some Of the fascination that seems to

that among REVEALS of past fashions

Crane Has Z Word.

-. superintendent crane expressed n1m-
self very forcibly in a matter that was
incidentally brought to the boards at
tention. Mr.. Crane said that thru re-
liable source information had been con-
veyed to him to the effect that a GER
tain newspaper in the city had been in
formed thru some one, supposed to be
conversant with school board affairs,
that he (Crane) had already spent be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 for knick-
knacks and other foolish and useless
extravagances, more than his predeces-
sor had done in the entire year of
1902. Mr.. Crane said that he also un-
derstood that that newspaper was in
tending to make political capital out of
the above-named so-called information
at the school election next March. He
wanted to go on record at once by
branding the statement as lie, and he
wanted that clearly understood by who
ever was responsible for giving out the
information.
Mr. Church fared up In an instant
with Il suppose you mean mel"
Mr.. Crane replied that he was not
mentioning any names. but suggested
that If the shoe happened to At he
might put 1t on. The other members OF
the board each volunteered that 1t did
not fit them. Mr.. Crane insisted tina!
an accounting be made of his expendi-
lures, and he produced the figures
themselves to show how much had been
spent on his recommendation, amount
ing to between 500 and 5000, and stated
the necessity of making each of such
expenditures
Wants Shorter Office Hours.
Superintendent Crane brought up the
matter of changing his Office hours, in
order that he could accomplish more
and get to the different school buildings
oftener The superintendent former
hours have been from $3.50 to 1O:3O a
M, and from to p m. He asked thai
the morning Office hours be done ava,
with, and that the single hour in the
afternoon be observed He explained
that in devoting two hours In the fore.

ALSO OBJECTS TO TEXT BOOKS
Has Resolution Introduced Calling for
Expenditure Of Districts Money in
Printing Official Board Proceedinsy
Members See THRU 1t and Sit Down
Hard on Scheme.

Mr.. H. A. Church, one Of the newer
members of the school board. went on
another rampage at the regular meeting
Tuesday night and attempted to SIAM
pede things in order to get the adop-
ton Of a resolution The remainder of
the board saw thru the resolution at
once and sat down hard on the prop
osition, with the result that Mr.. Church
became angry and continued to try and
make trouble turnout the entire session.
Nhe resolution that was fathered and
championed by Mr.. Church. and which,
the other board members believe, was
prepared in the Reflector Office, was in
effect that there be printed In some
city paper official proceedings cs all
regular and special meetings of the
board. Mr.. Church did not introduce
the resolution himself, but instead got
Mr.. Nicholson to do it. When Mr..
Nicholson saw what the resolution re-
ally meant he readily withdrew it.
When asked as to the object of the
resolution Mr.. Church explained that
the public had a right to know what
was being done at the meetings. the
same as they did in the council pro-
ceedings. Other members of the board
tried to explain that the law did not
contemplate such a procedure as 1T did
in regard to city affairs; furthermore
that representatives Of; newspapers
were always present and made public
the boards doings but, If that were
not enough, the secretary's books were
always open to the public, and could
be seen by any one, at any time. Mr..
Church was also shown that the law
did require the publication. twice each
year, of the financial condition Of the
district. and this had always been
compiled with.
Mr.. Church was not satisfied, how
ever, and could not be shown by any
argument that 1t was a useless expen-
diture Of the districts money. It would
cost, the members figured, at least 5000
or $500. and perhaps more. Mr.. Click
Mr.. Turner and Mr.. Hull all expressed
as being uncompromisingly
opposed to any such nonsense, no mat
ter what naDer was used. alth0 Mr..
Turner suggested thai II the publica
ton were made the Times Republican
should be selected. as 1t was the paper
the most people read. Mr.. Church said
that he wasn't saying what paper II
should be published in. and he thought
that should be left to competitive bid,
After lengthy discussion Mr.
Church suggested to Mr.. Nicholson that
he withdraw his resolution, and in its
place there was one substituted, ask
ing that the finance committee ascer-
tain the cost of the proposed publica-
ton. II is safe to say. however, that
the cost will be too greatsfo the ma
Jority of the board to consent to any
such publication being made, especially
when they consider that the money
used could be spent to so much bet.
ter advantage for things that are alb
solutely needed.

Objects to Buying Books.

After Mr.. Church had been thwarted
in his pet resolution he appeared to be
disgruntled at things in general. Ac-
cordinR to report from Superintend-
ent Crane certain text books and sup
plies are needed to furnish pupils who
are now borrowing books because the
district has not enough to supply the
demand. Mr.. Church objected to buy
ing the books, yet 1t was explained to
him that the pupils had to have them,
and the district had to furnish them.
The cost was estimated at between 5000
and 500, and the board ordered that
they be purchased. All voted aye ex-
cepting Mr.. Church, who refused to ex-
press himself
