Advice to Their Liking.

At one of the women's colleges
dear old gentleman recently made an
address. He is something of a factor
in educational circles and believes
very thoroughly in the future Of the
educated woman-the college woman
in particular-and expressed his belief
in complimentary language on this oc-
casion. He was especially endeavor-
ing to impress his hearers with the
idea that when college days were end
ed they should not be content to rest
on their laurels, but should make it
point to play the part in the world
that is BETTING educated, trained
womanhood.

of their instructors, become fishers

l.. D. Harvey has announced his de
cision not to become a candidate for
the Office Of state superintendent of
schools. He expresses the opinion
that at this, the first election since the
law was amended to provide for the
election of state perintendent in the
spring, man should be selected who
would be absolutely free from political
influences. Mr.. Harvey, who was for
merly state superintendent, fears that
if he were to be candidate, political
influences would be brought to bear
to accomplish his defeat and bad pre-
'cedent would be established The
purpose of changing the time of the
election of State superintendent was to
remove the selection of incumbent from
partisan politics.

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY %, 1905.

At the coming spring election the
voters Of jefferson county outside of
our city will be called upon to re-elect
a county superintendent Of schools 80
succeed John A. Hasnlwood. The office
Of superintendent has justly been
e minated from partisan politics, and
the election changed to time when
the merits of the various candidates
will more fully appeal to the voters.
We understand there are a
number of candidates in the field for
the Office, among whom is Mr.. Hasel-
wood, the present incumbent. With
out any eXaggeration we can say that
to Mr.. Haselwood's entiring efforts more
than to any other cause. is due the
present high standard of our county
schools. Mr.. Haselwood ranks high
as an educator. and his work certain
ly comm ends the goodwill of those oil
our citizens who have the prosperity
of our equity schools at heart.
