From the reports which have been sent to his office, there Is every indication that the reorganization of the schools In September will bring a wider field of activity and usefulness for the coming year. During the summer, Mr.

Scott will study closely local economic and industrial conditions with the end in view of having the school system continue more widely to meet the needs and requirements of community Hfe. He realises that almost unlimited opportunities are open to local schools for aortal service of the highest quality and to anticipate and meet these must be the ultimate test of the value of the public education provided in our schools. It Is too early for a critical study of the curriculum to have been made, but It is not the intention of the new superintendent at this time to make any radical departure from the present course which is recognised as in line1 Ladies' Silk Hose 15c Slight seconds of a regular 30c and 75c hose.

Mr. Scott closed the discussion by directing his remarks to Mr. Smith when he said that he had never seen selfishness so personified as it has pre lined the liver banks, and crowded the steamboats and yachts at the finish, despite the fax-t that Syracuse, last year winner, and the two Western crews, Wisconsin and Washington, were early eliminated by the hot pace. The start was delayed when a Cornell oarsman Jumped his slide In the first few strokes and the six crews had to be recalled and sent away a second time.

It was almost seven o'clock, and twilight had settled upon the water under the frowning hillside when Pennsylvania slashed Its way Mr. Scott stands and which we may expect to see a part of his administrative policy in this city. Owing to the shortness of time it opinion that if the Levy Court wanted something from the gaa company for the franchise that they should asK for a lump sum of money and place it in the coffers of the Levy Court. Mr. Burris said with the sections stricken out, the Levy Court could tax the gas company for what the line was worth and thereby weuld derive the right benefit.

The motion to strike out the sections was then put, Mr. Burris remarking to Mr. Oroves that If he voted for this action he would vote for the Incorporation of the amendment word for word which had shortly before been presented, and which could be placed In the original resolution after the sections were stricken out. This was satisfactory to Mr. Groves.

These undoubtedly will take a more active part in the educational field during the coming year and their interest and influence ought to mean much along progressive liars. Concerning the efficiency of the high school curriculum, Mr. Scott shares the widespread anxiety that is everywhere prevalent throughout the country. He believes that greater freedom and elasticity in courses must prevail if the school is to fulfill its mission, and that it must no longer be regarded as solely a college preparatory school.

Mr. Foreacre then stated that there was one thing that he could not understand and that was why the Levy courtman of that district was designated to place the lights in these sections, and he said he believed that it was up to Mr.

Smith to tell the members where he proposed to place the lights. The points Mr. Smith designated were Stoeekle Corner, school house, little store a short distance further on and another in front of Guthries.
