CONCERNING THE
OFFICE OF COUNTY
SCHOOL  COMMISSIONER
As stated in a previous communication, the County School Commissioner
has charge of rural schools only, that
official has no jurisdiction over the
schools of the cities. Because of this
fact, very (Special qualifications are
demanded of a person who successfully holds that position. It is not
enough that the occupant possess
high acadamic training and he fami-
lair with all the recent developments
and theories of education. In order to
he successful the County School Commissioner must he able to understand
and sympathize with the people with
whom, she is to deal. A person possessing these two types cf qualifica-i
tions is difficult) to finch
Miss Cora Haas was selected as a
candidate for the office of County
School Commissioner because those
having charge of the selection were
convinced that she possessed the
qualifications fior that position to a
remarkable degree. (A fact probably
not generalUly known is that Miss
Hass was recommended for the position as strongly by republicans as by
democrats; she is str'ely a non-
parjtiisaai candidate appearing biy necessity on the Democratic ticket.)
Miss Hass wais barn and reared in
Washtenaw County. She is a graduate of the State Normal college and
for ia mumbe,r of years has been an
outstanding teacher of the county.
She has fifteen yea/rs been a member
of the -County Board of Examiners,
for three years sh|3 was a associated
with the State Normal college as a
zone teacher and for the past two
years has heen a member of the fae-*
ultiy of the State Normal], college.
During her many years teaching
experience:
She has 'demonstrated her ability
to actually put her ideas into practice henself in her own school.
She has won and held the respect,
confidence and admiration of the
pupils;
She has come to know the problems
and needs of the rurail school through
actual 'experience;
She has won the respect and confidence of the people in. the districts;
She has continued to 'keep in intimate contact with the problems and
ideate of the irur,al people;
She has come to appreciate and
sympathize witlh the farmer's point of
view upon education questions.
The committee is confident after a
personel interview with Miss Hass
that the rurail schools of thie county
and other interests of the farmer can
safely be entrusted in her care. They
are confident she will not assume an
'autocratic 'and domineering attitude;
and no .radical changes in the school
system will be made without the support of the people concerned; and that
she will become the -agent of no individual or group except those whom,
sihie is supposed tio work with and for.
During the time she has been
•teaching Miss Haas has kept thorol|y
alive to the developments in education and is familiar with all the new
principle's aind .theories and is able to
see their advantages or disadvantages
in compiarison tp the older ones.

A. D. Crittenden, was horn on a
farm four 'iniiles east of Saline, on the
Townline road, in 1854. Until he was
sixteen he helped his father, Allen,
an the farm and attended the district
school. After trwio lyears in Saline
High school, he entered the Normal
college at Ypsilanti where he remained until 1874. He taught for four
months at Orchard Lake and then returned to Ypsiltnti for his third year.
But in the middle of the term he left
to .aiccept a position- a)s teacher at the
Lowden district school, where he remained tax the rest of the year.
School teaching appealed to -him
and he had definitely decided to finish his course at Ypsilanti and continue in the profession. But about
that time his father, deciding that he
needed help on the farm, asked Mr.
Crittenden to stay and hiefljp him. Like
a dutiful son he did, aind worked the
farm until fourteen years ago. Recently he sold the farm to Greenfield
and Emar, Ypsilanti rea'ltors, for a
subdivision.
Pittsfield township owes much to
Mr. Crittenden, for he held the position of highway conimisRi'mer in that
town for eleven years and in that
time he built all new bridges and repaired all the road, laying many new
ones. He has been prominent in public affairs all his life. He has served
two terms as justice of the peace; for
many years he was a,, director of the
district jschool; and he is now serving
his second terni on the Common Council of Saline. He has been very active in church affairs and served
many years as superintendent of the
Sunday school. Some years ago he
served a term on the Saline school
board. Mr. Crittenden married Miss
Ella R. Cobb, who lived in York township just south of town, in 1878. They
have five children living, all grown
and scattered over the country. Eugene, who is a Chemist and has his
doctor^ degrs^*, is making a ireputa-s
tion for hWself in Syracuse, New
York.
Fourteen, years agjo Mr. Crittenden
built the house in. which he now lives
near the eastern edge of the   village.

