THE SCHOOL BOARD.
Plan on Foot to Change the Manner Of EIec-

y resolution endorsing the removal
from the city charter of the clause pro-
viding for the election of the members
of the school board by the voters at
the spring election, is being prepared
for presentation at the next city gov
eminent meeting
1t is the plan of those who are engi-
neering the resolution, to have the CITY
government appoint a b-committee
who shall elect the teachers and other
wise have general oversight of school
AFFAIRS. The superintendent according
to the new plan as outlined. by one of
the members of the city government.
Saturday. is to be elected by the CITY
government and that board is to have
full control of the expenditures of the
funds appropriated for the schools.
Since the last meeting of the school
board there has been a great deal of
talk among the members of the city
government and the school board
about the management of the school
FUNDS. The members of the CITY gov
eminent have alleged that the school
board has not been careful in the ex-
penditure of money and more than all
that the bills which have been an
proved have not been carefully scan

On the other hand the members of
the school board claim that they have
been most careful in the expenditure
OF the school money, that every bill has
been carefully scanned and that if the
members of the city government un-

would not have been a clash between
the heads of the departments.
one OF the men who has been most

OF the Colby faculty and they had ex-

THE NEW POLO LEAGUE.
The Managers Aim Is TO Have First Glass
Players and Al Sport.

The impression that has been given
out in this city that the men in the
triangular league are to be cheap
players Is erroneous, SO Journal re-
porter is informed by Wateryille
man. who is enough on the inside to
know every move that is being made.
For certain business reasons he does
not care TO have his name used IN
connection with the game. although
he is one of the greatest polo cranks IN
the State. In further speaking Of the
team he said that none but the best
men are to be employed so that the
patrons of the games will receive gilt
edged fun. Some of the men who have
already been signed are among the
best that can be found in the New
England states outside of the big
leagues.
All of the men for the Wateryille
team had not been signed, Saturday
but 1t was thought then that the men
would be here in readiness for the
games which are to be played during
the month of December. The team is
to be managed by f. c. Hamilton and
the fact that he is to have the team
under his control assures its success
The hall is to be so arranged that the
attendants will be able to see every
thing that there is to be seen. The
stage is to be fitted up with seats so
that 1t viii be one of the best places
from which the game may be seem In
addition 10 this seats are to be ar
ranged in the balcony for the accom-
mediation of those who wish to attend
with ladies. Under the balcony will be
seats for the ''rooters'' or enthusiasts
OF the game who wish to be near the
players. The hall is to be provided
with netting so that the spectators
will not be in danger of being hit by
the flying ball.
The men running the teams are
bound to make the league a go and
with the proper support from the pub
lie the people will be given as good if
not better sport than the people of
Augusta, Lewiston. Bath. Rockland,
Portland and Bangor are enjoying.

affairs the superintendent is to have
control OF the schools without the
backing Of a school board. 1t is only
in the election of the teachers that the
subcommittee which it is proposed 10
elect from the college professors, is TO
have voice in the school affairs. This
committee is also to have full charge
Of the examination Of the teachers.
The resolution has been talked
among some of the members of the
school board for some little time and it
is planned to present it at the next
Wednesday.

During the war times when the peo-

papers an hour earlier than it was
possible by regular train service. Now
that the emergency has passed and the
roads and weather are very unfavor-
able for delivery by team, the former
practice of sending papers by the early
train will be resumed. This plan, 10

found quite as satisfactory to all con-
