Poor Jenkins tried a ruse,
"You name," he said, "I've ofter

The spelling—let me see.
Which do you use, I wonder now,

Made poor old Jenkins ill,

Change In Government
Of Village Proposed
Many   Advantages   To   Be
Had- Under City
Form.
Petition   to   be   Circulated   in   Islear
Future  to "Residents   of
the Village.
Mayor Mark B. Sugden and
Trustee Walter Cook attended the
Michigan -Municipal League convention at Bay "City on September 17,
18 and 19 and .brought home with
them the plans for providing Saline
with a city government instead of
the antiquated village government
under which it now  operates.
The advantages of the 'city of
government, they, state, would be a
material saving to the tax-payer, a
city representative on the county
board ' of supervisors, and easiev
facilities for voting with all '. of the
residents' of the town voting at a
central place instead of going out to
the township polling places "as in
now neessary. . "
A number of Michigan villages of
over 750 have availed themselves of.
the opportunity of changing their
form | of government and most of
them have found it entirely successful, according to officials of the
Michigan Municipal League. Farmington recently changed and'is highly pleased- with • the result. Imlay
City changed several years ago and
has had a much better government
since. South Lyon has recently voted
for-the city form.of government and
a charter is in the process of being
drawn up.
Under the city charter' proposal,
Saline would (be a separate township
in itself, having a representative on
the county board of . supervisors.
Residents of the city would no longer
.pay a township tax and. the city
would assume all the duties of the
township. Other cities report that
this is done at a considerable saving.
The city government would be similar to the present government as far
as administrative and legislative officers are concerned, although the
charter commission could institute
whatever government it should
choose to present to the .people foi
ratification under the home rule law.
Being under a home rule charter
would give the city, broader powers,
more economically handled, than under the present general village law.
Various citizens of the village have
expressed considerable enthusiasm
for the proposed type of government
and are heartily endorsing it. No action can be taken on the matter until
a petition is circulated and presented to the village trustees.

MRS. FAIRBANK INJURED
INT ACCIDENT THURSDAY
Mrs Lloyd Fairbank was injured
in an automobile accident, Thursday
when her Ford coupe was struck .by
a Nash sedan driven by August
Tracy of Detroit. She was taken to
Ann Arbor and an x-ray examination
showed that KmeJfsl the bones in her
shoulder was injured. She is recovering and is not confined to her bed
because of her injury.
The accident happened near the.
traffic signal about 5 p. m. Mrs.
Fairbank was, making a left turn
to .park her car when the' Nash
struck the front right wheel. Both
cars were carried across the street
by tjie force of the collision. The
Ford lost a front wheel and the axle
was bent. The" Nash was not seriously damaged.
A compilation has toeen made by
Superintendent A. A. Kalder of the
number of students in the various
classes in the high school and the
pupil load toeing-";Carried by each
teacher. The results of this study
reveal a number of interesting figures.
Under the present schedule there
are 34 classes toeing taught in the
high school -which includes the seventh through the twelfth grades.
■Seven teachers handle all of these
classes and the average number of
pupil hours for each teacher is 109.
Pupil, hours are computed, on the ba-
sisjof the number Of pupils in a class
one school hour long. Thus a class
of 18 would make 18 pupil hours for
an instructor.
The teacher carrying the heaviest
load of pupil hours is Hazen Jewell,
commercial instructor, -with 133
(hours. Mrs. L. R. Herrington, principal of the high sehool and history
and civics teacher, is second with 126
hours. The load for the others is
Miss Gladys* Thitoaut, junior high, 121
hours, Miss Edwina Learmont, German and English 117, A. A. Kalder,
mathematics, 101, Raymond Shaw,
science, 84, and Miss Helen Stone.
English and Latin, 81. 'The total it"
763 pupil hours.
The largest class is history XL
with 46 pupils while the smallest is
shorthand with six. In the typing
class there are 56 pupils in four sections with 14 in .each.
Five classes each are taught by
Miss Thibaut, Miss Learmont, Misr
Stone and Mr. Jewell. The others
teach four except Mr. Kalder, who
has three.
The large load carried by Mr. Jewell is .offset somewhat by the fact
56 of his pupil's are in typewriting
classes which do not require preparation by the teacher. Miss St-cnr
has five classes but the-, enrollment
in each one is small, which accounts
for the light load which she carries,
states Mr. Kalder.
The load which should be carried
by teachers- is under 90 pupil hours
he says. Also, administrative teachers should not toe -obliged to carry as
many as 90 hours, he stated. The
Saline school is not far from the
average for the state, however.
