President Wilcox of the Board OF bdu-
cation seems unnecessarily troubled over
the fate of the school system here under
board of seven members. He lays especiai
stress on the number of hours of COM
nittee work done by the present board OF
forty-six members, fearing that 1t would
take practically the entire time OF the
proposed small board to equal this record.
OF course, in this Mr.. Wilcox overlooks
the fact that small bodies usually move
faster than large ones. One trouble with
the existing board has been its time vast
ing, wrangling, interminable meetings
which seemed to accomplish nothing save
the piling of words without end into the
record. If a board of seven members un-
dertook TO consume as much time and TO
speak as many words in debate as the
present board has done, it might be hope
less outlook. Fortunately, progress and
the accomplishment of things do not de-
pend entirely on the time devoted to them
The method of attacking the problems I'M
der consideration has quite as much bear
ing on the result.
This city has long been the only one of
importance in the entire nation with so
large a membership in its education board
Most of the large municipalities where
progress in educational matters is beng
shown have boards of from five to nine
members. These boards do not seem to
have greater difficulty in transacting the
necessary business than did the larger
bodies they displaced. The small board
has in its favor mobility, compactness,
Capitalization of power and responsibility,
which operate to produce results without
waste time and waste effort. A factory
manager would consider it built for eff
cheney, as the large board was not. A bust
ness executive would deem it feasible,
practical body for formulating and defin-
ing policies, where the large board would
be as impossible as board Of trustees of
forty-six members for a corporation.
The plain fact has been that for years
little group of influential and expert
enced members of the Board of Education
has actually done the work, and while the
other members have cast votes and made
speeches they have been trailers. There will
be no room for trailers in the board of
seven which the Lockwood bill will estab-
lish if Governor Whitman signs it, as he
should do. And there ought to be no
trai1ers

The Kaiser and the Ocean

Said our nation: We've notion
That we'd like to cross the ocean
Some fine day T.
But we'll have to ask the Kaiser
You'll admit it would be wiser
If we may."
All the neutrals ask the Kaiser
If they may.
Said the Kaiser, looking pleasant,
You may freely stay, at present
Where you are on terra frma
1t would be. ! dare affirm,
Better way"
All the neutrals ask the Kaiser
If they may.
To the Kaiser said our nation:
1--WE enjoy your conversation,
But to-day-just to-day
We have tired of terra frmai
Fate will sometimes turn a worm
Little way E"
All the worms have asked the Kaiser
If they may
Said the Kaiser in vexation:
is there aught in paliation
You can say
For your presence on my ocean.
Where you're plainly to my notion
In the way?
Neutrals all are to my notion
In the way?"
As nation we've notion
That we'd like TO cross the ocean
Right away,
RAnd we will not ask the Kaiser.
Who may then be somewhat wiser

No one then will ask the Kaiser
