FOR HIGH SCHOOL
Would Also Make School Supt.
An Appointment.

A law providing for the appoint
ment Of tho state superintendent OF
schools by the governor or board Of
education to take the place OF the
present system of electing the school
head was proposed at tho school
conference held Friday and Saturday
at Clarksburg. The convention en-
dorsed the appointment by the gov
ernor Or superintendent Of schools
Of school code commission to draft
a complete new code to present TO
he next legislature. The proposed
program Includes radical increase
IN the school appropriation. 1t Is
proposed to raise the amount from
$750O0O to not less than $1.00O.0O0
or more than $2.000.000. Other pro-
posed features are the abolition OF
the school book commission and the
selection of text books by the board
of education: the abolition Of III I'd
class teachers certificates and the
requirement Of high school eluca-
ton, with at least IL weeks Of nor
nal school training, for all teachers;
he adoption Of the county unit for
school taxation and administration.
rec text books and medical inspec-
ton for all pupils.
1t is said all the delegates agreed
that a substantial increase In she
school levy would be necessary to
properly maintain the rural educl-
tional institutions. It also is pred CT
ed that an increase in salaries OF
from IS to SIS a month would be
recommended.

STYLE ACCEPTED BY PUBLIC
There Seems to Be Not the Slightest

New York.--France puts hustle In
front of gown, and America puts il
In the back. Such is the interesting
struggle going on between designers.
Two men, one OF this continent and
one Of that, were responsible for the
1917 hustle, and it may be confidently
asserted that no woman designer had
a part in its creation or development,
1t took the public just six weeks
to level the fashion to the common.

acceptance that the style must be

No Return to FuIIness.
There Isl not the slightest idea Of
return to fullness in frocks or coats
There are two good reasons for this
announcements scarcity Of material
In certain quarters and the wish of
the various governments Of the world
for strict conservation, and also the
fact that we have been over-surfelted
with fullness in clothes and the very
sight Of such gown gives us a
sQueamish attack Of sartorial indiges-
ton. It Is almost unbearable today
to look upon a looped, panniered, be-
fr'lled or .behounced costume. We
wore hoopskirts, even though they
were disguised under the name of the
farthingale, until we felt ashamed tc
look at barrel, and it is not posi-.
Bile for either the French or the Amer
ican designers to compel us to turn
our attention to such clothes in the
Immediate future.
We want slimness, we look our very
best in slIrnness, and we are quite will
ing to wear less material than since
the Civil war, but we are tired Of tu.
mics. Our trouble is that we don't
want return to the small waist, we
win not have more material put into
DUE clothes and we insist upon a
straight line from armhole to hips, but
something must be done with our
skirts If our palate for clothes is to be
tickled any further.
