was considered significant that Walter
Cieorge Smith, who Is xilrt to have re
fused his support to the ' Independents. '
left the meeting before the skirmish be
gan. Our president's report comes n i
sweet breeze from the North," fcald
Doctor Martin. ' Tho board should
miko every tffort to derive the full
irrviH fri.n. thin AmIHa from the IlierltS
of tho various points raised by the I
report. I believe the advocated reionns
should be considered from the broadest
possible point of view."
This resolution was vigorously at
tacked by Mr. Lane, who struck the
kovnoto of tho "stand-patters"
"I am most heartily opposed to any
change In the prcocnt school H'tcni,"
he said 'If our svstcm has taken its
present form. It Is the outgrowth of
ears, and there must bo some good
reason for Its having developed along
the present lines It may be thit I am
conservative and that I have not good
Judgment, but I havo never vet seen
any reform or reformers that amounted
to anything or that produced any good '
This attitude of 'that which Is, '.a

who pointed out that ho merely vi anted

menditlons und suggestions to the
board
Mr. Catharine put In n plea for the
motion, which Mr. Gratz attempted to
kill by making an amendment that these
questions be referred to the various com
mittees Doctor Martin refused to ac
cept this amendment on tho ground i
that a wider view of tho subject than
the "committee view" vvas ciscntlal. Mr.
Citharlne pointed out tho enormous
growth In the cost per pupil sinco 1904
when the board was under control of
Councils
Finally Catharine offered an amend
ment, acceptable to Dr. Mirtln and
Simon Oratz, that the commltUo be
composed of the flvo chairmen of the
hands down hy tho old guard.'" was an
eduiator's comment todav "There has
been no orginlzatlon among the pro
gresslvei Kach man seems to differ
from tho other, and thero Is no agree
ment upon a set program None of the
Independents seem to know Just what
they want, or whit thev are trjlng to

Deduct one -third from the cost
The Dictaphone can save you from one-third to one-half the
cost of getting out your daily mail. It saves the many hours
lost in taking and waiting to take dictation.
Each operator does all of her letter-writing directly on the
typewriter. Thus she can produce from 50 to 100 more
letters per day at a reduced cost of at least one-third. No other
office system " serves or saves " better than The Dictaphone.
The thousands of testimonials we've received prove that the
average user dictator or operator wouldn't give up
The Dictaphone.
The Dictaphone instantly proves its worth in any kind of office,
on any kind of correspondence. Phone or write today for a
demonstration. No expense or obligations.
To Secretaries and Stenographers
If you already are turning out as many letters as you can,
how can you improve your chances for better pay ? Stop
writing letters twice. Write them only once with the aid
of The Dictaphone. That is the way to increase your value
to your employer, and also make your position more im
portant and profitable.
