TEE SCHOOL SUPERINTEND-
- ENCY-ITs DIGNITY AND
TRUE WORTH.

8. II. Edmunds. Superintendent Sum-
ter City Schools.
school superintendency Is being
rapidly recognized as a distinct profess
sion--a profession whose requisites
are sufficiently unique to separate IL
from other professions and sufficient
iy peculiar to differentiate II from
other phases of the teaching profess
sion.
A superintendency is not only a pro-
fession; but dlgnihed one using
dignity In Its primary significance.
The profession Il I'm all respects n
worthy one: the superintcndent's duty
is tn make himself altogether orthy
Of the profession. To become a SUI
perintcndent Of schools Is to assume
Self-imposed obligation that Is
mighty and binding. There is no pro-
fcssion that makes more imperative
demands OF It's members. At our an
nual conventions II Is fitting that We
should take stock OF our character
ssse,s sad. liabilities to ascertain our
contributions of personality to the
wer,hiness OF our profession and.
aimee this worthiness depends upon
che. worthiness of the individual mem
Der. this taking Of stock becomes a
personal question and resolves Itself
thus: What are we contributing in
olvidualiy to our profession to make Il
altogether worthy and wholesomeiy
effect tive In Its inhuence?" Tho value
Of our contributions Of influence will
depend upon the personality back Of
them. AS man purposeth In his
heart so IL he" and as he is-provid-
ed he Is worthy-should become
those whose lives he daily touches.
The problem before us finds Its soiu-
tion I'm the great law OF suggestion. IL
We shah consider earnestly this law
and the great obligations thae II i'm
poses upon us We shall be able to
com prehend the dignity and true worth
OF cur distinctive profession and shall
be Impressed. I trust. with the ab-
solute necessity Of a worthy person
slity in one who seeks to make his
profession, worthy.
The Law. Of suggestion Is universal
ly peryasive. IL is true that one Of
our English poets has sung

A yellow primrose is To him
And u Is nothing more.
A tall old house with windows dim.

ELECTRICITY AT BALL GAME.

ELECTRICITY AT BALL GAME.
The new baseball park of the
Boston Americans is equipped with
the very latest electrical apparatus for
scoring the game and for distributing
the story of the contest to the city
and to all parts of the country Be-
hind the left fielder's territory and
opposite the grandstand and pavilion
a large score board is operated cleo
trically from a signaling desk in the
press box, located in the center of
the main stand and at the highest
point In the structure. Every ball,
strike-out and batter number are reg
istered on the score-board by the sim
pie act of pressing a push-5utton In
the desk set, which contains twenty
three keys, twenty-three signaling
buttons, an operators telephone set
and a generator circuit The indicat-
ors in the field score-board are actual
ed by electromagnetic, fourteen dry
cells normally being used in the trans
hitting circuits. A telephone Is also
provided at the score board itself for
use in setting up the score of innings.
| The press box also contains plug
switchboard and circuits for sixteen
telegraph instruments, including
wires for the local press and foreign
service. The features OF the game are
recounted by telegraph even for down
town papers, the contention being that
greater speed and accuracy are OBJ
| tanned than with telephone. Direct
wires are In service between Boston
and the home city OF the visiting
team at all games. Rubber-covered
wires run in twisted pairs are used
in the press box service. Although the
| telephone is not used to any extern
in newspaper reporting of the game

oLD.TtME RALLY.

Torcblight parade, big bands, pa
rade Of streets transparencies carried
aloft, banners and much shouting,
then the speaking and great applause
for the candidate!
Anything of that sort would be
reminder of old times, suggestion of
the old Blaine days, and wouldn't it
be decided novelty in the campaign
of 1912 much advertised as the acme
of apathy?
But that is just a fair description
of a big republican rally in Iowa this
very month. Let it not be said the
| voters of Iowa are indifferent, at
! least not the farmer voters. What

ed dust of two decades in the hay loft

what is happening.
The torchilght parade of 1912 was
at Radcliffe. an enterprising town in
the heart of a rich agricultural region
on the Short Line" in Hardin county.
Radcliffe advertised It as "republi-
can rally" and people smiled; but

{ that it deserved the name.

ty, Respects its Traditions and
Reveres Memory Of
Its Leaders

The ownership of the Chicago In

| follows:
The undersigned again assumes
control Of the Inter-Ocean after
lapse of eighteen years, during which
time there have been several changes
of management.
Naturally, the readers of the paper
constitute its treasury of good will
and may expect something more than
this brief announcement, and they are
assured:
i The Inter-Ocean will be a newspap-
er in every sense of the word, printing
all the news that should be printed in
a family newspaper.
The opinions of the editor will ap-
pear only on the editorial page, where
they belong.
The Inter-Ocean VIII be republican,
because it believes in the principles
|of the republican party, respects its
Traditions. reveres the memory of its
lgreat leaders, and sincerely believes
that this great party has not outlived
its usefulness, and that, under the
i leadership of patriotic, unselfish men,
IL will still be the party of progress
and sanity.
The Inter-Ocean will be independent

ACTIVITIES.
There are, have been and will be,
While men are only men, and women
likewise,
Who cannot close their eyes
To those who do attract them.
! /
The world hot scorns the ones
Who yield to nature-given impulse
And seek where kindred chords are
met,
Regardless of conventions
Conventions, aye the flimsy rules
Which bind the consciences Of those
Who fam would rightly live
Fen while the lone heart breaks!
Martyrs to the sense inbred
OF obligations grown from prior
rights,
Affinities grope wildly
For escape, and still be true
Harsh is the Judgment OF the ones,
Themselves untried, who pass upon
The acts OF those who trespass
'Gainst the rules established.
Yet in the great release that comes
To every restless, throbbing heart
Each in the wondrous reals beyond
May find its life, its love, its very
own.
And thus, oh lady fair. call to thee
Fen tho my lips are sealed;
and tho the multitude may hear,
TITS thou alone wilt understand.
