MONEY IN PLANNING WISELY
Best Thoughts of Business Men Should
Be Employed for Important Bust
ness Of Laying Out Town.

1t is a curious thing that business
men who would not do so much as to
drive a nail into the wall of their Of
fee without first making sure that
there was no gas pipe or electric wire
hidden in the plaster at that point, will
drive ahead with schemes involving
heavy expenditure of public money
without asking themselves what rela-
tionship this has with other conditions
which exist or which will materialize
in the future. Looked at in this way,
town planning is merely common
sense, prudence, such as every man
who wishes to continue solvent must
employ in his own daily work.
For instance, extensions are being
made to the car route. Is it not better
to have a thoroughgoing t%own-plan-
ming scheme prepared so far as it re-
lates to the provision of car route f0-
cilities before making this one small
addition, so that we may be sure that,
as things develop, this addition may be
made in the right place to fall in with
larger schemes to be developed here
after? Or again, if we are building d
fire engine station, is it not better to
have the city parceled out into prop
erly balanced fire control districts, with
every existing and future fire engine
station shown in its proper relation to
the central headquarters, and in rela-
tionship TO new roads which must
some day materialize, but which are
at present unmade, so that we be sure
that we are placing it just at the point
where the engine will most easily
reach every part of the district it is
to serve?-Exchange.

ern convenience, don't you think2
Seymour, a southern Indiana city of about
1000 population, has a farmers club with a
membership of more than 1000. 1t has been in
operation since October, 1914, and is a thorough
success. During 1916 the average daily number
OF visitors to the club was about $50.
The existence of the club Is due-the plain truth
must be told-to the public spirit and generosity
of two business men of Seymour, and not to any
special enterprise on the part of either the farm
ers or the citizens of the town. The Blish BROTH
ers own a large flour mill and grain elevators.
They are grandchildren of Capt. Needy w.
Shields, founder of Seymour, himself a farmer of
energy and vision, whose fortune, it seems, was

had thought that the man who got

He did not say anything, however,
beyond an ordinary greeting. lie went
back into his room and sat down and
began to think about the unexpected
legacy of five hundred dollars which
Uncle Jim had left him. Frank earned
twenty dollars a week in IN office, and
he had always been Industrious, even
saving, until the money arrived.

to himself.
And he saw, in anticipation, the en-
joyment of Broadway, Of late suppers,
of shows, all those things that he had
Ilonged for all his life and never
dreamed of possessing.
He started the round that night,
having obtained q weeks leave of abb
sence, to come off his vacation. Bust
ness was slack, and Franks employer
offered no objection, though he had
no idea how Frank intended to spend
that time.
During the next two days the young
man lived in q whirl of excitement.
He had never lacked friends, and now
that he seemed to be flush they came
clustering round him like flies round
a honeypot. On the third morning he
awoke in his room with a splitting
headache. He looked at himself in
the glass and hardly recognized him
self. There was a bad taste In his
mouth, and he felt generally ~disgusted.
Worst of all, however, was the discov-
cry that he had just three hundred
and twelve dollars remaining.

SNYDER STANDS BY
MARRIED TEACHERS
(By Associated Press)


Sacramento. May 19.-The theory
that woman should be barred from
teaching in the public schools Of Cali
fornia after she marrIes is attacked
by DR.. Edwin r. Snyder, state COM
missioner of vocational education, in
an article in the latest issue of the
Bleu Bulletin issued by the State De-
partment of Education.
Efficiency and not marriage should
be the test of service, according to DR..
Snyder, who declares that "the auto
matte dismissal of the women teacher
when she contracts marriage has him
dered the establishment of more good
homes than it has saved from de-
struction."
"The conclusion that the married
teacher must necessarily neglect home
for school is an assumption rather
than a fact" says the commissioner.
There are many married women serv-
ing in the schools who also are main

is not part of the function of the
board of education to assume the pre-
negative of debating what the home
duties of a woman shall be, the article
holds. In so far as the appointment
Cf teachers is concerned, the board is
charged solely with securing the best
possible service for the schools.
Another argument commonly raised
against the married teacher says Sny-
Ger, is that because she has a hus-
band to support her the position should
go to an unmarried woman. To agree
with this, however, is 10 assume that
one principle controlling the selection
of teachers is that the school system
exists to provide opportunities. for
certain class of persons. The commits
sioner advances Numerous arguments
in favor of married women as teach
ers.
