The Twilight Club.

Monday evening, William Pieplow of

the Hotel Commercial, his subject being
school affairs. During his remarks,
which were listened to,with rapt atten-
ton by the members of the club and To-
cal school officers, he made mention of
many points that should receive immedi-
ate attention:
First. A new high school building,
one in keeping with the size and wealth
of the clty,sthat there should be less
crowding of the pupils.
Second. Only five members OF the
board of education, vino should be elect
ed at large instead of IN subdivisions,
so that each member would be a repre-
sentative of the whole city and not
part.
Third. A large board would be I'M
wieldy and not able to accomplish as
much as smaller number In given
time and could act more expedltlously.
Fourth. That the teachers should be
employed upon the recommendation OF
the superintendent of the schools VINO Is
conyersant with the work of the teachers

Anent the Supervise S

The voters in the several wards in the
city should remember that the most inn
pOrtant officers to be elected at the APP
preaching municipal election are the
in the several wards and
only good men should be elected to rep
resent the city on the county board,
men who are able to express themselves
and who will not be wheedled into yot-
ing for measures that would initiate
against the city and the northern part
of the county. Usually the voter is quite
Indifferent as to the qualifications of
the candidates for the county board.
While he may vote for a good man gen
orally speaking, his candidate should
be strong man, one who will exert an
influence on the board by reason of his
ability and personality. In the past We
have had some able men to represent
the city and the standard should not be
lowered. 1t is true that the emoluments
of the office are not alluring and for that
reasO the best men in the city should,
from local pride and civic loyalty, be
candidates and be elected. In these
days and under the new municipal plan
politics cut no figure and the best should
be chosen.
