Election in October.

Judge Brent has granted
the petition of Attorney Ca
ton and others, and has or
dered a special election to
be held on October 4, next,
to determine whether or not
the city desires a change IN
it's form of government.
Should the vote be in the, az
firmative, then, an election
will be held in June, 1922, fol-
the election Of five council
men at large, who Will there
after form the legislative
and executive body Of the
municipality. Several years
ago Alexandria voted on the
city manager plan, which did
not carry solely because OF
the indifference of many of
it's friends and their neglect
to go to the polls.
This year, however, the
citizens are thoroughly alive
ito the importance of the
proposed change, and there
is every reason to believe
that it will receive a decided
majority.
The women are now a fac
tor, besides, and if indica-
tions are to be relied upon,
they are overwhelming in
favor of the city manager
plan for Alexandria.
We have before, in these
columns, expatiated on the
great superiority of the new
system of city management
over the old, in which a
mayor, common council Of
sixteen, and aldermanic
board of eight form an I'M
wieldly. irresponsible execu-
tive body.
The essence of the city
manager plan may be said
to consist Of its absolute
freedom from politics, So
called, and it's express power
of fixing responsibility on
one individual the city
manager. The latter is
chosen from any point in the
United States, and his eperi-
ence and record should be,
and generally are, the guild
ing features of his selection.
To Attorney James R. Ca
ton belongs the principal
credit for the interest taken
SO far in the proposed
change. We gladly accord to
him this honor, and COM
mend him as an example Of
what a public-spirited citi-
zen should be in his COM
n1unity. We have read with
much pleasure and profit an
Interesting little brochure
published by him on the oc-
casion of the last effort to
secure a change in the form
of city government IN Alex
andria. We may decide,
with his permission, to re-
print it in the Gazette for
the benefit of the electorate.
The new voters may not
have studied the question.
the women may wish further
enlightenment, and on the
whole we have no doubt it
will prove a welcome feature
to all Our readers.

UNCLE WIGGILY AND NE1LIE'S
PARTY.
By Howard B. CARTS

Uncle Wiggily came downstairs
In his hollow stump bungalow, all
dressed up in a red necktie.
"Where in the world are you
going?" asked Nurse Jane Fuzzy
Wuzzy, her paws all flour. as she
was making a turnip pie.
"Why, I'm going to Nellie Flip
tails party, of course" answered
the rabbit gentleman, with a twin
kle of his pink nose. Don't you
remember, promised the children
in the hollow stump school that l
would give q party for the little
sparrow girl and her brother
Dickie? They are just over the
feather fever"
ooh, that's SOL" exclaimed Nurse
Jane. IT must hurry and bake this
pie and I can take it to the party.
oh. what fun we'll have!" .
And every one did have fun at
Nellie's party. Uncle Wiggily made
all the plans. He had candy sent
in from the automobile garage; he
had cakes sent in from the black
smith shop. From the drug store
came lovely powders and pills,
pink, blue and green, to make well
those who became i'll, and ice
cream - great pals of it - came
from the hardware shop. So ev-
erything was sure to be nice.
Dickie and Nellie, their beaks
rather pale because of their Illness.
were all dressed UP on the after

AFTER THE WORKS. DONE.

When Aristotle long ago said that the right use
of leisure the chief end In education. he little
dreamed that in city this idea would be used
in support of plea for change in education.
In article in the current number Of one OF
our magazines the writer contends that the students
who go into business and industry through the
doors Of college training get only the technical
education required for their work. They get no
training in the right OF their leisure after the
routine work of the day. For the vast majority of
boys and girls college doors never open at all,
and only relatively small number finishes even
the high school. In age when most work is
done by machinery. when even good share of the
remainder is mechanical and routine 1t Is pointed
out. these children should be given training which
in later years would help them to make better use
of their leisure time.
Most parents and teachers will agree that this
suggestion is worthy OF consideration. We can i'll
afford to neglect the fact that what people make
of their leisure time is very important, both as a
matter Of social welfare and business efficiency.
While it is not proposed to restrict the individual
in his pleasures, the community should aim to make
these pleasures wholesome possible for the
individual and society