The Juniors of Saline High school
presented "Thiei .Charm School" to two
large audiences Thursday and Friday
nights. Although but -three of the
cast had, appeared im plays before, the
interpretation was excellent.
The story centers around a young
automobile salesmain, Austin Bevans,
ably pjiayeu by Leonard Hutzel, who
has inherited a girls' school through
the death of h^s aunt. With the help
of his friends he attempts to run the
school, using as his basis the beaching
of charm. He comes to realize that
there are manly difficulties involved in
teaching and not the least of these is
"charm:."
When Bevans arrives at the school,
he finds the Semior class about to
leave as *they have mistaken Homer
Johns, hi,s aunt's lawyer, for him. Upon learning their mistiaike they decide
to stay. Elsie Bennedotti, the president of the .Senior class and Miss
Curtiss, the imiddleaged secretary of
the school, promptly falll in love with
him.
AU ends happily, however, and the
school reurns to Miss Hayes, Mr.
Johns' former wife.
Harrison Harwcod, Homer Johns,
an elderly lawyer, who feels that
Bevaii|S' ideas are all wrong, played
a difficult part to perfection.
Ermia Theurer as Miss Hayes, principal of the Fairview School for
Gii'ls, loved and feared by all, played
her part with sweetness and dignity.
Donna. Cook as Miss Curtiss played
her part of the forlorn spinster in an
ideal manner, as did Alicei Schleh,
who took the jparff of Elise Bennedotti,
showing herself very versatile in ov-
eiyeoming difficulties.
Special! features of the play were
the Spanish Folk Dances given by the
girls and the excellent concert acting
of the twins, Jim and Tim Simpkins,
Clarke Gordan and Carl Mohrhardjt.
Robert Hammond as David Mac-
Kensie and Allen Crittenden as
George Boyd, friends of Austin Bevans, were strong characters.
The girls who did the folk dancing
land played the part of the Senior
girls, Esther Bowen, Eve'iyn Ernst,
Lenora Ernst, Qlara Smith, Dora Gilbert, Margaret Milkey, and Anna
Sommer, are to be Complimented on
their group work in acting and dancing.
Dorothy Tower, another member of
the Junior class, played three beauti-
fn'ii. v.Wln solos between acts.
Oscar Kleinschmidt was property
man and pHayed the part of the postman.
The class is indebted to Miss Herman for teaching the folk dances; also Ermia Heininger, Miss Fuoss, and
Martha Visel for helping in make-up,
and to the many friends who so kindly loaned furniture for tihe occasion.

There is a good farmer just on
the edge of Grand Ledge who says
openly that President Coolidge did
■the right thing to veto the Mc-
Nary-Haugen bill. What is more,
he is not only making money on his
fa.rm, but is doing so well that he is
buying more land. He is one of
those farmers which the Literary Digest spoke of—"The good farmers
will take care of themselves!"—Grand
Ledge Independent.
Everybody seems to be in favor of

''Nearly a pound of pins were found

Spec'al Sale on Choice Baled Goods
and Especially Buns, at the Saline
Bakery Saturday, April 2.
Red Cross Buns, something new,
will be the specialty at the bakery
Saturday, and the price is reduced to
ony 15c per dozen. At this price any
parson that chooses to can afford to
buy a dozen of these buns in order to
see what they are and try them out.
While at the bakery don't fail to look
over my nice display of other choice
baked goods, which I think will look
so tempting that you will have a desire to also try some of them. And
you can't miss it if you do, as all my
bread and baked goods are guaranteed equal to the best and the price is
the lowest of any place in town. So
please give my baked goods a fair
trial that you may see for yourself.
Note Tlhs in Particular
' On account of the demand for the
Red Cross buns being so much greater
than I expected it would be, the supply gave out before a number of the
customers had made their purphase.
Therefore, so no one will be disappointed, I have decided to run .the
Red Cross bun special again next Saturday, April 2, so a)U may have a
.chance to, try them out at the same
special price of 15c per dozen, the
same as last week Saturday.
