ing fund could be expended TO better
advantage at this time than by build
ing this coping. They were not OPP
posed to the general proposition of
building such a coping and thought
that one would add to the appearance
of the grounds. but that there were
other matters more pressing that
should be attended to first. And it
was decided by a large majority to
disregard the bids and postpone this
work until a future date.
A report was made by Superintend-
ent Whittemore to the effect that as
an experiment the school savings bank
system had been esta blished on Mon
day, March rs, in the Quincy, Branner
ana Sumner schools. Under this sys-
tenn the children bring such money as
they care to save each Monday to their
teachers and they are given a little
1olaer IN which record of their
savings are kept When they have
saved up dollar they get check
from the principal which is good for
dollar deposit at the Savings bank
where the child then starts an ac-
count
Ten children in the Quincy school
deposited about SO on the first day. In
the Branner school there were twenty
four depositors on the first day with
aggregate deposits of $9.45 and on the
second day there were 80 depositors
with aggregate deposits of S9.45 In
ready deposited a dollar each and
opened up accounts in the Savings
bank. In the Sumner school there
were sixty-six depositors on the first
day with total deposits of $17.01 and
on the second day there were eighty
depositors with total deposits Of
$l722. Eighteen children in this
school have already deposited a dollar
each and opened accounts in the Saw
ings bank.
Mr.. Whittemore said that these ex-
periments in these schools would be
continued throughout the present term
so that the school authorities could
judge of the merits of the system from
personal observation. If it proves
success and does not place too much
work on the teachers the system will
be established in all of the schools of
the city.
At the last meeting the board
adopted a resolution closing the
schools on Friday of this week so that
the teachers might attend the meeting
of the Northeast Kansas Teachers as
ISOLATION which is to be held at Holton
during the last day sof the week.
Judge Carver moved in view of the
fact that the high school and the
Lafayette school had been closed for
week because of the smallpox scare
that these school not be closed on Fri
day. This motion prevailed.
Bills to the amount of $17,5S4.40,
which included the teachers salaries,
were audited and ordered paid.

of the sounding board from over the

told his mother about the sounding

"Mr. Flagg got up and said, in his
squeaky voice: Mr.. Moderator,

sound from under the board"

Reporting at Leisure

A very important as well as in
structive conference will be held this
week at Atlanta, Ga. At the sugges-
ton of Gov. Conner of Alabama four
governors, Smith of Georgia, Glenn
of North Carolina and Swanson of
Virginia will meet the first named to
discuss the recent railroad batting by
the respective legislatures of their
states.
While it is true that it is never
too late to mend, it is equally true
that it is easier to commit folly
than to undo it and to avert it's con
sequences. The four governors may
agree upon a more reasonable course
of action, but it takes the legislature
to annual its own acts. This of
course, demands an extra session and
involves a corresponding expense. Is
it certain that the members respon-
sible for the folly will admit by their
act that they have been foolish?
1t requires neither originality nor
judgment to follow and act upon pop
ular clamor; on the contrary, that
legislator deserves we'll of his con
stitutents who disregards such clamor
