STATE SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC
SCHOOLS - THE QUALIFICATIONS HE
SHOULD POSSESS.
II II. J L NJ. Curry, LII. D., General
Agent of the Pabody Education Fund, in
his admirable address before the General
Assembly of Alabama on the 9th Of last
February, thus speaks of the qualifications
which should be possessed by the State
Superintendent of Public Schools =
GA State Superintendent to take general
supervision is Indispensable. Sp, cial quail
ifications are needed, for he is to be clothed
with authority and responsibility. He
should be a superior man, fol of enthusi-
asm. knowing thoroughly the work of each
grade of his schools, and ever on the alert
to secure excellence. He to understand
and interpret the school law, to study other
systems, to suggest or introduce reforms, to
imulate interest in his work, to attend
Institutes. to keep himself en- rapport with
teachers and be their adviser and friend
The Office should not be political, nor con-
ferred as 4 reward for partisan services =
The general administration should be on
strictly non-partisan basis and without any
political entanglements. A school officer
or teacher no more thar a juryman should
be chosen for his party relations. Frequent
changes are a serious misfortune; perma-
hence insures experience, Intelligence, and
progress"

Nellie Grants Unhappiness.


The American papers state, I see,
that Mrs. Nellie Grant Sartoris is
talking of returning to the United
States to reside. I hardly think that
she has found England q pleasant
dwelling-place. Her first Impressions
were formed when she visited Europe
as the daughter of the President of
United States, and she was, in cot,se-
quence, caressed and feted wherever
she went. On her return as Mrs. Al
gernon Sartoris she.found things by
no means as brilliant and agreeable.
She had been wild to return to Lon
don, where she had been so superbly
entertained, but London to Mrs. Sar-
toris was not what it had been to
Nellie Grant. In the first place her
father was no longer the President of
the United States and our "Republi-
can Princess" as she used to be called,
was princess no longer, nor was she
welcomed and worshipped as such.
Secondly, she had a mother-in-law-a
lady who was born a Kemble, a fact.
that implies much. It is true that the
elder Mrs. Sartoris did not survive her
sons marriage many years, but after
her death her inconsolable widower
retired to strict seclusion on his coun-
try: estates, taking with hin his son
and daughter-in-law and their chill
dren.- Such an existence can hardly
have been very collaborating or enjoy
able to an American girl, and especially
to one whose girlhood had been pass
ed at the White House as the leading
young lady of American society.

Big Luck.
Wichita Falls (Tex.) Herald. Aug. 8.

It is gratifying to us to note thefact that
Messrs. John Cameron and J. @. Morrison
were the lucky owners of one-fifth ofticket
No. 48, 954 in The Louisiana State Lot
terry which drew the $25, 900 prize in the
Drawing OF July IA. This forever does
away with the reasoning of those crying
fraud, because these gentlemen are too well
known to admit of single thought for a
moment that they would lend themselves
as parties to deceive the public. The fact
is, they held the ticket and it has been
promptly cashed and our good friends
wear broad smiles because of their good
luck. In the face of undisputable facts
some will still doubt that which has been
demonstrated beyond doubt to any rea-
sonable mind. Talk with these gentlemen
and you will then know that The Louisi-
ana ana state Lottery eashes it's drawings ana
them to be lucky. We rejoice with our
good friends and hope that they may again
hold the winning number.
