Merely technical qualifications should
not take precedence of actual fitness to
serve the State; but that fault has crept
into several pieces of legislation during
the past six years.-4Moryan City Outlook.
The technical qualification" ruse was
adopted by the Department of Education
and Politics of louisiana about six years
ago to advance the political interests of the
head of that department at that time, and
technical qualifications have been in
the saddle ever since. Hence the schools
in politics, the increase in the salary of
the State Superintendent of Education
from $4,000 to $1,000; the textbook out
rage; undemocratic school laws and the
one-man power in our school system
throughout the State. Great are "tech-
nical qualifications in covering the de-
signs of an office-seeking demagogue.
