SUPERINTENDENT FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS
WILL BE ELECTED ON FEBRUARY 2i, IS THE ANNOUNCEMENT
 OF THE SCHOOL BOARD
Many Applications for the Place and There Will no Doubt be Many Ballots Taken Before
 This Election.

Pursuant to voluntary promise 10 the people that the date on which it's election of superintendent of the city schools for the coming year would be publicly announced, the school board yesterday authorized the announcement that the election would be held on February 21. 1913, or the Friday before Washington's birthday anniversary.
 The election will be held in the school board rooms of the high school building, and the meeting will prob ably open about 7:30 o'clock in the evening. The public will not be bar red from attendance.
 Some time ago when the matter of the election of superintendent for the coming scholastic year was under consideration great deal of public campaigning was done in behalf ot some of the applicants, and this was not taken appreciatiyely by the board, which assumed that campaigns for such place should not be conduct ed along political lines.
 The board at that time stated it would not elect superintendent un- til 1t got ready, but that a public an nonncement would be made Presi- dent Dr. Linda H. Barry of the board yesterday stated this date had been agreed on.
 There are a number of applicants for the position, for the most pat educators from other colleges and uiyersities and schools, who desire to have this place. The applications have all received careful considera- ton by the members of the board. There are six members of the board and 1t requires four to elect. and t is probable that several ballots will be taken before any election is made

When Enuland Was Drunken,

In an article in the London Lancet II

draws this picture Of conditions in
England before 1t became "a sober ma
ton" In those days the doctor was
often half seas over when he attended
his drunken patient: Judge. counsel and
attorneys pursued their avocations IN
court In Il prevailing atmosphere Of hot
coppers. The prime minister went
drunk to the house of commons. where
he was attacked by the leader of the
opposition. also drunk. while order was
kept by speaker who was half seas
over. There was no excise on spirits.
and the coarser kinds of distilled
liquors were ridiculously cheap. As
you passed along the by streets OF Lon
don, and perhaps Of other great cities,
you might read the legend hung out
over the drink cellars. Here you may
get drunk for penny; dead drunk and
