supervising principal The district super.
inlendcut made no definite inspection and
the teacher either was obliged to rest
her ease with the supervising principal
and trust for his influence on the district
superintendent or obtain the intcrcesSiou
of friends with the district super!ntcnd-
cnt for a favorable recommendation. In
reply to Il question, the supervising priu.
cipal facetiously remarked that he did
not do any teaching aud had two clerks
in addition.
This particular system has for such
supervision as does obtain more than zoo
standards There is the tendency on the
part Of the principals to seek release
from the duties of teaching and To solicit
tho privilege Of becoming compiler Of
statistics with the assistance Of CLERKS"
or TO become nothing more than an office
keeper. This Is a tendency common to
all types OF school systems. The redeem
ing feature in education in thi9 respect
lies in the fact that presidents Of great
universities and deans Of colleges find it
for the interest of their institutions to
teach at least a portion Of their time. 1t
Is the only way In which "A principal can
keep alive in sympathy for the learner
and the teacher.
SHOULD BE WELL PAID
The executive principals should be rea-
sonaby well paid and teach we'll the
subjects assigned them. There is no
occasion TO take up matters Of discipline
or executive control during the school
sessions. Cases of discipline involving
pupil and teacher and sometimes parent
are considered at the close Of the schoo'
session. TO consider them during a
teaching period would be loss to the
pupils of the school.

2ef Philadelphia.
y "Whe could M I make n speech before
such rnagnifict mt audience of men and
ladies, for without the latter I at least
could not live" was Mr. Boli's preface
% an address punctuated by ger ,rous
applause.
z Mr.. Box spoke particularly of tho
Great work being done by the Y. NJ. {. n.
In army camps here and in France, and
punctuated his address with many hu-
fnorous stories. He read letters fresh
from the men over there" telling of how
they are absorbing Christianity without
hearing the average pulpit talk on re
ligion. One was from the son Of a multi
millionaire. the son Of the richest man
In the United States Senate. Beside his
$23 per month he was earning IS a week
doing the nominal work of an orderly for
superior officer.
He is simply performing a duty that
has to be done, and Is doing 1t In a
willing, patriotic spirit for his country"
Haid Mr.. Box. This soldier distributed
$1,000 his father sent him among French
children. MIR. Box related numerous in
stances of the waY leveling distinction
Of wealth or position among the men.
At one camp he visited, "a pickpockct.
doctor OF philosophy. n minister and

ltouching elbows with one another.
Be happy and you'll be good is
the policy of this y. NJ. c. A. war work
council instead OF be good and you'll
be happy" Mr.. Box said In touching
upon the various forms Of clean enter
tainment provided for the soldiers. The
result" he said, is = high morale and
the best moral standards among them"
Major Laughlan Mclean Watt for

ANIMALS ARE LEAVING
Topeka Hunters Declare War on Do.
yer Rabbits and SQUIRRELS.

In Advance of Topeka Hunters at
Dover, Nov. 19.-The rabbit popula-
ton of this section began a hurried
evacuation early this morning, and
Dummies were seen scurrying away in
every direction. Advanced news had
been received that A. j. Carruth and
w. p. Snyder of Topeka were pushing
forward on. the brush piles and the
creek bottoms heavily armed and pre-
pared to exterminate the white tailed
population of the district.
1t was also rumored that war was to
be declared on the squirrels, but the
latter seemed undisturbed and scam
pered around the woods as usual, look
ing for nuts and hopeful that the fine
weather would enable them. to plenti-
fully provide for the winter.
The equipment of the invaders was
said to consist of one shotgun, two 22
caliber rifles, 1000 rounds of ammu-
milton, four pairs of wool socks, chew
ing gum, golf clubs and a frying pan.

OUR WIVES MAKES HIT

Comedy Bill This Week.

North Brothers Give Audience Heal
Comedy Bill This Week.
In a three act comedy entitled "Our
Wives" the North Brothers Stock
company, now playing at the Majestic
theater, offers an attraction which is
pleasing and decidedly amusing.
The story hinges around four bache-
lors who have vowed to remain in sim
gle blessedness. But they can't make
it stick. In a spontaneous confess
sional three of them. one by one.
shame1essly make known that they
have succumbed to the wi1es Of the
only woman in the wofld"-a differ
ent woman, seemingly forgetting that
all women are different. The fourth
expresses his disgust and condones
them in their sin.
The three are married and are en-
tertained at the apartment of the
bachelor who is initiated into the in
tricacies of married life, becoming
more wary than ever. 1t is in this
scene that the climax in comedy is
reached and it can be appreciated by
Sport North who plays the part of a
librettist. the last of the four bache-
lors, is collaborating on an opera with
Wilson, played by Miss Genevieve Rus
sell, who is supposed to be a musical
machine but she turns out to be a
mere woman and the fourth and last
bachelor, the wisest and wariest of
of the others,
The story Interesting and novel, is
presented by we'll balanced COM
pany and holds the interest of all who
want to see the wise and wary lfbret-
fist lined up also. F. F. L.
