rectly by the people. instead Of being
appointed, as at present, by the board
Of judges?"
II do not believe that Doctor Fine
gan's suggestion is n wise one- There
are several different reasons which lead
me to this conclusion. In the first place,
election by the people would necessarily
make the board to an extent, large or
small, somewhat subservient to political
conditions.
There was n time, in the not far
distant past, when the board was elected
by the sectional boards. Members had
10 meet the views of their boards. This
ultimately gave rise to scandals so pro
nounced that they attracted public at
tention. The Legislature then, very
wisely and in accordance with public
opinion, put the matter in the hands Of
the judges. -.
Another reason rests in the fact of
the very great advantage of continuing
III position Of this kind man or
woman who is qualified in all respects.
Who by long service has learned the
particulars that are needed to insure
the proper administration of the school
system"

Philadelphia public schools, which have
been criticized. what Is your opinion?

coal operators were warned today by ].
ID. A. Morrow, vice-president of the

failure TO meet the urgent fuel needs of

getting coal moved to the northwest.
New England and Upper New York.
Referring to the plan which the Inter
state Commerce Commission accepted
yesterday giving priority in car supply
and car movement to coal destined for
these points, he said:
Failure would justify federal control
which would be fastened upon the coal
industry permanently. There will he no
such failure. Whatever Inconvenience

with 1916 per cent whereas America
comes next, with lac per cent Within

country alone. she said.
DIR. Hassler urged that both city and
county districts be zoned, and that

be established for each community,
The second indictment for the high
mortality rate came from DIR. Mary A.

be blamed for many ills among children.
''She l. prone TO dose the baby with

imagines the child must be fed and must

The third charge came from DR.. j. w

that better care must be given babies if
they are to develop into stronger men
