The frou tiers have been pushed back so far and the little red sohoolhouse of the cross roads has been succeeded so universally by the steam-heated, many-roomed, highly organized public school that ed ucation by the state is regarded as the right of every child and is valued less higuly in conscquence of the ease of Its acquisition. Will the District's public schools bring: the children of Washington this year more keenly to recognize the fact that they are preparing themselves for the serious work of later years? In this lies the test of any educational system. It is not so much a question of how high a scholastic standard Is main tained by the pupils, how attractive are the exhibitions of wo- . displayed toward the close of the year. It is certainly not a question of how many pupils achieved distinction on the ath letic field, or which school wins the most prizes, or which has the most popular fraternities. It may not even be a question of which teacher has the largest classes; indeed, the larger the class the less likely It is to yield the maximum of benefit to the pupil. The rt<il success is scored by the school in which the pupils, while treated as chil dren and saved as far as possible from the grind that makes them prematurely old. are brought to understand that I lie lessons they art* learning, are all preparatory and contributory, and that the hours they spend within the school rooms are investments in future suc cess. When all ? ? said the equation resolves down to two factors?tin teacher and the pupil. The teacher may represent an elaborate institution with many su nerior officials and much administrative machinery. She may be aided or hin dered by the mechanism of school or ganization But in any case her effi ciency. her knowledge of human na ture. her tactfulness. and finally her professional equipment determine her value as the representative of tlie state in the process of making men and women out of boys and girls. Given ideal teachers nest of the administra tive structure might be swept away and the schools allowed to rest upon their own foundations. But teachers nvfl direction and encouragement, and, in some cases, regulation, because, un fortunately. all are not up to the high- ! est standard. The profession is poorly paid, lar below its real merits and the needs of the community. And because it is poorly paid it seems to l>e neces sar\ to maintain an expensive system of administration winch is depended upon to equalize the uneven merits of I individuals and to give the children the maximum of benefit. Edward Butler. Boss. An old-style political boss paid the debt of nature in St. I.ouis the other day. H. was rich, and his money had all been j acquired in political activity. For years i lie "ran the town." He was frankness itself, and boasted that in the period oi his power he had stolen many elections. His name was Edward Butler. with out education, he had risen from poverty. He had the knack of managing men. and exercised it. His motto was "get there." He got there. The slums of St. l.ouis obeyed him. and the usufruct of his in tluence was gladly accepted by men "higher up." At last the town experienced an awak ening. The people rebelled at the steady and open boodling, and found a leader in a young lawyer who had been elected prosecuting attorney. Joseph vV. Folk discovered a good deal to prosecute; and in the face of many threats did his duty. He broke up the boodling, and scattered ttie boodlers. Among the boodlers prosecuted was Butler. He was indicted, tried and con victed on the charge of bribery, but won on an appeal to a higher court. Ills wealtn secured the best of lesal talent, and the skillful maneuvering of skillful lawyers brought him out of his tribula tions. He did no "time." But his power was broken. He was unable to resume business at the old stand. He was a marked man; and then tne tow n had none beyond him. And yet it is stated that Butler re tained the friendship of many men of gootl standing in tne community. He was rough and tough, and disfigured by his record, but it was said of him that his v.ord was as good as his bond, and that he had never deserted a friend. How often that eulogy has carried a man of that kind! The old bosses are passing, though hossism is not. New times, new men; new men, new methods. In every large city is an element that responds readily to what is called "doing business." The Butlers had their way with it for a long time, and, armed with it, created wealth for themselves and power for others. In one quarter they were democrats. In another quarter tney were republicans. l'he successors oi these men must find new paths, and will. Wealth and power still ailurt. While the fields for bosses remain, bosses will develop. But it Is something to believe that the era of bold election highwaymanry has passed, and that a closer watch is set now on the polls than has hitherto been known. The promptness with which the Beattie case was handled has led to comparisons with the expedition shown in the Crlppen trial As a matter of fact the Beattie trial shows to advantage, as the judge sacrificed less time and dignity in an effort to impress the importance of liis personal emotions. Kudvard Kipling docs not hesitate to speak disparagingly of America's social tendencies. And many Americans re garded the furoie which Mr. Kipling's en terta'nlng but brusque literary style created us one of the most significant symptoms of relaxing standards. A good solid vote for reciprocity would be one means which Canada might em ploy for the discouragement of undig nified methods in influencing elections. Occasionally a political indorsement gets in so eacly as to run the risk of be ing forgotten before the convention or ganizes. The extra session got away before some of the finest weather of the year was due. The Chinese Turmoil. The Chinese situation grows more dis quieting with eacli fresh dispatch from the disturbed provinces. The people seem to be thoroughly aroused against both the government and the foreigners, and it is with great difficulty that the Im perial forces are preserving order in the regions immediately surrounding the most seriously affected province, Sze Chuen. This province lies on the extreme western border of China proper, adjoining Tibet. It Is difficult of access, and consequently the foreign gunboats are of little or no use in effecting a rescue of endangered citizens. There is reason to believe that most of the missionaries and other for eigners have escaped to comparatively untroubled