DEMER|T SYSTEM
Causes Dissatisfaction In Public
Schools, Although lts Advan-
tage Is Plainly Evil
denced.

There has been a great deal of dis
satisfaction lately among the stu
dents of the High school concerning
the demerit system, which was in
augurated in the local school last
September. The students claim that
the teachers are unduly strict, and
that in several cases have used the
system to crafty their spite against
certain pupils. The teachers say that
all of these students who are showing
the greatest dislike of the system
have large number of demerits, and,
should these dissatisfied ones leave
the school, the school would in time
recover from the loss.
But the spirit of the school is now
better than it ever was before, as
evidenced by the attendance at the
Akron football game in Canton, and
the way in which the girls of the
High school stayed in the rooms after
school hours and practiced singing
songs for the game. Moreover, this
spirit is entirely free from that row.
dyism which was so much in evidence
four or five years ago. That the
teachers are not opposed to athletics,
as claimed by some of the students. is
shown by the fact that they are now
more interested in the High school
games than ever before in the history
of thu school, and more of them attend
the games than was the case in past
wears

by Senator Getty was lost and the
Noftzger motion making the primary
bills which have merely been read. a
special order for 1920 o'clock this
morning was adopted.
A motion by Senator Getty that a
recess be then taken until o'clock

was accomplished, but there was

Among the bills which were ad-
Vanced to a third reading were the
substitutes presented by the committee
on banking rearranging the office force
or the state bank commissioner. One
or them increases the number of the
bank examiners from three to five and
1t fixed their salaries at $4,000. The

Its purpose the paving of the road

came up for consideration. Senator
Getty made rather fiery speech
against the measure on the ground
that the state should not build road

private property along its line. Sena-

but Senator Stillings had enough of
his friends lined up for 1t to advance
it to third reading.
Other bills advanced were of no

the senate adjourned until that same
