School Trustees Undecided
About Shortening Term.
CLOSING FAVORED BY SOME
Joint Committee Decides to Ask City
Attorney Whether or Not Teachers
Can Compel Payment OF Full Term
SaIaries-Retrenehi Slowly.

Following a somewhat lengthy dis
cussion of the point, the school board
committees on finance and buildings
and grounds. sitting last night as
Joint retrenchment committee. decided
20 ask City Attorney j. A. Massie for
an opinion as to whether or not the
school board can legally close the city
schools before the end of the regular
school term for lack OF funds to keep
them operating for the full term, and
whether or not the teachers could sue
the board and recover the amount OF
salary due them on their contracts
with the board to teach nine months.
Says Board Has Right.
When the committee met a ma
jority apparently was in favor of wlp-
ing out the pending deficit for the
session by closing the schools on
May 81. instead of June 10. However,
the legal question involved was
brought up and discussed at length.
President Pickett declared that the
school law gave the board the right
to close the schools whenever neces-
sary. but other members decided
against him. Ii was cOntended that
under the contract with the teachers
the board cannot dispense with the
services of the teachers without
cause" ard that the teachers and not
the board must make the cause.
II finally was decided to get the
opinion of the city attorney on the
matter and to hold another meeting
in the near future so that the commit
too can complete its labor before the
regular meeting of the board.
Little pruning" Done.
The sum total of the boards re-
trenchment last night for the remain
der of the present session was $40,
that amount being cut off of the JAM
tors expenses. The board Is facing
a deficit of about $1,000 for the ses-
sion and the only way that has been
suggested to wipe it out is 10 close
the schools before the end of the
term. If City Attorney Massie rules
that the board can do so legally, it
is possible that the session will be
shortened. However. several mem
bers OF the board will make q siren
uous fight against such action.
The committee decided to dispense
with the services of the janitor at
white school No. 3 and to transfer
janitor from the Central building to
that school. George Rix was dropped
as janitor of the colored school No.
i, at a salary of $3.50 per month,
and the committee on buildings and
grounds was authorized to employ
a janitor to take his place at $50 per
month. The extra 50 per month al
lowed ". H. Peeden, ianitor of the
Twenty eighth street school. for ser
vices as janitor to the night school
was cut off, effecting a total saving
of $50 per month
For Next Session.
1t was decided last night that the
board should soon go into the matter
of a retrenchmcnt for next session
and the members seem determined 20
reduce the expenses for the next
school year so as to run the schools
with the appropriation from the city
council.

HE FOUND EXPERIENCE.
HOmesick Boy Had q Pretty Severe
Am Trial.

At sometime or other in our lives
the call to wander on to new fields
comes to us. OF course all do not
obey it, yet many do. Some make a
success Of their new chance in life, II
1t may be called that, while others
make complete failure.
A few of the citizens of Abilene
are wondering what will come Of W.
F.. Dale's trip for experience. Dale
is a young chap, IS years old, from
Marshall, Mo. Six weeks ago he left
there with twenty-five dollars in his
pocket. He had completed his
course in the local high school and
had taken one year at college. He
thought 1t would be a fine thing to
60 to some place where he was not
known and join In the universal
struggle for the almighty dollar.
He landed in Abilene with some
clothes and a little money. He had
plenty of letters from home people
and he thought It would be an easy
matter to land position in store.
He soon found out his mistake and
the best he could do was to get a job
with a farmer on the outskirts OF
town. There he receives the won
derful, amount Of fifteen dollars q
month and his board. Even at that
he has a small bank account. Now
he has become homesick and dis
gusted with the work a young man
has to perform to make fifteen dollars
a month.
1t all goes to show that four
years in high school and one year at
college does not always help a man
to good position in a strange town.

HOT AIR FROM HERINGTON.
That Town Dreams Of Making a New
County.

Harrington, Kas., July 14-The lat
est scheme of the Harrington CONNER
cial club is to add another county to
Kansas. If the live wire members
of this club are able to carry out
their scheme the county of Herring
ton will be injected into the maps
Of Kansas. .s,5ss,,,,. NJ
Since the organization of an en-
thuslastic boosting commercial club
last fall every idea forwarded to the
benefit of Harrington has been car.
ried out with success. Unless the
law intervenes, Harrington will at
tempt to chop piece Of territory off
the counties Of Dickinson, Morris and
Marion, and with these three contri-
buttons draw an imaginary boundry
line around the territory and call the
district Harrington county.
. The idea Of the Commercial club Is
to relieve the three counties, Dickin-
son, Marion and Morris from an out
Of the way portion Of their district
and combine it into section Of ~
square miles with the name Herring
ton" attached to the county and with
Harrington as the county seat.
In organizing the new county Her
ington would have in its Jurisdiction
such towns as Hope, Woodbine, Ma
varre, Latimer, Dillon, Delavan, wiz
sey, Burdick, Lincolnville. Tampa,
Carlton, Elmo, Ramona, Lost Springs
and shadybrook. All of these towns
average about 400 in population.
The population of these towns ad-
ded to the population of Herington
which is about 5000, 1t will be seen
county with at least 10000 popula-
ton would be organized. An estl-
mate of $4,000 probably would be
near than the correct figure.
This idea was instigated some
time ago by the members Of the Her
ington Commercial club and such a
storm OF protests came from sur
rounding county seats that the
scheme was abandoned. At this
time. however, the Commercial club
will take heed to the encourage
.ment from the surrounding territory
and not to the county seats.

Luck to come. Men would stop and

was always too busy waiting for
Luck. He didn't want to be caught
mapping when Luck called. He slept
late in the morning and when he did
get up his mother had hard work to
get him to bring in a bucket Of coal
or a pail of water. So he sat around
and waited for Luck until ten years
rolled by, but he wasn't discouraged.
Then another ten rolled by and he
was still whiting boxes on the street
corners Occasionally a boyhood

was getting along. but always got the
