Win. McAndrew, bond of the
Washington Irving Technical school.
New York, for u number of years,
and recently appointed superintend
ent of the Detroit public school sys
tem, In a letter to President 0. Cit Id
berg, of the Board of Education, re
reived Friday morning, states he will
accept the position, provided the
board amends the rules eo that a
merit system shall govern the ap
pointment and promotion of teachers
and principals.
President Goldberg Immediately
called together the members of tbs
board who voied to elect Mr. Me-
Andrew, for a conference Eight of
the ten McAndrew supporters re
hponded, the other two being un
avoidably absent. The absen’ees.
Inspectors Ellis and Robertson, were
agreeable to the proposed change,
according to those present, and the
meeting unanimously consented to
make the change.
Mr. McAndrew was nt once noti
fied of the ac tion of the majority of
the boatd, and it is understood that
he will come to Detroit wlthiu a few
days to take over the office.
Those present in the conference,
which was held in President Gold
berg’s store, w'ere: Inspectors
Burton, Mumford, Kennedy. Bogun,
Hunter, Small, Condon and the presi
dent.
“We are Just as anxious, as Mr.
McAndrew to adopt the merit system
for the teachers and principals,” bald
President Goldberg to The Times,
after the meeting, "and we are ;;lad
that he has made the suggestion.
The amendment practic ally means a
for mos civil service for The teachers
and principals. It will be beneficial
to them, as it will take them ou*. cf
politics entirely, giving them a
chance to advance in their profession
an merit. Hereafter, those who give
satisfaction and show' efficiency In
their work will be in no danger of
losing their positions.”
OSBORN SETS FDRTN HIS
VIEWS ON STATE LABOR
From a Staff Correspondent.
LANSING, Mich., July 26. —Gover-
nor Osborn has received a letter from
the secretary of the International
Longshoremen’s association of Buf
falo, N * Y., containing a complaint,
filed by the secretary of the union
at Traverse City, Mich., to the effect
that i&tients at the Traverse City
hospital Are employed in unloading
freight. The international secretary
says that if he understands the Mich
igan statute there is a clause prohib
iting hutane patients from competing
with free laborers.
In replying to the complaint of the
international secretary. Governor Os
born says:
**l hate your letter of July 22nd,
enclosing copy of letter from Charles
Kroupa. 1 will have the matter look
ed up at once, but really, Mr. O’Con
nor, I wish to be frank and direct
and open with you. I believe In or
ganised labor, and I believe in even
a minimum wage, and I am for the
rights cf labor at all times; but 1
hold the state of Michigan to be
above the laboring classes, although
the laboring classes are the most im
portant eietnent in the state; and if
the state of Michigan has servants
or proteges who can work, and there
is worl to do. that work ought to
be done for the state by them.
"I do not believe that tlx* state or
the state institutions should compete
with free labor In the open market
whenever it can be avoided, but I
do believe that the state should do
as nearly all of its own work as is
possible. I am making these state
, roent* .in general because 1 have not
iufestigated the situation at Traverse
City. If Dr. Munson said the funds
of the institution were low, he told
the exact truth."

STOCK MARKET IS DULL

IS STRONG UNDERTONE

STEADY TONE AT CLOSE
Purchases by Banking Interests
are Due to Satisfactory
Reports On Crops
NEW YORK. July 26—The stock
market lost much of the enthusiasm
that it showed during the final trad
ing of yesterday, and. after some
activity at the opening, it became
rather dull and narrow. Prices held
firm, however, and there was a strong
undertone throughout, with sharp
gains In on or two shares On the ad
vance there were few offerings, anti
In some of the standard shares the
buying appeared to be heavy. An
nouncement that some of the trans
continental lines would soon advance
rtoes sharply, so as to bring the long
and short haul charges upon an equal
basis, and thus conform with the prin
ciples laid down in the recent de
cision, excited a good deal of atten
tion.
The stock market paid little atten
tion to the YY’ashington news, but the
developments Indicated that much of
the buying by banking Interests was
based on private advices touching the
satisfactory progress of the crops.
The banks put out relatively little
money on time, and such offerings as
were made appeared to l>e chiefly for
short periods. Some of the largest j
\\ r all-st. hanks confined their offerings ;
to loans.
The market closed steady.

Age Like the Dying Day.
Have you ever noticed the fondneas
of old people for sitting in the dying
sun?
Aa (he day dies and the heat of the
cun'a rays declines grandma will take
h r knitting and, finding her favorite
place upon the porch, will go there
to doze and dream.
And grandpa, taking his favorite
pipe, will wander out to a neat be
r.oEth the treeß to mumble to himself,
to fight over in his mind the battles
of i.L jouth. but happy and content
ed that the sun shall shine on him.
What is the mystical connection be
tween those who are nearing the
eternal sunset and the dying orb of
the heavens? "Age. like woman, re
quires tit surroundings," declared the
philosopher. Emerson, but there Is
something almost unearthly in the In
stinct that attracts old people to the
end of the day, no matter how' fitting
may be the surroundings.
Old people under such conditions
are happy. If bo. it is because they
are enjoying the slender rewards of
a life well spent, because they are
enjoying a leisure well earned.—Cin
cinnati Commercial Tribune.
From the fnct that the teeth In the
tkulln of prehistoric men that have
been found in Europe from time to
time are much worn, a French scien
tist ha* drawn the conclusion that
they lived upon food much contami
nated with sand.
