should be different from any other
occupation or business. and 1t is gen.
orally considered that men in 9TH
er occupations. particularly the pre-
fessions, do not attain their best
service until they near the age Of 80
years. This Is especially true where
the gratest intellectual activity is re-
CURED. Few judges of the supreme
courts, especially the United States
supreme court. receive their appoint
ments until after they become SO
years of age. The Limitation of the
age of 35 years to the qualifications
of president is a wise one, if there
were eve any danger of a younger
man being selected. The average age
of our presidents is considerably over
so years, while that of the judges
of the supreme court is probably
nearer 60 years.
There is no more reason why a
superintendent of schools should NOT
have a normal amount OF sleep which
is considered to be eight hous, than
a man in any other business. There
is something radically wrong with
any business which would not per-
NIT a man to sleep more than six
hours. If that should be The critic
rion, however. there is among the
applicants for the local position a
man between so and 60 years OF age
who could put many of the young fei-
lows under 40 out of business If it
came to hard work and long hours.
Chicago has elected a woman as eu-
perintendent who is 65 years old and
she seems to be filling the position
satisfactorily. What could a young
miss of 35 do in her place?

other lines requiring strenuous phys

I hardly think that men in other yo-
cations, especially those of an intel
lectual nature. are willing to be laid
on the shelf or Oslerized so early.
1.-The requirements for the superlu-
tendency Of our schools depend,
however, more on the man himself
than his particular age, in my opin-
ion. Some men might be qualified
at 40, some at so and others at so
years, while others never would be
qualified. Other things being equal,
1 should prefer a younger man, but
simply because he has a longer pc
Rod of service before him."
