term of four years. The only quail
fications required of the individual
who is to direct the education of the
children Of the state are that he must
be "a citizen of the United States and
a qualified elector of this state.''
No educational qualifications are
required. The state superintendent.
of public instruction may not have
completed the elementary grades of
the common schools, he may not have
taught school a single day, he may
be ignorant of the public school, its
organizat: on and administration and
yet, elected ON a partisan political
ticket, he is authorized "to have SUI
pervision over all matters pertaining
to public schools"
The practice Of electng the state
superintendent Of public instruction
by popular vote and after a political
canvass is unsound in principle and is
gradually giving place to the prac-
tice of making the state superintend-
ency an appointive Office in charge of
the state board of education. A few
principal arguments against the pres
ent plan are as follows:
% Under the existing plan the
most important educational position
in the state is a matter of partisan
politics and subject to all the vicisst-
tudes Of POLITICAL campaign. \
candidate at the polls is constantly
under pressure of being Influenced to
act by the dictates of political expe-
diency rather than by the dictates of
sound educational policy. The state
superintendent Of public instruction,
elected at the polls on a partisan
ticket, IS subjected to strong polit.
ical influence which must, in some
degree, influence his official acts
ca The election of the state SUI
perintendent on partisan political
ticket requires not only that the
choice be confined to electors of this
state but limited moreover, to ad
herents of the dominant political
party. The number of individuals in
this state who are adequately trained
to have supervision over the educa-
ton of its children is small. The
choice is therefore limited. Wash.
ington sould be privileged to select
it's state superintendent without ref
erence to state lines or political
affiliation and solely upon the ground
Of professional and expert fitness.
60 Success on partisan political
ticket consists more in the ability to
conduct political campaign than in
the ability to organize, supervise.
direct and administer system
of schools. Success at the polls bears
little or no relation to ability in edu-
cational work.

Red Head


On hot days in summer there
was nothing that Paddy Muskrat
liked better than. floating about
in the water beneath the shade OF
the great willow tree.
And Paddy was not the only
one that liked to do that, either
Johnnie Green and some of the
other boys that went to school in
the little red school house were
fond of swimming under the big
willow.
Paddy Muskrat always scolded
when they came for a swim in the
mill pond. But there was nothing
he could do-eXcept wait until
they went away To be sure, he
had spoken to Mr.. Turtle about
the matter and suggested that Mr..
Turtle bite Johnnie Green's great
toe.
Then maybe those boys will
keep out of our pond" said Paddy
Muskrat.
But Mr.. Turtle said that it might
make too much talk. paddy
Muskrat thought that ne was real
ly afraid to do it,
Paddy was much annoyed
when-on the hottest day of the
summer-Johnnie Green and three
of his playmates came to the big
willow just as Paddy had begun
to enjoy the cool water there.
II hope they won't stay long"
Paddy said, as he hid himself un-
der the bank. "If | couldn't swim

that the others would soon leave

For boastful parents l have found

But oh. protect me from the man
who swells his chest to tell
How some one else has failed where
he'd have really done it well.
1 can abide the man who boasts a
little of his skill,
Though silence on that point l
think would grace him better
still;
with patience l win hear the man
who speaks with honest pride
OF what he gives to charity, if
truth is on his side;
But | confess I try to shun the
man, whoe'er he be.
Who claims that no one else on
earth knows quite so much as
he.
1t is a natural trait to brag. all do

Though what we are and what we
do, is proved by our success. |
And / can patient be with men
whose worth all people know !

who lets his boasting run

holders in the Wflson-Ward Cotton Co.,

Of paralysis. He had been in delicate
health for about two years following a

in Mississippi county, near Bardstown,
acquiring large acreage Of fin cotton
land. He came to Memphis about 1897
and formed a partnership with r. e.
Lee Wilson and Raphael Bryan, the
business firm bearing the same name
as today. Mr.. Ward was actively en-
gagged in the pursuits OF a planter until
his health first failed about two years
ago. Ii was only recently that he dis
posed Of his Arkansas property n as
ISOLATED himself solely with the WILSON,
Ward company.

He was appointed to this board by Miss
Charl Williams, Mr.. Ward was an &C
tive and very devoHt member of the
Methodist church. He also was a
Knight Templar.
He had a wide acquaintance among
all classes of people in Memphis and

Bad for Washing Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali, which Is very
injurious, as 1t dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is Mulsified CO.
eoanut- oil shampoo, for this is pure
and entirely greaseless, It's very cheap
and beats anything else all to pieces.
You can get this at any drug store,
and q few ounce will last the whole
family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in. about a teaspoonful Is
all that is required. It makes an album
dance of rich, creamy lather, ~cleanses
thoroughly, and rinses out easily, The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and is

and easy to handle. Besides, 1t ~loosens
