USELESS LAWS ARE
TERMED Menace
BAR ASSOCIATION SAYS MANY
BILLS SHOULD NEVER GET
BEFORE LEGISLATURES

MlnneapOliS-(A P)-The Ameri-
can bar should give attention to the
appalling number of bills which be-
come laws during legislative ses-
sions Z" the committee on noteworthy
changes in statute law reported to the
American Bar association. The re-
port was presented by Joseph P
Chamberlain, chairman of the COM
mittee, who said:
Many of these acts should never
be brought before the legislatures,
but should be settled by the admins
trative departments interested, or
submitted to some form of court of
claims and finally passed there. The
act passed at the last session of con-
gress permitting the adjustments of
certain classes of claims against the
United States founded on tort, is a
step IN the direction of reducing the
number of private bills introduced in
congress.
An extension of the principle of
home rule would avoid much special
and local legislation, but it will have
to be accompanied by a willingness
Of the local authorities to accept re-
sponsibility. More courage on the
part of the legislature in refusing to
assume the duty which properly rests
on the local authority, and more
courage on the part of the local au-
thority in taking responsibility, to-
gether with a willingness on the part
of citizens to make their appeals from
the action or non-action of the local
governing body to the electorate and
not to the legislature, win Help be-
duce the size of the printed volume
of session laws"
Poor Litigants Not Neglected
The bar can no longer be charged
with neglecting the interest of poor
litigants. Reginal Heber Smith,
chairman of the committee on legal
aid work reported to the annual meet
ing of the American Bar association.
In the past year the number of
legal aid associations has increased,
until now there are 40 such organiza-
tions. Their purposes are to furnish
lawyers services to poor persons. In
1922 more than 125,000 persons re-
ceived such assistance. The legal aid
associations, and bar associations are
working together.
In the more populous states the
bar has recognized its responsibility
and in divers ways has rendered real
service" the report said illegal aid
workers hold the clear conviction that
the best guarantee for the mainten-
ance of legal aid work on its present
high plan will come from a tradition
that legal aid work is one Of the
most important concerns of every bar
association. This tradition has been
started. 1t is our task to foster and
encourage it."
The committee reported it hoped
during the ensuing year to draft
model which will help overcome the
battling problems to the poor man
growing out of the present system
Of court costs.

A CHAPTER ON EARS

Ears were created many years ago
along with the rest of the anatomy
Their primary prpose was to hear
just what one is supposed to and
nothing more.
Ears have always ben sadly mis-
used. OF course, it is very eonVen-
lent for one to have ears an to hear
everything one possibly can, but, on
the other hand, it is very conyen-
lent for other folks to follow the
same example, an dto hear every
thing that is said, and a great deal
that is not said at all The latter
usually comes home to roost with a
volley of wrath behind it.
Ears were certainly misplaced
when they were attached to teachers.
Many times we could avoid their eyes
and converse with our neighbors,
but their ears are sure to betray us;
consequently we are called up on the
carpet to answer for our misdemean-
or. Then with the aid of our ears
we hear in minute detail and in a
very short time just what they think.
Aats are very unbecoming pulled
down over ones ears, and when they
are not pulled down ears are deter
mined to get cold, therefore, in that
respect ears are a veritable nuisance.
When ears are out of fashion such
as they are in this day and age,
young aides find it difficult to over
come them, and they spend great
deal of time dressing their hair in
such way as to hide them.
Little boys have always been an
noyed by ears, because they are so
to teachers and angry
fathers, but after considering the
question pro and con, we have come
to the conclusion that most people |
are better satisfied with ears than
they would be without them.

