A'A school election for many years. The choice

School elections" for many years in this city have
been melancholy farce and everybody has understood
that they were more than formaties The trustees
have really been appointed by the head Of the dominant
political organization without the saving grace Of
sponsbiity attaching to the appointment. The fact
that on the whole, the personnel of the board has
tended IN recent years to become somewhat in
dependent and less political than formerly, does not
change the fact that the appointments nominations
invariably made upon political considerations with
view to Strengthening factional organization. Ap
p0nees sometimes decided fulfil the duties Of their
office and put politics aside, but such quickly be
unpopular within the organization, and of
them found conditions Of public service under such
conditions too unpleasant to be tolerable.
With the election Of a majority Of the board made
