Two schools,

one on the West sides of the city, are devoted to the education, of crippled children. To these little unfortunates are carried each day In busses provided by the board of education. Three schools sre set aside for the Instruction of the blind ijnpjier* the deaf are taught. The

boodllng alderman at an opport Had they not hare dope so tbs street railway tangle with which the city is laboring at tbs present time would have been settled month* ago. and several aldermen -would no doubt have been willing to quit politics for good, but the city and the voters would have been poorer for that set-

tlement.

a good price and moved to Loncon. which j was not bothering so much about mu-1 nlclpal reform as It was about the solution of a perplexing transportation prob- , lem Yerkes left other eastern capitalists to solve the problem be did not care to l attempt, and they are finding It hard to solve In their way. It cannot be said that these new owners of Chicago Union Traction have so much «i> thought ofa fund for franchise purchase purpose*, but bad they done so It would have been practically useless, for they must deal with the "free" portion of the city government. The Chicago dty council of today is not of the purchasable kind. It is remarkable what amount of study the Chicago aldermen have given the street railway franchise problem. They have Investigated conditions In every large city In the country; they hare undeniable figures at their finger ends with which to pulverize every poverty argument which the companies put forward. The aldermen hold the long end of this stick, and they know It. but they are anxious to grant a franchise whenever the companies are willing to accept one that will be fair to the dty as well aa to the corporations. Until then the com-

panies can wait

Tha mother of a small six-year-old daughter found the child without rubber* on a rainy morning. To shield the little one from the Inclemency of the weather as much as possible she started early to the shoe merchant purchase the needed footwear, bnt v so detained that she was some two minutes late In t'eacblng the seboolhouas. The mother explained to the teacher why the child was late the two minutes, but It was of no avail, the rule said she must stand In the corner for 16 minutes, and that she must remain In the principal's room one hour after school had been dismissed, and the .rule wae enforced to

It may have been justice according to school rules, but It was the kind of Juetlce that bangs one man for another man's crime. The same methods are applied to teach-
