The State Grange, at its meeting at
Des Moines last week adopted by
vote of So TO 81 a resolution favoring
the abolition of the office of County
superintendent. There is little
doubt that the next Legislature will
make some change in the duties and
compensation of this Office if ii Is not
entirely abolished. Almost any
change in reference to the Office will
he hailed with joy by the people.
There must be some system OF super
vision, however, and all will hope
that it may be very different from
the present, which has been potori-
otisly unsatisfactory.
