NOTES FROM THE COUNTY SUPT.
OF SCHOOLS

Dr. Jones lectured to us during in
stitute week on the Fright and Left
Handed Child" He explained in a
scientific and very simple manner how
it might be determined whether or not
a child was right or left-handed.
Since then we have studied the subject
further and last week received a
brachiometer from DR.. Jones. This
instrument enables us to take simple
measurements and determine whether
or not one was, born right or left-hand-
ed, which is a very important thing
to know before starting to learn to

teacher or parent in determining right
or left handedness of children when in
doubt.
After the Christmas vacation de-
termined effort will be made to get
every child of school age 90 to 16)
into school. Teachers and members
of school boards are supposed to re-
port absentees to the superintendent
or the states attorney. We ask for
the united effort Of all in this matter.
The next regular quarterly meeting
of all the school boards will be held
January 9th, 1917. Any one having
matters that should be taken up with
the school boards should make note
of the date and attend the meeting of
| the board.
Many teachers are raising funds for
THE purchase of books and supplies. I
would suggest that portion of the
money be used to buy a copy of some
good picture suitably framed. These

MARX CROWS

Mayor Issues Statement Deny.
ing Police Are MOlesting
Connolly Forces

Mayor Marx added irony to his
campaign ammunition, Saturday
morning, when he made public Dit
ing statement regarding Judge Con
nolly's charges that the Marx forces
are using the police power to intimi-
date Connolly supporters.
The statement purports to be a
denial Of the charges and an ex-
PLANTATION that such Connolly men as
have been arrested have been guilty
of violations OF the law and were
not molested because they were Con
molly men. The mayor, however,
offers no explanation for the charge
that taxicab drivers on Monroe-ave.
were required to remove Connolly
signs from their cars. He mentions
the charge but passes over it to say;
IL tender to the judge my apology
for the offenses committed and as
sure him that in the future offenders
against the law will be immune from
arrest provided they are wrapped In
the protecting folds of Connolly for
Mayor banners"
Most attention is devoted 10 the
arrest Of Robert Marsh In the resi-
dence Of David A. Brown, No. 9s
Lawrence-ave The statement points
out that Marsh found to possess
Connolly publicity material, a mem
bership card in the Connolly-for-
Mayor club and letter OF introduc-
tion from Judge Connolly to De-
troit motor car concern, as we'll as
81 900 worth OF jewelry belonging to
Brown.
II do not want the recorder TO feel
that Marsh was inundated because
he was a Connolly man." says the
mayor. He was apprehended be-
cause Mr.. Brown notified the police
that a prcwler had entered his resi-
dence."
