Where does democracy begin
and where does it end? This
question came to my mind the
other day as I was talking to
some one about schools. No, the
other one says, we can not afford
to have a board to appoint a
state superintendent of public in-
struct ion or a county superinten-
dent, much less could we delegate
the power to appoint all teachers
to the country superintendent—
this would be destroying our de-
mocracy and it would deprive
the people of the right to rule
themselves in this very import-
ant matter. And yet, how many
good citizens have not come to
the conclusion that the officers of
the educational system of the
county and the state* should be
taken out of politics.
An educational system, to be
efficient to its highest degree,
must be more or less the work of
one single person. The system
has its different divisions and
these again may thrive under se-
veral separate heads. Let us take
but a moment’s time to compare
the school to any industrial un-
dertaking. Suppose we had a
cotton factory right here in town
that belonged to all the people
and these people elected a board
of directors to take care of the
affairs of their school—no, I beg
your pardon, I meant to say, of
their cotton factory. This board
of directors employs the superin-
tendent as well as the employees.
As in the school, the employees
are employed for one year with
power of removal vested in the
board of directors, state laws,
however, making removal almost
impossible.
Here is your analogous situa-
ber. But it does not seem at all
likely that either business or in-
dustry is apt to become excited

a good many comments to the ef
feet that neither Harding nor
Cox are regarded as firebrands.
The more correct explanation
lies in the fact that in recent
years, and particularly during
the war, that it has been deter-
mined by the American people
that the business of government
must be confined to the hand-
ling of the affairs of government.
In other words the day has pass-
ed when anyone expects a new
President or a new Congress to
start out upon a program to up-
root the established policies un-
der which the business and com-
merce have been built. The ghosts
of government ownership, the
Plumb plan, nationalization of in-
dustries and the like, have been
successfully put to sleep in the
United States, and in place of
these restless possibilities there
has been built a substantial
foundation for our transportation
system, and for our financial sy-
stem as represented by the Fede-
ral Reserve Banks. It therefore
appears that the present outlook
on life promises the customary
dullness of mid-summer enliven-
ed by vacation periods for the
rich and poor; after which a re-
vival in business and the security
markets are looked for. While
the frost is on the pumpkin and
the fodder is in the shock the
campaign orators and political
managers will enliven the eoun-
try with a brisk campaign. Amid
one final resounding shout the
news will sweep the land telling
who is the victor. No matter
what is the result it is not likely
to add one business failure or to
upset any industrial or financial
enterprise in the country. There
is no danger that the bottom will
fall out of the old I . S. A.

Mrs. Anna Noll, wife of Henry
Noll, Sr., died on July 28th and
was buried July 29th, 1920. Mrs.
Noll, nee Miss Anna Reiffert, was
born August 3, 1851, in Uersfeld,
Germany. When 24 years old
she came to Cuero, Texas, where,
on Nov. 22., 1877 she*was mar-

Six children were born to
them, five boys and one girl, of
whom four survive the mother:

holds you responsible for the
work the system is putting out.
This is absolutely the situation
as it exists in ever so many
schools all over the state. Not
even the big cities are excluded.
It is, true, that the fewer the
changes in the teaching force, the
better will the school fare, pro-
vided we have efficient teachers
that come into consideration. For
this reason it is a good policy
to reemploy teachers as long as
possible. But if the system is
large enough to demand that a
single person be placed at its
head, then to assure the best re-
sults this head of the system
should be consulted in employ-
ing one and every employee un-
der him. And in recommending
