THE SCHOOL SUPERlNTEN-
DENCY.

The following remarks pertaining
to the electipg of School Superinten-
dents Of this State is from the pen of
Hon. j. p. Wickersham, in the laOt
number of the School Journal. We
publish it at this time because ere our
next paper is generally circulated, the
convention will be over. Mr.. Wick
ersham, State Superintendent, is the
highest authority in our State in mat
ters of this kind, and if his instructions
in the matter will do our directors any
good in making their choice, we shall
not take the trouble of publishing it
into consideration
The following questions should re-
ceive careful consideration at the
hands of the members of a convention
about to elect n superintendent of
schools; What qualification should a
superintendent of schools possess ? and
What salary should be paid him?
In answer to the first question, it
may be said that such a superinten-
dent should possess certain physical
qualifications. No one can properly
discharge the duties of the Office who
is not in the enjoyment of general
good health. Especially is this the
case with county superintendents who
have TO visit schools in the rural dis.
tricts, and are consequently much ex.
posed.
Intellectual Qualifcations.-As test
of intellectual qualifications, the law
renders any one ineligible to the Office
of superintendent who does not possess
one of the following documents: A
diploma from a college legally EN-,
powered to grant liteary degrees; a
diploma or State certificate issued by
the authorities of State Normal
School; professional or permanent
certificate, issued at least one year
prior to the election; a certificate Of
competency from the State Superinten,
dent, or a commission as a county
city or borough superintendent. In
addition to the intellectual qualifca,
tions usually indicated by the posses,
sion Of documents like the above
named, a superintendent of schools
should be a broad, liberal thinker, 9
good speaker, man of tact and O
marked administrative ability.
Moral QuaiifeatiOn8.-The law say
no person shall be eligible to the offic,
"uniess he has a sound, moral ebarac
ter" The very letter of the Law
should in this respect be adhered to
and will be, so far as the Department
is concerned. Nor is it sufficient fo
u superintendent of schools to be guilt
less of any gross "immorality." Ill
should be a positive worker for good
if possible, he should have all tn
moral qualities implied in the noble ex
preston: ga Christian gentleman"
Professional QualifeatiOns.-It
provided in the law, that a persoI
cannot hold the Office of Supeiinten
dent Of schools unless che has haC
successful experience in teaching with
in three years Of the time of his elec
ton" The spi'i of this provision is

March 4th, 1853, so far as they were
altered or supplied by this act of 9th
March, 1884, so far as respected the
counties named in the act.
SO that on the passage Of the act Of
1854, rings and yokes were no longer
required on swine running at large in
Northumberland county.
but, on the 18th of March, 1900, 3
Smith All, the Legislature repealed the
act of 9th March, 1884, so far as it re.
lated to Northumberland county.
The effect of that repeal is to revive
the authority of the supplement of May
10th, 1929, TO the act of 1905, also the
act for erecting pounds, Of May 10th,
1929, also the act concerning cattle,
horses and sheep of March 4th, 1868.
In 1918 Columbia county was erected
out of part of Northumberland county,
and of course all laws in force in the
mother county are binding upon us, un.
les they are repealed. or we have been
excepted from their operation. There
fore the law is, that rings and yokes are
required for swine in Columbia county,
the fences are regulated by the sixth
section of the act of 10th May, 1923,
whereby they "shall be esteemed lawful
or sufficient, though they be not close
at the bottom, so that the distance from
the ground 20 the bottom thereof, eX-
ceed not niue inches, and that they be
four feet and half high, and not un.
der" l Smith 173. Aud tho county
court is to appoint the viewers of fences,
as per act Of 1700, Smith 10. when
ever damages are claimed for trespass-
ing swine, either by the land owner, or
by the owner of the swine.
In is usually understood to be the
law, that township auditors are the
fence viewers in such Cases; but ref
erence to the act in question, 1lth
March, 1912, 2. L., 62, shows that it has
reference only TO line or partition fences
and not to their sufliciency as to tres.
passing cattle. So too, the act of 100,
relating TO fences, given in Purdon 475,
pl. f., is certainly not law, being super
seded by the general act of 10th May,
1929, Smith 173, Sec. 6, as given above;
and such, in regard to fences, seems to
be the opinion of the Supreme Court
in Gregg VS.. Gregg, p. f. s., 227, and
there we leave the question.

a pleasing one to contemplate-the re
planting Of tooth-but the thing has
been done, and is triumph Of surgical
skill. When the tooth is loose and pain
ful, with swelling at the gum, it is
taken out, the diseased parts scrappd
from the roots, while the healthy por
tions of mucous membrane attached to
the neck Of the tooth are not removed
1t is then washed in carbUlic acid. The
socket from which the tooth was drawn
is also cleansed, the tooth replaced, and

fortnight becomes as serviceable as the
other teeth. This is q remarkable Illus
