The turn-ovbor was mainly taken up in newly created jobs. 3. In the first quarter of the present century, the population of our country increased 50 per cent, but in the year 1925 we produced two and lf times as much wealth as in 1899, with industrial workers on a 10 per cent shorter day and higher wages. 4.

In stating his program of the fundamental idea underlying our prosperity he contended for hands off private enterprise by the federal, state and municipal governments. He declared the function of government was wise regulation, and that the business of our country, great and small, should be left in the hands of the people. The children of today and the generations of the future should not fall under tho palseying hand of paternalism as projected in European countries and continual contended for by minority groups in bur own Republic.

This board to ap- point the state superintendent instead of the people electing him to office. It is all very well to remove this office from politics, but in attempting to correct that evil may bring about a wohe condition of affairs. As it is ..now, the voters have a right to say who shall represent them as superin tendent of public instruction. They can elect whom they please. There is more than one county in the state where the combined voting power in those counties would like to say who shall represent them on the school board. Under the present law tho county is divided into districts and voters in District No. 1 cannot vote for candidates in District No. 2, and the same is true in Districts 3 and 4, etc. Under this system if the affairs of the schools are not being handled as a majority of the people desire, there is no remedy. It may tako a period of years to bring about a change in the administration of school affairs. This law should be changed so th j people as a whole can have the privilege of voting on all candidates in the county for a position on the school board, who appoints the county superintendent.
