In order named by various people in
terviewed, the politeness standards in
Memphis run about as follows:
Street railway employees, both motor
men and conductors, are billed at so
per cent.
Attendants at railway stations make
an average of about 90 per cent.
Mattresses, walters and cashiers in
restaurants score lowest on the list,
with 70 per cent.
Police officers are given 30 per cent.
Hotel clerks, bellboys, etc, were
awarded 80 per cent.
Nearly every person asked about
conditions and the degrees of courtesy
shown them in public places are ready
to relate a basketful of personal yarns
of how they have been sighted or how
they have been treated real nice.
Quick 1amming OF cars, abrupt an
swers on transfer questions and peevish
rejoinders when asked for information
is the cause of low percentage for
street car men, according to about half
OF the ten critics. The other half agree
that Memphis is exceptionally well off
in the, men running cars and that they
have been shown much courtesy. An

so per cent perfect.

WASHINGTON, July g.. (Spl.)--Rev.
Dr. Abram Simon, rabbi of the Wash
ington Hebrew congregation, a native
Tennessean, has been elected president
of the board of education of Washing
ton.
Rabbi Simon succeeds Rev. John Van
Schaick, Jr., around whose head has
ragged a storm of congressional inves-
legations, and protests, voiced through
civic associations following his nomina-
tion some six months ago, by President
Wilson, for commissioner of the District
of Columbia. The senate, during the
closing days of it's last session, re-
jected the nomination.
With the elimination of DR.. Van
Schaick as president of the board and
the election of DR.. Frank Ballou, of
Boston, to succeed former Superinten-
dent Of Schools Ernest L. Thurston,

row, which has attracted national at
tention, is at an end
Rabbi Simon was born in Nashville,
Tenn, in 1874. He removed at an early
age to Cincinnati. He came to WASH
ington 16 years ago. He has been a
member of the board of education for
