are filled with political workers whose main
business is politics and who serve the county
on the side.
. Until the county and city governments are
merged this sort of thing will continue.
The remedy lies in a change in the law.
III there is opposition to a complete merger
at this time, there can be no valid objection
to an amendment of the Municipal Court
law putting that court under the control Of
the city, where it should have been put in
the first place.
1t is city court in fact. 1t should be
made city court in law by making 1t finan-
cially dependent on the City Council, 80
that there could be adequate control over it's
expenditures.
The moment it Is made a city court the
right of its president judge to mandamus the
city for the payment Of his bills would
automatically disappear, and at the same
time his power of making appointments
without the supervision Of the Civil Service
Commission would be taken from him, for
the Civil Service Commission has jurisdc-
tion over the qualifications Of all appointees
under the city government.
IL the administration wishes to put an
end to the Municipal Court scandal it will
send to Harrisburg early this winter n bill
amending the law creating it so as to make
it an integral part Of the city government.
Then those who want the present conditions
to continue would have to come out in the
open and fight for them IL they dared,

In the contiguous territory of almost any
other nation such contrasting achievements
would be impossible.
It Is not boastfulness which these wonders
should inspire in the mind Of the thinking
American, but rather a sense of profound

A CHIEF FOR THE SCHOOLS

THERE are many conflicting ideals of
Il education. And there are as MANY
dubious substitutes for true education aY
there are for virtue, for truth and for good
compilations. The business Of a supcrin-
tendent of schools in this city is to differ

There are people who sincerely believe that
ell cultural training favored by teachers,
wrongly called highbrow, represents waste
of time and effort in the schools, and that

Oyeremphasis on the value of vocational
training is the result of this doctrine.
Vocational training is valuable in many
ways. II tends definitely to give boys and
xirls a good start as CO. operative units in
a society that honors work and gives itself
up largely to productive effort But voca-
tfonal training alone will not cause boy
or a girl to hate wrong or to be a power on
me side of the things that are right and
therefore enduring. 1t will not provide, as

WOMAN'S NEW PLACE

As POLITICAL workers there are two
n roles which women can play with no
loss Of practical efficiency. One Is to affiliate
completely with the various party organiza-
tions TO the views Of which they may happen
70 subscribe The other Is to erect and main
tain a n0npartisan machinery.
or third arrangement, which won con-
siderable distinction in the late campaign,
the hest that can be said of it was that it
worked successfully in an emergency. The
women's committees, Republican and Demo
cratic. contributed substantial aid to the
older organizations. But for the future it Is
evident that the most solid practical results
with n minimum of wastage can be secured
nv n merger Of partisan interests regardless
of sex.
This is clearly the opinion held by the
women's Republican committee which Is CO.
operating with the Republican state COM
mittee in the formation Of plans looking
toward fusion of procedure. AS conse-
ouepce of the reorganization the state COM
mittee will probably include male chairman
and female vice chairman.
Ry the time the next national election rolls
around the status of women and men as par
tisan workers seems destined to be identical.
As enfranchised citizens, such women as seek
m hold aloof from the established political
movements are simply fostering an unjust
tradition which the nineteenth amendment
was designed to Obliterate.
And the obligation to fuse political activi-
ties rests as well upon independents as upon
professed Republicans or Democrats. The
