It is an issue that is resumed periodically, never finally disposed of and never settled to the entire satisfaction of all. The Chicago Tribune, however, discusses the matter and disposes of it in a most logical and common sense manner. To quote in art: iH “It is a habit in this town. We are always in a rumpus over teachers’ rights, the teachers’ needs, the teachers’ elaims and it has apparentiy become fixed in the public mind fhat the schools and the pupils exist for the teachers and pot vice versa. 2 * “As to the question of the Inquiring Reporter, we think, the one reply which took the children primarily into account had a good deal of truth in it. The speaker, a girl student, said married women understand children better than sirgle women. Of course this is a generalization with many ex- ¢eptions, but in the main we think it holds good. But the other answer which did not leave out the children wholly’, held that single teachers who are younger get the viewpoint of younger people better. = “Our own opinion is that there should be no general rule either for or against married women. If they are good teachers they should be employed whether married or not. “The whole question turns upon whether the teacher is éompetent and faithful. It turns in other words on the welfare of the school children and on nothing else.” ? And after all school administration in any city whether it is in Chicago or in Bismarck should turn upon the welfare of the school children and nothing else. A policy that forces little children in the east end of the city to face cold and Stormy weather for sixteen blocks is not a policy ip the wel- fare of the school children, especially when a school is avail- able at their very doors. A policy which closes a beautiful fire-proof building to complete occupancy in favor of an in- sanitary, foul smelling fire-trap is not a policy in the wel- fare of the school children. In casting around for a program for 1925, the Association of Commerce, and the various civic luncheon clubs might well turn their attention to the school management in Bis- marck demanding less effort in “pinching” the school dollar and more vision as regards the welfare of the school chil- dren of Bismarck. These are vital problems. Of course they call for a de- termined stand, some toes may be stepped on, but the net results will be on the side of the welfare of the children if the issues are honestly and fairly faced. It is so easy for clubs and organizations to follow paths of least resistance and play the “be glad” and “everything is all right” theory. This course may be restful &nd calm, but it gets the city and its citizens nowhere. If 1925 is to mark real progress there are some outstand- ing civic jobs to tackle which may not be pleasant but which have been too long neglected. abeee MIGHT CALL THEM STATESMEN? Former Governor Pardee, of California, wants the word “politician” made respectable. It can’t be done. You may make politics and politicians respectable; but not the word. Even in Shakespeare’s time, it was the “scurvy politician,” and always, the word denoting the most important of human occupations is a term of reproach. 3 “Knave Editorial Review Comments reproduced tm tbis column may or may not oxprese the opinion of The Tribune. hey are presented here in order our readers may have both sides of important issues which are te RS lecussed in the press of HADDON HALL CLOSED | (The Children’s Newspaper) It is sad to hear that Haddon the Duke of Rutland’s beau- tiful seat in Derbyshire, will no ‘longer be open to the public.

Just because it had seen a picture ina fairy-tale book and took a silly notion that it wanted adventures! Well—after everybody and every- thing had run away from it except the fishes and one frog, the dragon kept on going and going and lashing its green tail and rolling its six jam- pot eyes. But one of the eyes rolling side- ways saw the frog. “What ho!” said the ‘dragon. “Why do you stand and stare, dum- my? Why don’t you run?” “I can't run,” said jthe frog. only hop.” ‘Then why don’t you hop?” said the dragon. “Why should’ I?” blinked the frog “I'm very comfortable.” , “Aren't you afri asked the dragon in surprise and blowing all “y 60 million dollars invested in the famous transcontinental pathway since 1913.

Being a tree and having no adventures is a dull business, I'm off.” But two things worried him. Not quite everything in the world was afraid of him—the frog wasn’t. It was like wearing fine new clothes but having a pin sticking in you. It took all the fun out. The other thing was that his place was taken. He thought he'd be missed, but he wasn't. So the poor old silly dragon hid in a mountain valley all alone. “Oh, dear! What's the use of three heads and a long tail!” he wailed. “I want to be a nice tree again. I was a goose to make such a silly wish.” But I'll tell you the end of the story. The Fairy Queen hunted him up and waved her wand again. And now there are two beeches and no: dragon.

