SUPERINTENDENT GARR
WAS INEXORABLE
Refused to Alter His Decision to the
Effect That There Would Be No
Re-examination of Substitute
Teachers and Other Candidates,
Though Threo Members of the
Board Made Suppliant Appeals to
Him -Details of the Conference.
City Superintendent of Schools Garr
on Saturday evening reiterated his re
fusal to allow the privilege of a re
examination to 'the substitute teachers
and others who failed to pass the re
cent examination as candidates for
positions in the city schools.

memhers of the Carhondale school
board. President Hughes, Secretary
Kerwin and Director Gallagher, at a
confetence which was held for the pur
pose of an understanding as to the
semlng conflict of the superintendent
with the wishes of the hoard, In this
matter. As was pointed out In The
Tribune last week, Mr. Garr notified
one of the teachers who failed that
there would be no re-examination. As
was also pointed out, the board at one
of its meetings prior to this lerpiested
the superintendent to allow n re-examination,
and expected Mr. Garr to
concur in Its wishes. This the super
intendent was not disposed to do.
Judging from his communication to
the unsuccessful teacher referred to,
and It was to ascertain the why and
wherefore of his refusal that the three
directors. Messrs Hughes, Kerwin and
Gallagher, met with him on Saturday
evening.
The meeting was truly out of the
ordinary and in striking contrast with
the usual position of the directors,
who, given such wide discretion under
the Uw. transact their business with
oiit feai of encountering a snag. In
this Instance It was different. Here
was a notable exception, for In Super
Intendent Garr's steadfast refusal they
did meet with a stumbling block which,
try as they could, the trio were not
able to pass safely. The three dlrcc
tors argued with Mr. Garr, they urged
suggestion after suggestion upon him,
then they took the singular position,
as school directors, of fairly pleading
with him of making a supplement ap
peal, It can be said, for another chance
for the unsuccessful teachers. Rut
Mr. Garr was unmoved. He persisted
In his refusal. nnd in emphasizing his
reaions for the position he had taken,
he displayed that firmness of purpose
which, as called attention to in The
Tribune, he is known to possess where,
in he believe? he is right. Like the
laws of the Medfs and Persians, which
once made known, are altered not,
Mr. Garr's decision was not to ho
shaken by the wind and was not to bo
changed by the arguments of the ener
getic directors, wiio exhausted all of
ufir irMiurrs m orner to reverse him
In favor of the unsuccessful class.
The position taken by Mr. Garr was
that he declared before the examina
tions took place that there would be
noYft-exftmlnatlon. Having made this
:declslpn, after considering all the cr-
.cumstances, he would he unfair to him
fiClf and would not be consistent If he
wjm.to. alter this declson.
The directors pointed out to Mr.
0wr.Ih3t.the first year he was In office
he allowed a re-examlnatlon for those
, who failed, and that a spirit of fair
nets should move him to ijrant the
same prlyilege to there who were un
successful this year. Mr. Garr ad
mltted the truth of the statement that
he allowed a second examination the
first year, but In explanation said it
wag due to the circumstance that he
' wan a stranger, as It were to the teach
ers, that they were unacquainted with
him and his methods, and were conse-
' qtfently nervous and apprehensive.
Taking this Into account, he was not
averse to a second examination, and
was oven anxious that the teachers
would not buffer on this account. This
year, he further asserted, he gave it
to.be understood beforehand that theie
. wrfulo" be no re-exatnlnntlon, and ns he
'believed that forewarned wa fore-

armed, he raw no poorl and JuM rencnn
why ho nhoulrl alter Ills decision.
The (llrevlom met the latter part of
Mr. Oarr's nnrwerlnir by averring that
they had absolutely no knowledge of
hlfl Intention to admit of no re-examination.
It was ncwo tu them to learn
this from him, and they Implied a re
buke for hl( not having Informed them
of his purpose. It wn siiBROttted that
tho withholding of his intention was
the means of placing the bonrrt In u
peculiar position before the public, and
that If the directors were rightly In
formed the reauent for another exam
ination would likely not have been
made. Finally the discussion narrowed
down to an appeal, the director prom
ising that t their request be granted
this time, appreciating the position of
Mr. Garr In tho mutter, they would not
again ask the favor, such as It now
came about to he.
Through all this, Mr, Garr could not
see but that he was right, and even In
the light of heeding the appeal of the,
directors who pleaded with him, he
could not be persuaded to recall his
decision.
The directors left the meeting with
Mr. Garr ki fatly chagrined, and snme
of them, If not all. with their feelings
under high pressure. There was no
concealment of the disappointment
that was experienced, and It Is only
the truth to state that more than one
caloric opinion has been expressed over
the result, or rather tho lack of It, of
the meeting.

