BUSINESS SYSTEM
FOR CITY SCHOOLS
New Method of Handling Educr-
tion Finances Urged by Shcrmef
H. Stradlcy.

A new business system for management
OF the public schools is urged by Shermcr
Fl. Strad)cy, chairman Of the finance COM
mittee of tho Board Of Education. Mr.
Stradley believes the tangled finAnci al
condition Of the schools can be rcmcdicd
by certain changes in the present system.
The chairman Of the committee believes
that what the Board Of Education now
needs more than anything else, except
money, Is business manager and pur-
chasing agent in one. With this in view
MIR. Stradley suggests competent ac-
countant be @ mnloyed by the board To
install q new system, placing RESPONSE
bility upon the business head to see that
the system is properly carried out.
If the system were proper" said Mr..
Shermer, mo employee or committeeman
would bee permitted to buy materials or
supplies without the knowledge of q
business manager. under whose direction
the affairs of the board should be, and
the board would always know
the amount of their liabilities. 1t has beer
proven that bills have been contracted
without the knowledge of tho secretary
of the board, and that no appropriation
had been set aside for their payment.
bills should be rendered on the data
set by the board, approved by the city
auditor. and then delivered to the board
to be passed and paid promptly.
There is no doubt the Board OF Edu-
cation needs more funds for the mainte-
nance of the schools. II the board has the
proper information to present to City
Council, in NIL probability Council will
realize that the members Of the Board OF
Education are taking a business like at
titude toward the management Of the
schools"

SAVAGE HAS RED
BLOOD in VEINS
Civilized Man Lacks Exercise
and Air Organs Become
Weakened.

"Nine out of every ten people In most
communities like this suffer from nervous
ness, or from stomach and liver troubles,
kidney and intestinal ailments, imperfect
digestion, gastritis, headaches or lack of
ambition" said the Tanlac Man.
This is all due to our present faulty
methods of living, and is more prevalent
In civilized sections than IN the jungle,
because the savage loves outdoor exercise
and air. The civilized man eats rich food,
lives in stuffy houses and never walks
when he can ride. The result is that his
stomach fails in its duties; his kidneys
and other organs become clogyed with
waste matters, and he finally yields to
poisons generated within his own body"
