] J. Little chairman Of the Finance Committee
Of the Board OF Education. has asked Tor an opin-
ion of the Corporation Counse. 10 the legality
of the appontment Of three high school principals
who come from Kansas CITY. Philadelphia and
Massachusetts to take office in this city. Each Of
the principals is to receive salary Of 5000 year.

fuse sign the payroll for their salaries.

VICTORIA INPERATRl1.
(Fidci DefensorO

(Fidei Defensor)
Established on her ancient throne
That naught can overthrow,
She calls as loyal hearts her own
AS sixty years ago;
And history, knowing what they are,
Esteems her claim 10 praise.
Not measured By the calendar
Nor judged by length OF days
The record of her wondrous reign
Describes an altered land.
Transformed by mans inventive brain
And mans assiGuOus hand;
II is a tale OF great fights fought,
OF noble heights attained
OF proud achievements proudly wrought
And splendid victories gained.
Yet in the neyday of her pride.
While Progress claps her Wings.
And soaring upward, sweeps aside
The older men and things,
The glance Of memory backward cast
Win sometimes shrink 10 find
Much that was WorthieSt in the past
Now lost and left behind.
But while hsr royAl heart has stayed
Alive 10 modern needs.
Her high example never swayed.
To laXer ways and creeds;
She passing IN her peoples view,
With stanch uprightness bold,
Linked with her brilliance Of the New
The virtue Of the Old
