lures to have the board in such cases
paid by the plaintiffs in the action by
which the people were detained. The
mayor replied to Mr.. Brown, saying that
the latter had not told all Of the law in
the cases cited and he stated why. He|
also said that Mr.. Brown had been of
his opinion at first but admitted AFTER
ward that he had changed his mind. Mr.
Brown denied that, he said he had
changed his mind adding that when|
aueried by the mayor he had said the|
payment of this class Of bills was al
debatable question and attempts to|
change the law had been made but were
unsuccessful.
Alderman Kieslich was Of the opin \
ion that Mr.. Brown had gone around
the question. Alderman Dwyer thought
there was principle involved which
was greater than the value OF a bill
The question was then taken up as ID
whether the bill should be paid, th4
mayors veto to the contrary notwithI

WANTS PUBLIC SCHOOL
EMPLOYMENT BUREAU
Principal Saunders Advises Establish
ment of System to Secure Work
for Graduates.

An employment bureau for public school
graduates is recommended in the annual
report OF J. NJ. Saunders. principal of
the street vocational school. Mr..
Saunders would have the bureau COM
posed of school officials and business
men.
THE average student. when he grad
yates from school. seems unable to find
himself. as il were. the report says
Among the several reasons for this Is
the fact that. during his entire school
career. he has depended upon the school
for aid. for advice. for suggestions. and
for real advancement. When he grad
yates he looks back with meekness and
longing for the support which he has
been getting. but which his graduation
cuts on.
Mr.. Sanders would have the bureau
make a study of employment conditions
and submit to school officials a report
of their investigation.
The report urges longer classroom
periods for students of vocational schools
and provision for them to work in the
school shops on Saturdays.
