LECTURE ON THE
EDUCATIONAL CODE

II has often been said that teach
ers take no interest in amy of the
enterprises of the community outsi ,e
of their schocl ro.'ms. Without argu-
ing the truth or falsity Of this state
ment, the teat hers might reto-t Wi h
equal truth that Ieople generally are
not interested in anything outside
the narrow centres of their own
business and especially are they not
interested in anything which affects
The life CT every family in the com-
munity so vitality as does the public
school.
Neither Of the above statements is
true absolutely yet that the latter
has much truth in it was fully demon
s.nated by the few people, outside
the teaching profession, present at
the meeting at the high school We'd
nesday night tc hear Or. F. l.. Clapp,
Of the Extensie n Department Of the
University Of Colorado, discuss the
proposed educational code now before
Or. Clapp is the author CT the code
and says he almost knows 1t by heart
Chis is easy to lelieve after you
have heard him talk about it for
about an hour.
Dr. Clapp said in part that the new
rode provides fer state beard of
education to be apptin by the gov
crnor and a county board Of eduoa-
tion TO he elected by the people of
the county living outside first and
setond class districts. The state
beard of education has fer one Of
rs duties the appointment Of state
commissitner CT education TO take
The place of the present elective
state superintendent and the county
toard of eduoat will have fer one
"a its duties the appointment of a
county superintendent. These two
changes require amendments to the
constitution.
pointive is one Of the points being
largely discussed. Dr. Clapp showed
how Colorado would only be keeping
abreast Of the progress for which
she is noted In SO many other lines
by doing this. In our attempt to bs
democratic We have failed to attain
efficiency. Over 100 large cities nov
have a city manager who is an ex
pert to whom IS entrusted practicall,
all executive powers and Of whom II
required results ia the way Of eff
ctent business management Cnl.
one city in the country, San Francis
CO. now elects by popular vote III

 Evidently this arrangement did not meet with the approval of the man. agement of Vitagraph. President All bert E. Smith of that organization ob- tained an injunction restraining his young star from working for any oth- CT person or corporation until she full fills her obligations under the contra ct in existence between here and her pres- ent employers.
 In fact, the restriction is one of the most sweeping ever stipulated in a similar injunction. Not only must Miss Stewart remain with the present organ ization until her contract expires, but she is further ordered not to make any announcement of her plans or to cir culate any press matter which may tend to injure here present employers until her term is ended
 And still further. any person asso- cated with her or employed by her, is also thus enjoined.
 The basis of this sweeping njunc- tion is the claim that Vitagraph spent q great deal of money advancing the interests of the star and demands ser vices in full
