nations. The rules provide that all who
have been In the service OF the school
board for slX months or moro at the
time the rules go into effect will be
placed on the permanent list The rules

leo program ought to do away with
many OF the disagreeable features OF the
present system, which hang as bur
den about the necks of all new members

new member, II is said, is anxious 10
fire a good man merely because he hap
pens to belong to the other side in poll
tics nor 10 displace an old employe
merely TO make place for a new one.
