CITIZENS SCHOOL TICKET. For Members of the Board: THOMAS O'BRIEN,
 H. H. STRONG,
 PHILO s. BENNETT
 CHARLES E. GRAVES.
Saturday, September 1e, 1885.
TWO VIEWS.

TWO VIEWS.
 Our readers may be tired of reading what the able and astute young superintendent of the New Haven Board of Education thinks about managing the Board, but we think it best to still further call attention to some of his ideas, in order that the people of this city may reslize what his plans are and may also realize what the citizens school ticket means.
 It will be remembered that the young man admitted that superintendent cannot, as a rule, nominate his personal friends or those who are known to favor his pet schemes. Please mark the words 'tas rule'' and s'are known" But what does he intend to do after he gets Board that suits hima Hear him: "There are two sides to the relation we are considering. The first view presents the superintendent as subordinate, acting un- der instructions, and executing the wish of his superiors. The second reveals him as a leader, having a well-defned policy, and losing no opportunity of persuading the Board to embrace his views, so that the hopes and ideals which he cherishes are at length assimilated by them and become the guiding principle of their ac- tion. Here two elements in the superin- tendency-strict subord ination and rec ognized leadership-are not only essential, but entirely consistent with each other. The plans of superintendent should reach forward through series of years and aim at definite results. Frank statements made to the Board regarding the scope of tn at plan, with explanations as to ths difficulties to be overcome, supplemented by private inter views wherein objections are squarely met and advice is gratefully received, will go far toward establishing that confidence which 8 board needs to have in it's executive officer" 7"
 This is plausible, like most that the young man says and writes. But he has 'revealed" himself as having too much confidence in the "second view" It is to be hoped that he may soon feel inclined to pay more atten- tion to the ''first view" He will find, sooner or later, that there is 8 strong prejudice in New Haven against too much of the ''sec- ond view"

 Drunkenness is now said to be conta- gious disease. This is no new discovery, however. It has long been known that a man returning home perfectly sober after doing the town with some boon companions is pretty sure to catch it from his wife when he gets into the house.-Somerville Journal.

An Outside View of Our School Ques
 ton.
From the Hartford Telegram ]

The people of New Haven are somewht t agitsted over their public school manage ment. The schools of the city are governed by Board of Education, and there is a gen. eral superintendent. It is charged that the superintendent is running the schools to suit his own sweet will, and that he has 8 major ity of the members of the Board of Education under his lily white hand. The same super intendent recently contributed an article to Q magazine on school matters, in which he argued that the superintendent should be boss and at the proper time should be called upon to name the members of the school board. He intended to try his hand at this autocratic business this fall, but the citizens Iebelled, met in conclave and nomi- mated ticket reaecting the public sentiment
 The superintendent hustled around and en- deavored to collect money to boost q ticket of his own, but when the citizens ticket ap- peared he made no headway, as no decent taxpayer could find fault with 1t. The chances are that the citizens ticket will be elected without opposition. This revolt against ring rule Is good thing for the New Haven schools. For years the Board of Education in New Haven has been Q self-perpetuating machine. The Board nominated the ticket and the employees of the school district did the work on elestion day. This year the cit izens have taken hand, and with such a promise of success that ring rule is doomed.

 The manufacture of cotton-seed oil has grown to be quite an important and prosper ous industry. The oil seems to find readier market in foreign countries than in the United States. During the seven months ending August the exports were 4, ,463, ,962 gallons, valued at $1 1928, TIT, against 2,219,- 562 gallons, valued at s97s, ,926, for the cor responding time in 1884. The production, however, is keeping up with the demand and new processes of crushing the seed enable producers to get better yield. The seed, which few years ago was counted as value less to planters, now sells for $10 to $12 per ton and the oil is worth from 30 to 33 cents per gallon. After the oil is expressed the dry remainder is of value as food for cattle.
 A correspondent of the San Francisco Bull letin says that Brigham Young, jr., and his agents are busy perfecting arrangements for Mormon colonization i'll Mexico, and that, too, within the zone where foreigners are prohibited from acquiring real estate. They lease lands for ninety-nine years and intro duce clause by which the lands are to be re- leased to the assignees or their heirs at the expiration of the lease for trifing sum. Had they selected land in Mexico beyond the zone they could have secured better land and better terms, and the inference is that they desire to erect territory of their own be- tween Mexico and the United States whereby they may, in the event of the American pur- chase of the northern States of Mexico, have a location outrivalling that of Salt Lake.

 Some time ago we announced that we had been large buyers of Flannels at the great Auction Sale held in New York, and that in due season we would place them on sale. Could the manufacturers have foreseen the turn the market would take, we think there would have been no auction sale. Wool has ad- vanced, is advancing, and will still more advance. Flannels have advanced. But having said we would give our custom CTS the advantage of our pur- chase we mean to do it. This week, next week and all through September, we shall offer Elan nels at prices it would simply be impossible to make if we had to purchase now.
