New Superintendent is Experienced
Educa

The Seattle, Washington, Post INTEL
| igencer of the Sd inst. contained tn,
following relative to the appointment
of Henry B. Dewey, formerly of this
city, as Superintendent of Public In
struction for the State of Washington
Olympia, April 2.-(SpeciaD Henry
B. Dewey, named by Gov. Mead to fill
out the unexpired term of his dead chief
r. B. Bryan, as state superintendent Of
public instruction, has spent practically
his whole lifetime in the teaching pro
fession. Born at Miles, Mich, forty
three years ago, he was educated in the
schools at Hastings, Mich, finishing al
the University of Michigan, from which
he graduated with the class of 1890.
Following his graduation, he was
county superintendent of schools in
Shiawassee county year and then head
ed for the West. Landing in Sumner in
1891, he became principal of the schools
there, serving for two terms. In 1895
he made a trip through Europe. While
he took no course in any educational in
stitution there, his contract with Eu'
ropean methods and standards served tc
broaden his mental vision. Returning
in 1895. Mr.. Dewey went to Tacoma and
became principal of the Franklin school
The next year he had charge of the
Hawthorne building. In 1898 Mr.. Dewey
became county superintendent of schools
in Pierce county, continuing in that of
flee until 1902, when he went back to the
Tacoma schools as principal OF the
Lowell building.
He has for a number of years had
state prominence as an educator and
authority on questions of school admin
istration. In 1904 he was president OF
the state board of education. Long
connected with the State Teachers
Association he served two terms as vice
president and was at the head of the
organization in the year 1904-5.
In 1905 Supt. Bryan appointed Mr..
Dewey deputy, in which capacity he
served till 1907, when, on the death OF
F. M. McCully, he was promoted to the
latters place as assistant superintendent.
That position he has since held. During
that time, owing to the impaired health
of Supt Bryan, Mr.. Dewey has been in
practical charge of the details of the
Office and was left also to handle much
of it's policy. In the past two years he
has visited, in connection with his duties
practically every county in the state,
addressing Institutes and teachers meet
ipgs in all of them.
For year and half Mr.. Dewey was
associated with H. G. Sampson, of the
Washington state college, and A. II.
Yoder, formerly of the University CT
Washington, In the publication of the
Northwest Journal of Education, tc
which he is still a regular contributor
Mr.. Dewey was married in Rome, N.
Y, in 1897, and is the father of two
girls.
Regarding his policy the new super.
intendent said last night it will proba.
bly, be much the same as during the in.
cumbency of Mr.. Bryan. He has not
yet given any thought to the filing OF
the vacancy in the Office caused by hie
eleva ion, nor have any applications
been made as yet.

The main interest in Mondays cleo
ton conferred in the question Of the
adoption of local option in fourteen
counties of the state. in some of which
a most exciting and bitter campaign
had been waged. The returns show
that ten of the fourteen counties voted
for the law and four against. Those
in which the saloon will be abolished
May LIST are: Clinton, Gratiot Barry,
Wexford, Midland, Missaukee, Oceana,
Osceola, Oakland, ST. Joseph; the coun-
ties voting against the law are: Kala-
mazoo, Cass, Grand Traverse and Glad
win. The fight for the law will be
actively pushed all over the state and it
is expected that elections will be held
in q number of the counties at the first
possible date.

County Medical Society Meeting.

on Tuesday evening, April 18th at the
Office of DIR. A. M. Hume. The wealth.
er was exceedingly unpleasant, yet
Notwithstanding the meeting was fair
ly well attended and proved to be very
interesting and instructive.
After the usual routine business was
transacted DR.. Geo. w. Wagner of
Detroit, was INTRODUCED and he read a
splendidly practical paper on Gastric
Ulcers" He described the many con-
ditions which give rise to liberation of

needles, ETC., accidentally swallowed,

that of split pea up to that of TWEEN

not surrounded by any vascularity, but
are clean cut as If struck with stamp
At other times there is thickening,

ly there is but one solitary ulcer, but
sometimes there are two or three or
more.
The most frequent location is in the
posterior part Of the stomach, in the
