V, 1?65 a roGK"0' 10 or a 'mxislatoks A matter of great importance to the people of the Ueidivilb 0 rad.nl School district which sterns to have scaped the attention of our representatives in the Legislature isan amendment to our Grade i School charter which will per rait the election of the school committee men by a vote of the people, instead of by the County Board of Education. There U an almost unanimous sentiment among the people of the district in fa vor of the change. WhAn the law wus : first enacted it wai deemed expedient to have the com mitteemen appointed by the County r A ,.t 'EMiioafSitn tifO.ltlMe it Wa3 OUUiU UL Mvviw . feared that the matter would get to be .

Since tie adoption of the Constitutional Amendment this trouble has been ob viated, and it is now agreed that there is no longer a noce3Sty for this safe guard.' . THE Keview has before alluded to t le bal manner in which the old law has operated. It has frequently caused rriticism and bitterness that would not bave resulted had the members of the burl been rewnsible to the voters frr their conduct. . The board has been practically a itelf-pwrpotuatmg xly, aid it ha 3 before this been plainly evi dent that the members did not consider thennelvos in the least responsible to the people for their selection cm the board. This feeling, unconscious to the members it may have been, has been commented upon adversely, and vows have been made to amond the law so the selections could be made by the taxpayers and voters. Uoing a firm believer in the principle f local self-government, The Review Uin favor of. the change, We do not now see a noceHsity for any law denying ta the citizens of this immediate vicin ity a right to solect their own servants, Heretofore the Graded School commit iMnwn KflVo rprommended their sue- c won, who usually were the old mem bers of the board, and the County Board was guide! entirely by that rec ommendation. Thp only tune in recent years wo now YJfc experienced farmer has learned that some grains require far differ ent soil than others ; some crops need differ- enthandling than others. He knows that a great deal depends upon right planting at the right time, and that the soil must be kept enriched. No use of complaining in summer about a mis take made in the spring. Decide before the seed is planted. , best time to reme- dy wasting conditions in the human body is be fore the evil is too deep rooted. At the first evi dence of loss of flesh Scott's Emulsion should be taken imme diately.

SCOTT BOWNE- CHEM1STS 409 Pearl Street NEW YORK jnc. and fit il drugiete SEE D' T rI M E' III' recall when an'efTort was made by the taxnavera to assert their rights in roc- - r y ommending u committeeman a bitter fight resulted, and a bad state of aiTairs. was the outcome of the meeting before the Couuty Board. One side or the other had to be successful, and the de feated tide usually felt that it had been wronged, and neighbors and friends found themselves divided. Such trou bles could be amicably adjusted at the ballot-box, when the majority would be successful just as they are in the other elections. : There is no lunger any good reason why the committeemen chould not be elected by the voters, and there are very many good reasons therefor. The mutter cannot now be brought into politics with a danger of some unde sirable selection being made, for the voters of the -district, knowing each other as . they do, are intelligent and patriotic enough to use as good judg ment in the selection of the committee men as is the County Hoard of Educa tion. The eleetitin for these committeemen could be held in May at the same time our municipal election is held, as it i always at this time that the appoint ments are made. The expense of the election would be insignificant, and the interest in the schools by virtue of the election would be increased. Our neighbor, the Weekly, in discuss ing the conduct'of one of the members of the board some time ago, hit the bull eye and rang the bell when it said in its issue of June 18, CM: As a friend of the Graded School we think the time has come for the patrons and taxpayers to assert their rights. The .next Legislature should be asked to amend the charter so as to guard against a repetition of the abuses that have vexed the peace of the community the past few years. "The servant is not greater than his lord, " and a law that runs to the contrary is bound to create trouble. Since the Legislature does not meet for two years, the Coun ty Board of Education should be ap pealed to. The law forbids 'repeating'' in ordi nary elections. It also protects the rights of the majority. The Graded School charter must be safeguarded and made responsive to the will of the peop'e. We doubt if there is a baker's dozen in the district who now object to the election of the committeemen by the voters, and our legislators will meet the approval of our people generally should they draft and pass such an amend ment, and we respectfully .refer the matter to them. Since the above was written we un derstand, the School Committee held a meeting and discussed the matter, when a decision was reached that any action with reference to the change on their part would bo highly improper, and that the law should be in accord with the wishes of the taxpayers and patrons of the school, hence no recom mendation will be made by them. s a guest of the Lincoln Republican Club's dinner in New: York on Monday night the President appealed to the North for added friendliness to the South and made acknowledgements to crusaders against lynching which were complimentary to our section, for which he will have unstinted thanks. VBloiitlne Piutj.. On February ! I, Miss Cora Pitts en tertained the Tuesday Afternoon Read ing Club, and gave them a most charm. ing reminder of the fact that it was St. Valentine's Day. When the literary programme for the afternoon had been completed the club was invited to adjourn to the dining room, whore a rosy glow from red shaded lamps and candles lit up a beautiful scene. From the chandelier above the centre of the table swung a large floral pendent in red, from which was suspended a dainty figure of Cupid, with drawn bow, while beneath him on the table lay evidences of the blind god's skill at archery, hearts every where, pierced with his silver arrows. Some few had missed thair mark and heart and arrow lay separate, In the centre of the table from a circle of foliage andctimson blossoms arose a branching candleabra with its shades of red poppies. Tha place cards wer dainty valentines, heat-shaped and ex pressing various sentiments appropriate to the day. The refreshments carriec out the same idea.
