PATRIOTISM
Baliou Given Authority.
That the school board is gradually
granting more authority to Supt Ballou
was ev.nced when it empowered him to
| accept reSlsnations. grant leaves of alb
sence. make promotions and changes of
subordinates when necessary. The su-
perlntendent asked for this authority,
and. explained that it was for the pur-
pose of obviating the necessity of con-
venlng the board at more frequent in
tervals.
Upon the recommendation of Dr. Bal
| lou, the board decided to hold a series
of three public hearings on budget mat
ters IN the rooms of the board of edu-
cation at the Franklin School Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday nights. The
hearings will begin at o'clock and
continue until $50.
Teachers organizations will be af-
forded an opportunity to discuss sala-
| ries Monday night. The following night

laborers to discuss salaries. Wednes-
day night representatives of various
| civic associations will be given an OPP
portunity to be heard on school needs in
their respective localities.

Organizations and individuals will be
required to inform the secretary of the
board. Harry o. Hine. twenty-four hours
| in advance as to the names of the speak
ers in order that the time may be ap-
portioned equitably among them. In
view of the probability of the necessity
for limiting each speaker DR.. Ballou
suggested that brief in writing be filed
with the school board covering the facts
brought to the attention of that body in
| the hearing. together with statement
! of such other facts as the organization