Mr. Key had been in poor health for a number of months but left his work as machinist in the Northern Pacific shops only three weeks ago. On Monday evening at his home he suffered a stroke of paralysis and from then until his death yesterday he sank rapidly. He was 66 years old and was born May 30, 1857 at Nashville, Tennessee, On southern railroads he had leatned the trade as machinist and worked there for several. years before com- ing to Brainerd, Minn., where he \first went into the employ of the Northetn Pacific.

So you see we had the same thought at the; same time.” “You darling,” said my husband and he closed my eyes with kisses. “Jack,” I said, “I found out many things today about men and women, age and youth, love and hate, pride and thumility and I tell you that I think that to a woman like my dear| mother age has many ¢ompensa-| tions.” Jack pushed his head around so that he could look into my face. “Yes,” I answered his look. know that women are expected to lose all when they get old.

I didn’t ask for any more explanations. I did | not want to make any recrimina- tions. I only just tried to be happy again. Jack could stay only 24 hours and I wasn’t going to have them spoiled. Two or three times we skated on pretty thin ice, however. One time in particular when Jack unexpect- edly tried to tell me something about Mable Carter. (Copyright, 1925, NEA Service, Inc.)

Rowell Compulsory voting laws all begin at the wrong end. | What is the use of requiring people to vote until you have | first made it possible for them to vote intelligently ? ij And this is not a mere matter of having intelligent voters. | American business men are mostly intelligent; but how many | of them vote intelligently on state treasurer? It is all a matter of what you ask the people to do. Any ballot which the directors of the Chamber of Commerce and the faculty of political science of the university can not vote intelligently, is too much for the rest of us. And that is the sort of ballot most of our states and coun- ties impose on their citizens. \ The federal ballot is simple enough. All we elect, of the | national government, is the president and Congress. It will be time enough to demand compulsory voting when we make our state and local ballots as simple. ‘ Why should belated citations for bravery 27 years old be shocking enough to be worth a headline? That is the way Uncle Sam pays his money debts, too. A routine claim will go through, by the routine, but any- thing requiring judgment may wait generations. , It is not lack of good will, but simply the incapacity of the machine to operate. Congress does not dare delegate enough power to execu- tive departments which are irresponsible and inaccessible to it, and the mass of detail is too much for Congress itself. Whenever Congress can have the heads of the executive departments regularly before it, to quiz them, as is done in other countries, it will also be will- ing to dump more of its present bur- den of detail on their better-staffed departments. WAIT FOR THE REAL SCIENTISTS Every day finds out something new, in the deep mystery of life. The latest is another vitamine— “vitamine X.” Rats fed on a “pure food” diet, plus green leaves for the growth vitamine, are perfectly normal. Substitute orange juice, which al- so contains the same growth vita- mine, and they thrive equally well— but have no young. Add one drop of a concentrated oil extract from wheat germs, and abundant families follow. All of which, so far, has been tried only on rats, But if these.new students of the} Processes of life find out as much, as the students of other sciences have already done with steam and| these are the staff of life. electricity—what next?

A foot struck a small stone, and the child tumbled over in agony. Mrs, Jones came running from the house. The child’s stocking’ was rolled down, but there was not a mark’to show any injury. The pain ‘continued, however, and Mrs. Jones called the doctor. “A sprain,” was the doctor's ex- planation, after a short examination. “Now get me some hot water, and some bandages.” When the water was ready the ankle was immersed, and held in the water for quite a while. Afterward bandages were wrapped about the ankle. They were not made too tight. Just enough to hold the joint in position. The child was put to bed, and Mrs. Jones instructed to see that he kept the foot very quiet. Witch-hazel was used to moisten the bandage. Mrs. Jones learned, that’ gentle rubbing of the affected? part helped to relieve the pain. ee ST i One of the recent defenders of Berlin now serves as a sightseer on Governors Island, New York.
