 That Mayor Wade is clearing the decks for action and in every way possible preparing for the coming Tray which revoIves around the pro- posed installation of the industrial arts course at the high school, is shown in his new appointments 10 the board of education.
 Plans for the proposed course were gotten under way and an in- structor, whose salary was included with the list of other teachers and approved by the city council. was engaged. Later when the schedule of necessary new equipment was brought before the council for ap- rroVal and appropriation. opposition 10 the whole plan developed as a substantial amount of money was involved. The mayor particularly has viewed the idea with disfavor and it is expected that he will lead the fight against the proposed in stallation. That he is an able tao tician Is shown by the preliminary disposal of his forces. Dudley s. 1ngraham, who was summarily dropped from the board of education at the council meeting, lis known to have favored the plan and would have allied himself with the members of the board favoring the course. The dropping of Mir h. graham was complete surprise to himself, the first intimation of the mayors contemplated action coming 10 him the night before the coun- ell meeting.
 On the other hand, A. s. Barnes the new appointee. has declared in no uncertain terms that he is dis tinctly not in favor of the propos- ton as outlined by the board of edu- cation. Clashes between the city council and the board of education over this matter have taken place on many occasions, the honors so far being with the board of education.
