lishment of an especial committee to
take up the question of civil service

der the head of civics but is now of
so much moment that it is felt by many
that it should be dealt with more
carefully and elaborately. Mrs. j. w.

ism and the inculcation and increase
of that quality will be discussed

vention does not open until $50 o'clock.
