PROBLEM OF MODERN CITY Ono of tho marvels of modorn life is tho rapid growth of tho city. Tako for cxamplo tho nations mo tropolis. Now York City, founded in 1014, and while in its first 175 years it gninod only 33000, yet in tho period of 21 years just proceeding 1890 it gained" 859,000 or 20 times its growth in the carliorlong period. In 1880 thero wcro in iho U. S, 29C cities of 8000 or more, but every decade is now adding hundreds of such cities and lureor oues to tho list. Tho above indicates but a local movement, but ran bo similiarly traced in Africa nnd Asia as woll as in Europe. This growth has been accounted for by "the -application of machinery to agriculture, which enables ono iariuer iiow to do tho work formerly done bv three or more." Seeondlv. tho increased domand for manufactured articles and man ufacturiug machinery. Thirdly that the coming of tho modern ruilwuy has ruude it easy to biiDg any amount of provisions to thecitv. It should be noted however, that the recent marked development in railway ond trolley transportation together with tho rural 'phono has checked tho tido llowing from the country to tho city becauso of the eaBe with which it enables people to live in tho pure cou ntry atmosphere and at thu uumo timo enjoy the ad vantages of tho city. Whilo this latter fact helps in some moasuro to bolvo bouio of the difficult citv problems, in another respect it adds to the problem, in that it takes from tho citv, tho citi zen-Bhip of many of tu . best sup porters of righteous government. leaving tho ballot of the city more largely in the hand of the drift ele ment. If ono ot tho modern marvels is the growth of the city, surely one of the modern problems is the government of tho citv nnd its relation to tho rural populations. k Locai self government furnished scope for tho cicrciso of our liberties but federation is necessary to the preservation of them. At one time tho question was, whether the national government or tho individual slates should bo bu preme; it is now rapidly becoming question whether tho nation shall govern the citios or tho cities dictate terms to tho gonernl government, It is an acknowledged fact that wo hose not yet learned how to livo togotlior in , tho co-operative city giving free scopo for individual pur suits, and at the sarao timo holding in cheek tho loss. Thero are low cities or oven largor towns but which havo a ina jority in favor of upholding tho law nnd niding in just cooperation for the good of nil; yet n sample of how a corrupt ami ignorant minority gots control of yonr municipalities ib indicated by president Roosovolt' reference- to ihouuswars to questions given in tho polico force osamlna lions whon ho was commissioner of tho city of Now York, when re quested to n a in o five Now England states ouo answered, Lngland, Yir HIGH SCHOOL TROUBLE It is understood that the suit brought by Wlllinm Laniloas, cnjoln Iinr the payment of the salaries of school teachers abovetheelfihtKrnde, U for the purpose of establishing the legal stntus of the Cottngo Orove High School, of this place, that Is to ascertain whether or not Cottage Grove has a legally constituted High School under tho law. The governing district of this class In regard to teaching higher brunches or grades than tho Klght Grade Is found la the General Session Laws of 1001. nnd lsi8 follows: "When one third of the legal voter) ot a district shall petition the District Hoard re questing that the grades above the eighth grade mny te taught In such district, or when tho District Itonrd shall at Its discretion think proper. It shall give twenty dnys notice pre vious to the annual school meeting, or previous speclnl election called for that purpose, that It will submit the question or the legal voters of said district, whether grades above the right grade shall lie taught In such llstrlct, at which election the electors of the district shall vote by ballot for or against establishing such grades. Anil It n. mnlorltv of nil the votes cast shall lie la favor of establishing such grades It shall be the duty of the district board to establish such grades and determine what brunches shall lie taught therein. (Session Laws 1901, p. -tit. Sec'-H).) The said law of 1901 repeals all laws and parts of laws In conflict therewith. Prior to the year l!Hll there was no especial authority for teaching higher branches than those taught In the eighth grade. It Is stilted the re cords of the'School Hoard Is silent as to the establishing of such blgliur grades than the eighth grnde, but It seems that teachers In higher branches than the eighth grade huve been em ployed and paid out of tho School funds since 1S03. It Is Important to the Hoard or Directors its a protection to them selves that the tenchlng o! higher branches bo authorized as by law provided, In this, if there Is no author ity ror