Harmony In the schools is what we
need. And as for Prof. Morris, the
Register wishes to state that he had
nothing to do with yesterdays article.
The board of education did what II
thought best in hiring Mr.. Morris and
they should not be criticized for their
action. They are criticized only by
those who have personal grudge and
would sacrifice schools and all TO gain
their own selfish ends: and yet these
/ people are now preaching harmony in
hA Ia Nv II n IN
and cooperative work of all the teach
ers. not by abusing those in whose
hands the pupils are being educated.

. What has become of the Board Of
Trade?
The people are considerably wor-
ried over the diphtheria situation and
many families will to-day not allow
their children to attend school. The
situation has reached that stage whore
II can be exaggerated. but allowing for
this, the prevalence OF the disease here
is very serious. and 1t is no wonder
tbst the public has become alarmed.
II there are not as many cases as is
generally reported, the health board
should have a meeting and investig gate
the matter and let the public know
what the situation is. The board has
not met for months, and the people
only know q board OF health in name.
When such a dangerous disease is In
the city and is causing so much alarm.
it is only reasonable that the board
should have a meeting and take some
action, but so far they have paid no
attention to the matter. If the public
is alarmed more than they should be.
1t is the health boards fault.
