IT is almost certain that the vigorous
attitude which Theodore Roosevelt has
taken against the German-American peo-
pie in connection with the war in Europe
that their support of his candidacy for
President will be an uncertain factor to
deal with especially in some of the
States where the German vote is large,
and it would be wisdom for the party to
nominate Justice Hughes under the cir
cumstances, to pacify the differing fac
tions but, the man who stands in the
forefront as a real American real Ameri-
can interests can always be certain as TO
where he stands on all questions touch
ing the rights and privileges, and who is
willing to fight to the last ditch for those
rights, is Theodore Roosevelt. We are
not all perfect, and each makes mistakes
which in after life are corrected, and the
is one of all of the people
who is not infallible by any means, but
he is the strongest character now before
the people, and his Americanism is not
questioned. It is going to take strong as
we'll as a wise man to steer the United
States through the next four years, and
ior that reason the nomination at Chicago |
iext week will be looked for with deep |
interest of ali the people.

The STATE BOARD OF
EDUCATION To The PUBLIC

Betterment of public school condition.
is to be undertaken for the entire State
To effect these betterments laws will b,
proposed for enactment by the next leg
islature. To secure the passage of thess
laws there will be required the interest
and support of our citizens and tax-pay.
ers. To inform the public definitely
about these proposals, to make clear Just
what is to be asked for and to show Just
what changes are contemplated, is the
purpose of this series of newspaper arti-
cles. Later these newspaper articles are
to be gathered up into circulars or bulle-
tins and sent to Parent Teacher Associa-
tions, to Oranges, to the Women S Clubs,
and to every other forum that affords
chance for free and open discussion of
these problems.
Whatever opinion and sentiment can
be aroused in this way it is expected
will be manifested and expressed by dis
cussion, by joint resolutions and by
newspaper contributions. If any large
force Of sentiment be thus developed, il
will readily be united into an intelligent
and substantial demand for the improve
ments advocated. The existence Of such
a demand, and its expression in unmi
table ways, will be sure to secure a re-
spectful hearing snd a considerable re-
cognition by the Legislators.
The study of school conditions for a
number of years has supplied informa-
ton upon which certain proposals for
new laws are based. With this know
ledge of conditions the State Board has
combined good intent when framing the
proposals. The full confidence and in
terest of every citizen of the State is
earnestly requested for this effort. To
these proposals of the State Board of
Education it is desired to Join the best
thought of other equally alert, interested |
and devoted citizens. The separate pro-
posals as chosen by the Board, will be |
submitted to the public for consideration,
for criticism, for discussion and for ad- |
ditioual suggestions. 1t is now, when |
changes are to be made, that the Board |
wishes to receive helpful proposals and |
suggestions. Some excel
ent suggestions have already been re-
,eived, and more are cordially invited.
One at a time, in short newspaper
lrticles the proposals will be stated and
explained. Following the appearance of
Zach proposal in the papers, questions
md discussion will surely be welcomed
~ the newspapers. Following the ap-
of the proposals in the papers
hey will be sent to educational organ
Lations for reading and discussion in
pen meetings. Thus the Boards edu-
ational program should be fully known
nd appreciated throughout the State.
.hus opinion can be intelligent and de-
ided. Thus Legislators may be precisely
informed as to the wishes of their con-
tituents. Thus will our school legisla-
ion be government of the people, by
be people, for the people"

Secretary of State Board of Education.
