big role and obtain important conces-

One OF the most striking features of
the elections is the fact that the Cleri-
Gals, for the first time since 1881, are
no longer the strongest party and no
longer hold the casting vote among the

A new feature in connection with

increased acreage of cleared lands in
the counties comprising the north

stantial increase of acreage In clear

The report shows a decrease in the
general average of pigs and lambs

CLAIM LAW NOT ENFORCED
County Superintendents Criticise In
dustriai Board for Attitude on
Compulsory Education.

Observation-Disclosures that the new
state Industrial board was created to
give fat jobs to politicians, the coun-
ty superintendent in convention
here sharply attacked c. II. Crown
hart, head of the state industrial
board, for not enforcing the compul-
sorry school attendance law.
Crownhart was present and spoke
on the work of the board, which
should enforce the truancy law.
When he finished he said he would
attempt to answer any criticisms OF
the boards work. A storm of de-
nunciations followed. the principal
complaint being that the industrial
board does not enforce prosecution,
and that the hands of superintend-
ents are tied under the present con-
ditions.
Warren f. Hicks. Cleveland man
who has been engaged as expert to
help establish public evening voca-
tional schools, spoke on possibilities
of new work. He said in all his edu-
cational experience he has found dull
pupils and pupils of poor people
have less chance to get training
which they need even more than
bright pupils. and that industrial
schools required by the new law in
all cities of over 5000 will meet the
need.
