SCHOOLS UNLIKELY
TO Be CROWDED
Year Will Probably Be Lean
One, BaIIou Declares,
Working on Report.

Early indications are that there will
be little, If any, overcrowding in the
public schools this year, it was re-
vealed today at the Franklin School
by DIR. Frank w. Ballou, superin-
tendent.
Relying on reports made by Asst.
Supts. Stephen E. Kramer and Robert
L. Haycock, DIR. BalIou stated that if
past records are taken as criterion
the coming school year will be a
lean" one rather than a peak" one,
so far as enrolment is concerned.
School officials for many years have
sought the solution of the condition
whereby every other year the enroll
ment shows a decided slump. Last
year was q peak year. with the en-
rollment approximating 10000.
Having returned from his Summer
vacation, spent at his camp in Maine,
yesterday afternoon, DR.. Ballou to-
day is holding a series of conferences
regarding plans for the September
20 opening. During his absence DR..
Ballou has taken care of all school
matters with clock-like regularity
from his Summer quarters, so his
return merely means he is picking up
the work where he left off Monday.
The appointment of an art director
has been decided upon, DR.. Ballou
indicated today. but cannot be an
nounced until a sufficient number of
Board Of Education members return
to the city to permit a poll on the
choice.
For the next couple Of weeks DIR.
Ballou will be busily engaged in whip
ping into shape his annual report.
One factor which will guarantee
against any serious crowded condi-
tions in the schools this year, DR..
Ballou reminds. is the opening of SIX
new elementary schools. including the
new James F. Oyster School on Cal
vert street, which is a 16room build
ing with an auditorium.

Human government, therefore, Is
an adjustment on the park of God
to this changed relation, but until
Christ does return and the direct
rule of God among men is resumed,
vernm ents are indispensable
Therefore, the Bible Is very explicit
in it's teaching that even imperfect
governments should and must be
obeyed Without government there
can be no order. The, laws OF
country, therefore, are the life OF a
country, and, however imperfect they
may be, they are the present bulwark
of safety and progress. Therefore,
not only did Jesus enjoin that we
should render unto Caesar the things
that are Caesars as freely as we rem
der unto God the things that are
Gods, but the great apostle, Paul,
stated the whole philosophy Of gov
ernment and the relation of religion
to it, when he said LET every soul
be subject unto the higher powers.
For there is no power but of God;
the powers that be are ordained OF
God. Whosoever therefore resisteth
the power, resisteth the ordinance of
God; and they that resist shall re-
ceive to themselves damnation. For
rulers are not a terror to good works,
but to the evil. Wilt thou then not
be afraid Of the power? Do that
which is good, and thou shalt have
praise Of the same: For he is the
minister of God to thee for good.
But If thou do that which Is evil.
be afraid; for he beareth not the
sword in vain: for he is the minister
Of God. a revenger to execute wrath
upon him that doeth evil. Where
fore ye must needs be subject, not
only for wrath, but also for con.
science sake. For this cause pay
ye tribute also: for they are Gods
ministers, attending continually upon
this very thing. Render, therefore,
to all their dues; tribute to whom
tribute is due; custom to whom GUS
tom; fear to whom fear; honor to
whom honor" Romans. xiii, 1.7)
Then Paul adds the Christian
principle which enables one to thus
obey the government, by saying:
"Owe no man anything; but to love
one another; for he that loveth an
other hath fulfilled the law"
