Easier to Be Good or Bad?

Is it easier to be good than to be

for applause, the desire to strut with
inflated chest, the memory of virtues

drag the helpless victim into the
meshes of goodness. The wonder is
that sin does not become extinct. like
those functions of the body which
were used before simians stopped
climbing trees and became men.
Really, isn't it wonder that after
innumerable years of experience with
the inevitable penalties of badness and

For virtue fits in with the way the
world is built. The pagan would say
that virtue Is virtue because it does

doesn't. The pious would say that
virtue fits because it is virtue, and
that vice does not fit because it is

that virtue fits and that vice does not:

Some idea of what the tax commits

In this and other years.
Reviews have been finished in Sagi-

Oakland, Berrien. Van Buren, and Al

full assessment of taxes is made so
that taxes will be paid in December
on the new appraisal made by the

raised the assessed valuation of prop

In Marquette the raise was but ST.

In Saginaw the figures of the board

In a good pink the stem should be

flower, not incurved, but rather turned
outwards, so that the flower may ex.

BuroIar.Proof Glass in Paris.

Great strides have been made in
France these last few months In the
use of burglar-proof glass. It's dis.
covery was due to it's tremendous
need, for Paris, of all cities in the
world, seemed to be most at the mer-
cy of that particular form of high
wayman who frequents the boule-
Yards at night, breaks the windows OF
jewelry stores and makes away
promptly with the valuables.
It is claimed that this burglar-proof
glass is made by secret process,
though, of course, it is admitted that
it's thickness is one of it's first essen
tails. 1t is from one-half to an inch
thick and is able to resist a hard
blow, aimed by strong man, from a
15-pound iron handle. Ordinary glass
would have been shattered by blow
less than one-tenth as heavy.
Much is expected from this inven-
ton in the near future.

New Courses for Michigan Blind.

Extension of the usefulness of the
Michigan School for Blind along sew
eral practical lines is contemplated by
plans which will place the Michigan
school easily in the lead of similar
statej institutions. The plans which
are of considerable magnitude include
both the enlargement of the physi-
cal properties, and improvement of
the course of study. The latter, &C
cording to Superintendent Clarence e.
Holmes, is regarded as the more sig
nificant
Notable. among the changes Of the
school curriculum will be the added
emphasis placed upon industrial
courses and vocational instruction.
The object Of the management is to
equipment graduate for a remuner-
ative occupation as we'll as supplying
him with a complete technical and lit
erary education.
The success with which the Michi-
gan institution pioneered the manual
training field encourages the manage
ment to hope for equal success from
the institution of an industrial
course. In addition to the wood
working employments and chairmak-
ing of the manual training class 1t is
the intention of the management to
gradually venture into the field Of me-
chanical instruction.
The addition of two dormitories this
year is expected to greatly improve
the conveniences of the institution. A
splendid two-story and basement dor
mitory for high school girls is being
built ON the south side of the campus.
The structure will face north with
frontage Of 134 feet and depth of 3S
feet, and will have a south wing "a
feet deep. The building will be of
dark brick and fitting complement to
the recently built school building just
west of it.
Spacious living room. three on each
floor, will occupy the ends Of the
wings and off each general living
room the individual rooms for the girls
will be arranged, eight in each wing,
providing room for 4S girls. Toilets
will be located at the junction of the
lateral wing with the main building in
a single plumbing center, conducive
to the best sanitation as well as con-
venience of architectural design The
basement portion will be utilized by
bath rooms and dressing rooms, with
lockers and all other appurtenances.
The new building will be heated
from the central beating plant which
supplies all the buildings of the school.
