Asks for Approval.

When the letter was presented to the
board for It's approval Capt. Oyster, the
president, made an appeal for its ap

This board protested against Building

land our position was justified by the
taking of school matters out of his
hands and the placing of them in the
hands of the assistant engineer commits
Sioner. We are not complaining now OF
old buildings nor of the repairs which
are now being made in the schools. Mr.
Ashford showed his hand at the Ketcham
School-a new building. The conditions
there are insaritary and flight of wood

means of exit from the assembly room
on the top floor. Then there is the new

artesian we'll when he gets ready, or
words to that effect And must we ac-
cept such man 10 pass judgment on our
school buildings?
Il believe he is incompetent for this
work. He gives US four editions to
school buildings this year and not an
exit in any of them. One of the new
buildings has city water within 100 yards
of it. and yet the structure was not pro-
recently by the health officer because
there was two feet of water in the base

The board voted unanimously to send
letter of protest, which. after acknowledge
ing the letters received sets forth:
THE board of education is not at all
satisfied with the personnel of the other
two committees named by the Commits
sioners.
THE appointment of the chief of the
fire department., Mr.. Belt in one case,
and that of the health officer. Mr. Wood
ward, in the other, is pleasing. but the APP
pointment of the assistant to the engi
neer Commissioner, Capt. Kelly and that
of the building inspector. Mr.. Ashford as
members of the committee on fire condi-
lions and the committee on sanitary con-
ditions is not at all satisfactory to the
board of education. Both of these men.
as members of the committees. will mere
ly pass judgment upon their own work,
course of action which does not appeal to
the board of education as right and prop
err. Mr.. Ashford has not only failed to
win the confidence of the board by the
work he has put into the schools, but has
shown no disposition to correct his err
rors. Consequently the board of educa-
ton strongly protests against having the
Investigations of such vital matters as the
safety and health of the children in the
schools intrusted to the very officials un-
der whose administration these grievous
these officials in a position to pass judg-

This is all the more reasonable, as the
board is informed that the Commissioners

date superior In office and Mr.. Ashford
are a majority of each committee. 1t is
understood the Commissioners will not

DEE STEAM.

Referring to the newspapers of his
own state who are criticising the
course of the Courier-Journal, Colonel
Henry Watterson says:
can excess of adjectives implies a
poverty of ideas and the total absence
of conviction. The boys who thus
indulge themselves, where not drunk
performing before an audience of
pumpkins, or letting off steam They
have scant thought, or care for the
force of language. Like dwarfs and
cripples they AXE license and expect
immunity from their impotence"
Colonel Watterson himself is mas
ter of a larger vocabulary than any
other newspaper man in America,
and, betimes, does not disdain the
use of adjectives. However, his adjec-
tives are descriptive, not mere gen
eralities, such as are used il ~f1attery
when things will not bear description
or in denunciation when the writer
is conscious only of being out of hu.
NOR. Whether things be beautiful
excellent, horrible, ~disgraceful, out.
rageous, or simply false, the Colonel
has words to describe them without
resorting to adjectives thai express
mere sound n fury, Or feeble
thought and toadyism, as the case
may be.
1t is necessary to describe
a rose by saying either that it is
beautiful Or has sweet odor-but
there is variety even in roses.
