the discussion of the requirements nee

stated that the university requirements
are q burden upon the high schools and
the people VINO are compelled to main
tain them. OF this city Mr.. Lansdon
secure an interest and good enrolment
in the high school and that among 15-
600 people there were but $50 to zoo pu-
pills who attended the high school
To this statement Mrs Lillian II
Picken of the lola high school, took ex-
ceptiOns. She said:
I live IA a city of 1000 where the
high school is the pride of all the peo-
pie 1t has an enrolment Of 100 and
there is no difficulty in supporting it,
1 believe the great mistake is made
where expenditures for school taxa
uCns are charged to expense instead
Of investments 1t is my opinion that
expenditures made in behalf of educa-
ton and for our childreni, are not TEX
penses- It is really the best invest
ment OF which we are capable.
Ihe chief duty to any generation is to
place each successive generation in
charge Of the world better
equipped to accomplish the
work Of the world. The duty
and chief aim Of any generation should
be to place its successors uDon a bat-
cupied."
This vigorous response put an end to
Iurther attack upon the work of the
high school.

If Westwood o., which was recently an

|doubtedly the most novel playhouses in
the world. The playhouses are moth
inc more nor less than the old castaway
horse cars, which have been useless
|since the trolley read has been intro

colonies of these abandoned horse con-
|seyances; in fact, the backyards of the
village are full of them, and every day
their number is increased.
Strangers cannot understand how so
many Of the cars have got off the track.
Id seems to them as if there must have
been tidal wave, which washed all the
Queen city cars into Westwood and left
them stranded high and dry on sand
hills and in hollows. When the electric
cars took the place of horse cars the
street railway companies asked them
selves: "What is to be done with the old
cars?" 1t would cost more to split
them up than they would bring for
kindling. The problem was solved bya
shrewd resident of Westwood. He put
