks a switchboard.

To Help Mexico.
fChfcago Evening Post. )


 vexed as we are with Mexico and the Mexicans at times, there is none of us who would not be glad If some pra actical plan could be devised to help the country and it's people.
 A group of eduoatlonalists, of which President Charles w. Dabney of the University of Cincinnati is chairman, proposes the establishment in Mexico of an American university similar in character to tho famous Robert Col lege of Constantinople.
 The need of Mexico is education. Before that can be brought to the masses of the people there must be educational leaders, men who will value the school and promote it. Mex leo has no university of the modern type and but few men with the vision and understanding that can be gained only through education abreast of the worlds progress.
 The proposal appeals to us as most excellent. It is a slower method Of conquest than that of military force. but it is better method. An educat- ed Mexico will be a friendly Mexico, especially if the education comes through American sinstrumentality. We would sooner have an American col ,lege in Mexico than an American

SCHOOL TEACHERS.

It was T. A. Daly, sometimes writer of poems and other verse, but never vers fibre, who once com mended a Broadway theatrical mag Augustine or Arnold Daly,-for an ability to choose, with out much ado, ladies of the chorus saving, You are quick at figures" This being true, Tom Da1y might iambic and pentameter verse, and so forth, and apply to the Chicago Board of Education for a position the sum and substance of which would be the selection of school teachers for duty in the Windy City. Having observed the quickness and aptitude of his forebears in the Daly family for se- lecting figures, T. A. would undoubted- ly prove a valuable acquisition to the Chicago Board of Education.
 The story doth go the rounds that there is a dispute bordering on the acrimonious which is now dividing the Chicago Board of Education on the momentuous question as to how far face" and figure shall have part in the selection of candidates for teachers in the school rooms of Americas second city. One member of the board, Mrs. George P. Vos- brink put it this way,-"You would think they were filling up musica comedy chorus instead of seeking f1 guides for children, ,''-which woul6 , seem to justify the appointment o a mathematician, or somo one good a | figures. Following out her line O. 1 argument, Mrs. Vosbr1nk declared that so far as the principles of tn, various schools in Chicago are con cerned mental qualifications to then mean nothing. They are far mor, concerned with other things When i
