SIMON WOULD UNITY
SCHOOL AUTHORITY
Superintendent Needs More Power
Proposes Board Independent of
Commissioners.

Capitalization Of the power of op-
GRAFTON in the public school system
In the superintendent of schools, and
operation of the board of education
independent of the District Commits
sioners, was advocated by DIR. Abram
Simon, former president of the board
of education, at a luncheon of the
Wapiya Club at the University Club
vest erday.
How far should questions pertain
ing to education be vested in the
school superintendent, who is the ex-
pert in educational matters, and how
far should they lie vested with the
people, who only have secondhand
information in regard to educational
m3 tters?" he asked.
In a summary of the educational
system. DR.. Simon advocated that the
board of education consist Of as few
members as possible and as few
standing committees as possible. lie
said that. if possible, it would be bet
ter to get along without the latter
altogether.
The whole general operation of the
school system should be in the hand:
Of the board of education, he said,
and that they should make their own
estimates, have their own architect
and operate Independently of the
District Commissioners. He con-
dcmned the method of compiling
school estimates in the District
The Commissioners make school
estimates along with the estimates
for street repairs, sewers and other
things" he said. There should be
an entirely separate means OF esti
mating the school needs"
DR.. Simon advocated an educational
census, whereby the educational
needs and qualifications of all chill
dren between the ages of five and
eighteen might be ascertained. Such
a census would enable the authorities
to know just how many children
would be ready to enter the high
schools and other schools in each sue
ceedinS year, and this would enable
them to make preparations accord
ingly, he pointed out.

cases, with every meal. Kellogg s Bran
is made at Battle Creek and sold at all

VAIL STREET SAYS

So Far AS known Legality O
Practice Has Never Been
Questioned

NEW YORK, Oct. 15.-(B y The
Associated Press. Betting on the
result Of the Presidential election
has become recognized and es-
tsblished institution in Wall Strea-,

II will exceed all records.
Betting commissioners rercrt
that 100000 already has been
wagered on the result and that the
total probably win reach 10000
900 before election night. About
80 percent of the bets placed in
New York originate in the metro
politan area, the remainder being
scattered throughout the country.
lnasmuch as members of the vari-
Gus stock and commodity exchanges
are forbidden to place bets, the
bulk of the business is handled
through three or four "outsid .
houses" These firms do not Wag-
er their own money, but merely act
as Stockholders and bring the bet
tiers together, the charge for their
services being percent of the win
nings.
So far as is known, the legality
Of the practice never has been qucs
toned and no complaints have ever
been registered against these firms.
They require all clients to submit
cash, certified checks or money
orders with bets except in last min
ute transactions with firms o. in
dividuals that are well known to
them, when the business is usually
done over the telephone
