at the Hamilton and Princess, he
wheeled with her to Tom Moore's
house for strawberries and cream.
and he bathed with her in the pretty
blue pool with it's lining of azure tiles.
But he didn't propose. Was ne too
bashful? The girl, at any rate, one
afternoon in tea garden. offered to
read his future, and, halding his big
brown hand in her slim white one,
she murumured. as her finger moved
delicately across his palm:
"'This line indicates that before you

Compulsory Industrial training, At

the island schools. The Americans
have carefully studied the possibili-
ties of the valuable raw materials
abundantly at hand In the islands,
and are able to show the Filipinos
how to make the most of them Every
Filipino schoolboy is required to do
a certain amount of work with native
woods and fibers; every one must
learn to till the soil by actually doing
1t in the school garden and In plat
of his own. and every Filipino school
girl is taught certain essentials OF
sewing and other home-making arts.
All the children In the schools are
obliged to pass through this period OF
elementary training In the everyday

affairs are concerned. is assured to
Cleveland In the terms OF the new
city charters which has been com
pleted Experts declare the proposed
charter is model.
Nominations. by petition instead Of
by primaries and the preferential sys-
tenn OF voting In elections are to be
leading features OF the new govern
mental system OF the city.
II Is aimed to simplify election ma.
chinery and give the greatest possible
expression to the will OF the voters
who not only are to have their first
choice for each office counted. but
their second and other choices as
well.
The mayor and twenty-six members
OF the council are the only city ON.
Gals who are to be elected under the
new charter. All the others are ap.
pointive. Candidates for the elective
positions are to certify their names
backed by the signatures of voters to
the board of elections and be placed
upon a non-partisan ballot. carrying
no party designations of any kind
and on which the names are TO be ro
tated.
There are to be three columns In
which cross marks indicating the win
OF the voter may be made. These will
be headed. First choice" Second
choice" and "other choices" Each
voter may mark his first and second
choice for each office, and then may
designate as many other choices" as
he sees fit. II no candidate for office
receives a majority of the first choice
votes. then the second choices are to
be counted with the first choices. II
no one has a majority OF both first
and second choices. the "otheI
choices" are to be added. and major
ity of all reckoned in determining the
victor.
The recall is to apply to all elective
officials. The mayor may be recalled
upon the petition of $4,000 voters. and
councilman may be recalled upon
the petition of 600 of his voting con.
stituents.
The mayor and councilmen are
elected for two-year terms.
The mayor is to have the veto. but
1t is to be nullified to large extent
by the provision that any measure
may be passed by the council over the
veto by majority vote.
Ordinances may be initiated by petit
lions which contain the names of 5000
voters
