STAYING on THE JOB

ITNSUNG, unpaid, hut not unhonored, are
u the school teach ers of Chicago, re-
turning to their duty this fall despite the
fact that most of th,em were owed sever
al months in salary by the second largest
city in the country.
Chicago's inability to pay its teachers
and their municipal employees was the
subject of much comment last spring,
but the condition dropped from sight
during the summer
With the reopening of Chicago schools
it is again brought to light Not only
are most of the teach ers owed for three
months of last years salary but there
seems little prospect for them to collect
this years wages for some time to come.
But the teachers were on the job
ready to welcome pupils when the schools
reopened this week for the fall term.
Many of the teachers have been living
close to poverty for months, but it did
not keep them from putting on a cheer
full front before the youngsters and
starting off the years work as though
everything was right in the world.
They will get no medals and there will
be some who will accuse them of stick
ing to the schools because there is moth
ing else for them to do That may or
may not be true, the fact remains that
the teachers have stood by the city which
has not stood by them. There has been
no talk of strikes" or other methods of
redress. They have been making the best
of a bad business and fair-minded per-
sons will give them the credit of having
loyalty to their profession that is big
enough to outweigh the resentment
which they must have because of the
city's wastefulness which has made pay
ment of their salaries impossible
The Chicago school teachers are en-
titled to the highest commendation for
carrying on" when there is every in
centive for them to quit and to quit in
disgust.

THE UGLY CROWD

OUR admiration for designers of lethal
y weapons never has been excessive,
but there are occasions upon which we
are moved by a profound and all but in
| eXpressible sympathy for the destructive
spirit that animates them. There are
moments when the notion of wholesale
destruction gives off clean and sanitary
aroma.
In Hollywood the other day the hus-
band of famous movie star died sud
denly, apparently by his own hand A
crowd gathered around the home of the
widows parents, where she was staying.
and regaled itself by listening to the
bereaved actresses hysterical cries. An
accurate and 100-per cent effective
death-ray launched at that crowd would
have rendered some real service to the
human race.
The mob is perhaps humanity's ugli-
est manifestation, no matter what mo-
tives activate the mob-whether it be
gathered in anger for pleasure, or for
morbid curiosity 1t is possible that the
mob in question included some persons
who, as individuals, were not far below
par-but the mob was one of the ugli-
est and most contemplate of mobs, and
any creature who helped to swell it could
be crossed off humanity's roster with
out inipairing the progress of evolution.
Certain of the lower orders of crea-
tion are distinguished by the paucity of
their own vitality and their flabby depend
ence upon other forms of life. The low
est of human creatures are those who,
having no emotional life of their own,
suck emotional nourishment by preying
upon the emotions of others. When a
crowd of these creatures gathers to hear
a widow cry, the law should prescribe
use of lethal insecticide.
The world would be cleaner and SUM-
nier place today, if that Hollywood
crowd had been wiped out swiftly, with
out notice from the newspapers.-San

with what they were up against

ing" has unburdened himself in a
reminiscent fashion about those early
days.
CPEAKING Of the campaign Of 1872,
~ when Cornell by great effort man
aged to scramble together the lads
and money for an intercollegiate entry,
he recalls:
THE misery of that terrible cam
paign comes back like a nightmare
to the writer, whose red blood was
proof against all sorts Of ignorant
abuse, and so he is left to tell the
story
"The diet had an unbroken lack
of variety and balance Beef and
potatoes three times a day; stewed
prunes for breakfast, but no raw fruit
at any time, and no green vegetable
salads. For drink, hot tea and a bottle
Of Bass ale were provided, but no milk.
"A much restricted quantity of
water was prescribed in order to keep
down the weight, for the plan was to
reduce every man 25 pounds, whether
fat or lean, and sure way to do it was
through the loss of perspiration from
violent exercise, without an adequate
supply Of water to restore the balance.
Under this rule of ignorance the
crew steadily lost weight and strength
and was soon afflicted with Jobs COM
forters' until the daily routine became
almost unbearable
OsTROM blamed the old profess
" sional oarsmen who were the first
college coaches for the lack Of
proper training methods.
He was usually a man who trained
faithfully the time required to get into
so-called condition and then went into
exces-es and idleness the balance of
the year. The result was that he be-
came a jumbo Of fat which had to
be trained OF each succeeding race.
His natural formula, therefore, was
to reduce every man 25 pounds in
weight This was accomplished by
walking and running the candidates,
when overdressed with sweat clothes
and putting them in bed under quilts
upon return to quarters to parboil for
Is or 20 minutes. There can be
no reasonable doubt that this barbarous
method caused the early breakdown
and untimely death of many a prom
1sing and naturally healthy athlete"
Under Ostrom's leadership, radical
reforms in training were instituted
shortly in 1875. Its first public test
came against Charlie Courtney's big
crew from Union-Springs, Charlie row.
