The Board received reply TO it's
request to City Council for informa-
ton concerning the rights of the City
of Beverly in the Farnum School as
follows:
Mr.. Clarence L. Hazard,
Beverly, N j.
Dear Sir:
Your letter of September 18th, adj
dressed to the Common Council of
the City of Beverly asking them to
ascertain what rights, if any, the City
of Beverly has in the Farnum School
Building, was handed to me for reply.
This subject has been under dis
cussion number of times by the
City Council and some months ago
gave the matter a great deal OF con-
sideration. At that time l arrived at
the conclusion that neither the City
of Beverly nor the Board of Educa-
ton of the City of Beverly, had any
rights whatsoever that it may enforce
against the Farnum School property.
The will of the donor of this school
building provided that in the event
of its not being used for school pur-
poses, the property should revert to
his heirs The actual control and
management of the property is vested
in the Board of Trustees appointed
by the Governor of the State. do
not see how any agency of the City
of Beverly can have any interest in
this property.
Very truly yours,
V. CLAUDE PALMER.
The matter was laid on the table
for further consideration.
The Board then adjourned.

THE NEW CALENDAR

calendar with Is months in it might be expect
ed to be unucky. And sure enough the calendar
proposed by the League of Nations after urging from
various quarters of the world unlucky. But only
this extent-that lazy-mnded world, content with
existing institutions usually objects to what is good
for it.
The metric system, incomparaby superior to other
forms of counting and measuring used in the world,
and especially superior to English and American
systems of weights and measures, had made little

awkward calendar adopted by Julius Caesar for the
Roman Empire nearly 1000 years ago, calendar with
months of varying length and weeks not evenly dvis
ble into either months years.
The proposed calendar, worked out by interna-
stona scientists, would provide 13 months of exactly
four weeks each. Thus there would never be any
doubt about when pay day came-or any other day. A
particular day of the month would be the day of
the week in every month Business reckoning interest
figuring ETC., would be simplified.
The 13 months would make 364 days. The regular
day left would be New Year Day, not belonging any
week but inserted extra beween the old year and
the new: Leap Year Day would come likewise
cipher in the calendar in the middle of the year. The
month, called "Sol." would stand between June
and July.
Yes, it sounds ridiculous the first time you think
of it. But the idea grows.

TRAVELLING LIGHT

sgUnless a stern director limits beforehand just
what is permitted luggage, the average person on
his first camping trip usually overloads He carries
more clothes and accessories than he needs or uses
The experienced camper travels light, but has all the
essentials -,
The person who must stick to his job through the
favorite vacation months often overoads himself with
food and clothing and activities far beyond summer es
sentials. Simplifcation and elimination should be his
quite as much as they are of camper and

Very important in the enjoyment of summer is the
sloughing off of fussness and worries and the adop-
tion of whoe-hearted cooperation with the weather.

"Get up! Get up. Everybody get

everybody up!'
At first no one answered. Then
some sleepy yawnS were heard and
finally Weezie, a fttle rabbit girl,
called down the stairs:
"Oh, Daddycums! guess YOU

New Law Demands That Auto
Drivers, In Some Cases, Must
Submit to an Examination

One of the most important acts of
the last legislature was the enact
ment of Il new statute governing
the examination of motor vehicle
operators. The existing motor We
hiclc act was amended so that af.
ter July "a, operators or applicants
for operators licenses may, IN Ger.

The experience of several east.

To 70 per cent of those who apply
for lbeenses 10 operate motor ve-
hieles are not qualified to do SO,
and their applications are rejected.
1t has been claimed that accidents
were reduced 80 per cent through
examination of drivers. 1t is he'd
by proponents OF the measure that
IL IL is true that one fourth of the
operators cause one half of the mo-
tor vehicle accidents, it is the duty
of the authorities 70 ascertain what
drivers constitute the one fourth.
The new law provides that those
who apply for a license after July
"a must answer certain questions,
which are designed 10 reveal whcth-
er or not the applicant IS physically
and mentally mt to operate "a mo
tor vehicle and to understand high
way warning and direction signs.
Temporary Permits

THE SPIRIT OF WONDER

o.. Padraic Colum writing about Lord Dunsany, the
writer of strange tales and DRAMA says that if anyone
should ask such one as Dunsany what he had done
for his ellowmen he could answer Il have kept alive
their spirit of wonder, and wonder in is holy"
1t is mission quite different in its method from
those which aimed at mans moral regeneration or
social reform physical well-beng. And there are
many practical persons who will regard keeping alive
the spirit OF wonder as the last word in foolshness
The spirit of wonder is of childhoods great
est charms, and it is child trait which is carried into
maturity only by the spiritually fortunate and blessed.
