Position Is Not Permanent.

''Shan these matters be referred to the super
irtendent Of public instruction with power to
act? Our present honored incumbent of that i'm
portant office has publicly stated that the office
does not, the country over, attract the best
educational talent. Among the reasons given
by him is the fact that the tenure is not secure.
1t depends, not upon his qualifications, nor upon
his popularity at home or thruout the state,
but upon the political situation in his county,
whose support he must have in the state con-
vention.
''What is the dominant political sentiment in
the counties generally in the state7 Is 1t not
this, that the good things must be passed around
so that all :.the boys shall have their share,
and that anyone is hog who expects more
than two terms? What can anyone accomplish

Would Reorganize Board.

The organization of the state high-schooi
board has been fruitful subject of controversy
FOR years. The board at present constituted
consists Of the governor. the state superintend-
emit and the president Of the university. Advo-
oates Of a change hold that such board is
not sufficiently representative of the various
educational interests of the state. The present
plan is defended on the ground that the normals
and other special schools maintained by the
state are not, in any proper sense, part Of
the high-school system. and that If there Is to
be uniformity and logic in the arrangement of
khe school work the high schools and the uni
versfty must be considered as one,, while the
normals are schools existing, not for the pur-
pose of preparing young and women for
high school or university work, but to prepare
hem for the work of teaching in the common
schools. -
The function of the Agricultural college is
held to be Of a special character and of such
nature that the work of the high schools
should not be planned to lead up to it, This
Is held to be the case with the manual training
school and with such other schools of a special
character the state sees fit to maintain
Generally speaking, the advocates of the pres
emit system hold that the high schools and the
university engaged in the work of educa-
