TEACHERS RETIREMENT
FUND BOARD T0ACT

The Teachers Retirement Salary
Act will become a law on August %.
On the board to have charge of the
administration of the law, Governor
Ferris has appointed the following
parties:
Mrs. Lulu I. Sigler, Grand Rapids;
Mrs. Abbie B. Roberts Marquette;
Judge William f. Connolly, Detroit;
Supt. +. c. Warmer, Saginaw; J. b.
Edmonson, Ann Arbor and Hon. Fred
l.. Keller, Lansing, member ex- officio.
At special meeting of the board
held in Lansing on August Z, the fol-
lowing action was taken:
/. The board determined to in
stitute legal proceedings shortly after
August % to secure from the supreme
court a decision on the constitutional
ity of the law.
2. The board determined to delay
any attempt to administer the law un-
til after the decision from the SUI
preme court. This means that no
contributions will be received from
the teachers or applications for re-
tirement granted until the issue of
constitutionality is forever settled by
a supreme court decision.
The members of the board are con-
fideht that the law is constitutional,
but wish to follow the cautious policy
of removing all question of doubt and

before it is too late. The
teachers are assured that the board
will retain very able legal talent TO
defend the constitutionality of the
measure. 1t is the purpose of the
board to try to get an early decision,
but it may take until March, 1916 TO
secure this. In the meantime the
board will be pleased if all pros
pective applicants are advised to
maintain their present status as
teachers until such time as the board
is ready to administer the law.
Until the question of constitution
atty is settled, the board will not at
tempt to pass oil the scores of ques-
tons being asked about the mean
ing of certain provisi MS of the law.
However, the board will be pleased to
have such questions submitted, with
the understanding that delayed an
swers are to be expected. Send such
questions to j. B. Edmonson, Ann Ar

Michigan's Two State Fairs

Just upon what grounds the fair at
Detroit and the West Michigan fair
at Grand Rapids have for claiming
that they are state fairs, we do not
know, neither do we care. What we
are interested in is that both these
fairs should be a success.
Until the action of Michigan's last
general assembly in appropriating
funds by which to pay premiums on
merltorlous exhibits, neither Of these
fairs received any aid from the state.
Neither had the state any voice in the
management of these fairs. Under
this recent action the state is repres-
ented, and the aid given insures the
payment OF premiums. This is a
splendid recognition of the value of
an agricultural fair, and if this ac
ton on the part of the legislature is
backed up by the people of Michigan.
as II should be, we will see these fairs
greater in every feature that makes
an agricultural fair.
The managers of these fairs are
dong everything in their power to
utlllze the money appropriated for
the agricultural, industrial and social
advancement of our people, anti under
these circumstances these managers
are entitled and should have the sup
port of the people.
Mr.. Dickinson, the highly efficient
manager of the Detroit fair. has
made pronounced success of the
Detroit fair without state aid, so that
with it he will be enabled to do great
er things from this time forward than
he could do in the past.
The Detroit fair this year will be
greater than ever, and we believe
Manager Dickinson can look for re-
cord breaking crowds, and a largely
increased number of contestants in
the various classes arranged for
them.
The West Michigan fair has not
been success, although some splen-
did fairs have been held at Comstock
Park. Under the impetus given this
fair by the state aid in payments of
premiums and the wise guidance of
Mr.. Lilly, the new secretary, we be-
lleve and we want to see the West
Michigan fair at Grand Rapids make
great success. From the large
amount of work Mr.. Lilly has done
since entering upon his duties as Sec
rotary, and the pledges he has from
agricultural and West Michigan coun-
ty associations, we believe their 1916
fair will be record-breaker in ev-
cry way.
These fairs, so admirably located
to represent every portion of the
state of Michigan, will be a mighty
power in the state industrial develop
ment if the people cooperate with the
fair managers as we believe they will.
Every farmer, every manufacturer,
every business man in Michigan from
this on until the fairs of 1915 are
over, should boost for these institu-
tons. Michigan can surprise the
world with her products, and here is
her opportunity, and the Detroit and
Grand Rapids fairs are the med
ium through which the opportunity
can be improved.

States mint at Philadelphia. was James

held his position until 1859. which was

There is no official information among
the mint authorities or records AS to
how the designer and engraver came
by his design or the model for il. but
an inquiry which was recently made
brought forth a recital of the facts
from man VINO appeared to be per
fectly acquainted with them.
The face on the penny is that OF
Sarah I.ongacre Keen. who was
daughter of the engraver. During 4
visit of a delegation of Indians 10

that fact probably originated in the

issue of a new penny, but no design
had been determined on, and the en-
eraver Mr. Ions eacre, MorkinE out the
Indian idea. submitted II as the design
for the forthcoming coin Numerous
designs were submitted in competi-
