Mills protested that he wanted
some public demonstration. He
declared after the council meet
ing that he has a meeting on this
afternoon whit Rev. T. w. Lane
of the First Methodist church.
whom Mills declared he believed
had something
"I'm going to stop the public
investigation as IL Is started, II Is
too raw" said the mayor. THAT
is, ah, l mean it is not feasible, "
The mayor evidently has heard
some of the street talk which re-
CARDS the attempt of Mills to have
his own department investigated
as q joke, i'm ew of the fact that
vice has been openly operating
in the city and blind pigs flour
ishing under the noses of the po-
lice, as demonstrated by the raid
of the county authorities.
"It's farce" said Commission
er Woods. Judge Stiles says 1t
Is a farce, too. 1t hardly looks
reasonable that these places
would exist without the police
knowing It,"
Commissioners Mills is trying to
force the issue to revolve around
j. s. Ellsworth of the civil SER
vice board. Ellsworth said said
at the Improvement club the other
night that there was graft here
and he could prove it and l want
him to come in and do It," says
Mills.
Mr.. Ellsworth, however, refuses
TO say whether he actually did say
he knew there was graft and
could prove 1t or not.
"You may say / stand pat and
if a proper tribunal appears I
will stand pat on what / actually
did say, not on what l may have
been reported as saying" said
Ellsworth today, after declining
to make any statement on the
case.
The public generally does not
regard the statement of Ellsworth
with the Importance Mills seeks
to attach to it but is watching with
interest the little game going on
at the city hall.
Referring to the street talk
that the raiding of a disorderly
house Wednesday night by the
police is a grand stand play to
quiet the uncomplimentary dis
cussion of the inactivity of the
police while the places raided by
the county flourished unmolested,
Mills said:
well, We are going after them.
If we are late We are going to
keep enforcing the law. l know
of a case now that may develop
! in a week.
After the mayor this morning
suggested the public investigation
be called off Mills said he would
let it go until after the meeting
with Lane this afternoon. Then
he will see what he will do on 1t.

Fred Boalt Goes Back to School
Finds That Things Have ChanGed

knew, Claude knew-we all knew
that before long the teacher
and the best scrapper must have
it out. If the teacher won, we
were "broaen." If Claude won,
the teachers usefulness in that
town was ended.
Claude did something forget
what. Mr.. Crane charged down
the aisle toward him. | stuck out
a foot and tripped him, and he
struck his head against the iron
understructure of a desk. For a
moment he was partially stunned.
Claude, IT, and big for his
years, and strong, dropped on
him, and they clinched. 1t was
some fight. Whatever Mr.. Cranes
faults as a teacher may have been
he was no coward. Gradually his
head cleared, and after 10 min
utes of rough-and-tumble fighting
and slugging he had Claude grog-
gy. He would have beaten him,
too, if luck hadn't played into
Claude's hands.
Our room was heate' 0y a big
sheet-iron stove in which we
burned heavy cordwood, each
stick three feet long. The wood
was piled against the wall behind
the stove.
Claude, backing away from the
teacher, tripped over the wood
pile. Quickly he stopped, and
the next instant brought length
of cordwood down flush on the
teachers forehead. Mr.. Crane
dropped like poled OK. The
wonder is it didn't kill him.
OF course there was a scandal
in our small town. Claude was
fired" So was I.
have said that I don't know
whether l am glad or sorry that
these great changes have occurred
i'm the schools. One must, of
course, be glad. The new order
is infinitely better than the old.
My regret is simply the sentiment
tai regret of a man who never can
be young again.
What did / learn in that half
year in the first year high? And
how much did l retain?
We had a smattering of Latin
the grammar of it and julius
Caesar. We had the rudiments
of Greek. A little algebra. A
little English and physiology.
But We received no manual
training, no commercial instruc-
ton. The girls weren't taught
to COOK and sew. Why, yesterday
botany class went out into the
fields and fetched back wild flow
ers. And today | saw them look
ing into the very hearts of those
flowers through microscopes and
discovering the secrets hidden
there.
I saw boys at forges, making
tools and chains. saw boy
craftsmen making plans for ma
chinery, for furniture, for houses,
and later 1 saw other boys i'm the
workshops making furniture -
good furniture--and tooIs-good
toOls-and all manner of things
from the plans they had them
selves drawn. saw boys keep
ing books. saw boys learning
shorthand.
1 asked Principal Hunt where
the "bad" boys were. But il ap-
pears there aren't any. They are
all too busy to be ''bad."
