new SCHOOL VOTING SYSTEM.
PROPOSED BY STATE LEGISd.ATOR
WOULD BE SIMILAR TO AU-
STRAI.IAN SYSTEM

"A bill providing for a new system
of voting in school district elections
has been introduced in the state lcgis-
lature by Representative Leonard and
is receiving the support of school
boards generally throughout the state
Under the proposed law system
practically the same as the Australian
ballot system, would be used.
Members of the Little Falls school
board have received copies of the pro-
posed bill, and they favor it, except
as to. the provision fixing the date,
which they believe should be left to
the boards to, decide at their annu al
meetings. This bill provides that the
meetings should be held on Saturday
and in most small towns this is bad
day on which to hold meeting.
Under the Leonard bill members of
the school boards would receive IS
cents for each meeting they attend,
this compensation to be in addition to
any pay they are receiving as school
board members.
Following is the substance of the
bill:
Section l. Any person desiring to
be candidate for school district Of
fee at the annual meeting Of such dis
trict may file with the clerk of such
district an application to be placed on
the ballot FOR such office or any five
(5) voters Of such district may file
such application for and on behalf of
any qualified voter in the district that
they desire shall be such candidate.
Such applications shall be fled not
more than thirty (30) nor less than
twelve (l2) days before the annual
school district meeting. The clerk of
the district in his notice Of the anni1-
al meeting shall state the names of the
candidates for whom applications have
been fled, failure to do so, however,
shall not affect the validity of the
election thereafter held. The clerk
shall prepare at the expense Of the dis
trict necessary ballots for the election
Of officers, nlacing thereon the names
Of the proposed candidates for such
office, and with a blank space after
such names, and such ballots shall be
substantially prepared as are ballots
for general election but without the
necessity Of having the ballots marked
or signed as official ballots.
Sec. 2. School boards in all school
districts Of this state shall hold month
~ meetings at designated school
house in such district or at some other
specified place on the third Saturday
Of each month at an hour to be select
ed therefor; such meeting shall be pub
lie and the general business of the
board shall be transacted thereat, but
special meetings may also be had as
now provided by. law. Each member
Of the school boards shall in addition
to other compensation, if any, received
by him, be pal.. by the district seven
ty-fve cents ($.75) for each monthly
meeting so attended.

CHURCHES TO HOLD
PATRIOTIC SERVICE
MEETING AT AUDITORIUM NEXT
SUNDAY EVENING
Object Will be to Quicken Patriotic
Sentiment and Plan Aid to
Government

Next Sunday evening the churches of
Clio will meet together at the Auditori-
um for the purpose holding a union
service which will have for its princi-
pal object the quickening of patriotic
sentiment and the planning of such aid
to the government as the community
may be able to furnish and the circum-
stances require.
1t is planned to have the choirs of the
two churches render musical selections
of an appropriate character and there
will also be selections by the Ladies'
Quartette and other musical features.
The pastors of the two churches will
will make addresses and it is possible
that other citizens will make short
talks. There is every prospect now that
American boys will be fighting on the
battlefelds of France within short
time and the need for patriotic interest
and cooperation is real and immediate.
The general public is not only invited
but urged to attend this service and it
hoped the attendance may be thorough
ly representative of the patriotic spirit
of the community Indeed. it is to be a
community affair, rather than church
affair.
