An improved system of school man. agement for Chicago, prepared by a commission of representative citizens appointed a year ago, is before the Illi- nois legislature. At present there is a. cumbersome method of doing business through twenty-four committees of the Board of Education. Good men have been deterred from accepting places on the board, because of the burden of the great amount of detail work, while bad men have sought places on the board because of the various opportunities off, fered for patronage. Under the new plan, if adopted, the membership of the board would be reduced from twenty one to eleven, and the number of com- mittees to three-educational, business and financial-whose functions would be purely legislative. The executive intendent of the schools and business manager, both of whom would be ap- pointed for terms of six years. The commission advocates the extension of educational opportunities, and recom- mends the general introduction of the Kindergarten and manufacturing work An effort is to be made to bring the schools nearer to the people by ap- pointing local committees of six mem- bers each to exercise sort of super ..lsion over groups of ten schools each.

an interview to-day with the United

drew White. In reply to question as to
what in the light of the knowledge he
acquired in his former position as United
states Minister to Russia, he thought Of
the AnglO-Russian agreement regarding
spheres OF influence in China, Mr. White
said that IL seemed 10 him admirable
from every point of view, because the
peaceful occupation of the two terrific
ries in China would be of great advantage
To the whole world, by promoting peace
in the Pacific with a consequent growth
of industry and commerce. An important
feature of the agreement, Mr.. White said.

the year round and which. in their own
interest. and in that of all Powers on the

Moreover, Mr. White said, the peaceful
adjustment of this question. will hasten
the development Of an enormous trans
Pacific commerce. In which the United
States will have a full share, and this. OF
course. means vastly increased growth
of many industries.
Mr.. White concluded by saying that
when he was in Russia he knew and had
official dealings with NJ. Dewitt the
Russian Minister Of Finance, VINO was
then by far the strongest man in the
Russian Ministry. and his handling OF
financial questions might well be studied
by American statesmen.
