late spring frost is experienced, which
is unlikely, the Grand valley expects
the greatest crop of fruit in its his

one-third of this amount.
The sugar beet crop will be the
largest in the history of Grand valley.

cate that the fleet and additional boats

-The opinion that the Japanese will

those dangerous generalities which
lead nations blindfold to the brink of

The Pail Mall Gazette expressed the
opinion that there are several reasons
Why Japan may be desirous of forcing
the issue at the present moment. The
most obvious of these is the pending
opening of the Panama Canal, while
a more remote one is connected with
the condition of her internal politics.

year.
A high school teacher could nave been
had last March to teach three months for
$3.50. Teachers for the grades could
also have been had. Then $500 could
have been drawn from the state school
fund Tor the high school teacher and $500
for each grade teacher for the ensuing
year. The borough would been saved
$40 if they had been employed to sit III
one corner of the schOolroom. On three
other occasions the Board of Education
has failed to have foresight enough to
elect teachers or when elected have failed
to have them reported to the county SUI
perintendent. The Borough has lost $l4OO
from the state school sund in the last
seven years because of the bad manage
ment of school finance by such men as
now dominate the Board of Education.
The net loss is 1910.
That means a tax of 8 cents ON the
500 or | cent tax for nine years for the
luxury OF having men OIL the Board of
Education who do not know the law or
fail to comprehend enough to act for
from six to eighteen months after being
told.
Furthermore some teachers have been
so overburdened with work that they
could not give as much personal instruc-
ton as the children would have otherwise
received.
Do the tax payers enjoy paying s
cents more tax for the luxury OF having
a stsndpat board of education? Their
tax rate will be 4 cents more OH 500
next year because of such.
