Seeking a Superintendent.

In considering candidates or possibilities
for the vacant position of superintendent
of the District schools the committee In
whose hands the matter has been placed
for recommendation viii naturally seek not
merely the most highly gifted educator
and administrator, but the man who can do
most for the public schools of the capitai.
The search should be, and doubtless is. for
the best man, in all the phrase signifies.
This may not be the man with the longest
or most imposing array of initials following
his name. the man with the most impress
sive assortment of recommendations from
other cities. 1t is possible that familiarity
with the local conditions and needs will
offset in the committees judgment and that
of the full board other attractive qualifca-
tions based upon the purely pedagogic as
poets of the position.
1t is gratifying at this juncture to reflect
that the committee does-not lack for local
principals. These men are thoroughly ac-
quainted with the requirements of the
schools They are in particularly close
touch with the largest division of the
work that of the graded schools. 1t is the
chief desire OF the citizens TO strengthen
and develop the public school system
IN the branches of common education, to
make the schools yield their maximum of
results to the largest number. 1t IS possible
that after Canvassing the qualifications of
all available men for the SUPPLEMENTARY
the committee and the board will agree that
q local man is more likely than one brought
from another city to do the work assigned
by the new law.
large business corporatio intent upon
securing the best results, when a vacancy
occurs at the heat of its executive staff
ascertains first if there is not within the
ranks a man who is equipped TO step to the
front and assume the full administrative
responsibility. 1t is only when this chance
fails that the search is extended beyond
the lines of the organization. This should
be the principle upon which the new super
intendent is chosen. weighing against the
best available local man the best available
outsider and regarding familiarity with the
District situation as an asset of first i'm
portance 1t is always to be remembered
that no matter how attractive candidate
or a possibility from another city
may appear on paper. he remains an I'M

The citizens of the District look for

of the schools in every respect and ensure
a peaceful. progressive. constructive period

Oyster Bav Justice.

The day President Roosevelt arrived at
oyster Bay the professional photographers
Hooked TO the scene to obtain negatives
They were Industrious. enterprising and

OF Chief Sloan of the Presidents secret

as the camera man snapped his shutter on

him solid secret-service blow on the jaw
The camera man was aggrieved. He fell
back upon his inalienable rights as a citizen
and filed an information against the secret
service man In Squire Frarklin's court at
Oyster Bay. His fellows scoffed IT him

Independent Journalism.

Samuel Bowles, in North American Review.
The journalist has one client, one patient,
one hock-that Is to say, the whole commu-
nifty; and nothing should stand in the way of
his single-minded and devoted service of
that one common interest. He should be-
ware of all entangling aliiances-political,
social, commercial-which may limit or en-
barrass such service. He should let the
honors and emoluments of public office
go to other people. His own office, IL
properly administered. Is more powerful
than any that his fellow citizens are likely
to confer upon him. The Independent news
paper may be and should be the most vital
and effective instrument that democratic
society can produce for It's own advance
msnt and protection; and its true business
welfare In the long view, lies In a COM
plete. intelligent. sympathetic devotion to
public interests.
