THE GIRLS SELF IMPROVEMENT
 CLUB
By Eugenia GIascock

6y Gu9enid SISSCOCR As president of the Girls Self Inn provement Club, I have been asked to write and tell all about it I will try to do so, but being very inexperienced, this being my first connection with club work l shall try to do the best I can and trust that you will criticize my efforts kindly.
 This club is now in it's early infancy but we are hoping that it will continue to grow and will develop into organi- zation of which we shall be proud.
 For long time I felt the need of a girls club-a common meeting ground wherein we might become better ac- quainted with others-might get into touch with others on a broad plane of comradeship-I saw I felt that need but it was rather vague and it never found voice until the big idea came to me and l found that others had the same feeling.
 Many of us, when we are young get the impression that life is for the express purpose of having a grand good time and that is about all. It is true. perfectly true that we are due a grand good time-but there are so many other things that we can get out or HNlnS that VIII meas more to us, especially if they are combined we'll I am sure we all like good time and perhaps even few will agree with Burns But pleasures are like poppies spread You seize the flower, it's bloom is
 shed;
 Or like the snow falls in the river, A moment white-then melts forever; Or like the borealis race
 That fit ere you can point their
 place,
 Or like the rainbow's lovely form, Evanishing amid the, storm Nae man can better time or tide
 It is the main purpose of our club to combine pleasures with the more serious interests of life.
 It is our intention to make this club q permanent organization. As

 The most interesting and necessary figure in clubdoom today is the young woman This is the message that Mrs Percy Penneybacker. president of the General Federation of Women's clubs gives to the various club presidents and in undertaking extension work ur- ges them to follow out the scheme or the general federation by endeavoring to adl to it's membership the clubs composed of young women whose new ideas and progressive spirit will give the movement an impetus. In Phoe- Eix recently there was established the ideal club described by the National president. Its organizer, Miss Eugenie Glasscock. is it's president and the pretty eighteen year old presiding of ficer has written a special article for The Republican giving brief sketch of the organization.
 Miss Glsscock is the daughter of Mrs w. C. Cilasscock, a well known club woman particularly prominent in the rural clubs-the Ramona and the Orangewood Improvement. She has encouraged her daughters interest, but the general plan has been Miss Class cocks own. It was her idea to bring together the young folks of the neigh borhood to meet fortnightly for study and social advantages. Of this she speaks in her paper which follows:

Substitute Bill Is Aimed At
School Progress In Detroit

"A substitute for the Culver bill, pros
viding for a seven-man school board for
the city of Detroit, has been reported
out by the house committee on elections.
The substitute bill changes the meth
DDS Of electing school inspectors, speci-
flying that the common council shall d.
vide the city into seven nominating dis
tricts Of three wards each, this work TO
be completed by Jan. /, 1916.
Candidates from each Of the districts
would be nominated at the regular pri-
mary election in 1916, but would go on
the ballot at the election in November
without party designation and be voted
on by the city at large, the seven leaders
being declared elected
The idea of seven-man school board
to be ELECTED AT LARGE is to get
the department Of schools as far away
from ward or DISTRICT political infu-
ence as possible, which, very evidently,
is not the idea behind the substitute
measure.
IL the committee which is the author
Of the substitute is attempting TO com
promise this matter, it is attempting TO
compromise the standard Of Detroit's
future citizenship and is meddling in a
mighty important matter.
Detroit wants and has all but gained
small school board whose members
would not have to qualify in ward or dis
trio politics.
This substitute measure would leave
US as bad Oft as we have been, because
the real fight has always had to be made
in the nominating primaries and NOMI-
NATION AT LARGE, as well as election
at large, is the thing aimed at.

done for better school conditions here

III Cunningham Refuses to
Resign, He Should Be Made To

The resignation of State Railroad
Commissioner Cunningham is in order,
whether his plea for increased passenger
rates for the railroads was given out for
a news article or for an advertisement.
What difference does it make, as a
matter of fact?
Ii he hasn't the good grace to hand it
in, Gov. Ferris should demand it.
And the legislature should go ahead
and vote an investigation of this depart
ment and find out why it is so easy for
the corporations to get representation
from the commission and so hard for the
people to get it.
WHO is PAYING THE SALARIES
OF THE MEN WHO SIT ON THIS
BOARD?
II is recalled that this is the same COM
mission to which we appealed here in
Detroit for relief from poor telephone
service and the best we got was an opin-
ion from Chairman Lawton t. Hemans
that the people paying rent for phones
talked too much.
That appears to be exactly what one
Of its members has done in the present
case.
The matter of whether the roads are
entitled to an increased passenger rate
is neither here nor there in this instance.
A bigger issue is raised. and that issue
IS whether public servant whose SYM
pathies are shown to be with the very
corporations from which he is supposed
to protect the public, should be for an
instant retained in his job.
Ask him to resign, governor, and then
ask the legislature to go ahead and in
vestigate the state railway commission.
