Court Ovarrules Demurrer to
Charge of Misrepresentation in

The F. Fl. Smith Company must

damages brought against it by Frank

tion with contract to sell him the

legged Misrepresentation made to the
purchaser by J. Eric Powell, one of
it's officers, with whom the negotia-
tions are said to have occurred. The
court allowed Attorney w. Gwynn
Gardiner, counsel for the company,
ten days in which to file the answer.
Attorneys Peelle G. Ogilby appeared

The streets and roads are crowded

a bottle unbalances the mind, and
man will ope the throttle, and

The expediency of establishing

at the weekly luncheon of the

operation.
The school, it was suggested.
would start with seven classes of
twenty-five each, and would teach
various trades to any desira BILE
young man. 1t is estimated that
$4,000 would be required to put the
school in operation. Claude Owens

PLAN FOR ELECTION
CHANGED BY N. E. A.
Open Nominations and Balloting
Expected to Provide I'm
proved System.

With the adoption of an amend
ment to its constitution with respect
to the election of officers, the National
Education Association, at it's final
business session yesterday afternoon,
took another step toward making it
self an organization of classroom
teachers, rather than high education
al authorities.
Beginning next year. the process of
electing officers will be as follows:
On the day after the convention
meets each state delegation in gen
eral session will publicly nominate
it's candidates. Three days later, these
nominees will be voted upon by every
delegate at established polls, which
the amendment specifies shall be open
from am. to s pm. Under this
system. the election of officers Will
be brought down to each individual
teacher Each state delegate repre-
with the largest delegation actually
expresses the wishes of the largest
number of teachers.
In this way, when an outstanding
educator is placed in nomination.
teachers can, through their delegates,
express their wishes.
The old system which passed into
history yesterday afternoon COM
prised the election of a nominating
committee by state delegations. each
deputation electing one member. The
committae, composed of more than
forty-eight members, selected the Of
ficers to be voted upon. Usually only
one candidate was reported out by
the committee and although the re-
port could be overturned it usually
was not.
There has been a feeling in the or
ganization that the former system of
electing officers did not truly reflect
the sentiment of the large portion of
teachers, as three or four states by
previous agreement could by COM
bine of their delegates on the COM
mittee, nominate candidate over un-
organized delegates from other states.
