SCHOOL IN SUMMER,

Mothers Of the Central Junior High School" have asked the board of education to protect the health Of our children by adopting the eight weeks schedule and closing the schools of our city next year not later than June lb,"
 If it is possible for the Board Of Education 10 grant such request with out making it difficult to observe the requirements of the state, il should be granted. The mothers, better than anyone else know the effect of school upon their children, Moreover the mothers are more anxious than any one else, except possibly the fathers, to have their children learn all that 1t is possible for them to learn. If the extended school term would accom- plish good, the mothers would favor it-and, be it repeated, the mothers know. For the mothers see constant ly the effect of study and confinement upon the bodies of the children as well as the effect upon their minds.
 Nothing can take the place of edu- cation. It is more and more neees- sary Its value is being appreciated more and more But there is a point when trying 10 add more knowledge to a pupils stock of information ac- couplishes the reverse-it is iniur- ious, One might go farther than the mothers Of the Central Junior High school have gone, and suggest that it would be well for the state to shorten the summer term still more.
 It is to be hoped the Board of Edu- cation will see it's way clear to grant ing this request made by the greatest child experts in the country-the mothers.

THE PRESIDENTS GOLF

It is not a waste of tina to specu- late upon and study the real character of president of the United States. And real character may often be in licatcd by the way q man conducts himself when, from the nature of the activity he is compelled to be abso- lately natural.
 President Harding is fond of golf. Beirg anxious to play well it is cer- t1tn he plays naturally; he is himself while playing; he discloses his true nature modified by attempts to make use of the proper form" which has been found to be elfectiv, for good playing
 One would think, i'ldinS from his manner of conducting himself in poli- tics, that President Harding would be a most conservative player. His drives - the longest shots in tho game would not have a great deal of force he hind them. He might be inclined to pull" his stroke, He would use a cliqu in preference to a brassy, the latter being the club capa ble of great. CT brilliancy and distance.

RESPECTED OPPONENTS.

It is often said, among men who have done manual labor that just as soon as one of their number begins to show personal strength the company which employs him, such as rail- road company for instance. begins to watch that man. When he gains following and becomes leader of men the employing company advances him, little by little perhaps, but final ly placing him in a position where his viewpoint becomes that of the enl- pioyer, not the workman
 All this may be perfectly proper. The man has worked himself up," it may be said. The company recog- nizes his brains and strength. But nevertheless the feeling among the workmen remains that his ability to gain benefits for the men and to handicap the company have brought him preferment rather than his abil- ity to be of use to the company in his line. The employer kills two birds with one stone, in other words; it re- moves a thorn in it's own side and makes use of the thorn and the thorn's sharpness for it's own pur- poses.
 In the days of the late Richard Croker 1t was said in New York that all a man had to do to be recognized and favored by Tammany Hall was to lead a successful fight against il in some activity within the demo- cratic party in New York. Croker disposed of the troublesome person by placing him in a position of conf- dence; he turned a liability into an asset f
 Probably there is suggestion of this feeling back of the action of the Republican Senatorial Campaign com mittee, headed by Senator Mccormick. in coming forward and asserting the 'regularity of Senatorial candidate Brookhart in Iowa. He will have the support of the regular" organization, whatever that may mean in referring to the support Of this committee which is not noted for it's energy. Prob ably, also, there is the desire to make the best of a bad situation.
 If the great parties adopt the habit attributed to the employer company, and to the late Richard Croker when he was in power in Tarnmany Hall, the paths of the independent candi- dates for office may be made easier and the formerly formidable ma chine com mittee" may be driven into . smiling acauiescence in the inde- pendence which is so to be desired except by the said machines"

No Loopholes
In Bond OF
Howard Smith

City Auditor Bernard Heating to-
day forwarded a copy of his report
read at Mondays meeting of the
Common Council on the Smith case to
the Mass. Bonding Co., and informed
the company in a separate letter that
the books of the former tax collector
who is still among the missing with
$4,000 of the city's money, are open
for investigation and searching.
Mr.. Heating did not ask a settle
ment from the bonding company.
This matter has been placed in the
hands of City Attorney John A. Cor
nell. Jr, who has filed writs in the
Superior court. It is believed that
when a judgment in favor of the city
is rendered in this case the city attor-
ney will make formal demands on
the bending company.
There were no loopho1es in the
contract made by the company when
they bonded Smith," Auditor Heating
stated today. The contract states that
the company is made responsible for
any shortages or Irregularities made
during Smiths term of office. Mr..
Heating said that he did not believe
that legal action would be instituted
by the company, but if they did decide
to fight the case judgment would
not be rendered until almost fall. The
bond under which Smith worked is
$40, 900.
