 From the Florence Times: Alabama peo- pie are being generally aroused in favor of better schools and better roads, Both questions deserve all the consideration they are receiving.
 From the Huntsville Tribune: The people of Alabama are waking up on the subject of education, and they are going to have better public schools, with six to eight months terms instead of the measly pitt tance of three months.
 From the Tallapoosa New Era Search the woods over, and one wouldn't find an- other public school system just like that prevailing in Alabama and some other southern states and we honestly believe that all right-thinking people will bear us out in our estimate of the same.
 From the Jasper Mountain Eagle: Better roads and better schools should be the bat tie cry of the next state campaign.
 From the Talladega Mountain Home: The Birmingham Age-Herald makes a very sen- sible and opportune plea for the betterment of the public schools in the rural districts of Alabama, which have undoubtedly suf- fered from the process of specialization into centers that has characterized the past few decades.

It is of vast importance in Alabama that we select the right man for the office of Superintendent of Education. We want an educator, one who holds education above petty politics.
