WHY NOT CHANGEg

The advantages Of having a seven
member Board Of Public Education as
compared with the present 19-member
board. are SO obvious to all who have
made study Of school matters that il
should not be necessary at this hour
for newspapers and other channels Of
public opinion e harp upon this matter
constantly.
Yet the public at large has remained
apathetic to this question. The laissez-
faire system-just letting well enough"
alone seems TO appeal 70 the mass of
tax payers. who are 50 busy conducting
their private affairs that they have lit
tie time TO devote to analysis Of the
conditions Of their schools, supported by
their tax money.

"ESTABLISHED CHANNELS" :"

II is 20 be hoped that no Republican

reproach Secretary Of State Hughes for
drawing the veil Of secrecy around his
department and laying under the ban
newspapers that may rashy attempt to
penetrate its sacred mysteries The
days are past for that kind of carping
criticism. At President Harding's
prayer the country has put partisan
ship behind il and is entering upon
new era Of good feeling We must as
sumo that what deserved to be branded
as a vice in Democratic officials becomes
virtuous conduct IN Republicans not yet
