DR.. BROOME EXPLAINS

SUPERINTENDENT BROOME'S expla-
~ nation of the new regulations for the
appointment and promotion of supervising
principals of the schools ought to be reas-
suring.
The rules provide that after September l.
1925, n person to be eligible to appointment
as a principal must either be a college grad
unte or must possess such professional at
tainments as will enable him or her to pass
an examination under the direction of the
superintendent.
These rules apply to appointments after
The given date. They do not apply to any
principal now on the rolls. They do not
threaten the position of any one, nor do they
interfere with the promotion of principals
from one class to another. The salaries pro-
vided in the new schedule are to be paid to
those qualified to receive them.
The only persons affected by the new rules
are possibly thirty forty who may seek
to be promoted to the highest grade among
the principals. But DR.. Broome explains
that there is time for them to qualify before
the new standard is fully applied.
~ The purpose of the rules is to secure
better equipped principals in the future,
and inducements are offered which ought
TO lead those anxious for promotion to
qualify themselves.

THE EARTH'S ALL RIGHT

DARlS sizzles at 90. Heat records smash
into the ninCtieS at Quebec, famed for
its frigid pastimcs. San Franciscans are
dothng their summer ovcrcOatS and there is
CONSERVATION in the premier climate boast
ing State of the globe.
England is pNrchcd and burning Gibus
hats make way for PNnamas. The excess of
temperature in Philadelphia since January
l Of this year is 9SS degrees.
MCtcors are falling into the sun at q great
rate. and the melancholy belief that the
whole earth has tumbled into a stew pan
is prevalent. AS the ''sCorchers" pile up the
scientists may be expected to grow ncreas-
ingly vocal, and to analyzc, if not prescribe
for, the ailments Of this distracted globe.
And yet, is this soliCitude really needed?
One antidOtc for worry about high temper
atures and humidity on this prrvcrse old
earth is to look south-not merely to New
Orleans or Vera Cruz. but beyond. It's
winter in Chile, winter in the Falkland
islands, winter even In TERRA del Fuego.
Valparaiso, as usual, is drCading the blasts
of its icy 'southers."
Reflections on these themes will not keep
ones collar from whiting, but it will at
least reduce the fears of n planet gone
wrong, Some day perhaps the fact of two
hemsphcres will be grudgingIy admitted,
though it may jar the empiricsts and the
provincials.

Intelligent and appropriate nominations
of this character are precisely what is needed
to develop that psychological entente so
necessary to the good understanding of the
United States and Latin America.
DIR. Farabee's sympathies and scholar
ship are sufficiently broad to render him an
ideal legate of Nation that cannot afford
to overlook the magnitude of the step taken
by Peru 100 years ago, when the gallant
San Martin landed his memorable emanci-
pating expedition on her shores.
Some day, perhaps, the fifteen decisive
battles of the world will be rcclassified by a
chronclcr with a broader vision than that
possessed by Edward Greasy. Ayacucho
which virtually broke the last vestiges of the
Spanish royal power in America, deserves
conspicuous place upon the new list. That
memorable victory was rendered possible not
only by Sucrc, Bolivar's resourccful lieu
tenant, but by that daring proclamation of
freedom heard upon the Plaza dc Armas OF
Lima on that historic July 2S n century ago.
