SCHOOLS AGAlN-ScHoOL
LAND BILLS GAIN
Jake Loeb, school board president,
found out all of a sudden yesterday
that somebody in the board offices in
the Tribune bldg. had signed his
name with a rubber stamp to a
check for 5000.
This money is being used by three
members Of the teachers pension
fund board. They are lobbying at
Springfield to keep the school board
from getting control Of pension
funds now administered by trustees
elected through majority vote Of all
the public school teachers of Chi
cago.
Pres. Loeb has ordered Sec'y Lewis
E. Larsen to report how and why his
name was rubber-stamped on a
check. After an earful of correct in
formation on this aspect Of the case
has come to Pres. Loeb he promises
to get quick action, ride fast like
Paul Revere and save the public
treasury 5000.
While this $500 story got nearly a
column space and top head lines in
the Tribune today, the forces aiming
through state legislation to take
away from the city council all con-
troll over school lands-empowering
the school board unrestrictedly to sell
school lands at any price it chooses.

was reported yesterday to be gaining

board, through their alliance with
Mayor Thompson, viii have the big
main say-so on the selling of 1880

A clay tablet bearing a map Of an.
Client Babylon. which has just been
discovered, throws, according to DR..
Stephen 81. Langdon of the University
of Pennsylvania museum, "a welcome
light upon an obscure law in the great
law code Of BabylOnia. In column
XIV, lines 65 following, there is ref
erence to the custom of blowing g.
horn at the village gates to notify
shepherds that the grazing season was
over. These rural villages appear to
have been so arranged that the village
buglers were able to make the shep-
herds and farmers hear the sound of
the horn in every part of Babylonia."
The tablet dates back probably to
1900 b. G.
The watchman and southron. [volume] (Sumter, S.C.) 1881-1930, 1917-09-22
Tho Way You Do II,

One reads that Darwin never under
stood an equation, and the chances are
that Isaac Newton could not have pass
ed any examination in literary or aes-
thetic subjects with his idea that poet
ry was ingenious nonsense and statu-
ary only stone dolls. Faraday had no
gift for mathematics, and it is a moot
ed question if Napoleon Bonapartc
could have passed a college entrance
examination in French. But it was
their ability to do some one thing well
that has turned the world upside down
at various times in its forward march,
not their inability to do badly what all
the world only does moderately well.
1t makes little difference what you do.
The difference lies in the way you do
it. The business world is Overstocked
with poor people looking for good po-
sitions, while good positions are wait
Ing for good people to fill them.
