among the various acts, and to in
troduce simplicity, harmony and
completeness by making the parts
conform to the general principle
of organization of the entire sys-
tenn. Here perhaps, we come upon
the real difficulty.
AS constructed, law after law
from 1929 up to 1911, the ruling
idea and purpose was to leave as
much power and authority in the
trust Of local School Committees
and to put as little as possible into
the trust of any central Board or
authority. The Act of 1911, by
which the State Board was recon-
structed, marks the definite begin
ming of the policy of putting into
trained and experienced hands
those duties and Offices which
should be performed by some one
specially trained and experienced
in that kind of duty. The act
creating the Office of Commissioner
of Education is a still further ap-
plication of the principle of
authority centered and power
| placed in the hands of a central
body, to fix rules and regulations
in matters where special know
ledge and skilled judgment are
needed. This does not mean that
all power and authority shall be
taken from the local districts or
from the local School Committees.
J All matters which can and may be
decided by the common sense of
the average citizen, can and should
be left to the local Commissioners ::
all matters requiring special know
ledge, skill, training or experience
should be put into hands having
this knowledge, skill, training or
experience. The harmony which
needs to be worked out, therefore,
is to bring the laws passed before
1911 into relation, agreement and
cOngruence with the new principle
recognized and established when
the acts of 1911 and 1913 were
made law, and put over the entire
system central authority with
power to regulate in matters re-
curing expert knowledge and skill
The laws passed before that date
practically assumed that one man!
opinion or judgment is as good a!
another's; this is one of the serious
weaknesses of democracy. w,

Have you ever met the man who has

has completed his work and laid by
his tools, but one who has given up

fails to meet his engagements. He
sidetracks at every switch to let the
other fellows train pass. The fire in
his engine dies out and he has no
steam to run to the next station.
He joins a political party and loudly
proclaims his allegiance to it's prinel-
pies, but before the time comes to
vote he quits, swearing that things
are not running as they should and he
can no longer affiliate.
He joins a church and thinks he has
religion, but in a short time, some
member does something at which he
takes offense-the preacher says some
thing that does not meet his APPROX
al, or the choir does not sing to suit
him, so he quits and denounces the
whole thing as unfit for sensible peo-
pie
The affairs OF the nation are not
conducted according to his plans, and
unless a change is made to suit his
notions, he intends to quit the coun.

things exist. He talks the same about
state and municipal affairs.
He joins a lodge, blackballs many
