No Politics In 1t.
Nor has there been any partisan
politics in this inclination, SO far as
Iknow. 1t has been a matter OF graf
ittcauon to me tnat there has seemed
ito be an increasing desire among the
members of the General Assembly to
put aside partisan politics when the
public scnool interests were being con-
sldered. and l regret exceedingly to,
hear that efforts are being put forth
to make IL appear that the Democratic
! representatives in the General As
sembly have attempted to do any
| thing TO inJure the public school sys-
tenn. The charge is ludicrous. and Will
/ not deceive any man OF even ordinary
! Intelligence. In fact, were any one

as an Insult to my intelligence and the
author Of the statement as either too
Ignorant to know what he was talking

Z ton.
1t was impossible when the General
: Assembly OF 1910 was In session to
know just what the increase in the
number Of school children would be.

Itthat the $4,000 given as a graded
school fund, and with the conditions
lattached to the gift, would result in
raising from 100000 to $4,000 adds
