d~ustrlous. honest. loyal character-a
triumph Of the homely virtues.
Although he failed In some Of his
most important tasks, Monroe's fall
ures were forgiven because they were
honest mistakes. The ridicule aud the
disgrace brought upon him by the most
spectacular episode OF his undramatIc
life would have buried forever a man
more brilliant and less sincere.
This remarkable scene was enacted
on the highly theatrical stage Of the
national convention at Paris directly
after the Reign Of Terror aud the fall
OF Robespierre, when France was the
outcast among nations. At that mo-
ment. Monroe appeared as the envoy
Of the only sister republic and, to LET
all the world see that the Revolution
had at least one friend left on earth
the president of the convention melo-
dramatically folded the rustic Virgin
ian In his arms.
After two years. he was recalled foI
his zeal. and came home In a rage OF
indignation. Passing by the gate of
Mount Vernon without paying his re-
spects to Washington, he paid them
instead in 500 pages which he pub
lished In defense OF himself and in de.
nunciation OF the administration. New,
ertheless, the discredited diplomat was
sent TO Paris again by President JEFF.
ferson In a few years, when he came
away covered with success, and with
the treaty for the purchase OF Louisi-

TO the Monroe doctrine. 10 years later

among Its members. he succeeded In
reconcillng TO his administration the
most divergent elements. In his de-
sire for harmony. he would also have
included Henry Clay and Andrew
Jackson, but they declined.
One day the British minister glared
across the White House dinner table
Are you biting your nails At me.
sirf' The Frenchman responded
by drawing his sword, and the two
diplomats rushed at each other. But
as they We're about to clash. the pres
ident drew his own sword between
them and stopped the fight.
That little incident gives us n pie
ture Of the spirit Of Monroe and his
administration. While he was In the
White House. men and factions had
to leave their quarrels az the door.
The quiet. modest president was not
SD successful In keeping the peace
among the women of the official cir
Gle, and their disputes over social rank
and precedence brewed many squalls.
Although Jim Monroe. as he was
Familiarity called. was the last presi-
dent to cling 10 the ancient Knee
breeches, cockade and sword. he was
as plain and easy as an old shoe.
When a newly arrived European
diplomat saw a bald-headed. watery-
eyed man In Il striped sesrsucker

that HIS name belonged TO them and

RAP LOW SALARIES
OF SCHOOL DOCTORS

Low salaries-s500 and $3.50 an
nually-of the medical inspectors
of the public schools of the Dis
trict. came in for a severe denun-
citation at a melting Of the directors
of the tuberculosis Association OF
the District yesterday.
Resolutions urging these salaries
be increased and the personnel of
the staff of inspectors be enlarged
sufficiently to cope with the needs
of the schools were passed.
Due to the small number of in
spectors, 1t was claimed. the school
children are not getting the atten-
tion they should get from 4 medi-
cal standpoint. The directors
strongly urged that a record system
be adopted whereby a concise and
complete record of each child would
be constantly on hand.

SENATE READY
| FOR THURSTON
School superintendent to
Take Stand in Probe
This Morning.
DR.. LEARNED COMING
Absent Board Member Re-
ported on Way Home
From Pacific Coast.
DR.. LEARNED COMING

Superintendent OF Schools Ernest
l.. Thurston Is expected to take the
stand at 10 o'clock this morning in
the Senate's inquiry into the Wash
ington school system. DR.. J. Hay
den Johnson. colored member Of the
| school board, who was heard yesterr
! day. Is the last member Of the board
I available at the present time.
DR.. Henry b. Learned who has
been in California, Is understood to
be on the way East to give his tes-
timony in the case, but has not ar
rived yet. Mrs. Susie Root Rhodes,
who has been i'll at home, has not
recovered sufficiently to be heard.
Those members of the board who
| have been cross-examined by the
Senate Committee are awaiting with
| considerable interest the examina-
| tion of Thurston. Some of them,
especially Mrs. Margarita s. Gerry,
felt the Senate Committee had been
unnecessarily gruelling in the con-
duct of the inquiry, and they are
anxious to see whether the same
attitude is to be expressed toward
Thurston.
Suspect Prejudgment.
Some of the board members felt,
il is understood. that the Senate
Committee had prejudged the case
and were favorably inclined toward
Thurston at the beginning. They
will, therefore, watch intently for
any evidence verifying or repudiat-
ing this feeling.
Senator Walsh. of Massachusetts,.
a member of the committee. said
he I'M
hearing, that he hoped the teachers
and school officials would not take
part in the controversy between the
school board and the superintendent.
! Such action on their part, he said.
not only might place them in an
embarrassing position. should the
icommittee's decision be adverse to
their stand. but that IT also would
not tend to promote harmony in the
schools.
PreJudiced Against Bruce.
In his testimony yesterday, DR..
johnson declared that when he went
on the school board. in 1906, he was
prejudiced against Assistant Super
intendent Bruce, in charge of col
ored schools. This prejudice, he
said. was engendered because of the
belief that Bruce was responsible
for appointments of teachers which
were being widely criticised by the
colored parents. He afterward
learned. he said. that this response
biIity belonged TO Superintendent
Thurston.
DR.. johnson said he considered
Thurston lacking in initiative and
force. and thought he kept his "ear
too close to the ground"
