against war, but during le14-lel8 he
was the largest individual subscriber to
British war loan bonds. Again, he has
written copiously in defense Of the
former Kaiser, and yet is the author Of
the bitterest and most ludicrous satire
about him. He thinks Ct himself as a
teacher of ethics, but the net effect OF
many Of his dramas has been a general
relaxation of traditional moralities. He
is an Irishman, but he has made only a
negative contribution to Irish national
ism. He Is an apostle CT science, q
prophet of the machine age, and yet Is
capable Of pokirg fun at mechanical
progress. A spokesman for youth, he
has to his credit the most competent
apology fer old age penned in his time.
A Socialist, he upholds individualism
Altogether, he is a contradiction, cease
lessly changing, a modern Don Quixote,
fencing with all varieties of windmills
and yet now and again exhibiting an
amazing sanity of opinion.
His lecture to the American public
doubtless will be memorable event.
II it follows his custom, it will bristle
with paradoxes. He will praise and he
will blame. Its effect will be contro-
versial. But good. bad or Indifferent, it
will be worth hearing, worth reading.

simply as signs Of nominal victory in
the scrimrlage for place and power.
Diploma mills sprang up like toadstools,
and were just as poisonous. The whole
business was scandal. And it is
against that background that Mr.. AIKEN
appears as superintendent of schools in
Chicago. His elevation is slap in the
face for the academicians. and they
have richly deserved 1t.
But that does not mean that any
man with penchant for directing edu-
cational policy is qualified for such
position. On the contrary, the country
Is full of grossly incompetent people
who for one reason or another feel
inspired to teach or to serve on school
boards or otherwise to tinker with the
preparation of youth for the duties and
responsibilities of adult life. Many of
them are faddists of the rankest sort,
as dangerous to educational progress as
even the most offensive of academic
doctrinarians. Many represent special
interests only too willing to exploit the
schools for their own purposes. Many
are just presumptively intrusive, cour-
ageously interfering where they are
neither wanted nor in any respect use
full. From all such meddlers children,
II not the institutions established for
them. should be guarded.
The natural question, then, is: How
may the truly qualified teacher be
identified? Mr.. Aken's comment fur
nishes clue. The species of instructor
who is wanted may be detected by ex-
animation of the motives of his choice
OF educational endeavor as a profession
and by consideration of his experience.
The born teacher will have in his psy-
Geological character sane ;.:i gen.
erous love Of children, balanced judg-
ment with regard to what may be done
with and for them. and whole hearted
devotion to education as such rather
than to any special notion about educa-
tional methodology. His technique will
be natural, not an artificial one. His
training will be that Of the field in
which he wishes to labor. He may be
deficient in calculus, but he will know
all that Is necessary to know about
arithmetic; he may not be skilled in
the moral philosophy Of Erasmus or the
jurisprudence Of Grotius or the sociology
Of John Locke, but he will have heard
Of the Constitution Of the United States
and Of Alexander Hamilton and Andrew
Jackson, John Marshall and Daniel
Webster, George Washington and
Abraham Lincoln. He will be compe-
tent to teach what children want to be
taught. He will be bred In the Ameri-
can tradition and will be loyal to
American ideals He will have his
qualifications in his head, not necessar-
lily on his visiting card, and in his
heart he will have the prime pre-
requisite of successful teaching-a gen.
uine love of learning for its own and
mankind's sake. He will be born to
teach, not made.

Bruce BartOn's Criticism
Held to Be Untimely
To the Editor Of The Star:

Bruce Barton, in his preachment en-

mitted his facile pen to lead him into

liking.

At Last.

For forty years, more or less, his
American friends have been trying to
lure George Bernard Shaw to the
United States. They have assured him
q hearty welcome; they have made him
attractive offers for lecture tours and
other personal appearances; they
have promised him every generous sort
OF hospitality. But Mr.. Shaw always
has avoided an acceptance. He said
he was afraid Of being scalped by the
Red Indians of Broadway or lynched
by the Ku Klux Klan. He pretended
to be apprehensive of Ellis Island.
Dozens of excuses served his momen-
tary purpose. In effect, his attitude
was that of a professional "stay-away."
But his resolution has been dissolved
ct last. He is coming to New York to
deliver an address before the Academy
of Political Science and a gallery of
the academy's guests. The Metro
politan Opera House has been hired for
the occasion, and every seat has been
taken.
Mr.. Shaw certainly is one of the
celebrities of the age. He Is constantly
in the limelight in one connection or
another. A man Ct tireless energy, his
interests are legion in number. Nothing
is too small to engage his attention, and
by the same token nothing is tco large
But he is a defiant personality. It is
utterly impossible to classify him. For

Three diplomats announced by Presi-
dent Roosevelt are discussed by the
country with unusual interest because
of the belief that they have special
qualifications. Judge Robert w. Bing-
ham, publisher of the Louisville Courier
Journal, for envoy to Great Britain;
Jesse Isidor Straus, New York business
man, for the Paris post, and former
Secretary Josephus Daniels, publisher
of the Raleigh IN. c. News and OBJ
server, for Mexico City, are appraised
with full recognition Of personalities
and fitness.
"They will do honor to the President
and the country" says the Atlanta Jour-
nal. While recognizing that they are
"all intimates of the new President, and
theirs may be called personal appoint

of themselves" The Roanoke World
News advises that "Mr Roosevelt has

customary American policy of appoint