by them. On the table is an array o.
doll clothes and mats which were
woven on looms.
Next in line is Mrs. Hergesheim-
er's display of the combined first
and second grade work, in a pretty
booth trimmed with green and white
streamers. At this booth one smiles
even though he may be in the worst
of humors, by the roguish grinning
faces of brownies on the posters and
pictures and reindeers, jack-o-lan-
terms and flowers all bring to the
mind the various seasons and holt
days of the year
Miss Mitchell, who teaches the
second grade, and Miss Bennett, who
has the third grade, present the
work of their classes in clever book
lets such as bunny and bluebird
spelling pads, gold and brown arfth-
metic books, and essay books about
George Washington adorned with
his silhouette.
Miss Millers work from the third
and fourth grades is neatly arranged
on green mountings and in green
booklets with darker shade of green
burlap as a background.
Miss Clicks fourth grade work is
striking in gray covers with yellow
tulips, painted by the pupils, pasted
on the outside.
The next booth was the results
of years study in Miss Riddles
fifth grade and the class colors, green
and gold, and class flower the jon
quill are cleverly worked up in the
A border of jOnquils
which were painted by the class was
at the top and pictures of jonquils
are arranged along the sides. Green
and yellow streamers are hung from
above and the examples of language,
spelling and arithmetic are bound in
green covers with flowers on the
'ronts.
Miss Turner's booth is gay in
green streamers and bluebirds sus-
'ended as tho flying, and large vases
llled with apple blossoms. Paint
ngs of dainty pink blossoms and
'luebirds give spring-like effect
o the whole.

top of the booth is a border of vines
with dainty white flowers painted on
lavendar paper.
A prominent feature of the eighth
grade section is the art work. There
is large number of paintings and
drawings, all of which are very good,
with a few that show truly remark
able talent.
Miss Carter cleverly carries out
by havin gthe pupils write articles
a color scheme of red, white and blue
on white paper in blue ink. These
are mounted on red. A row of
paintings along the top carry out
the ideas as they are of red car
nations and blue bachelor buttons
on red and blue back grounds.
The commercial department of the
high school under the supervision of
Mrs. Hays is of great interest to
most of us because it gives such
complete course that one can enter
the business world Immediately after
leaving school. The table is covered
with budgets in Shorthand, typewrit-
ing and bookkeeping, which have
been prepared throughout the school
year as part of the regular lessons
and the neatness and artistic sym
metry of the arrangement speaks
for itself.
The exhibit in general is exceed
ngly attractive and shows a great
leal of time and wok on the parts

he excellent spirit shown in its pre-

SPECIAL ISSUE EXHIBIT WEEK
THE SCHOOL EXHIBIT

The school exhibit for this yeal
is in the gymnasium and as there Is
plenty of room in which to work out
ideas far surpasses the exhibits OF
previous years held in the lower
halls. AS one enters the gymnasium
he Is dazzIed by gay colors artistical-
ly blended, with crepe paper stream
ers giving festive air to the whole
thing. Around the room booths are
arranged in which the work is hung
and before each booth is a table
where other work is displayed.
In the center of the room there
are some tables given over to the
penmanship and painting. The PEN
manship exhibit consists of pen
manship pages and budgets mounted
on gray paper on which the descrip-
ton of the work is very cleverly
printed in black One notable fea-
ture of this work is that Miss Clarke
had her pupils prepare samples at
the beginning OF the year and after
a years training had them write the
same work again. There is a
marked Improvement in the writing
of every one of these people and in
some cases the improvement shown
is truly remarkable.
Mrs. Wetherell's tables are covered
with the art work of the students
for the year, arranged in booklets,
as posters and as individual pic
lures, and proves to us that when
we really try most of us can accom-
plish more along this line than we
imagined.
The booths are all so pretty that
in telling about them one is at
loss to konw where to start, but as
the first grade work is on the left
hand side of the entrance we nat
urally turn to 1t first. In this de-
partment, decorated by Miss Acker-
man. there is a well arranged dis
play of the work done by the little
'olks. This includes sunbonet ba-
lies, chickens, bluebirds, bluebird
polling booklets, horses, ocolets, es-
limos. wax crayon pictures of flow
RS, cherries. etc, and posters made

GIRAFFES

The giraffe is high narrow ami
NAL found in circuses and delerium
tremens
1t has ten story neck and no use
for it. We often wonder why is a
giraffe's neck, anyway. The giraffe
probably wonders, too. It's so long
the poor thing could choke to death
at one end of the neck and never
know it at the other. And it keeps
his head so far from the ground that
every time he looks down he's afraid
he'll fall of.
But let's not hold the giraffe too
strictly to account for his neck.
He probably started out to be a
boa constructor and forgot about it.

head archer painfully in the air
His head is very large and conspic-

very little.
He struts around the school like
tyrant of old, and rules over the
freshmen with an iron hand
In his own opinion, he never has
been equalled and never can be but,
of course, opinions differ.
He has not been in high school
long enough to learn how little he
knows, but is perfectly aware of his
many accomplishments Che is the on
ly one who really knows his own
