CITY DEPARTMENTS
 CALLED SLOW PAY
In No Hurry to Settle Bills With
 Garage Board

City boards have slow pay" rating on the books of the garage commission, statements made last night by Chairman B. w. Brown at meeting of heads of municipal de- partments last night disclosed.
 The garage commission complains it is unable to secure prompt pay ment for storage and for service on automobiles owned by the several departments with the result that it's own bookkeeping is made more diff hcult. An effort to pay promptly was urged by Chairman Brown.
 Dr. Gertrude J. Kinsella, chair man of the health board, told the conference a municipal incinerator is a necessity and must be erected as soon as possible. Collection of garbage and it's disposal is becom- ing a serious problem and a costly one, she said. Chairman D. F. Hall of the board of finance and taxa ton remarked that the absence of adequate dumping grounds lends to the problem and he feels, he said, continued "stalling" cannot be brooked.

Education broadcns and decpens
The power Of thinking and also en-
largcs the knowledge already gained
by the student. The process Of gain
ing knowledge is of far greater value
for the student than the knowledge
itself, rs the learning vanishes but
the process Of learning becomes a
part Of the students intellectual
equipment. The object. of education
is character. not efficiency. The
business Of the teachers is indirectly
to educate for business. Some stu
dents seek an education for the love
OF 1t but the prosaic purpose Of
education for most Of US is that we
may live the more comfortably.
Business has become education in

Why Girl Should Complete High School
Before Taking Up Business Training

The following essay on the sub
jet, why Girl Should Complete
High School Before Taking up Busi.
ness Training" was written by Miss
Evelyn koffel, eighth grade student
The essay won the S. prize Offered
by the Business and professional
W Omen's Vlub for the best essay on
the subject written by an eighth
grade girl.
Every girl should complete her
high school education before taking
up business training. 1t helps in a
social. business and educational
way. Not all pupils persist in high
school. Some drop out for economic
reasons and because they are not in
terested in ok-learning and others
are eager to become independent Of
their parents money. 1t has been
found that those who drop out are
the pupils that lack the mental
ability to do high school work. The
social life Of girl in high school
is developed to a great extent. When
they introduce social program in
the school they become so absorbed
IN the school orchestra, music clubs,
dramatic clubs and others that they
lose all interest in expensive enter
tainments and foolish and aimless
pleasure; it also gives a wholesome
outlet to the girls energies. The
social life develops confidence in
oneself and in gaining poise.
To enter the business field a
girl should at least have hiph
school education. One should be
proficient and accurate in such com
mon subjects as mathematics, spell
