School Policies.

School P0lIcIeS.
In reading the report of the annual
school meeting the taxpayer will note
that despite the opening of new and
large school the board has been able
to hold the operating expense budget
to a point about the same as last year.
The Herald believes the board is en-
titled to credit for its effort toward
economy without sacrificing the effic-
iency of the schools.
The manual training course has
been abandoned, for year at least,
because the operation of the course
failed to prove to the electors its val
ne. 1t is admitted that for some time
past the course has not been salts
factory. On the other hand the course
is valuable if properly administered
and for one the writer regrets its
abandonment. especially when we con-
slider the large amount of equipment
on hand which must be stored and the
fact that the new building has been
in part arranged for the course. A
better plan would be to carry on the
course in a manner which would con-
vince the public it was of service.
This would involve the employment
of an instructor of high type and
close supervision on the part of the
board and principal.
In the main and as taxpayer, the
writer believes it is entirely proper
that the people consider every angle
of cost from the standpoint of value
received We should, however, go
into a meeting with an open mind to
discuss and consider all things. An
attitude of blindly condemning and
casting out departments just because

people of all voice, all rights, touching

0LDEN TIMES RECALLED
BY INCREASE IN SWANS
Hopes Revived in England That
Birds May Regain Popularity
for Dinners.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, September IA recent
swan census" taken at Oxford, dis
closing that more than a thousand
swans live on the Thames between Ok
ford and Southwark Bridge, London
has brought to mind stories of medic
val days when the City of Oxford
was charged with keeping the King
swan preserves and has revived hopes
that the fat swan may be restored
to the place of honor at Oxford civic
dinners.
Under the Norman kings Oxford,
even then a populous town. was given
royal license to keep the game of
swans" on the upper Thames. Old
city records are full of payments made
to "swannyars," or keepers of the
swans, and to watermen. who brand
ed the birds on the beak with the
mark of the city. The branding was
known as ''swan-upping" and took
place each year just before the visit
of the royal swanherd. After the six
teenth century the City Council de-
cided to retire from the expensive and
worrysome business of swan farming
and leased the game of swans" to
burgesses for a rent of four fat birds
yearly, three to be paid against the
election dynner and thother against
the comying home of the mayor" The
birds decreased rapidly under this ar
rangement, but in recent years their
contribution to the beauty Of the river
has led to their protection and con-
SeQuent increase.

TOURISTS WEND WAY
TO ABERGELD CASTLE
Scottish Residence of Prince Of
Wales Becomes Special OBJ
ject of Interest
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON. September 12.-American
tourists have found another place of
interest to visit in Abergeld Castle.
the Prince Of Wales Scottish residence
near his fathers estate at Balmoral.
The particular object of curious in
terest is an unpretentious foot print
Of Wales in a concrete walk made
when the royal heir was years old.
The story is that for "a years the
existence of the boyish footprint was
known only to the prince and two
servants who were present when 1t
was made, but the secret became
known to American tourists last year.
Now this once quiet and almost de
serted estate Is said to be swarming
with sight-seers and the castle attend
ants are kept busy pointing out the
princes youthful pedal mark.
Abergeldie often was visited by the
prince and his parents before the
latter became King and Queen, and the
tale Is that the young prince one day
bounded across the turf and on to a
newly laid pavement before a nurse
and policemen could stop him.
Last year the policemen broke a
silence of nearly a quarter of a cen
tury and told the story to a visiting
American, and. according to an article
recently printed in the Daily Mail
with the not unusual exaggeration OF
news relating to the doings of Amer
lean tourists In England. from this
spark a torch was lit to be born across
the Atlantic. there to spread a flame
of gossip from State to State. And
now very few Americans go sight-see
ing in Scotland without inspecting the
princes footprint"
