"Didn't Pass Buck"
Finegdn to LelUis
Continued from rnge Ono

son. the Department Of Public Instrur-
tion was responsible for the delay in
paying the school moneys. 1t has been
n common affair for the fiscal depart
ments of the Government 10 advise you
that the warrants had not been received
or that the moneys had been paid on all
warrants which had been received.
''The statement was not made. how
ever, that the Department of Public
Instruction could not legally transmit
such warrants to tho Auditor General
until advised that sufficient money was
! In the Treasury available for their pay
uent. may be dull myself but I am
sure tho school directors have sufficient
Intelligence TO determine who has passed
the buck.
DR.. Finegan said "it further appears
from the press reports that Mr.. Lewis
charged the responsibility for the pres
cnt Jam In the State Treasury to the
education program sponsored by the
Department of Public instruction before
the General Assembly of 1921. - lie
denied the charges and said if he was
correctly Informed there were ''iams"
long before he was superintendent.
Commcnds Budget Proposal
After asserting the relations between
Mr.. Lewis and himself were most cor =
dial, he commended the Auditor Cen
, eral for his efforts to secure budget
system and urged passage Of resolutions
favoring budget system and fiscal
program which will mot only provide
for sufficient revenues 10 meet tho cxac,
financial obligations Of the State, but
which will provide for the payment OF
revenues paid into the Treasury on
| dates which will be adjusted TO the
periods when appropriations are pay
able
Declaring he accepted the invitation
| to become superintendent of public in
struction "on the understanding tha
| opportunity would be afforded to dc.
velop a school system which should be
second to the system of education II
no State in the country DR.. Finegar
said the whole general plan twas re-
peatedly outlined to the public

II am taking tiis subject up now
he added. because of the recent criti.

which You arc thoroughly familiar
There are. in substance, three criti'
Cisms:
First. That it Is tue purpose Of ,h'

METHODIST CHURCH NOTES.

We rejoice t. see extra interest
manifested, especially by increased
attendance 4, al services last Sun
day. There was an increase of TWEEN
ty-hve in the Sunday School over
the attendance the Sunday before.
We don't mean to be telling any
tales cot 0f school, but is it any
wonder ole would make a mistake
about certain person who was in
last Sunday nights audience, when
she WaS a twin sister OF the woman
she was taken for. and the one we
took for her was a regular attend
ant at the Sunday evening services,
until she moved away?
There will be no preaching serv-
ices the 26th, as our Annual Con-
ference will be in session then.
As these are our last "Note3" for
this conference year, and by the way
no one ever knows what a Method
ist conference is going to do, we
want to thank the editors and all
others for their kindnesses, and esp
ecially those who have so Loyalty
stood by US in our fight for New
Testament Christianity, and all who
have in any way whatsoever contri-
outed to the success that our dear
Lord has given.
Remember all services at regular
hours next Sunday, Nov. 10Th, and
Sunday School at 9:45 each Sunday
