been recognized by the University
officials. The entire discussion was
profitable.
The adjourned meeting of the dis
trict on Monday evening next will
probably do no more than meet and
adjourn because of the provisions of
the school law which requires that. an
estimate for the purchase of land shall
be made by the board in the notice of
the meeting. Under the school law as
amended at the last session Of the
ANY school district may, by
a majority vote of the qualified voters
of said district present at an annual
meeting, or at special meeting called
for that purpose, borrow money, and
may issue bonds Of the district therefor,
to pay for school house site or sites,
and to erect and furnish school build
ings The district board. or board of
education, shall estimate the amount
of money necessary to be raised and
shall state their estimate in the notice
of the annual or special meeting, at
which the question of borro wing money
and issuing bonds shall be submitted
to the people, and at said meeting the
voters shall have power to ratify by
the vote aforesaid the estimate of the
district board, or board of education,
or to fix new limit on the amount to
be borrowed and for which bonds may
be issued. The law limits the bonded
Indebtedness to ten per cent of the
assessed valuation OF the district, to $l0O
per capita for the last school census,
and the bonds to a period of Is years.
Under this, it will be necessary to call
special meeting Of the, district OF
wait until the next annual meeting
before action can be taken. The board
is required to call special meeting
upon the written request of five
qualified electors and by giving notice
for six days.
The sentiment expressed at the
meeting Monday evening and the
opinions heard on every hand since
would seem to warrant the calling of 9
special meeting.

'The only:...thing that has happened
since the progressive Republicans made
their campaign for the nomination Of
candidate for president in the Chi =.
cago convention is our failure to control
the convention due ae many bellows to
unfair or dishonest practices by our op.
ponents. I deeply regret the failure
and l agree that dishonest practices
without regard to consequences, ought
to be rebuked and punished; but can,
not believe that the disappointment.
however profound, or the dishonesty of
individuals, however heinous, can con-
stitute foundation upon which to rear
a new party.
IF we are vigilant these things can
never occur again in the Republican
party and if we are not vigilant, they
can occur in any party, old or new.
We cannot rid ourselves of bosses by
organizing another party. Bosses will
fasten themselves upon any party un-
less the rank and file are sleepless in
their fight against them. 1t is not
more difficult to deprive the old bosses
of power than to prevent the appear,
ance of new ones.
"For these reasons and others which
may be easily deduced from those
have given, shall not join the new
party, but shall continue to use all the
strength have to influence and direct
the course of the Republican party to.
ward its true mission.

shin.

A special election will be held in the
township of Caledonia on July Goth for
the purpose of considering the extension
of the franchise of the Owosso-C Corunna

study market conditions, means OF
transportation. and shipping facilities.
"By the time he has become &C.
quainted with each farmer in the local.
ity together with the type of farming
he is conducting and the methods and
practices that he uses he should have
acquired knowledge of the .agrioul
ture of that locality which will enable
him to quickly analyze the situation
on any farm he may visit, detect de.
fects in the cropping systems and gen.
eral management and at the same time
note any improvements that may exist
over methods in common use
"Such study will enable him to
advise the farmers in the establishment
Of better cropping systems on their
farms, in the intelligent selection of
better livestock, better seed, and better
markets. He becomes an agricultural
adviser to the farmers of that section
and his opportunities for broad study OF
general conditions enable him to under
stand better than anyone else the direc-
tion in which the agriculture of that
locality should be directed.
His work among the farmers not
only enables him to know the best prac.
tices which will result in the greatest
yield of crops per acre and the greatest
financial returns to the farm, but he
works towards the organization of the
local people into associations and socie-
ties for the general improvement of
their financial, educational and social
conditions"
From the above it will be seen that it

At the Tuesday luncheon of the I'm
provement association this matter was
presented by E. o. Dewey and after
some discussion was approved and
referred to the committee to be appoint

that the work of interesting the vari

Pending the adoption of the budget,
E. o. Dewey offered a resolution in.
creasing the amount to be raised 50, OOO
and authorizing the board to expend
that sum in the purchase of land ad-
jacent to present school sites to be used
for Fairgrounds. The expression of all
present was favorable TO such action
and desire was shown to have bonds
issued for larger sum, when the mo-
presented by MIR. Dewey authorizing
bond issue of $4,000. This it was
subsequently found was beyond the
power of the meeting and was with.
drawn. and when the meeting adjourn
ed until next Monday evening to give
time to ascertain what could be done
legally, the first motion was laid on the
table. During the discussion of this
question a most interesting informal
talk upon our school system was taken
part in by s. S. Miner, W. R. Good
rich, d. M. Christian, G. T., Campbell,
J. G. Shattuck, q. L. Sprague and
several others. The management of
the schools was commended and the
advancement made in the past few
years by the introduction of manual
training, domestic science, drawing,
music, physical culture, etc., was
warmly approved. Some criticism was
directed against the course of study
prescribed for the high school on the
ground that it was given over too
much to preparing the relatively few
scholars for college work at the expense
of the far greater number who COM
plete their education in the high school.
It was strongly maintained by one
speaker that more attention should be
paid to reading, spelling and writing.
