Sometimes we difler with Mayo; Cobb, but we want to any right here moat emphatically that he did just yight. He sees, as every sensible man must. that such a policy is thor- onghly demoralizing to our public schools. It pupils are to go from the sixth grade into the high school. let us at once abolish the seventh and eighth grades; but until" these two years or: grades} are abolished, let us ‘ stand by: the public schools. on that point, â€"â€"whioh we do not grant by any means,â€"-does not the fact, that often the several sections of that Ordinance had been approved one by one, then on a proper motion made and seconded, the ordinance as a whple, un‘unbroken unit, was voted on and passed, ”does not that fact make it legal and valid? In other words was not that vote on the ordi- nance as a whole the “enacting” vote. all else was only preliminary, without any enacting power. That valid and wholly legal enactingwote overrides, supersedes and remove! an previous irregularities and do. Section lo, ,3; Alderman Grant got “fired up" so to speak in the council Tuesday night over the gas franchise ordi- nance, claiming that the ordinance is not legal and valid because the wrong alderman seconded a motion to re- consider one section thereof. Grant- ing all that alderman Grant clalma deeds. Ye's, he was in' a “veto” frame of mind; in lact, hit Alder- men had not given him 3 chance for one for a long time,‘ and the result of his careful;deliberate and mature reflections was that David Sr. would veto David Jr;’a pet scheme, and he did solthen and there, with a veto that m not 'to- be‘ changed or re- voked. David 31‘. being a well train- ed and worthy youth, to his credit be it said. did not set out as some fac- tions legislative bodies try to do, to pass the measure over the executive veto. Not a“ bit of it. He accepted the situation as outlined by e wisdom more mature and superior to his own, and is still a pupil in‘the pub lic schools where he belongs. All honor to Mayor Cobb for his noble, wise. manly'stand on this vital matter. Let us not drag down our high school and make it a laughing stock of the educational world. One West side working yvom-an retried her son’s plan to “skip" two grades and go up, saying, "He won't learn any too much ’if he gets it all." She says her son must graduate “regu- lar.” Wise mother! ' flatten had reached this stage when David Sr. appeared on the wane as) dramatis' persona. , It was at thedinner table. we believe, wlien David Jr. andounced his pur- pose, plans and achievements, indi' catingihie next move. ‘Dalvid Sr. is not a rash man; he does not issue orders, edicts and decisions to-dey to be changed, oohntermanded 'or revoked tomorrow, so he merely suggested that we “ look into. this matter,” as his son and heir pro- [pounded hie scheme and told of Onr'l‘w Dnvkb. Highland Park boasts of several Davids. two of whom are bankers, one is Mayor. and there are other Davids of loan note. The two we have' to mind belong to the some family, the “Sr ” and the “Jr ” The Jr. is a pupil of the public schema and he caught the fever to “go hp higher” wfih one md'twenty of hi; fellow and so he took the ex. aminotions,and passed. Ther’eupon David Jr. prepared to pick up« his books from room"7 and go over to the new high school building. Perhaps he had bade his old oom~ rades in hrithmetic etc. a final fare- well; looked over the familiar halls and haunts of the public school and shed a tear or two at the thought that all was over there.
