These SIS pensions may come under fine sound ing captions such as Our mid winter recess" or other phrases intended to deceive our public. With the writer 1t seems to add to the already many opportunities for our teachers to sit at the moving picture houses and other entertainments at the expense of our citizens. Here they may ab- sorb new ideas about dramatics and fancy dancing to introduce in the youthful minds of our children. Why not give our children the fundament- als of an ordinary school education which will stand by them through life? The leading men of our city to- day have all had a common sense education, and this coupled with brains and initiative has brought them success when dramatics and dancing was not necessary.

A writer speaks of 'Debs' en- durance." He probably means in durance.
 In the case of woman 1t IS lntul- tion; in the case of man, it is d hunch.
 When money talks for the accused, it usually says it's say in short Sen- 'tence.
 Professor Whatmirc says the tax problem is d study in math. Sure thing-aftermath.
 When the devil was after Jobs goat, he thought of almost everything except a Congress.

The dance. and similar matters, may be changed with such gcntloncss that the dancers them selves wul scarcely notice. Other habits smiled at or gently or severely arc few violent supporters Of the things SO many criticize. There is a bit moro frunkncss of speech con corning matters formerly forbidden. but for the most part "deviltry" IS taken out in speech.
