STUDENTS TO GOVERN.
Council to be Formed in High School
Between Teachers and Glasses.

Following out a suggestion made by
Principal Kelley the Houghton high
school is To have student council"
This body, which will be composed of
two members from each class, two
from the commercial department and
the members OF the faculty, will have
a sort of unofficial jurisdiction i'm all
matters involving the different classes
or departments of the school. Disputes
often arise among the various classes
or between the student body and the
faculty in matters of either study or
athletics which can best be solved By
taking them up in a meeting of such
a body as this new one will be.
In order to insure a high grade rep
resentation of the classes in this coun-
ell it has been decided that no student
whose grade is below IN. plus" will
be eligible TO membership. 1t is
thought that there will be meetings
of the classes at different times during
the present week at which the MEM
bers of the council will be chosen.
While this council will be no way of
fetal, it is thought that by placing
some of the matters which arise in
school life before this body that their
recommendations will be followed and
the matters thus settled amicably.

scribed before the jury on the stand
yesterday, bore up well under the fire
of questions by the attorneys for the
defendants.
The next witness TO take the stand
was Jacob Link, the man for the rob-
bing of whom Charles Hook, the com
plainants husband, was sent To the re-
formitory at Pontiac for Is months
Link told of the drinking bout i'm
which he and Hook engaged on the
day when he was robbed it being the
evident intention of the prosecution q
show that Hook could get liquor from
the defendant saloonists after they
had been warned not To furnish him
the drink. Charles Hook was placed
on the stand by the prosecution this
morning and his testimony and cross
examination took up almost the entire
day.
