Specifically the constantly frequent

to poor sermons as poor ventilation

REGULATE MARRIAGE PRO
pnSAIS

The most recent novelty in the di-
rection of matrimonial legislation is a
movement to cause all proposals of
marriage to be rendered invalid unless
made in writing. If the plan is
enacted into law, no mere verbal pro-
posal would be sufficient ground upon
which to base a breach of promise suit
Young women in quest of husbands

out like dance cards by suitors while

by such requirement. No man ought

MAssACHUsETTs's MISTAKE.

The nation is disappointed at the
choice OF Massachusetts for her vacant

Her fine tradition OF high public service

controlling reason for his election TO SIT

Legislature closed the door OF the

to the sohooihouscs. Every effort ought

sible attendance of citizens, and notices
of the meetings should DO published
far and wide. Where there are civic
leagues they should effect successful
community conferences concerning the
need OF better highways. In schools
where there are no leagues. the princi-
pal or teacher should assume the re-
sponsibility and take the initiative in
calling a meeting.
The circular urging action in this

tions have been formed To enlist the

cellent program for a good roads meet
ing, including the reading of the best
paper in each school by its author. an
address by some adult of the COM
munity. and debate as to the bond
issue method of securing improved
highways. In addition. some person in
the community should read a paper
or deliver an address on the good roads
question in his particular county. and
discuss the local roads in informing de-
tail. Valuable facts about better high
ways are presented in compact form in
the circular
The State Department OF Public In
struction and the COOPERATIVE Educa-
tion Association in this commendable
endeavor should have the whole-heart-

will mean better roads. and better roads
will mean better school facilities for
pupils. The people in a community
without good roads suffer incalculable
