Charles 3. jennings, the veteran
school teacher and superintendent of
schools for the city of New London
reminding the board of school visitors
that another year had passed and that
the time has arrived for his annual
report. launches out in very interest
ing essay on the days when the SUI
perintendent went to school and its
disadvantages in comparison with the
school opportunities of today and its
advantages. Mr. Jennings submits
several quotations from newspapers
and tells of his unsuccessful venture
at farming at his summer homo in
Gales Ferry. He does not give much
of any detail of the present school
work but recommends industrial
training in the grammar school, which
he says will have the support of the
trustees Of the elegantly equipped
manual training school, and recon-
mends that farm gardening be sub
stituted for play grounds.
He sugg asts that the city purchase
a tract of land adjacent to the trolley
line. have a farmer plough and till the
ground, and then apportion small plots
to school pupils, who for their care
of the plot Will receive half the pre-
the money received from the garden
truck be turned over to some city
department to aid in paying the run
ming expenses of the city school farm.
Mr.. Jennings makes other recon-
mendations of interest and OF more
or less Importance and shows the
earnest interest he takes in my girls
and boys by giving them a chance
to get education along advanced lines
that Mr.. Jennings says were denied
the boys and girls of his school days.
1t is always a pleasure to read his
annual essays as they TEEN with
originality, and differ ma terially from
the customary annual reports made
by superintendent of schools in other
| cities.

was before the OLeary ordinance
made it an Office of some account

fee will be given more consideration
hereafter when the minor officers, who
serve without pay are appointed. 1t
will not be permitted to remain va
cant as was the office of gauser for the
past year. as the fees are now some
thing OF an attraction.
II is said that a proper adminstrs-
ton of the office of sealer of weights
and measures will yield that official
at least $1,000 a year, but of course
no such proportionate amount will be
veported by the present incumbent at
this time, for the actual duties are now
being performed for the first time and
the golden results have not as vet ma
teria1iZed, and 1t is too near the end
of the present term, to make report
that could be taken as a basis for the
establishment of limit of the fees
that are to be retained by the present
or future holder of the office.
The sealer of weights and measure
is an office of Importance in many
other cities GndN when the present
competent official gets all that per-
tains to his position in smooth work
ing order the Importance of the Of
fee will be better realized here. New

BIG LOBBY 0USTED
BY lower HOUSE
State Secures Building TO Re-
liGVG COngGStGd Capitol

Columbus, o., March 15.-Trinity
Parish house will soon become the
property of the state Of Ohio, for a
consideration Of $4,000. The state
is to use the building, after enlarging
and repairing 1t, to house various de-
partments of the state government,
that. crowded out OF the state Capitol
building, have been tenants in Colum-
bus Office buildings. The state pays
about S11 900 annual rentals for these
offices and proposes to save the
money by the purchase of the old
Trinity house.
The first result Of the recent agi-
tation against active lobbying in the
legislature developed In the adoption
by the house of the resolution by
Representative Braun, which pro-
vides for the exclusion from the house
smoking room of all save authorized
persons. So far the senate has taken
no action In the matter.
In all probability the Woods public
utility bill will not be passed upon
this week by the house. 1t is ex-
pected that the Langdon bill with
necessary amendments and inevitable
discussion, and the one per cent tax
limit bill, both of which are set for
special orders In advance OF the
Woods bill, will probably take all
week. Then the proposed amend
ments to the Woods bill will require
reprinting of the bill before the final
vote, so that the big fight Is still two
weeks distant.
There is a general belief that the
tax commission bill will pass In
some shape, but the fight against the
Woods bill Is unceaslng. The Ohio
Journal of Commerce Is out in Its
current Issue with a defense of the
lobby as necessary safeguard
against destructive legislation.
In the house of representatives
Howard OF Licking county introduced
the Dean bin, which was recently de,
feated in the senate, and which pro
vides that cities voting wet can re-
tain their saloons even II the -emain.
der OF the county votes dry. The OBJ
ject of introducing the bill In the
house Is to place the members on
record on the temperance question.

X JURY
System In Ohio To Be
Greatly Changed
If This Proposed Bill Be-
comes A Law

If bill introduced into the senate
by Senator Mathews becomes law
the jury system of the state will be
reorganized and friends of the bill
say that the professional juror will
be put out of buness. 1t Is the
aim of the bill to take the Jury sys-
tenn out of politics as much as possi-
BILE and give greater publicity to the
drawing of jurors and so limit the
term of service Of each Juror that
none will profit by the service. One
commissioner instead of four, will
have charge of the system under the
direct supervision of the court. He
will have one assistant of opposed
politics and the salaries will be fixed
by the court. All electors are exam.
ined by the commissioners as to in
telligence, honesty, sense of hearing
and ability to understand the Ian
guage of the court The system is
open to investigation by order of the
court once in two years. No juror,
under the new law, could serve for
more than eighteen days once in two
years, unless longer time was nee
essary to complete one trial, and he
receives SO a day, which is 81 more
than at present. The court may
postpone and interchange term of
service to accommodate Jurors All
drawings are to be advertised in two
newspapers in advance and give the
public an opportunity to be present.
Each name is placed upon the venire
as soon as drawn, preventing the
juggling of names. The commission
er gives notice to the juror as soon
as he is drawn, allowing him time
to prepare to serve.
