ton Of the home paper. 1t occupies a
place that no other publication can fill

STUDENTS SUSPENDED FOR
HAZING.

Seventeen students of Richmond
College were last Wednesday suspen-
ded for hazing. The hazing, it is
claimed, consisted OF toe-pulIing. l
is pub icly stated that it so happened
that Rev. j. w. 7. Mcneil, who fills
some pulpits up tbs country on Sun
days, witnessed the proc edings and
"bew" on the boy, giving twelve of
their names to the president. These
twelve were summoned before the fac
ulty, and, after tin evidence in the
affair was taken, that body decided TO
suspend them for three days. This
decis on created a stir that resulted in
the hol1ing of a mass meeting,in which
it was decided to axe action in de ense
Of the twelve boys who had been ,us-
pended and five others who had vol
unfairly given in their names as par
Elephants in the hazing. The faculty

OOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Mr.. EDITOR:

Mr.. EprroR:
In a recent copy Of your excellent
paper in an article headed "Retrench
ment," the author proposes to do away
with The Office Of County Superinten'
dent Of Schools, and place the govern
l1ent of our schools entirely in the
hands OF "District School Boards" In
what way this change of authority
would lessen the expenses of running
the school we can not see.
II is not to be suppo ed that tn e
"School Board" would be willing to
add to their own obligations the work
assigned to the Superintendent with
out additional pay. So there are seven
districts in our county, compare i've
ly small increase in the pay Of each
Board" would amount to equally a.
much, if not more than the salary paid
to the Superintendent.
On the othor hand II our "Dlstr,ct
Boar I were removed and our school
government were placed IN the ba" d.
of the County Superintendent, with
the help of advisory Boards" cleo
ted yearly by the patrons of each
school. The number Ct which would
serve gratuiously, fully half OF the
money now pa d to school officers could
be saved for educational purposes.
1t i, true that our Superintendent
could afford to do more work for the
pay he receives than is now required
of him, and would, I doubt not, do all
that the law might require without
any additional pay, but, if the law as
signs certain duties 10 other officers it
is not fair to expect one m, n to inter-
fere with the work of another, so long
as he is not required to do 80
As 10 compulsory attendance; if the
School Board would grant the reason
able request of patrons and assign 10
'ur schools, only those who are thor
'ughIy qualified to teach, there would
70 no need for law compelling regu-
ar attendance,
