most horrible tragedy the Pacific coast has known in
many year, may be speedily caught and as speedily
dealt with by law.

so cruelty at this season of the year.
1t is cruel thing to say but true Little Mar
Ian Parker might not be dead had those in whose
charge she had been placed taken the time to ascertain
the truth of the message brought to the school where
she was pupil, by the fiend who killed her. We do
not blame those in charge They believed they were
dong the proper thing in sending the little girl,
as they supposed, to her injured father.
But II they had taken just the few minutes needed
to verify his story True it is had the father really
been injured, valuable time would have been lost in get
ting his child to him. better this however than to trust
a little life to fiend
School teachers are burdened with a heavy RESPONSE
blllty when the state places children in their charge
for number of hours each day. No matter how the
message comes, nor how important it may appear, no
child should be turned to the custody of stranger
unless that stranger is accompanied by an officer of
the law Better STILL the child should be released
from the custody of the school but should be accom-
panied IN case of emergency, by some responsible
person from the school,.
1t is easy matter to close the stable door after
the horse has been taken. However lesson can be
learned from this sad If the fate of Marian

So the Associated Master BARRIERS of that thriving

tonsors'.
SO BARRIERS, which has been perfectly good Eng
lsh word for thousand years, passes out of use-n
Detroit at least. simple clear, forcible term that
everybody understands and has to give way to
mongrel poysylabe, half Greek and half Latin, which
nobody understands unless he has college education

The BARRIERS, for some peculiar other,

word that good enough for Shakespeare and has
served its purpose in English speaking countries and
most Others for that matter since modern civilization
began.
''Chiro" is said to be from "cher' Greek word
meaning hand. "Tonsor" is Latin word meaning
"shearer shaver. Barber" is from the Latin word
meaning beard.
Maybe it isn't polite to refer to boards any more.
Maybe "hand-cutter" is better. And maybe all of US
will be going around shoppynge for chrotonsures
instead of shaves haircuts.

It's little disconcerting though, to learn from the

trend was to higher levels. The de-
