When Charles w. Cole died last year,

had held before him for a long period
OF years.
Notwithstanding that life tenure is
by no means an accepted principle in
American school systems. the aver
age term of school superintendents in
larger cities is much longer than is
usually supposed. In fifty cities OF

age term of service is seven and one
half years. This is in spite of the fact
that the school superintendents are
elected for comparatively short terms,
one. two and three years. generally,
and to have served long usually means
to have withstood many a stiff re-
election contest. The tendency is
constantly toward longer terms and
fixed tenure as conducive to eaaeaencE.

If the dog should get sick and there
should be any question as to what its
true condition is, il is then time enough
to kill it and have the head removed
(removing a few inches of the neck at
the same time) and this specimen
should be sent to the nearest labora-

THE board of health has ade ar
to furnish to physicians
these cases the Pasteur
