the normal school board some discus
sion was held concerning the teaching
OF domestic science in the normal
school. Members of the board ex-
pressed the opinion that the normal
school was for the training OF teach
ers. and that not so much elective
study should be left to the choice OF
the young women. who have in view
the practical value of domestic science

day prominent member of the board
Is quoted as saying that the normal
school had no excuse for existing ex-

state In domestic science was not well
placed, as the young women were
taught there to be housewives, and the
average length of their service TO the
state as teachers was four years, after
which they generally married, and the
money. expended upon them by the
state In. the teachings of domestic
science was thus loss. Iii. 80:

teachers to teach better the lower

ton to prevent the Community Savings

The corporation licensed the Fidelity
Savings Company. of this city. and when
the Community Savings and Loan Com
pany adopted the system without obtain
ing q license. petition for the issuance OF
an injunction was filed through Attor-
neys Hicks. Morris. Garnett & Tunstall.
of New York and Norfolk, and Frank ].
Hogan. Of this city.
The defendant company employed Rep
resentative Hunter H. Moss to defend
the suit, and a motion to dismiss the bill
was made by Judge Moss. with whom was
associated Robert H. McNeill, counsel
for two Of the directors.
Tho motion was based on sixteen
different grounds. among which was the
contention that the Morris plan was not

plaintn; that In the absence Oh patent
or copyright. q financial plan Is not pro-
perty; that cannot be monopolized
and therefore no one can be exclusively
licensed to use II; that. even II the de-
PENDANTS were using tn. plan OF the
plaintiff, which was denied. they had an

stained fully the position Of the Com

the suit OF the plaintiff.
The plan. in brief. Is that the borrower
executes note. with two endorsers. for
amount Of loan desired and at the same
time subscrbes to q certificate OF stock
for an amount equal to the loan. He is
paid by the company the amount of
the loan. less per cent interest. and
undertakes to pay for the stock in weekly
installments. When the stock IL fully
paid for by these installments the amount
paid is equal to the loan and the loan
can be cancelled with lne total amount
paid on the stock II. however. the
borrower desires to make . new loan.
no personal indorsement is then
necessary and his certificate Of stock
is converted into q paid up certificate.
He uses this as collateral for the new
loan and proceeds In the same way. by
weekly installments, to pay II.
