Among the really worthy meas
,Ircs before the Missouri Lcgisla-
turc, the bill providing for travel

county superintendent of schools
is one which carries the convic-
ton that it should become u law.
The duties OF the county superin-
tendent of schools requires his abb

time during the school period and
while the efficiency Of that office
lies largely in the careful attcn.
ton to a multitudinous mass of
detail he must either necessarily
slight his office work or employ
clerical help at his own expense.
Tic duties Of that office require
also tina! the schools Of the coun-
ty be visited and inspected and
the superintendent must give to
this his personal attention. The
office Of County Superintendent
Of Schools is indisputably one Of
the most important Of county Off

cumbcnt must be qualified to rem

At least two bills before the

Condemned Horses Burned

W. w. Freeman, deputy range quarantine officer, superintended the job of burning fifty-nine head of con- demned horses at Snowflake recently. It required one hundred cords of wood and fifty gallons of oil. Some of the animals had been condemned and killed by government inspectors on ac- count of dourine. Some of the ami mals were registered bloods and valued very highly. The appraised valuation was by direction of the government officials and the United States stands ready to pay one-half of the appraised valuation provided the state of Arizona will pay the other half. The matter has been re- ferred to the Arizona legislature.
