Adjustments Are Said to Be Under
Way Here.

Adjustments were said at the White
House yesterday to be in progress
looking toward American govern
ment representation on the interna-
tional court of justice. which was Gre
ated under the treaty of Versailles.
The only bar to American representa-

government of its own representa-
tive on the court, but 1t is felt this
feature is capable of satisfactory ne
gotiation.

1T would seem that the system

eight grades and four years of high

clared one prominent citizen today,
What we need is to have our scho-
lastic and athletic standing raised
to where 1T stood years ago. The
old system of eight years of grade
school and four years high school
was good enough then and 1t still
is. Why try another experiment?
Abolishing the eighth grade was
supposed TO be a great advance

Melvin Monnett. one Of the most
enthusiastic supporters of the Ham

voiced similar sentiments. The
crux of the whole situation is that
we need the eighth grade back in

schools have an advantage that we
cannot overcome in athletics"
The board of education is said
to have under a consideration a
plan to establish a junior high
school of three years to include the
seventh. eighth and ninth grades,
and to be followed by three-year

Much criticism has been directed
against this innovation. 1t is
argued that in an industrial COM

emit to encourage the boy to go to
work as soon as he has passed his
sixteenth birthday. If at that time
he is a sophomore in high school
the pride Of the pupil and the par

sermon you preached last night on
What attitude would our city take
toward the second coming of
Christ
You are reported TO have asked
the question: Would the mayor,
the city council. the leading bust
ness men and the citizens generally
give a welcome BETTING his com
ing? 1 fear it would be as cool as
their reception accorded the Chr
cago mayor on his recent visit.
ION that publicity has been given

erty of publicly asking the follow
ing questions Would you. as the
assumed mead of your church. ask
the city government to welcome a
representative of the saloon inter-
ests, the underworld and the man
who took the position the Chicago
mayor did during the world WARP
The city government has en-
deavored during the past four years
to discourage the coming to De-
troit of men of that type. and 1t
has used the entire force of the
law and the police department to
keep these characters out of De-
troit; but the impression goes out
from your church that we should
welcome them.
What would you suggest the city
council and the mayor do when
characters of tlrs kind come to
town.
DO you know the facts in con-
nection with the visit OF the Chi
cago mayor In Detroit?
do you know that he was
snubbed or are you talking with
out knowledge of the facts. as many
citizens do?
May 1 ask what you would do
different than the city government
has done, in its efforts at law en-
forcement?
Perhaps you have been mis-
quoted. II so 1 would like to be
informed and in the meantime
am making this public so that the
people may have the advantage of
your suggestions as to how we
should prepare for the second COM
ing of Christ.
