School Commissioners
Notes
Notes
May L. Stewart. Commissioner

The commissioner had the privilege
OF visiting a number of the grade
teachers in the East Jordan City Schools
on Washingtons birthday, which the
superintendent had declared public
visiting day. Some of the work exhibit
ed at that time showed the results of
teaching which could best be described
as Cracker jack" work. On another
occasion of this kind it would pay every
parent in the city to turn out but why
wait for any special day?

So many times complaints reach the
office against the ventilating systems
and so many times the commissioner
has suggested that the chimney may be
to blame, that it might not be correctly
installed, that some of the dampers
might be defective, or that very likely
it was not being handled correctly.
Naturally then il was big relief to re.
ceive the following letter last week
from Earnest Peaslee of the Hopyard
school, and to remember while reading
it that the school house has a large
bank Of windows exposed to the full
sweep Of the lake winds that sometimes
threaten to blow away the entire hill on
which the school house is located. He
has named it Battle with Jack Frost
"The morning Of Feb. IL found the
mercury standing at 20 degrees below
zero, F., but when the first bell rang at
$3.50 a. m, the mercury stood at 81 de.
grees below zero, in the corner OF the
room farthest from the heater which is
in one corner.
When the children arrived they found
a warm room and when the last bell
rang at 800 a. m. all the pupils took
their seats in comfort. Of course no
one was tardy under such conditions.
This was possible because Of the
circulation Of air provided by the
ventilating system. II should be an
object lesson to those districts which
still cling to the old stove in the center
of the room, trying to heat dead air
while the children hover around the
stove. BY the way, how many realize
that live moving air can be heated more
easily and quickly than dead air and II
is much more healthful than dead poison
air for the children? We don't have
to buy it but just let it in and warm it
as it comes in"

CHAPTER XVII.

Winter relaxed its clutch slowly that
year. March was bitterly cold; even
April found the roads still frozen and
the hedgerows clustered with ice. But
at midday there was spring In the air.
In the courtyard of the hospital, con-
valescents sat on the benches and
watched for robins. The fountain,
which had frozen out, was being re-
paired. Here and there on ward win
dow sills tulips opened their gaudy
petals to the sun.
Harriet had gone abroad for flying
trip in March, and came back laden
with new ideas, model gowns, and
fresh enthusiasm. Grace Irving, hav-
ing made good during the white sales,
had been sent to the spring cottons.
She began to walk with her head high
er. The day she sold Sidney material
for a simple white gown, she was very
happy. On Sidney, on K, and on
Christine the winter had left its mark
heavily. Christine, readjusting her
life to new conditions, was graver.
more thoughtful. She was alone most
of the time now. Under KS guidance,
she had given up the Duchess" and
was reading real books. She was
thinking real thoughts, too, for the
first time in her life.
Sidney, as tender as ever, had lost
a little Of the radiance from her eyes !;
her voice had deepened. Where she
had been a pretty girl, she was now
lovely. She was back in the hospital
again, this time in the children's ward.
X, going in one day to take Johnny
Rosenfeld a basket of fruit, saw her
there with a child in her arms, and q
light in her eyes that he had never
seen before. 1t hurt him, rather
things being as they were with him.
When he came out he looked straight
ahead. 1HI
X. had fallen into the habit, after
his long walks. of dropping into Chris
tines little parlor for chat before he
went upstairs. Those early spring
days found Harriet Kennedy busy late
in the evenings, and, save for Christine
and f.. the house was practically de-
serted.
The breach between Palmer and
Christine was steadily widening. She
was too proud to ask him to spend
more Of his evenings with her. On
those occasions when he vd.untarily

him.
"You have done me a lot of good.
You almost make me believe in my
self"
That's because I believe in you"
With Q quick movement that was
one Of her charms. Sidney suddenly
closed the door and slipped back into
the room. r., hearing the door close,
thought she had gone, and dropped
heavily into q chair. w
'My best friend in all the world ~
said Sidney suddenly from behind him.
and. bending over, she kissed him on
the cheek.
The next instant the door had closed
such wretchedness and bliss as the
evening brought him.
Joe Drummond came to see Sidney
the next day. She would have avoid
ed him IL she could, but Mimi had
ushered him up to the sewing-room
boudoir before she had time to es-
cape. She had not seen the boy for
two months. and the change Id him
startled her. He was thinner. rather
hectic, scrupulously well dressed.
"Why, Joer' she said, and then :
"Won't you sit DOWN.
He was still rather theatrical. He
dramatized himself. as he had that

Just inside the doorway. He offered
no conventional greeting whatever i;
but, after surveying her briefly, her
black gown, the lines around her eyes {:

Of course?"

He stared ut her incredulously.
"You don't mean that you are going
to stand for this sort of thing? Every
time some fool makes mistake, are
they going to blame it on youT"
"Please don't be theatrical. Come
in and sit down. I can't talk to you If
you explode like rocket all the
time" ..-,. s......
Her matter-of-fact tone had its eff
feet. He advanced into the room, but
he still scorned q chair.
Il guess you've been wondering why
you haven't heard from me-" he said.
'I've seen you more than you've seen
me-"
Sidney looked uneasy. The idea of
espionage is always repugnant, and to
have rejected lover always in the
offing, as it were, was disconcerting.

tated. This wild. excited boy was not
the doggedly faithful youth she had
always known. 1t seemed to her that
underneath his quiet manner and care
fully-repressed voice there lurked
something irrational, something she
could not cope with. She looked up at
him helplessly.
"But what do you want me to do I
You-you almost frighten me-"

Absolutely"

Sidney was thoroughly angry by this
time, angry and reckless. She had
come through so much that every
nerve was crying in passionate pro.
test.
'If 1t will make you understand
things any better" she cried, II am
going back for both reasons!"
She was sorry the next moment. But
her words seemed. surprisingly enough,
to steady him. For the first time. he
sat down.
"Then. as far as am concerned
it's all over, is it7"
"Yes, Joe. I told you that long
ago."
He seemed hardly to be listening
His thoughts had ranged far ahead
Suddenly
"You think Christine has her hands

have more trouble than Christine ever

about him now that will make you

But Sidney had reached her limit
She went over and flung open the
door.

