Tt has taken a comparatively long mu- said, to see the absurdity of € an obstacle between the eighth nd tenth years of a school course, and yet today are rare exceptions. The spirit of an- tagonisin between high school and 2le- mentary school has largely given place 16 a spirit of co-operation which is due 16" the study of educational principles i normal schools and in our edu- 1 literature. It is safe to say what ‘no plan of accredited high schools, whieh without any personal investiga- tion or sxamination decides that a high school is good or poor, can be other than a temporary expedient. There cam be no true co-operation batween collegas and secondary schools untll the teachers in the two Institu- tions come to know each other better in the true sense of justly recognizing the ‘work that each Is trying to do. The college teachers must learn to re- spect and have confidence in the sec- ondary school teachers much in the same way that the high school teach- ers have learnad to respect and trust the teachers of the elementary schools. The college entrance board can do a vast amount of good, sald Mr. Holmes, among the high schools of New Eng- Iand by making provision for skill inspection these schools work might well be done by a se tary of the board, who would devote nearly all his time to making such visits of inspection. ‘The secretary, or inspector, -should be _a man big enough to give some noeded advice to the college authori- ties, partieularly in regard to their THiethod of teashing during the fresh- man year. This inspector should also require full reports from the colleges on the work of the puplls who failed during the time of probation and these reports should be semnt to the hizh achoels from where the pupils came.

Greenville—Two answered—Yes. Port Lavaca—We find that it is good. The town was incorporate@ under the commission plan. The voters have had experience and wanted it. No party question is involved. Fort Worth—No. Ballot may be headed, but nothing to indicate politics of candidates except as indicated in heading. b Has the activity of parties in Ifishly seeking the elsction of their own members been diminished?

The editor of the Post Lavaca Wave writes The Bulletin: “Texas cities having special char- ters under the commission form have powers that our town does not. This is a small town, and operated under the general law. The citizéns of a place can by vote select any plan. We are getting suffrage regulation in Texas, and will still have more of it. Any ~kind of popular government can ‘become corrupt or inefficient if the voters are ignorant or debased.” GREENVILLE. The city of Greenville is delightful- Greenville—No; elections are gov-| V. crned by state law and were fairly clean before. Little or no difference so far as elec- tions are concerned, thers being only one party of strength here, and nomi- nations made in same way as before. Port Lavaca—We should say so. Texas, anyway, the voter must pay a poll tax nine months in advance. “Fort Worth—Municipal elections of all kinds arz.governed by state laws. Commission government effects no change. < In yomr-l, is the new form of government cleaner from ical .in- fluence, more business-like in admini tration, more effectually’ ani more progressive, more soun dy .eo- In | nomical? Marshail—Yes, to.all questions, an- swer.of both. Greenville—Two answered—Yes. - Port . Lavaca—That would be the verdict of the citizens here. The old plan will never be used again. Fort Worth—Political influence un- changed; but fear of the recall impels officials to give good service. and the alluvial black loam to the east. The country surrounding and tribu- tary to Greenville is unquestionably the most fertile “spet” in the great | Well Lone Star State. The affairs of the city are run on the commission form of government. The| of city owns its own water works, elec- tric light plant and sewerage system. It has the largest. compress in the world, largest refinery in the south, large cotton anmd oil mill, sixteen churches, business university, Baptist and Holiness colleges, $80,000 high school building and four brick ward schools.

Are men of higher character and greater ability induced to become candidates for office? Marshall—Much better men. One answered Yes. Greenville—Yes, because pay is bet- ter and public interest greater in seek- ing to induce good men to offer. One answered Yes. Port Lavaca—Our board is composed of the best business and profess‘onal material we could find. Fort Worth—Can see no change in this respect. b.

What per cent. of voters is requi nd to gain a recall, and is K of- Tective? Marshall—35 per cent. vomns for governor at last election. Thirty-five per cent. of qualified vot- ers. Never had occasion to exercise recall provision. Greenville—Charter of this city has no recall; dbut has reférendum on granting of franchise. ' Other = citles have 25 to 40 per cent. of qualified vot- ers_for recall Unfortunately, charter ‘does not pro-~ vide for recall. = Port Lavaca—Ths recall is only used in Texas in points having special char- a. ~ |s /there greater and more lity upon members of the municipal councii? Marshall—Yes, but under our plan responsibility largely on the chief com- missioner, who_ receives sufficient sal- ary to devote his entire time. One answered Yes. Yes. A report of condition of all depattments of the city must be made publlic and each alderman has his specific department and must make good or suffer. Greenville—There is, and they are expected to run town mgtters just as they would their: private affairs. One answered Yes. Port Lavaca—One answered Ya: Fort Worth—One answered Yes. b. Are appointments made by them (more than before) on the grounds of fitness rather than pelitical strength? Marshall—We have had some disap- pointments here which nearly caused an appeal to the recall Yeés, Aitness, but subject to criticism in the exercise of judgment. Greenville—Yes, for reasons above stated each alderman is fully responsi- ble for management of his depart- be; but does mnot always follow. ¢. Does the administration in its methods resemble more than the old form the business administration of some large industry? - Marshall—Yes: but our chief is a politician more than a business man. We have only had commission form two years. One answered Yes. Greenville—Decidedly. it doe: fact, when organigad fully the h!’ge business. industry .plan .is the whole works. . One answered Yes.
