Ithaca-Judge Kelly s. Scarf of
Ithaca, sitting on the Wayne circuit
bench has established a system of
fines for himself and the jurors of his
court. The fine system went into eff
feet Thursday and the proceeds will
be used to buy cigars for all subject
to the fines.
George L. Cicotte, ST., and Robert
l.. Barclay were the two jurors tor be
fined for hardness, but the first per-
son to be fined was Judge Scarf him.
self, for he came late both, in the
morning and the afternoon, and thus
was obliged to contribute twice in one
day.
Judge Scarf put the fining system
in effect because some of the jurors
had a habit of coming in late. A
little box reposes on the desk of the
clerk, and in this the fines are drop
ped. One of the jurors presented the
Judge with a nickel as his fine. Six
Jurors have contributed to the cigar
fund since the inception of the plan.
Portland--Yie to the wishes of
his friends, who, at quiet little poll
teal "love feast" Tuesday night, urg-
ed him to remain in the race, Silas
ii. Pilkinton will be a candidate for
reelection as village president this
spring on printed slips, despite the
fact that his non-partisan ticket was
officially ruled off the ballot by
Judge F. d. M. Davis, of Ionia, in a
decision rendered Monday afternoon.
Friends of Mr.. Pilkinton feel posi-
tive of re-electing him. His enemies
are nevertheless equally optimistic in
the belief that the result will be quite
the contrary, but in any event it is a
fact that Mr.. Pilkinton has worried
the leaders Of both old parties by his
decision to remain in the fight to the
finish. The three-cornered contest will
undoubtedly precipiate the most spir-
tied campaign in Portland's history,
and interest in the outcome is intense.
The date Of the election is Monday,
March Is.

81 never allow my children to bring
tales home from school," the mother
of a pupil once told me. ~ expect
them to do as they are hidden and the
teacher will do the rest"
| No, dear mother, teacher cannot do
the rest unaided by you. She needs
your help, and all the help your child's
confidence can give you.
heard another mother declare:
"It's no use for Abel to bring books
home. I've forgotten all l ever knew,
and if / hadn't I've no time to help
him. Besides, think six hours of
school work enough for any boy or
girl below High School. If they and
the teacher make good use of school
hours, I'll risk any deficiency"
But that mother might have encour-
aged Abel to bring books home, if
only to follow his progress with pride,
leaf by leaf. She would not have
wasted any precious minutes talking
over the lessons while she made him
ready for bed. His interest, the vital
feature of school life, could have been
engaged for all time by her interested
sympathy in his little doings and ac-
Movements.
"Some say this is fine teacher we

and mind the teacher, and my husband
votes for as good a superintendent as
can be had. Ii our boys and girls

We do our duty by them. When
was young, my father and mother told
US il we got punished at school we'd
get more when we got home. John
and don't go as far as that, but we
do plan to let the proper authorities
look after educational matters"
Result: No sympathy between par
ent and teacher, child and school, per-
haps little between teacher and that
child and his home. The parent
knows nothing Of the child's school
life, and IL pernicious, it Is not remed-
led. Superintendents are not infall-
IDLE, nor teachers. The parents GER
tainly have duty. From The Peo-
