EDUCATION AND THE CHARTER.

EDUCATION AND THE CHARTER.
The Board Of Education has declared
itself in strong terms against the pro-
visions Of the proposed charter which
substitute a paid board for the present
unpaid board. transfer many Of its func-
tons to the Board Of Estimate and APP
portionment and In general upset the
educat ional system Of the city. 1t IS Of
course natural that the Board of Educa-
ton should not regard with favor the
proposal to legislate 1t ont of existence,
but nevertheless its arguments are en-
titled to respect They are those Of men
and women who have had experience in
directing the educational system Of the
city, and they are those of men and
women who are doing their work not for
pay but from n sense Of public spirit.
On their side they have. moreover. the
unanimous voice of educators and Of all
who are interested in the public schools.
No one who has given the subject study
has come forward in defence of the plah
Ct the proposed charter. The experience
of other cities all over the country is
against a paid board subordinated 10
local political authorities, and the
regular practice Of this state is against
il There is no public demand for the
change, and the subject is Of such i'm
portance to the community that it will
be monstrous improperly if Mayor
Gaynor's political allies in Albany, in
order to serve ultimately the purposes
of Tammany Hall, jam the new charter
through i'm the crowded hours of II
session at which it will be impossible TO
give II adequate consideration.

HEALTH CONDITIONS IN THE
TOWNSHIP NEVER BETTER

The township of Calumet was never
i'm more healthy condition than at
the present time. There is almost an
entire absence of infectious diseases
and 1t is believed that cold weather Is
in a measure accountable for this.
Health officer Robert NJ. Wetzel
states that with exception of little
scarlet fever scattered throughout the
township, no other diseases which
would occasion any alarm are preva-
lent. There is an utter absence of
diphtheria and smallpox.
The health Of the township COM
pares favorably with that of any other
township in the state, which is cause
for congratulation. Calumets drink
ing water supply is now of the best
and purest, while good sanitary con-
ditions also are a big factor in the
health of the district.
