Mrs.. DR.. Quain is correct In the
statement as to my replying to
question asked at the meeting held
In December. I was asked the ques-
ton: Have the teachers any print
ed outline of work, showing what
should be accomplished in a year in
each grade? My reply was, "They
have not" did not intend to con-
vey the impression that they had no
outline OF course of study. had
seen the course Of study In the hands
of the superintendent and it was
printed, but no printed outline had
been given the teachers. I consider
ed that the business of the superin-
tendent and If he saw At to COM
municate it by word of mouth felt
that it was his business. I knew that
the teachers were following a course
Of study and an outline Of the work
and knew that it was such q course
as was in use in the Valley City Nor
NAL and model school. did say that
I did not believe the Improvement
in the grades down at the VIII build
ing was due wholly to the he
port of the state high school in
spector but felt that 1t was mostly
due to the fact that principal had
been placed in charge. Mrs. Quain,
some seven years ago, presented a
course of study to the board and the
matter as discussed and taken under
advisement. and the board finally
decided not to adopt the course of
study presented. I do not attempt
to say which course was the best,
as do not feel that this is matter
for the board, but that it is matter
for the superintendent, and that is
what the board employees a superin-
tendent for. I will further state
that in my opinion it wuold be
very unwise for a board to dictate
to a superintendent in the matter of
the course Of study. I wish to fur
ther state that there has been q
course of study used in the schools
for the past eight years, and since
4 went on the board, and also that
a. course of study has been in use
for the past fourteen years to my
certain knowledge.

FOR BOARD VACANCY
RUMORED IT WILL GO TO W. A.
 HENDERSON.
Governor, However, Has Net Yet Inti- mated What He Would Do With Vacancy on MOntgom-
 cry Board.

The tip has been passed around that W. A. Henderson, we'll known citi- zen of Montgomery, would be named by Governor Conner to succeed J. S. Edson on the Montgomery County Board of Revenue.
 The we'll informed politically think that Mir. Henderson has a cinch. The Governor. of course, has not given any public intimation as to his action in the matter. Mir. Henderson has been prominent In the political affairs of the county. He is now chairman of the Congrcssional Committee of the Second District. He made the race in the last primary for State Senate from Mont- gomery County on a platform which declared that he was a supporter os Governor Conner. In this race he was defeated.
 He is a close personal friend of the Governor, and in the hunting season they took frequent trips. He was an applicant for the vacant shrievality of the county when Sheriff Horace Hood was named. At that time he was re- cognized as a formidable opponent for any appointment in the gift of the Governor.
 MT Henderson has extensive farm ing interests in Montgomery County He ia also an owner of city property.

First VioLator of Forestry , Law Was Fined in Monroe

The fine has been forwarded from Monroeviile and passed to the state Treasury.
 It Is the determination of the State Forestry Commission to enforce the mandatory provisions of the new law and every violation if detected is ex- pected to be attended to by the proper officers and prosecuted to the end.
 Just as much enterprise in promot- ing forestry preservation will also be shown by the commissioner as indus try in hunting down the violators.
 The law goes so far, with respect to firing forests, as to make it pun ishable for any man to set fire to his own land unless he gives notice to his neighbors provided there is dan ger of igniting the brush or trees of adjoining land.
