impresses my mind very favor.
ably indeed. 1t is brimful OF
good, common sense and logic.
There are a lew salient points,
however, untouch, d so far, which
/ would like to call attention to,
with the hope that it may induce
Tutor to expatiate upon them in
next issue, as | believe a full
discussion of this subject may
lead to some good results.
The firat is concerning the
present mode of choosing, or ap-
pointing, should say, our trus-
tees. | believe this is one of the
most fundamental points of the
whole subject. The present ar.
rangement is, in my opinion,
defective and unsatisfactory, for
the simple reason uninterested
and incompetent men are too
often appointed for these respon.
sible positions. | believe the law
should be changed, 80 as to al.
low the patrons of each school
district to elect their trustees,
who should hold office for a
stated period. Such a bill was
introduced, l understand, at the
last session of legislature, but.
unfortunately, it met with same
fate as did number Of other
good bills. If we could get, in
every instance, men as trustees
VINO have a deep interest in edu-
calional affairs, men who have
chlldre n Of their own attending
these public schools, a general
revival would ensue and many
needed reforms would be the in
evitable result. | do not mean TO
convey the idea that we Do not
get some good men by the pres
ent arrangement, because we do,
bu' 1t is not as satisfactory as it
should be. Men are too often ap-
pointed who are not in any wise
suit able. Some have no children
to educate, aud it is not natural
for them to take as much inter.
est In every detail as the man
who has. We cannot be too par
ticuIar about choosing these
trustees, because if they do not
manifest very great interest in
their school how could it be ex.
pected OF teachers 10 do so?
The second point | wish 10
mention is the frequent chang
ing of text books. Why do not
the trustees and teachers get to-
gether and ADOPT a set of books,
which they can stick 70 for a
number Of years, and abolish the
changing OF books every time
there is a change in teachers =?
Tkis frequent changing entails
too great expense upon large
families many OF whom cannot
, afford it. The elder child should,
upon passing up to next grade,
turn it's books over to a younger
brother or sister, and so on. This
would result in a very apprecia

INSURANCE men
Flock to Albany, n. y, for
the Great Hearing.
Their First Chance to Express
Their Opinions on Bills
Framed by Committee Which Recently
Completed Investigation.

Albany. n. Y, March 9.-Probably
never before has more remarkable
gathering of life insurance men been
assembled under single roof than
that assembled Friday IN the state
capitol in connection with the hearing
on the pending amendments to the in
surance law. The hearing on the bills
was had before The joint special ]egis-
lativc investigation committee which
drew upon itself last fall tho attention
of the entire civilized world by it's
ruthless and increasingly sensational
exposures of nuny of the conditions
surrounding the business of life insur-
ance as carried On IN this state.
Fridays bearing was the first public
opportunity Of the insurance companies
to express themselves upon the pro-
visions OF the ten bills presented by
result OF its investigation and the great
land small companies concentrated
powerful personnel upon the OCCASION
Arrangements had been made for Il
very large attendance and as early as
Thursday afternoon it became evident
that tho great GROVE! of insurance men
coming i'll on every train would tax to
the utmost the capacity of the big AS
sembly chamber. Thursday night the
corridors of the hotels suggested the
night before a great political conven-
ton.
Many radical changes in the state
insurance laws and kindred statutes
are proposed in the ten bills under con-
sider:i ton. \ resume of these bills has
already been published in these dis
patches.
President Paul Morton of the Equitable
Life Assurance Society was the first
speaker. He presented a communication
in which he began by admitting that Sc
rious evils had crept into the insurance
business and by assuring the committee
that he was in accord with it's general
purposes. He said, however, that if those
bills were enacted without change it
| would seriously injure the insurance in
tereSts of the state.
Mr.. Morton then took up the changes
in the bills he would suggest. In brief,
he believed that with certain qualifica-
tons insurance companies should be al
lowed the same latitude in the matter of
| investments as heretofore.
