Power of State Education Department 
There is so much complaint and dis¬ 
satisfaction regarding the order to install 
sanitary toilets in New York district 
schools that we submitted the question to 
a lawyer for review. 11 is opinion fol¬ 
lows and we think he is right. We would 
like to see a test case carried through. 
The Department of Education has as¬ 
sumed that the regents of the university 
under the powers conferred by Section 4G 
of the Education Law could prescribe re¬ 
quirements that such toilet facilities be 
installed. In my opinion, Section 40 gives 
the regents no such power. To my knowl¬ 
edge the question has never been tested, 
but it seems plain to me. The fact that 
the power has been usurped and perhaps 
exercised without successful resistance in 
no way proves that the power has been 
conferred. 
Section 40 gives the regents power, 
subject and in conformity to the Consti¬ 
tution and laws of the State, to exercise 
legislative functions concerning the edu¬ 
cational system of the State, to determine 
its educational policies, and to establish 
rules for carrying into effect the laws and 
policies of the State relating to educa¬ 
tion. Such powers being subject to the 
laws of the State I do not see how the 
regents could legislate about toilets when 
the subject was expressly covered by Sec¬ 
tion 457 of the Educational Law. Under 
this section the trustees are required to 
provide two toilets that are fully de¬ 
scribed in the section, and keep the same 
clean and wholesome. If the district has 
not voted an appropriation for that pur¬ 
pose, trustees of a common school district 
may provide such toilets and the expense 
may be included in the tax without a vote 
of the district, when such expense shall 
have been authorized by the district su¬ 
perintendent. 
Paragraph four of Section 457 provides 
that for failure to comply the trustees 
may be removed from office, and public 
money withheld. Put this can only be 
done for a failure to comply with the sec¬ 
tion. The section gives the Department 
no power to prescribe a certain style of 
toilet and compel the costs to be included 
in the tax roll without a vote of the dis¬ 
trict. Of course the Department has the 
power to determine wlmt are “suitable 
and convenient toilets,” and for failure to 
provide such, public money may be with¬ 
held. However, a district would have the 
right to review the correctness of the de¬ 
partment decision about the suitability 
and convenience of the toilets maintained. 
In view of the great dissatisfaction 
with the action of the Department, it is 
desirable that a test case be made. No¬ 
body wants to allow any school district 
to maintain unsuitable toilets. But the 
question of the kind of toilets is a rela¬ 
tive oue. A kind of toilet which the 
health officer of the town approves for 
well-kept country homes ought to be suit¬ 
able for a country school. 
The radical trouble is, I think, in the 
method of procedure. A better method 
would be to have an inspection made and 
when a district was not maintaining suit¬ 
able toilets have the matter brought to the 
attention of a school meeting (a special 
meeting if necessary) and present the 
question to the taxpayers of the district. 
If. by a vote of the district, proper ar¬ 
rangements were not made, let the dis¬ 
trict superintendent prescribe what he 
thinks is proper and make the expense a 
charge on the district, with some sort of 
appeal in case the district felt aggrieved 
by the superintendent’s order. 
I should certainly like to see the order 
of the Education Department tested in 
court. I do not believe the Board of Re¬ 
gents has the power to prescribe a uni¬ 
form move for all districts, but that the 
matter is governed by Section 457 of the 
Education Law, and that the provision 
made by each district is to be judged by 
itself ns to suitability and convenience, 
and that the only power a department has 
is by removal of the trustee and with¬ 
holding public money iu case this section 
is uot complied with.

The jury was evidently getting on the 
judge’s nerves, and at last he announced: 
“I discharge this jury !” A tall, lean 
member of the 12 then rose. “Say, judge, 
you can’t discharge me!” “Han’t dis¬

block of the Canadian Pacific Reserved Farm 
Lands. Until this block is disposed of you can secure at low 
cost a farm home in Western Canada that will make you rich and 
independent. The country 19 ideal for mixed farming as well as grain

North American Continent will farm lands be offered at prices so low.

der an irrigation system of un¬ 
failing water from $50 an acre 
and up. 
Twenty Years to Earn 
and to Pay 
The Canadian Pacific offers you this 
land under a plan of Ions term, easy 
payments that is remarkable in the 
history of farm investments. You pay 
down 10%. Then you have no pay¬ 
ment on the principal until the end of 
the fourth vear, then fifteen annual 
payments. Interest is 6%. In central 
Saskatchewan, Seagar Wheeler grew 
the world’s prize wheat. World’s prize 
oats were grown at Lloydminster. 
Lands Under Irrigation 
In Southern Alberta, the Canadian Pa¬ 
cific Railway has developed the largest 
individual irrigation undertaking on 
the American Continent. This district 
contains some of the best lands in 
Canada. An unfailing supply of Water