places, though there can be no positive assurance of their security until they are on board men-of-war, or have reached Shanghai. Details of the uprising are so meager that the whole case Is virtually left to the imagination, but it is not difficult to conceive the case, with recollection of the happenings of lOuo, which were fully described in all their distressing circumstances after peace had been restored. The Chinese govern ment is much stronger now than It was eleven years ago, and It is to be believed that it will quell this revolt eventually. For the sake of China it is to be hoped that this ran be done without calling upon the powers for assistance or the organization of an international relief ex pedition. Far eastern intrigue would be greatly stimulated by such an outcome of this disturbance, and in all likelihood China would emerge from the affair with curtailed territory, and with possibly at least two of the powers lowering at one another over the spoils. At all events these discussions of Alas ka's resources have served to do away with the suspicions once so general that Russia sold I'ncle Sam a gold brick. Per haps the day will come when the Philip pines, instead of being contemplated with misgivings, will be the subject of the con servationist's most cherishing care. Russian assassins who select the the ater as the scene of attack are likely to get into trouble with grand opera per formers. who resent anything that shafts attention away from them. The Kentucky judge who ruled that a woman's hair dye bill must be paid on the ground that hair dyeing is a neces sity may be something of a cynic, but he is also a philosopher. Maybe some of those sentimentalists who so Industriously sympathize with Henry Clay Reattie would e\en take a chance ?>n going driving with him on a lonely road. It is but natural that a governor should desire as much in the way of state rights as possible. The dignity and importance of his own position demand it. When the governors ret together they ins st on saying a tew things Instead of being content to eln t officers and indulge in passing personalities. Mr. Me'lfn has full?.' explained tha* his talk of resiening was a joke. Mr Mellen is a railway man: not a humor ist. F'aris has lost the Mona Lisa, but it still has the Moulin Rouge and Maxim's to at tract tourists. SHOOTING STAES. BY nill.ANKKU JOHNSON. Close Calculation. "Horse sick?" auket| the man in the buggy. "Yep," replied the man with a spring wa gon "Hard luck, ain't it!" "Oh. I dunno. It's gcttin' so medicine is* cheaper than hay." ' Kxpectin' a man to find satisfaction in hearin' about yoh troubles," said I'ncle Eben, "gives him credit fob havin' a party pore disposition." The Tariff. 'Tis so complex there seems to be No way to finally arrange it. As soon as it is right for me Sonii' one is sure to want to change it. The Live Litterateur Resented. "You don't seem to care for any au thors except those of a previous genera tion." "Well," replied Mr. cumrox, "I am kind o" prejudiced in their favor. You see, there's no chance that mother an' the girls will invite em to parties to act supercilious and superior."' Benefited. "Yes," said Farmer Corntossei, "I read every one of those speeches you printed in the Record." "Did they benefit you?" "Yes, sir. I won the two dollars Zeb Perkins bet that it couldn't be done " The House Fly's Doom. Oh, hated malefactor of ill-health. The foe alike of poverty and wealth. Your end approaches! We rejoice to know That you ere long must hear the call and go. Y'our destination is a matter small. You've got to make your get-away?that's all. And when the frost compels you to de part No friends will be on hand to see you start. There will be much rejoicing through the town. The brow on which you grazed will lose its frown. The germ that used you for an aeroplane Must now get out and walk, its goal to gain. No more your ribald song is harshly sung: No more you sound that fierce triumphant "Stung!" No more to scenes of squalor shall you turn, As gay as Nero when he watched Rome burn. You've had your day: and though the winds may roar And snowdrifts pile around the shiver ing door And hailstones rattle, we will smile and cry. "Thank Heaven, this climate keeps away the fly!" The "Masher." From ih^ l'l?-Telan<l Plain Dealer. The Cleveland judge who proposes to discourage "mashers' by sending them where penal resrtaint makes street corner loafing impossible will have the backing of the public if he sticks to his purpose. The "masher" is at heart a thug and would become one actively if he had the courage. The law should deal with him somewhat upon that basis. Other cities have had more frequent occasion to deal with this brand of offender than has Cleveland. But his habits are the same everywhere. He belongs to a universal brotherhood of undesirability. whose ex termination by whatever means possible is a public necessity. Against the Sweatshop. From the New York Times. Nobody will try to defend the sweat shop system. Its effects in the ill ven tilated and poorly lighted homes of thou sands of women and children of this city are generally understood and con demned. If permitted to go on unrestrict ed by reasonable measures, this business will continue largely to nullify the efforts of the authorities to make the city's con gested quarters sanitary and habitable. But a specific report, carefully prepared, Is needed before the legislature can deal with the situation justly. The New York child labor committee proposes that a commission to prepare such a report be created now by legislative enactment, so that It may present Its remedial bills to the legislature of 11*12. Graft in Cuba. From the Philadelphia Ledger. If half the stories that are brought from Cuba are true the moral state of the government does not differ greatly from that of oui own country a few generations ago, when legislative and executive corruption flourished with a far more flagrant disregard of decency and right than anything of which the present has cognisance. The Cubans are now in an elemental stage of self government. It is, perhaps, too much to expect of them that they should at tain at the beginning of their experi ment to a stage of efficiency and hon esty to which many older self-govern ing communities with more than a cen tury of experience and training have not reached. _ You'll appreciate the superiority of our store service ?the splendid assorted stocks, with matched suites for every purpose?and the courteous and intelligent atten tion of our salesmen.