teaclilugtliosuhlglierbruiiclies the directors have no authority to hlro teachers for that purpose, nor to use the public school fund In pay ment for such services. The Direc tors seem to have assumed that' tho tenchlng of higher branche.f orgrades above the eighth grade have Ih-cii duly authorized. It Is very natural that a newly el lectcil director should rely on the methods In vogue at thelnstanco of the older directors and It seems that the board has been assuming that this authority existed for soveral years and since no question has been heretofore raised In regard thereto, It would therefore bo very embarras sing to a new mcmlierof the board placing such reliance on the Judge ment of the older members of tho board to find that he was personal ly liable on Illegal contracts which he had supposed he was entering Into on the part of the district and for which he expected tho district to pay. "Itany contract be made with out authority tho member making tho same shall bo personally liable." (General Laws of 1!X)1.) Therefore If thorc Is no authority for onterlng In to contracts with teachers to tench higher grade? than tho elghth.lt Is highly essential that any person lie Ing elected to tho olllco of director should know to what extent his au thority extends lu tho matter of tho employment of teachers. It Is also essential that tho status of thu school district lie ascertained that tho teachers' bo protected In their contracts, In this, tho board of directors assuming such nujliorlty and power to employ teachers to teach In grades abovo tho eighth, hold out to tho teachers and to the world that a high school I regularlly established, and the teacher eon tracts with them with Unit under standing. If the board hnve assumed, with out having such authority In fnct, nnd It 1kcoiui's iierosary for the teacher tosuo for the salary under tho contract, the caso would perhaps l thrown out ot court tor tho reason that It iuivli5rt apiswrs In the rec ords of the school district that the board ot directors hitd ever boon an- thorltod as by l.iw tvqulred to enter Into the contract for the teaching ot any grades higher than the eighth. In which euoo tu teacher would u compelled to resort to an action ngnlust tho members ot tho board as Individuals tor recovery umii tho il legal contract. It Is highly Inqvortant to tho School District, Hoard of Directors, legal voters, patrons ol the school nn l tho tenchers therein, that if anv doubt exists, that tho status ol the high school ot this district and tho right to employ teachers In tho higher grades Is In doubt, that tho matter should lie settled by some court having com netent Jurisdiction, and that all doubts on tho subject ;Iki removed, nnd If It shall then 1h determined that the contention of tho board of directors lu regard thereto Is tenable, no harm has lieon done, and If It Is not, stops ean Ih taken to lognlln any nnd all, subsequent act of tho board of directors by vote ol me district cnlled for that purpose. It need not ls assumed that any Dorsou connected with this affair Is opposed to higher education, but It Is not only tho province, but duty ot some person, II doubts dn oxWt, to have tho mutter ndjuentod and wi lled for all time, since It will afford protection to the board nt director nnd tenchers engaged in teaching In nld higher grades and lollevo any and all contracts made anil entered Into with teachers from any doubt. It Cottage drove has no legally constituted and authorised high school. It Is high timo she had ono and tho necessary stovs should bo taken to lcgiillao the same, that here after no disgruntled taxpayer or other Interested person mny Interfere with Its operation, either by Injunc tion, or otherwise, and this ean only lo done by removing tliesubjeet from nil doubt In the manner provided by law. HCHNT Attempts have been made to inttoduce Jnpniicsa Inborcts into Mexico nnd also into the notthern portion ol lltiiish Col umbia. In the former instance many of the Japanese quit nnd re fused to go on with the work for which they were imported. In llritisli Colnmbia the strenuous op position of white miners resulted in the nttcmpt not being carried to a conclusion In California tlietc arc n large uutnber of Chinese engaged in mining, but the gientcr number ol these nre working individually for themselves or for Chinese com panies owning the mines, mostly placer. To this little objection is made by the white miners, for the reason that in most instances the Chinese work over placer gtound usually lielievod to be too poor to pay the white tttcn for their labor. Although the introduction of Chinese lnbar into the mines of the Rand has been successfully accom plished, owing to the peculiar con ditions nt present obtaining there, it is safe to say that any attempt to similiarly employ Asiatic labor in the mines of Western America will be vigorously resisted.
