ORDINANCE TAKEN
FROM PIGEON HOLE
Street Car Ventilating Measure APP
proved by Common Council De-
spite Protest of D. U. R. Official.

After session eniivened by some
sharp repartee, in which General Man
ager Brooks, OF the ID. u. r., Assistant
Corporation Counsel Penniman and
several aldermen participated, the
council committee on ordinances de-
cided, Wednesday morning, to report
out next Tuesday night the new street
car ventilating ordinance drafted by
Mr.. Penniman. 1t provides for q
change OF air in the car every eight
minutes. An amendment proposed by
Mr.. Brooks, for the purpose, PENN
man declared, OF further delaying the
matter, was promptly turned down by
the committee and the ordinance went
through exactly as drafted.
Ii was a gingery session from the
outset, for Mr.. Penniman started in by
taking exceptions TO published state
ment by Aid. Gutman blaming the
corporation coupsel's Office for the de-
lay in taking up this ordinance. Penni-
man declared that he had waited
around good part of one afternoon.
three weeks ago, for the committee
to hold a meeting, but no quorum
materialized.
When this momentous question was
disposed Of, the committee got down
to the consideration of the ordinance
itself MIR. Brooks in his usual shave
manner, told the committee that the
company would be put to great ex-
pense In the installation of ventilators
and suggested that tests be made for
the purpose OF selection OF a venti-
lator that would be satisfactory TO all
concerned.
IL am informed that the company
has said il would not put in venti-
lators until it got a new franchise"
put in Penniman.
That is not true,' retorted Brooks.
We'll, got the information
straight" Penniman insisted.
Then somebody has lied" And Mr..
Brooks eyes blazed in anger.
A little later Mr.. Brooks renewed
his suggestion in another form. He
wanted the ordinance to provide that
the ventilator to be used must be APP
proved by some city department, pre-
ferably the health department.
You didn't ask any advice as TO
what kind OF air brakes to put on.
observed Penniman. You waited UNI
Til the supreme court forced you TO
adopt air brakes and then you found
satisfactory brake without any out
side assistance"
II submit that this suggestion is a
fair one" insisted the ID. u. X. OF.
fetal. And there is no politics in 1t.
That's strange" was Penniman' S
final thrust
Aid. Vernon proposed that the ordi'
nance provide for a change of air
every eight minutes without the crea-
ton OF dangerous drafts. II was the
sense OF the committee, however, that
the dangerous draft clause would only
give the ID. u. r. another opportunity
TO raise a technical objection In
court. II hauled up for violating the
ordinance. and II was not consid-

FOR QUALITY IN EDUCATION
Accuracy and Efficiency the Two
Main Requisites for the 6usl.
ness World OF To-day.

Accuracy and efficiency are quail
ties very much needed in the social
organism. Business men complain
of the lack of these qualities in the
products Of the schools. Making
some allowances for the probability
that business men often expect too
much of inexperienced youth and
forget how slowly they themselves
became skillful through many fail
ures, it is still likely that our educa-
tional methods are defective in the
matter of training pupils to be accu-
rate in observation, in expression, in
computations and in drawing con-
illusions. Those who complete a
school course ought to be sure of
something and efficient in doing.
They should know what they know
and know that they are ignorant of
what they do not know. The vague
ness of the requirements of many
products of the schools is such that
the possessors make guesses without
mental scruples or apprehensiOns. 1t
is safe to say as much as this in the
way Of suggesting a remedy, quality
in education should never be sacri-
feed to quantity, G. ~-elessness
should never be tolerated in the
class room, either in speech or act
Or thought. Mental alertness should
be cultivated and made a habit.

Canton's Big Race Meet.

Nothing in the history of racing in
this section of the state has occupied
the attention Of the public like the
races this week, and the opening day,
Tuesday, proved that the people were
anxious to see the fast horses and
automobiles compete for glory and
wealth, and it was a crowd that
appreciated the sport. Over go autos
were banked inside the track and
hundreds of teams were there, and
both grand stands were damned with
people, and all were delighted with
the speed events.
The gentlemen who have reason to
be proud of the races and have given
much of their time advertising and
promoting the event are G. A. Berry,
president Of the association, T. J..
McDermott, secretary, p. S. Pickett
and Charles Seely. OF course others
have assisted and the business men in
general have taken a deep interest in
the success of the meeting this year
because they put up over $500 Tor
purses. Canton is united and works
in harmony for anything that enter
tains and amuses the people, and the
people love tobe entertained. Canton
is the best amusement town in the
state and this splendid reputation
comes through unity OF action.
