Work and Play at Vacation Schools.
Csrooms Where There Are No Acquired
by the Pupils in Summer

Not until the millennium will there be
any other schools like the vacation schools,
for they are the only ones which every
pupil attends willingly. and in which he
Is free to stay or to go:away, as he chooses.
That is why they are attractive to the
observer and why they contain no drones
They have closed now, after six weeks of
activity, the fruits of which can be viewed
at the exhibition in the Morris High School,

 There is an interesting story behind the nomir alton. Major Edward s. Fowler of New York was appointed to the oflce last August and his nomina- ton has been before the Senate for several weeks without action It has been the intention of the President to appoint Governor Brodie to the office next May when it would become vacant by the promotion of the incumbent to the grade of Lieutenant Colonel by the retirement of Lieutenant Colonel Tweedale of the military secretary's department. That plan has been ahan- doned however, because of provision in the army appropriation bill now be- fore the House tn the effect that the ofice of assistant chief of the record and pension office shall be abolished with the next vacancy.
 In order therefore to provide for (fcvernor Brodie in that office 1t became necessary foI the President to with draw the nomination Of Major Fowler and substitute that of MT. Brodie. The latter is a personal friend of President Roosevelt and served with him in the Rough Rider regiment during the Spaelish war He Is now Governor of the Territory of Arizona.
 Although still unconhrmed Major Fowler has served as assistant chief of the record and pension office since Au- gust. 1904.
