out campaign bargains. There has
been, too, an affectation of reaction
arism ever present in the Senate to
nullify any spirit of progress in the
House and in the country at large.
This will be changed, utterly
changed, when every candidate for
senator must go before the people and
secure a popular majority. The move
ment will spread until every state,
except Utah, is put on popular
basis. Utah will be compelled to hold
senatorial elections under the sew
enteenth amendment, but her sena-
tors will no doubt continue to be
named by the hierarchy.

School Buildings on the Unit Plan

4 Eight new schools are needed in
this city and the board of education
should study the unit system for
school buildings designed by II. O..
Mcclure of Tulsa, Okla
Instead of one large building the
unit system provides for a number of
two room units arranged in a quad
rangle around a square with an as
sembly room as central feature. The
class room units are so by 81 feet,
and the assembly hall is so by 60
feet, seating 400 persons. In the base
1nent of the assembly hall is swim
ming pool. In that basement is the
heating plant, which serves the entire
quadrangle by means of concrete
duets. The playground in the center
is to be 300 feet square, affording
room for a baseball diamond, foot
ball contests as we'll as space for ap-
paratus for small children. The plan
offers small chance for fire or a
stampede 1t is safe and wholesome.
1T has no corridors to be heated. Its
assembly hall can readily become a
social center. 1t can be enlarged from
time to time as occasion calls for.
Each unit has two school rooms 26 by
80 feet, and each room has its own
girls and boys toilet separate, as
we'll as wardrobes.
The entire plan can be ascertained
by writing to Mr.. Mcclure, and the
board Of education would do well to
give it consideration. 1t seems to be
"a solution of a difficult problem in
any large town.

Hung Up in the House

The Senate proposes as the eigh-
feenth amendment a resolution pro-
viding that "the term OF Office oil
President shall be six years, and no
person who has held the office by
election, or discharged its powers or
duties. or acted as President under
The constitution and laws in pursu-
ance thereof shall be eligible to again
hold the office by election" Should
this resolution be ratified before
March A, 1917, the term of the Presi-
dent-elect would be automatically eX-
tended to March a, 1919.
The resolution is in the hands of the
judiciary committee of the House, OF
which Mr.. Clayton is chairman, and
the country begins to be curious as
to what that committee will do with
it. 1t is too big to be pigeon-holed,
and then, too, the democrats in the
House are Wy tiiSii Pi"N
form to the one term principle.
Public sentiment undoubtedly IA
vors the proposed amendment, or
something similar, by large ma
jority. The great parties favor it. All
see that it may prove beneficial in a
crisis, while no possible harm can
arise under it. No President holding
office under it could afford to be ty-
rannical, for he must gain sufficient
support from Congress in any event
to make~his administration success.
He would simply be relieved of the
scheming relating to a second cleo
tion.
The country expects the House
TO act upon the Senate resolution, and
if it passes it without change of a
word the satisfaction of the people
will be all the greater.
