thus centtalii'ed pioceeds from, and
not In spite of, th- people. The heads

to tho accomplishment of Its full pur

was to give the goveilior tne sani'

constitution, and il would become the
governor's duty to exeteNe his legis
lative Judgment, which was of the les
ser import nice, and should give way."
While this is the 111 si time that the
iliie-tion of rinition.il veto has inien
for judicial deteimination, the court
notes a number of examples of vetoes, .
since the ptesenl constitution went t

in this Inst'ince, the piactieo has been

Ineitbns worse thnn any "Old Man of
the Sea" that was ever Imagined, or
any "Old Man of the Mountain" that
eer existed. The genet at. Inclusive,
want--tliiil of taking Ihe schools out

w hole In the Ameilcan common school
system. "The political pull" I the
cliiso of the common school, the one
gieat hindrance to Its elllcaey, to the
possibility of Its-doing for the children
of nil classes of the community en
ti listed to Its cine till that It ought to
do lor them.
The detail of tefoiins mid changes
needed in school administration ate
not thu same In every state nor e.vprv
community. Hcio Is what Chicago
mmiiio. unit bus hnd embodied in the
bill lutioiliiced into the state legisla
ture by Representative May:
li-hst Reduction of the; school board
to a smaller, nion; compact, business
like bodj.
"Second Klec tiun of the board mem
bets by popular vote, nominations to
be mnde by petition of householders
Instead of political conventions.
"Third Meet Ion or superintendent
for four piirs. or for some tixttt tenure
of olllee.
"Jfottrlli Vcstlug of all authority
oci purely educational matters, In
cluding selection of teachoi.s and text
books, in the supeilntendent."
This summary of the provisions of
the Alay bill we take fiom the Chicago
P.eeoid-Her.tld. We invite special con
sldeiation to Ihe second mtlele, last
clause. Such a change In hc method
of nominations, w hoi ever can led out
would be an incalculable step forward.
As the Kecord-Heiald says: "Tho
schools should first be lestored to the
eketotatc and all connection with city
hall politics I'tit off."

of leeeiving "an acknowledgment" for

tiiel in almost every section of the
land.
With Hie educational .mails of the

"the ll-'i'te light that beats upon a.

vation, beating upon him, no superin
tendent elected by the people, or by a
boatd whose meinbeis weie named by
the householdets instead of the poli
ticians who make up slates for the
piimmiop. will be liable to go astray
under any political inlluence. His own
I lepuiulion, as well as the highest wel-
fate of the schools, will be invoiveu in
his wise administration of his trust.
