The Nassau County Review takes the poaition in village politics that it is not its province to try to influence its readers in favor of any one candi¬ date, 80 long as no particular issues are at stake.    Politics has never been

Taen tiiere Is the question of sewers. Some people are gbing to vote for Mr Kdwards because they hear that ho will put through a eewer proposition if elected. We don'r. believe he ever made any .?uch promises, or that he is pledged in any way, and as a matter of factf* if he was it would lose him votes rather than make them for him, taking it all in all through tbe village. This rumor is not entitled to any cred¬ it whatever. Neither Mr. Edwards or either of his opponents is yet well enough acquainted with village finan¬ cial affairs to be able to form any opinion as to the advisability of in¬ stalling sewers at the present time, an(f even if he had the thing very pos¬ itively in mind no sewer proposition can be "put over" on the taxpayers without a vote, notwithstanding our lerislators have done their best to "ffx" the laws .tnd make it as easy a • posaible to get a sewer system going

the editor is just human enough to want to see his brother (Howard E. Pearsall) elected, because he is his brother and furthermore because his experience in village affairs during his years of active work in the fire department has well qualiHed him-foT' the position. We do not know of any reason why he should not be elected, and we expect him to receive the high¬ est vote of any candidate on the tick¬ et. If he doea not, we shall be disap¬ pointed. Our disappointment, how¬ ever, and his, in such a case, would have to be tempered by the reflection that the other two candidates, Messrs. Miller and Bedell, are two as popular ~men as could be named, and are men well qualified for the position, the one from business succeas and the other from having already had experience on the Board.

Train*; were run through the water as long as it was safe, but finally the tracks got in such condition that it was not deemed advisable to try this any long¬ er, and no trains were run east or west thru Freeport. There was also a similar condition at Valley Stream, so that it was only possible to run a shuttle service between Lynbrook and Freport, Hnd commuters were oblijfed to resort to various expediencies in order to reach their homes. The most common way was to take the train from Jamaica to Woodhaven Junction, then to Rockaway Beach, then to Lyn¬ brook and transfer to the steam train at that point, the trip requiring from 2 to 4 hours.

Note.—A concession was granted pupils absent on Jasuary fifth and ^ixth as some roads v/ere impassable, our faculty incomplete and many schools closed. A concession was also granted to four pupils who were ex- c'vded because of contagious condi¬ tions. The pupils reported outside of building after the school assembled. It has been found that these favors maintain an interest Vhich is other¬ wise lost.
Parents can help in the prevention of the spread of contagious diseases by detaining the child at home for a day or two where there is a suspicion of approaching disease, It is recdW- mended that/a certificate of the at¬ tending physician be presented upon the child'a return to school after suf¬ fering from any disease as chicken- pox or whooping cough. Co-operation in these particulars will secure better results than to expect the class teach¬ er to detect approaching disease, or to rule the time when a child may return to school after an illness.
THPIPltire faculty will return for the ensuing year. This is a depart¬ ure from the previous regime. It ia expected that better results may be secured by this policy.
Easter vacation will begin with the close of school, Friday, iMarch 26, and regular sessions will begin Monday moming, April 5. It is expecte<l that no pupil shall ask for a favor.
