RESIDENTS, OF BALA
ASSA|L SCHOOL BOARD
Parents Aroused Over Demotion
Of Miss Eite, Principal Of
School for Ten Years
DIRECTORS WON'T TALK

Parents Of 400 children in Bala be-
lieve that Miss Agnes Fite is thorough :
ly qualified to be principal of the Bala
Public School.
Members of the Lower Merton School
Board who, It is contended, do not
live in Bala say she isn't.
Miss Fite was denoted by the board
(which refused to reinstate here despite
an overwhelming demand by the COM
munity. There is general indignation
In Bala today over the boards action,
and meeting will be held next week
to take more drastic action in the mat
ter.
Ride Board Out" Say Some
AS a sample of the temper of the
residents on the matter it was suggested
by several that the board should be
ridden out Of town on a rail-" In
fact, that is mild.
Miss Fite has been teaching in the
Bala school for ten years. Incidentally
the pupils of the school have made an
excellent record, It is pointed out.
In a petition to the board urging that
she be retained as principal of the
school Miss Fite's record is pointed out.
rs well as the fact that the several
hundred children under her hold the
teacher in the highest esteem.
Several meetings have been held. but
the board has remained adamant in its
determination to denote Miss Fite.
1t is highly probable that the matter
will be carried to the courts.
Board Members Not Residents
Mrs. George e. Snyder one Of the
champions of Miss Fite said the action
Of the board is beyond discussion.
None Of the members Of the board live
In Bala," she said, 'they live along the
Main Line at other places. The parents
OF the children who see the results at :
tanned are certainly in position to know
the qualifications Of Miss Fite It is
terrible situation"
The Woman's Club of Bala and Cvn.
wyd, the Neighborhood Club and other
organizations will keep up the fight for
retention of Miss Fite as principal
The board has announced that Miss
Margaret Boyer, of Tower City school
for the last three years, has been elected
in Miss Fite's place.
Asked why the board had decided to
denote Miss Fite, DR.. W. G. Powell,
president of the board. said: 'I will
NOT talk about it at all"

China and Japan
Weale Discusses Nippon
Role in the Far East

THE TRUTH ABOUT CHINA AND
JAPAN. BY B. l. Putnam Weale. Dodd,
Mead & Co, New York
Mr. Weale. like practically all Ameri
can commentators on the Far Eastern
situation, is strongly sympathetic with
China as against Japan. He feels that
Japan's policy of gradually absorbing
huge stretches of territory on the
Asiatic mainland represents q policy Of
imperialism that may have been justl-
fable from the standpoint Of self-pres
ervation at the time when Russia was
powerful factor in the Far East, but
that is altogether indefensible now.
He rejects the argument that Japan
needs more room for her surplus popu-
lation, pointing out that Shantung and
one Of the islands in the japanese
archipelago is practically uninhabited.
Railway control, in the authors opin-
ion, is the key to the mastery of East
ern Asia In this connection he asserts
that if Japan should retain possession
of the railroads in the province of
Shantung the ultimate restoration of
Chinese political sovereignty in this
region would be nothing but mockery.
He speaks also of the determination of
the Japanese government to secure con-
troll of the trans-Siberi railroad east
of Lake Baikal and Of its refusal to CO.
operate with the commission headed by
Mr. Stevens in operating and repairing,
the road-a circumstance which
throws good deal Of light upon the
rather obscure causes of friction be-
tween America and Japan in Siberia.
Mr. Weale's sketch Of the recent po-
litical upheavals in China seems trif1e
hurried and lacking in necessary ex-
planatory details. His sympathies are
with the republicans Of Canton, rather
than with the militarsts Of Peking, al
though he acquits the latter of con-
scious colusion with Japan against the
interests Of their own country. He
suggests the abolition Of extraterri-
[ toriality, the withdrawal Of foreign
troops, the restoration Of the railroads
TO Chinese control and the placing of
the customs under the authority of
( Chinese officials as necessary measures
if China is to develop into a strong
democratic state.
In an appendix Mr.. Weale publishes a
copy Of an alleged secret treaty con-
cluded between Japan and Germany
during the war and providing for the
virtual partition Of Russia and China
between the two powers. This treaty
was published by the Soviet govern
ment, and It's authenticity may be open
TO question There can be little doubt,
however, that certain element in
Japanese military circles would have
/ welcomed such an entente. The appen-
dix includes also the text Of the Ian
/ sing-fshii agreement, certain secret
compacts concluded between the North
crn Chinese and Japanese governments

MR. PUNCHs HISTORY OF THE GREAT
WAR. BY Sir Owen Seaman. Published
by Stokes
Punch" has written history as no
other historian could write it. In the
war cartoons that have appeared in its
pages 1t has left an eternal record of
the British war spirit that is perhaps
closer to real British thought and Brit
lsh life than any other record could be.
1t is fortunate chance indeed that
the British public would not allow Mr..
Punch to put up his shutters in the
dark days of 1914; still more so that
somebody had the idea Of treasuring up
these living records in book form. for
tory of the Great War" which has just
been published by Stokes, can you read
at glance the popular spirit that ami
mated Great Britain to carry on
through four and half bitter wears.
To the reader of French periodicals
the first thing that the book shows is
the tremendous contrast between the
British war spirit and that of the French
people. The best informed writer's tell
us that while the French were at the
highest heat Of idealistic patriotism the
- Aeioii, W it4 iiO ltoS pau iOllSH, COLI
sidered the war as a dirty and dis
agreeable job that must be brought to
successful termination with as little
fuss and as few heroics q possible
And the laurel branch, the flaming
sword, the angel of victory, the epic
figures of the French periodical, are
rare in. "Punch:' in spite of the oc-
casional beautiful exception, such as
the frontispiece Of the book Instead
of the deeper note which did so much
to preserve the French war spirit you
more frequently find such bits as this
about two monocled British officers:
The Newcomer-My village, think.
The One in Possession Sorry, Old
Thing. | took it half an hour ago
In addition to this contrast. which
"Punch's History" brings out more
clearly than can be described, there
are strange glimpses of prophecy in the
book. A cartoon of 1864 shows Punch
presenting the King Of Prussia with
the order of est. Gbbet"; in a later
one of 1873 France tells Germany they
shall meet again, and in 1905 the Kaiser
is shown as "the sower of tares"
The text of the book by Sir Owen
Seaman. the distinguished editor of
"Punch,' is an interesting and CO.
herent narrative of war events. The
total result is rare record of the i'm
penetrablity, the wit and the under
lying sincerity of the little understood
British character.
