progress Of the schools under his juris-
diction, and his personal and profess
sional progress, will be in direct pro-
portion to the support he receives from
his board of education, which in turn
is dependent upon the type of its lay
membership and the sincerity and in
tegrity of its members.
When discussion centers around
earned degrees DR.. Eelkema stated that
'it must be admitted that an individ-
uals education and background OF
training cannot be judged solely by
degrees even though degrees are pre-
sumed to indicate that the recipient has
satisfied certain criteria and require
ments.
Some individuals who do not have
advanced degrees may have an extern
sive education. Then too. there are
others who have advanced degrees who
may have very narrow education OF
may possess a varied educational back
ground not reflected by the degrees re-
ported"
In closing, Dr. Eelkema said: Permit
me to add that 1t is my opinion that al
superintendents, irrespective of whether
they have or have not advanced degrees
have frequently felt need for a great
deal more training to intelligently at
tack the complicated present-day prob

On This
Occasion
A Few Observations on Matters
Material and Immaterial by
the Editor.

"An angry howl of disap-
pointment will rumble through
the country in January 1912" "
says John T. Flynn in Harpers
magazine. Then, the man or
woman who paid the social Sc
curity tax will at the age of 65
be forced to leave his or her
500 a month job to pauperize
himself or herself to get a SIT
per month pension. Such per-
sons will get the horse laugh
from charity pensioners who
get as much as $50 a month
now without ever having done
a lick of work or contributing
a cent.

Much credit is due the building COM

of the finances and it has been through
his untiring efforts that the ultimate
result of retiring the debt has been
attained.

the founding of the lodges in Ely in

HOW WOULD I pay for this vast
