"Tha title1 of this paper Implies tha

tha principle upon which evolution and

"The questions which are causing" uneasi
ness in the educational world may to
1 stated briefly thus: In view .of the
truth that out of every 160 chil
dren in tha elementary grades do not
enter tha high school, and that three
out of .-ovary four children In the high
schools do not go to a college, technical
or professional school, and that only
for the remaining one Is there an op

It" said Councilman Gray, heatedly.
"Neither will 1 vote for : the .Bennett
ordinance. X believe the Itnea are pretty.'
closely drawn oa this proposition. Ten
members of the council have conferred
on this proposition and we have drafted
thia Bennett -ordinance after . much
thought, and It looks good to me. If
you recommend any other ordlnanoa I
will put in a minority report to the
council favoring tha Bennett ordinance.1

plcion on tha Bennett ordinance, and
atated that there was much In It' that
was superfluous.- -City Auditor Devlin
reconstructed, it and made It simpler.
