Dakota's school law is subjected to
endless criticism aud unstinted ridIoule.
1t was constructed by saplept provin-
oial publisher OF school book adver-
tising sheet, whose learning in the law
was just sufficient TO make him danger

that the school law is full of torture to
those who are placed under its imposi-

peculiar phases, quoting from Brook

one OF the candidates, and pays one
sixth of ihe taxes of the county, and
still has no voice in the election OF the
officer who examines the teachers of the
city schools, and of whose Halary they
pay large proportion.
OF course the design was to create q
law which would provide for the cleo
tion and compensation of a county
superintendent of public schools by
those whom he served in his official cap
acity. The county superintendent's
vocation lies usually among the country

empt the voters of such Independent
school districts from participating in
the election OF q superintendent OF the
schools in which they had no interest.
Such exemption should of course relieve
the independent district from any shore
in the compensation OF the man who
does not serve 1t. but in its bunQllng
form it aocomplishes only
half its purpose. It appears also thai

Vienna, June l8--Viennsse opinions
of Emperor Williams proolamations are

The Legislature of the territory has q
