THE SAME NOTE

Evidently the great war has Jared
us loose from many traditional the
ories and practises We quote the
following from the Literary Digest
Of recent date:
The close Of the war has given an
opportunity for trying out various
much needed educational reforms. The
British Government is reorganizing
the British system from the primary
grades to the universities. The "mod-
eln school, movement launched by
ex-President Eliot and DR.. Flexner
has materialized in the practical anc
promising Lincoln School in New
York. The project for national
Congress.
A more novel departure from ira
ditional methods is "The New school
for Social Research" which will open
in New York in February. 1t is start
ling to read in the prospectus that
the number of regular students will
be small, perhaps not more than a
hundred. But when we read on we
see the reason fof this modest ex-
pectation. II seems the doors Of the
New School are not to open to all at
the sesame of so many units of Ian
guage, mathematics and science, duti-
fully acquired. No, the prospective
students Twill have to prove their
exceptional intelligence and special
interest in the work in hand. They
should show promise of becoming

LANCER: O, l think it would solve
the difficulty, all right, If you sub.

Hall: move that the attorney gen.
eral on behalf Of this board enter
into stipulation with the Consumers
United Stoes Co. for the purpose Of
submitting this question at issue to
the supreme court for adjudication.
LANCER: l suppose it would have to
90 through the district court first.
Paddock: presume So suggest
that if it is claimed that the COM
pany was violating the law the at
torney general bring an action in the
supreme court charging that TIE COM
pany was violating the law.
Halls Well, that would be a long
drawn out procedure.
Paddock: Yes, but the company is
willing to do anything possible. We
do feel that we have suffered consid-
erably from an order issuing from
this body which was given much pub
licity. And where there was moot
ed question we feel that we have suf-
fered, not exactly justly, through the
publicity that has been given and the
detrimental results from that pub
licity.

you stipulate. Send it up to me and
we will get it before the court pref

Ordered to Cease Selling Certificates
The conference was the latest de-
velopment in the attack started BY
LANCER on the store company last
month. In telegram from the Sec
retary Of state banking board the
company was ordered on March 20
to "cease at once to sell buyers GER
tificates."
Attorney Paddock replied by tele-
graph that the store was not selling
buyers certificates but was making
contracts with individuals.
At meeting on March "a the board
adopted resolution stating that Il
wished to meet the O oURcials Of the
store company for conference to
talk over plans for the reorgsniza-
ton of the company and for the bank
ing board to take over the manage
ment of the concerns affairs. The
company paid no attention to this
invitation except that Attorney Pad
dock wrote letter to the board ask
ing what was mean by it.
On March % the secretary Of the
banking board wrote letter to At
torney Paddock which contained .
cordial invitation" to meet with the
board and discuss the status Of tho
company with reference to the blue
sky law. 1t was in response to this
invitation that Mr.. Paddock met with
the board today.

contracts and the selling of contracts.
This company has never done any
thing but make contracts with indi-
viduals."
LANCER: Have you got one of those
contracts with you?
Paddock Produces Contract
Paddock: Yes, Here it is. Here is
one. The issue was not before the
supreme court in the Ignite Con.
sumers' Mining Co. with regards to
whether the contracts were sold or
not because the petitioned admitted
that he had sold buyers certificates.
The only question before the court
was, were such buyers certificates,
if so sold, within the provisions Of
the blue sky law, or not.
LANCER: Well, Mr.. Paddock, would
you have any objection stipulating
the facts you have mentioned to the
supreme court at the expense of the
state?
Paddock: The Consumers United
Stores Co. is perfectly willing to test
the question in the supreme court but
they are unable to test it until either
the attorney general, some states At
torney or this board takes action. We
are perfectly willing to stipulate that
we are entering into those contracts
with individuals. We are not dis
posed to violate any law. But we do
feel that we are entitled to a decision
of the supreme court upon q ques-
