mittee from the Chamber of Com
merce of the United States in order
to devise better cooperation be-
tween the civic organizations and
the schools to make for better citi-
zens. He reported a visit from the
state inspector of manual training
who recommended that new vises,
saws. planes and other tools be fur
nished.
The superintendent stated he had
figured out the cost of teaching the
out-of-town pupils and found that
~Sayrevihe was not paying sufficient
money per pupil. He recommended
that the charges in h future be as
follows: Ninth, tenth. eleventh and
twelfth a pupils. 800 per pupil:
seventh and eighth years. SIS per
year, and pupils in the first to sixth
grades at the rate of s65 each. In
this recommendation Mr.. Rue stated

the recommendation of the board

Tonight at the Barron Ave.
School, Decrease Figures

FORDS. Feb. There will be a
public hearing on the budget for the
township for the present year to-
night in the Board of Education
room of the Barron avenue high
school at $3.50 o'clock.
There is a decrease in the budget
OF $4,000 this year. which is being
cut from the appropriation on re-
pairing roads. Last year S55.0O0
was spent on roads of the township
and of this amount this place re-
ceived its share. Part of the differ
enc saved this year will be taken
up by the $4,000 not collected from
the state. on account of a law being
found faulty. This law stated that
the state was to give the township
$4,000 for the use on roads.
There is also an increase in fran
chise taxes. gross receipts taxes of
$500, which r taxes against
public utilities. interest on taxes in
rrear and recorders fines. These
items help to decrease the sum to
be paid by the taxpayer of the town

drama of human passions in which
Mr.. Farnum, appearing in a difficult
characterization. gives one of the
most remarkable portrayals of his
career.
The picture appeals to all of the
emotions. There are moments when
you will find yourself balancing on
the end of your seat. tense with ex-
element; there are moments of
pathos when your eyes will be damp;
there are many laughs and situa-
tons that will make your wrath rise.
