given to swell the carnival fund, took
place last night at the Keyser Audi

floor.

Socialist agitation, strikes and riots

months influenced the world, will be
potent to encourage the use of ex-

The MeddIer
IF the coat fits you. put Il on"

Some discussion of school meeting
prospects and possibilities has been
heard during the past week, aroused
perhaps by The Meddler s contributions
to the subject last Friday. A number
of persons have been heard to express
approval of the idea of naming man
of acknowledged executive ability to
take the place of the late Judge Mar
tin. There also seems to be a feeling
among voters of the district that a man
well versed in business affairs would
add greatly to the committee s eff
cheney although this feeling apparently
is not indicative of any dissatisfaction
with the present members. Another ar
gument advanced is that whoever is
chosen ought to be someone who has
children of his own in the public
schools, the ground for this claim be-
ing that such a man would have a per-
sonal interest in school affairs and CON
sequently would keep more closely in
touch with them than would be the case
otherwise. This seems reasonable
hypothesis and worthy of considera-
ton. Certainly parents of children in
the schools have the best reason in the
world for being interested in the work
of the schools.

ploy a superintendent at salary of
$4,000, but the net cost to the district
of such an executive would be no more
than is now paid to the supervisor of
grades, an Office that could easily be
merged with that of superintendent.
Great rejoicing would greet the an
nouncement of a bequest of $4,000,
the income of which was available for
school maintenance, and yet when one
stops to think of it such an income
would amount to no more than what
| the state would contribute if the dis
trict would only comply with the re-
quired conditions. Two thousand dol
lars year-it's equivalent to what a
three-cent tax would raise on the pres
