The McHenry county survey committee, studying the county school situation, has already made considerable progress. Before making a careful chockup of school conditions in each district in the county in general, the committee believes it best to suggest certain ideals toward which the rural school should mdve. It is list* ing these standards in the hope that parents, teachers and others interested will make constructive comments, for only in so far as the people desire good schools can such ideals be reached. These decisions must be arrived at by the people themselves if we want a firm foundation for out educational system. They ean never be successfully imposed by outside agencies. Here are some points that the committee feels should be stressed in pushing a program of school improve- According to word received from Springfield last week, no attempt will j be made in Illinois to comply with the war ballot act of 1917 calling for elections to be held in army camps. The absentee ballot will be the only means many men in the service will have of exercising their franchise. Article XXIL of the state election laws provides for the preparation and distribution of special ballots' to the commanding officers of men from Illinois in actual service, so they may cast their vote. Compliance with the law was termed "impossible" last week by officials at the statehouse. The reasons given are that the act calls for ballots caaQrinjr 9nly* the names of feandidatee for state offices, which would mean higher printing costs. In addition, it was pointed out, the act as worded is evidently intended to apply to service men outside the United States, and the fact that no companies composed of Illinois troops only have been sent out of the country so far as has been sent out of the so far has has been officially announced, adds to the difficulty of compliance in this respect. The law states that "qualified electors of any such company or regiment RAY PAGE MAY BE NEW COMMANDER OF LEGION DISTRICT AT JAK,§2 ' MEETING • ; Ray Paige, past county commander of the A merican Legion, was endorsed for district "Commander at a meeting held last Thursday evening.

A large crowd of Legionnaires were present at the meeting held at The Bridge ballroom, as Mr. Waugh urged all members to get behind the civilian defense program in the state and help organise it as quickly as possible. Mr. Waugh holds the title of chairman of this program, having been recently appointed by Gov. Green. Vulnerable Points It was pointed out that the selection of air raid warning wardens and air raid observers by Legion posts throughout the state is one of the jobs of the Legion. Key men are being placed in tabs as regional, district and county supervisors and wardens. Observation points will be named in each city and necessarv communications lines provided. Mr. WauMi pointed out that the many vulnerable points in this section of the country include the steel mills and bit: oil refineries in Indiana and various defense plants, such as the one at Peoria. Legionnaires are being nressed into civilian defense service because the large percentage of Legion membership has passed the age limit for active field service in either the army, navy or m»nn»s. He nvinted out that the sons of many Legionnaires are heloing carry the load now which is an indication that th» fathers must be nearing that s»e i&hich makes them too old for active duty.
