A GOOD APPOINTMENT

II is very evident that Governor McCray believes
that the way to take the schools of politics is
90 take them out.

citizens-and the only protest will be made by po-
HticaI- workers whose ideal of public service is

AS assistant to the superintendent, Mr. Burris not

ion ne put into that office numerous innovations

as their objective.
In politics. Mr.. Burris happens to be Democrat.
The governor belongs to the other party but he
threw away the usual considerations when it came
10 selecting the man, who in his opinion, best
fitted render real service.
The demand that the public school system be
placed above and beyond any partisan control has
been insistent and emphatic. Many changes Of laws
have been suggested 10 accomplish that purpose.
The governor has found a way to reach the de-
end under the present law by the simple OF
ignoring any political influences in making his APP
pointment TO this vacancy. He deserves the thanks
Of every educator who loves his profession and
every citizen who believes that the public schools
are the most valuable OF state enterprises
