lGNoRAMUsEs AS SCHOOL oFFICERs.-Among
the simplest and most rational means OF i'm
proving the public schools would be general
understanding, il not Law, requiring that
every member of any school board must pos
sess at least common English education. This
is far from being the case now. Men Of intel
ligence, who would not hire man to curry a
horse or milk COW without reasonable assur-
snce that he understood the BUSINESS vote for
school directors without question az to their
fitness, and often with full knowledge OF their
utter unftness. 1t is exasperating to turn TO
the school laws and note with what almost die
tatorial powers the statute clothes school Of
fcers. They determine, without consulting the
taxpayers, the amount to be levied for sala-
RES OF teachers, and all current expenses OF
the schools OF the district; they employ and
discharge teachers at their will they determ-
inc what branches shall be taught and how -
they make all rules and regulations OF the
school; and from their fat there is practically
no appeal. The law requires the teacher to
procure a certificate OF justification to teach
the common English branches. Whether the
directors who employ him and have unlimited
power over the school know enough to read
this certificate or not is immaterial IN law, and
seems often matter Of indifference 10 the
taxpayers and parents.-Chlcago Inter-Ocean