He was very white, but he picked

He left her standing there and ran
down the stairs and out into the
street. At the foot of the steps he
almost collided with Doctor Ed.
Back to see Sidney7 said Doctor
Ed genially. "That's fine, Joe. I'm

The boy went blindly down the
street.

NO PARTY NOMINATIONS

The supreme court has decided that in this election
there shall be no party nominations. Nominations are
TO be by petition only. A man may bes nominated as a
Republican candidate, as a Democratic candidate, or as
candidate of no party; but he cannot be nominated as
the Republican or the Democratic candidate.
The supreme court having madeethe ruling, that is
the law. All persons must be governed by 1t. At this
writing the detailed opinion of the .court has not been
hled, hence 1t is not known whethersthe court holds that
party nominations cannot under amy circumstances be
made for special elections or that circumstances peculiar
to this case make party nominationsefor this election i'm
proper.
II the former Is the case, and the law permits no
party nominations to be made for special elections, 1t
places a special election on a different basis from that
Of any other election. The whole purpose of our general
election has been to preserve the integrity of political
parties, to make the selection Of party candidates simple,
easy and direct, and to afford to the individual members
Of each party the fullest possible opportunity to act on
such nominations.
If that is the law, a political party may, at a regu-
lar election, present for the approval of all the voters q

of the purposes and ideals Of that party. But If the
election is called as this one has been at a special time,
because of an unexpected emergency, the political party

can be removed only by a revision which will either pro-
vide for party action at special elections or prohibit 1t

A LANCER BLUNDER

Because Attorney General LANCER undertook to make
his Office a cog in the Towney political machine, and
furnished the unsound advice on which the illegal action
of the governor was based, the state Is likely to retain
for the next two years or thereabouts the services of
two very capable members Of the board Of regents, and
the political combination Of which the governor of the
state consented to act as the agent, in grasping at the
shadow Of an entire board named by the combination
lost the substance in the form Of the naming of two
members who might have taken Office at this time.
The terms of Emil Scow and J. A. Power as regents
expire July /, but as regents hold office Until theip sue
cessors are appointed and qualified, and as these two
mem berS have been advised that no persons have been
legally appointed to succeed them, they have announced
their intention Of retaining their seats.
The public has never been informed as to Just who
is responsible for the biunder which was made last win
ter. Whether the governor. having need in his business
for a few places Of which to dispose, told the attorney
general what sort Of decision was wanted, and the at
torney-general produced a decision according to spectf-
cations: whether Mr.. LANCER actually did not know what
was the law as applied to that situation; or whether.
as in another memorable case, he didn't care, and as
sumed that it was his business to make the law as he
went along; whatever were the steps by which the board
of regents decision was reached, the governor was
wrongly advised that the board of regents had not been
legally appointed, and the governor, with the most amaz-
ing discourtesy, hluntly told the gentlemen who had sup
posed that they were regents to pack up and get out.
Five other mon were named as regents. They were not
confirmed, the senate not approving this abrupt manner
Of deciding intricate legal questions and disposing of
officials by wholesale. The new appointees organized
AZ q board of regents, but the old members, objecting
to the summary manner in which 1t was proposed to
kick them out, declined to surrender. The governor
sought to GUST them through legal procedure, and failed
dismally.
If the governor had known, or cared what the law
was. or II he had had available an attorney general who
could and would tell him, he would not have sought to
create a new board, but would have nominated two men
to succeed the two whose terms would expire at this
time. Those nominations would have been confirmed
as others legally made were confirmed, and the governor
would now have had on the board two men OF his choice
instead Of none.

THE PYRAMID IN WAR

In an interesting review Of the battle of the Somme
the English author apty compares the units of an army
40 a series Of pyramids. at the apex Of which is the man
at the front, while behind him is the great body of the
pyramid broadening out and reaching far to the rear,
but every part of it necessary to the maintenance Of that
single soldier who, in his own person, brings to bear the
force Of the structure on the enemy. The pamphlet de-
scribes in addition to the men actually on the fighting
line, the vast body which supports him. There are the
hospitals and dressing stations, the transport depots and
repair shops, the daily trains to railheads, the supply
columns, the hand carts to carry ammunition to the fir
ing line, and so on. And, while the pamphlet deals only
with the purely military features Of the case, the par
allel holds good If extended, for back of all those who
are engaged in the field or near it in supporting the man
at the front there Is the great body Of the people of his
country, all of whom must be engaged in some useful
way in providing the means wherewith his work is to be
made effective.
War today more than in any other age is a matter
that involves whole peoples, and Americans are coming
rather tardily into a realization Of the fact that all
Americans may and must participate personally in this
war by making some contribution, each according to his
ability and his opportunity, to the success of the nation
in the great struggle in which 1t is engaged.