The Life
Of a Day
BY DORA ROWE.
Kor The Tribune.
Kit name? No matter; whati&
Hln a name? She walked up the
gangmay of the "Little Silver"
onto the Battery Park land
ing in New York city. For a
moment she stood watching the de
parting steamer. It was one of thoso
days when the thermometer registered
M degrees In the shade, and till rising.
The intense heat seemed to hue tied up
even the noise of the grcnt metropolis.
Many weie gathered In the shade of
the buildings, and they moved slowly
with the sun.
A man shuuied past with a large
burlap sack swinging from his hand,
Sopie one iciiinrked: "That dog baa
had his clay." At the same Instant a
beseeching whine came from the bag
Suddenly the meaning of the remark
t:ivnO(l imnn her. Tho saclc contain-
led dogs, which the man Intended to
drown. In an Instant sho was beside
the man, saying firmly:
"How much will you take for those
dogs?"
Ills eye lighted greedily.
"Well. miss, there's three ez lino
puppies as ever was In this world,
and If yol want 'em you can have tht
hul of them for one dollar."
Want them? Certainly, she did noi
want thoin. but how else were thej.
to he saved? She also knew how far
dollar should be made to last, but plt
came uppermost. Without a word she
handed the man it silver dollar, h
laid the bag at her feet and, with
great rapidity, disappeared.
Now another question presented It
self. What was to be done with till
rescued puppies? Her load seemed to
increase in wilght; she soon learned
that the bag also contained a large
stone. With dllllcti ty she reached the
comer of the stteet and stopped for
breath.
Suddenly a ciowd dashed around the
corner. They were pursuing a dog
that ran before all; Its head down
Jaws snapping, and bleeding fiom the
stones hurled nt It by the ctowd. The
dog swerved Into thepath and cama
directly toward the dogs and their
rescuer.
Some one started forward and. with
the cry of "Mad dog!" pushed her v to.
lently aside. The crowd passed on.
the cries of the tortured mad dog were
heard above the din, Another turn
and she could again see the dog plain
ly. His pursuers weie fast gaining,
one leg hung limp, its mouth was white
with foam, and the body was covered
with many wounds. "A pls-tol shot
rang out on the sultry air. With a
prolonged howl of pain the dog sank
to the ground and a 1 was over.
.V low whine a, her feet frightened
her back to her senses. She had noi
moved from the place where her res-cm-r
had pushed her. The bag wns
still clutched tightly In her lingers,
and it was from this that the whln
came. Slowly she started on then
stopped. Somehow her mind and eyes
seemed to turn to the crowd still in
the street. Again she started with
the same result, only that her eyes
would travel from the ciowd back
to the bag In her hand. Why should
she c,onncct them with each other?
The dogs she held were not mad. Once
more her eyes turned to the bag and
remained there, Pity was written lr
every fen tut e, Perhaps It was com
passion. Truly some conflict was taking place
In her niiinl. Her lip quivered, her
eyes tilled: but the bright light in
them did not fade. Quickly she raised
her head and said nloud to herself:
"If that's the life of a dog, then death
Is more humane."
Sho looked for the man from whom
she had made her purchase, but oh
llvion had long claimed him. With
n tlrm step she walked quickly to the
end of the pier Giasplng the bag in
her hands, and holding It out at arms'
length, she closed her eyes and the
bag fell with a thud on the boards
at her feet.
Selzlne a pen knife from her purse,
she cut the cord around the mouth of
the sack. Nothing but deep joy gleam
ed In her eyes as she went her way.
