The Season and the Thing

To everything there is season. and
q time to every purpose under the
heaven; time to be born, and time
to die; a time to plant, and a time to
pluck up that which is planted time
to weep, and a time to laugh; time
to mourn, and a time to dance; time
to love, and a time to hate; a time OF

n TARK TAPLEY, in the romance
IVH of Dickens, you remember, was
49, cheerful. No matter what con-
ditions or troubles he encountered,
Mark always saw a cheerful side to
the prospect.
And when he couldn't be as cheer
full as usual he bravely insisted on
being as cheerful as possible. Amer
leans need to emulate the example of
Tapley.

in practical agreement upon the propo-
sition that the present commission
form is more or less of a failure.
Discussing the problems which con-
front many of the American cities, the
Kansas City Star says:
What the city manager plan pro-
poses is the election of small
board which shall hire the best man
obtatnable to run the city. There is
a chance to get high class men on
the board. But even if professional
politicians should get control of it,
as they would at times, the system
would be so much simpler and more
direct than the present one, and the
responsibility so centered, that the
administration would certainly be
far more efficient than it is when
politicians control the present ma
chinery.
Under the existing system the
city has little chance to improve
conditions, because there is con-
slant change in the administrative
ment heads. The system condemns
the city to government by anna
teurs. The city manager plan at
least makes it possible. as public
Keep trained men in charge of city
affairs.
Those who are concerned with the
efficient management of our Pennsyl-
vania municipalities should see to it
that the Clark act, under which all the
third-class cities are operating, is so
amended as to make it optional with
these cities whether the commission
shall be a paid body or one serving
without pay and employing a manager
or heads of departments.

It is an interesting thing to note
that the State appropriation for the
common schools, which DIR. Schaeffer
would have increased to 8,000,000,
has jumped by ten-year intervals, eX-
cept in the last instance. In 1916 the
total was made SIC 100000. although
the extra million added for the first
time since 1908 can scarcely be con-
sidered as an increase because 1t was
specifically appropriated to certain
objects. The increase in 1908 was the
result of agitation begun back in 1896
and brought about in 1908, when 1t
was made eleven millions.

Now that the Christmas rush is
over it is probable that something will
be done pretty soon about a new high
school for the West Shore. The
school directors of that section have
been studying the problem from vari-

about ready to make known some line
of policy which will bring the realiza-
ton of hopes and furnish the educa-

the increase of population.

ODD TYPE OF GIRL
 PORTRAYED BY GISH

Lillian Gish characterizes an unl- sual type of girl in "The Children Pay" new Triangle-Fine Arts pro duction directed by Lloyd Ingraham, appearing at the Orpheo theatre Mon- day.
 Her part is that of Millicent Ainsley eldest daughter of Theodore Ainsley, wealthy, self-centered man of af- fairs who divorces Ais equally selfish wife and sends his daughters away to a small town in charge of an old servant in order that lie may make a new match with a young society belle.
 Millicent and her little sister are forSad to find happiness in their own devices, as they are os:racized by the villagers, who only know there is some mystery connected with their present situation.
 To amuse herself Millicent turns inventor and builds improved dish washers, clothes wringers and even a strange racing contrivance, half automobile, half motorcycle. In this unique "go-devil'' she tears over the public highways at the risk of life and limb and to the horror of the local puritans. The strange speed-wagon shown in
 this play was built especially for Miss
 Gish at the private machine shop of
 Barney Oldfield while the great rec
 ord-smasher was appearing recently in Los Angeles. After watching the flair Lillian guide the cranky little con- itrivance Barney predicted that she
 would some day retire from the mo-
 tion picEre field long enough to beat him at his own game.

 News of the departure reached the ears of Flora Macdonald, who was engaged to play the part of the wife of the loyal East Side Italian in the preparedness spectacle at the Liberty theatre, New York. Miss Macdonald volunteered to teach the school. It develoed that she was graduate of Normal college in New York and had taught three years in New Jersey be- fore discarding the text book and ferrule for the sock and buskin. This Miss Macdonald literally did, for her first theatrical engagement was with the Couburn Players, one of the real stock and buskin coma nies that ire quently tour the country.
