SMALLER SCHOOL
BOARD FAVORED
FOR DETROIT
CITIZENS BELIEVE THAT SYSTEM
OF FEWER INSPECTORS, ELECT.
ED AT LARGE, WOULD ELIMlN-
ATE MANY EVILS OF PRESENT.

Sentiment for smaller school
board. the members OF which shall be
elected at large instead OF ward rep
resentatives. is very strong with many
citizens who have given the matter
thought. Comparison Is generally
made between the troubles and rae
tional spirit OF the present board and
the harmonious action or the smaller
commissions handling other municipal
matters such as the fire commission
and water board.
Mayor Breitmeyer does not feel In
clined to take sides in the matter just
at present
There are other matters up now
and | would rather wait for time be-
fore discussing this" he said Thurs
day morning.
Il am certainly in favor OF a smaller
board" said Secretary +. X. Schreiter.
Of the council committee. emphatical!y.
1T would be much better than the
present plan. | honestly think that
goo6ly proportion OF our school Ia
spectoIs are unfit to sit In board or
education. We could adopt some plan
by which the membership OF smaller
board would be distributed over tile
city so that there could not be the oh
lection that they all come from the
First and Second wards. We should
have a change, however"
Il favor small board as being more
competent to pass on school matters.
says Attorney Clyde |. Webster. Such
body would attract the services OF
the best men In the community.
Without casting any reflection on
any particular member OF the present
board-for some wards are very well
represented--I would favoF change
in the board 10 q smaller body" says
Paul G. Renaud. There would be i'm
provement. am sure. in getting rid
OF the petty matters OF patronage and
ward politics that now have so much
effect"
Howard c. Beck. who had an oppor-
tunity as deputy controller to study
the board OF education methods, favors
a different board although he does not
outline amy definite plan except that
a smaller and more compact board Of
the best talent available should be
chosen.

KISSING THE BOOK
CUSTOM TO Be
ABANDONED
SCOTCH OATH TO REPLACE OLD
PRACTICE, WHICH HAS BEEN
MUCH cRITlcIsEp-NoT LEGAL.
~ REQUIRED.

LONDON. Jan. 2l.-What will prob
dealt 10 the practice known as
kissing the book" commonly 90
served In English law courts. During
recent years many objections have
been raised 10 The system. The small
bible which every witness was asked
TO kiss was often decidedly dirty. and
various suggestions have been made
whereby the practice could be dis
pensed with.
There Is apparently no legal sanction
for the practice which. however. Is
consecrated by long custom. A legal
encyclopaedia says that the habit OF
kissing the book did not become rec
ognized until the middle OF the sew
enteeLth century and only became gen
eIal In the latter part Of the eign.
teenth.
Judge Parry, Of Manchester. a mag
lstrate who cultivates literature and
the drama In his leisure moments, has
pointed out, however, that while IL L.
true that there is very little direct
authority In any OF the ancient law
books which enables one 10 say what
the practice was, that is only because
old lawyers didn't consider kissing the
book essential 10 the oath, and the
practice was so universally followed
that there was no need TO describe IL.
Judge Parry quotes Shapespeare 8
The Tempest" where Stephano says
Ill. 2, 1890 Here, kiss the book" to
support his contention, and says
that the idea OF kissing the book was
as familiar 10 veteran playgoer at

why, them asks Judge Parry,

man kiss the book by way Of assuring
his fellow-ci,izens that he is not go

swers by another question: Why does

est In that fashion. Both man and

Dearly as the English people cling
TO old customs. this hereditary habit
will now probably die out. Sir Goerell
Barnes. in the divorce court. initiated
the new method by instructing the
clerk of the court to ask witnesses IL
they wished to be sworn In Scotch
fashion In which there is no kissing
OF the book, and this example has
been followed by Justice Warrington
In the chancery division.
ITO meet the case of those who de-
sire TO kiss the book said he. when

ministering the oath where the wit

NOT JAPANESE CREPE

There also is a heavier quality OF
crepe, with more of crinkle, which Is
not Japanese, having been sold for
years on our dry goods counters at IL
and IL cents q yard. 1t is worth men
tiCning, although not new, because It
makes the most attractive of house
gowns for evenings at home, and is par
ticularly suitable for young girls who
take off their school dresses and feel
the necessity for a pretty gown, al
though there will be no occasion for
elaborate dressing. This particular
weave OF goods lends itself to a bold
dash of embroidery done in satin stitch.

advisable to suggest for the daughter,
who viii be thereafter interested enough
to do the plain work as we'll as the
fancy, and complete the gown, just for
the JOY OF having it. This low-priced
crepe is strong, and may be recon-
mended for laundry bags. patch bags,
and for all sorts of domestic uses where
good note of plain color is necessary
and where economy Is to be considered.
