Beaumont. Open the Doors. The Evening Sentinel commends the action of the Board of Education in re-appointing Mr. G. V. Buchanan superintendent of schools for another year. Superintendent Buchanan has been affiliated with the Norwalk public school system for the past seven years. During his term of office. he greatly improved the school system in spite of the almost intolerable condi- tions which have unfortunately eul- isted. such as the lack at proper school accommodations and. under previous administrations. the want of adequate school supplies and books. Superintendent of Schools Buch- anan is a kindly man: a man whose helplng‘hand is extended to teachers and parents alike. He is popular and yet, at the same time. keeps a steady hand on the rudder of school aflairs. steering them into right channels. ‘Vhile commending the Board of Education for its appointment of Mr. Buchanan. the Evening Sentinel. however. does not approve of the idea of the board going into "executive session" for the discussion of mat- tors relating to the proposed build- ing program. This program calls for the expenditure of. $350,000 of the public‘s money. The public has a right to know where and how each penny of this money is to be spent. it has the right to know the reasons pro and con for the choice of the locations of the new school buildings: why one member of the board voted for this location and another member for that location: the public is enti~ tied to know how members cast their votes for the different locations. Newspapers are willing and desir- ous of co-operating in any public im- provements. and members of the Board of Education should realize this. It. as is quite possible. the mat- ter of school sites came up for dis— cussion at the executive session last night, a. word to the newspaper-men would have been sufficient to have suppressed the location and, the names of the owners of the building sites'under discussion. The Board of Education need have no fear of a "leak" from that source. In the interest of the general good the Evening Sentinel hopes that all future meetings of the Board of Edn- cation in relation to the new school , program will be open to) the public. Prosperity. How long until we have another business slump? A Wall Street bank- er tells us. his studies of the past show that business cycles (periods of depression or hard times) usually last three to tour years. They are shorter or longer. when interfered with by wars or changes in the banking sys- tern. If this is true. we have at least 18 months of good times ahead of us. For the present revival of industry he- gan late in July, 1921. when the steel industry hit bottom and began climb- ing back toward normal. A three- year cycle would not end until July. 1924. Add another year. for a four- year cycle. Every natural law has it exceptions. including the theoretical law that up or down movements or business last three to four years. . A period of prosperity began in 1878 and' lasted until 1885. By going ahead seven years before reacting in a slump. it broke the rule. The per- iod of prosperity was abnormally long because from 1878 to 1885 the nation- al banks were very active. Maybe something will happen to break the rule again and make our current prosperity last until 1928 or longer. Business is the most uncertain of all .games of chance. measured ovr-r long Kgperiods. and one guess probably is as ' good as another. .______.____ Furs. a 'w' Thirty million animals a year are :2an killed throughout the world to get enough furs to meet public mand. . The modern girl is more destructive tur~bearing animals than was the . yeman of 400 000 years ago. says 3 1!. Anthony. 0: American mama de- Natursl Elston-y. The big animals are nearly all ex- terminated. And slaughter of the smaller ones is increasing by .leaps and bounds. Fashion and vanity are rap- idly bringing to an end the age of mammals which'began (accorfi’rg to scientists) three million years ago. ____._.._.___. . Fir”. Matches “and careless smokers cause fire losses at néarly 26 million dollars "9"“ 13“" in one year. In announcing this. the National Board of Fire Underwriters says that this loss was abnormally large, and suggests that it may be due to increased use of tobacco by women. Needless to say, the board is composed of men. In handling lire. l€ast twice as careful as men. never see a. woman toss a. match into a wastebaskct after using it. Ms. runs around the house “picking up" after careless pa. But how often do you ree a pa have to "pick up" after a care- less ma? .______.____ Smuggling. A sailor on a French ship smuggled some liquor into Port Arthur. l‘exas. His customers paid him in Confcder- ate money. Police arrested him when he got back to France and began spending the worthless paper 'w ”tops whose owners didn't know the difler- once. The sailor makes good’on the bad money. But he's in hot water with his superiors, for smuggling friendly country. In dealing with foreign rum-runners outside our three~mile ocean limit. the real ottense is that they are as- sisting smugglers. On that charge. Washington might get some action women are at from London. ——“—_—._._.. Note and Comment. ‘We’li bet the Tennessee mountain- car who has lived 120 years has nev- er done anything else. ‘ U .

The value of board and lodging fur- nished hospital employees is to be re- turned as incomes unless the employee is subject to duty'at any time during the 24 hours of a day and therefore is :rcquired to accept quarters and meals living wgu.
