A PLEA FOR THE TRUSTEE.


The Duties of this Officer Described and
Comparedswith Those of Other Officers.
To THE EDIToR-Sir: can do nothing
but congratulate THE SENTINEL for the fair
treatment it accords the advocates and
opponents of every question of interest
that arises nowadays for the considera-
ton of the public and our law makers
now in session.
There are several bills in each branch
of the legislature to add more duties to
the now overloaded office of township
trustee. The duties of the office have
been increased at each session of the leg
islature with no corresponding increase OF
pay trustee now has the entire town
ship affairs to look after, such as
wood, or coal, for schools, the en-
poving of competent theachers, Wis
iting the schools. looking after
the school-houses, seeing that they
are kept in proper repair, from one year
to the other, keeping the school-house
fences in shape, the pumps in order, and
the teacher in necessary supplies; looking
after bitches, roads, bridges, institutes,
election OF county superintendent, cleo
ton boards, and hundred minor m alters
that come up at every turn, that but lew
people ever lllASlne ARISE. n trustee
looks after and properly attends to the en-
tire business of a township for the paltry
sum of s. a day. Now, If the leg
islature has a reform freak TO cut, it ought
TO look beyond poor trustees salary to cut
it. The majority, by far, of the trustees in
Indiana are farmers and are men who
stand well in their neighborhood, as the
lines were drawn very Tight asst April when
they were elected. AS they now hold
their Office for four years, the people
looked well at the men they were called
upon to vote for. and in many instances
surprises were presented to candi-
dates, as a result of determination
upon the part of the voters
to elect good, honest men who were
fitted for the position. Does any member
OF the legislature, of whom many are farm
ers, begrudge the trustees of Indiana, nine

REPLY TO PATRON.
A Suggestion that County Superintendent
BE Elected by the People.

A Suggestion that County superintendents
BE Elected by the People.
To THE EDIToR-,Sir: Replying to
Patrons" letter from Princeton relative
to the proposed bills now before the gen.
eral assembly providing for the election of
county superIntendents by the people, l
beg leave to honestly differ with Patron"
in this matter. He deplores the idea OF
electing that officer by the people, for the
reason, as he says, that it would drag the
schools into dirty politics. wish to ask
Patron" how much lower can he get the
officer of county super intendent into local
politics than at present, for the Office of
township trustee, one OF the most import
ant trusts TO the taxpayers, is almost
wholly made the political fight on &C
count OF the superintendent. Many times
men are nominated for this important Of
fee who are wholly unfit for the position,
simply because they are popular can be
elected and get vote for superintendent,
and who, by reason of their
unfitness or disqualification for the
position, almost bankrupt the town
ship by their extravaganza and
thus burden the taxpayers, all because
vote mas Deen mauo lot some POLITICAL
friend for county superintendent. Be
sides, by law the superintendent is made
the overseer and supervisor of our schools
and trustees, and let us imagine the farci-
cal spectacle of a superintendent checking
the destructive path of a trustee on whom
he relies for reelection. 1t is the trustees
office that is mostly needed to be divorced
from politics in order TO save the money
of the taxpayers. We want our best
men for township trustees, regardless of
politics, and by passing law requiring
the superintendent to be elected by the
people we will have taken away all poll
tics from the trustees office and then the
best man can be elected. 1 believe in the
people electing all officers. About the
only common sense that our republican
supreme court has shown itself to possess
is its decision making the state geologist
and statistician elective by the people. /,
for one, believe in the wisdom and good
judgment of the people. /, as well as the
people who elected him, favor the passage
of the bill introduced by Representative
James T. Moss. making the county super
intendent's term of office four years, max
ing females eligible and making the Office
elective by the people =.

AnIncIdent in Science.

The first brain received by the newly
formed Anthropometric Society was that
of the president of the society, the dis
tinguished Professor Leidy, and next
that of his hardly less distinguished
brother, DIR. Joseph Leidy, both of whom
died about the same time, and both
of whom wihed their brains to the socie-
ty. The object of the society is to de-
termine what difference there is between
the brains Of men eminent for intellect
ual or moral attainments and of those
not noted for either. The old idea that
a big brain is a sign OF great mental
strength has long been abandoned. Ig-
norant criminals have had greater brain
mass than Daniel Webster. So far, it is
said, science has been unable to find any
difference in the tissues Of the brains OF
these different classes. One of the special
points in the examination OF the brains
of these brothers will be careful micro
scopic study Of the gray matter. Their
brains weighed exactly the same, and
again disproving the old idea were under
the average. The inquiry is of singular
interest and Importance. One Of the
most incisive assaults made on the doc
trine of evolution is by the German Weiss
mann, who holds that acquired charac-
teristics cannot be transmitted. In that
view there can have been no such pro-
gression OF the race as the evolutionists
teach. There can have been no accumu-
lation Of mental and moral powers to de-
scend from parents to children. In the
investigation the utmost will be done to
discover similarities which will show .
family trait. II the endeavor should be
euccessful it will go far to show that &C.
ouired characteristics are transmissible.
and that the evolutiouists are right in
pointing, for instance, to tho German
skill in music and the French slEill in art
as evidence OF the truth Of this theory q
trapsmissibility.-Pitfsb'rg 1smes.
