The committee on exhibition refused to admit to competi-tofor the $300 prize the best painting offered, that of Willis A. Adams, on the ground that the picture was not worth the amount of the prize, hut really because Mr. Adams did not belong to the ring. As a matter of fact, none of the four pictures admitted were worth one quarter of that sum and the awarding committee did perfectly right in. refusing to make any award. To say the least it did not look very, well for two of the members of the OUR LINE OF' exhibition committee to admit their own pictures into the competition and reject the work of another artist, although the rejection as a mere blind was approved by two others who were in the ring. Of course the ring crowd are very angry and much chagrined and disappointed because the little bundle was snatched away when they had their fingers on it It is a discreditable and unsavory mess.

IT IS to be hoped the Board of Education will he able to work out some plan by which the schools can be kept open for the full school year. The loss of a month's schooling, while a serious matter in itself to the pupils, is the least part of the evil which closing about May 1 would produce. The worst feature would be the general disarrangement of the course of study mapped out and preventing of promotions. Early closing would mean a serious disarrangement of tho entire system and the consequence on next years school work would be disastrous to the efficiency of the schools. If no other plan can be evolved, it would be better for the pupils to pay a small fee for the months tuition, say $2 for the grades and $4 for the High school. It is a condition the Board is up against, not a theory, and the condition must be met in some way and without delay. Mr. Geoghegans plan to take money from the building and other funds for the purpose of paying the teachers and the general expenses of the last month of the present school year is impracticable, as most of Mr. Geoghegans schemes are. He maintained all along that the Board would have enough money to get through all right and made many estimates at various times, not one of which turned out to be even approximately correct. Now he wants to pass up the responsibility for a short Bchcol year to Banker McComick, that is, to put Mr. McCornick in the position of either renewing the $30,000 loan (which has been running for years on very easy terms) for an indefinite period or foreclosing, as it were, and taking the odium of forcing self-protectio- old-tim- e n, pre-arrang- old-tim- e n THE BEST IN TOWN!
