A MATTER OF HEALTH POWDER Absolutely Pure HAS HO SUBSTITUTE LEN6THEN TERM OF OFFICE COUNTY SCHOOL SUPERINTEND ENTS IN STATE WORK FOR LONGER TERM. Want the Present Law Amended Ac cordingly—Make Tenure Same as Superior Judge. It is predicted an effort will be made by county superintendents of the state and other leading educators to secure some action by the incoming legislature that will both lengthen the term of office for county school super intendents and will also make it pos sible through a constitutional amend ment for a county school superintend ent to be reelected as many times as his constituents may desire. As the matter now stands, it makes no difference how competent a man the county may secure in that position, he can serve at the longest not more than four years, and by the time that he has become most useful to the people and school interests of his county, it is argued, it becomes impossible to longer continue him In office. The county superintendency is one of the few offices demanding special and professional preparation, asserts the Northwest Journal of Education. There is no reason why the term of office should nt be as long as that of judge of the superior court, and there is every reason why the people should be able to secure his services as long as they desire, because those services become more valuable to the pople with the added years of experience in the office. Most of the county offices can be filled by any man of ordinary business judgment and average clerical ability, and the constitutional regulation re stricting the occupants of such offices to two consecutive terms may be a very wise one, but in the case of such an office as the county school super intendency, the reasons for such re strictions do not hold. The Northwest Journal of Education suggests that the school people of each county take pains between now and the first of the year to interview the members of the legislature elected from their respective localities and to secure their approval and promise to favor and promote the legislation above suggested.

TO TAKE CENSUS NEXT YEAR WHATCOM COUNTY LEGISLATORS WILL INTRODUCE MEASURE AT COMING SESSION. Legislative Reappointment, Based on this Census, Will Be Made in the Year 1907. One of the laws which it is predicted the coming legislature will be called upon to consider will be one providing for the taking of a state census next year. Section 35 of article II of the state constitution provides as follows: The legislature will provide by law for an enumeration of the inhabitants of the state in the year one thousands eight hundred and ninety-five and every 10 years thereafter; and at the first session after each enumeration made by the authority of the United States, the legislature shall apportion and district anew the members of the senate and house of representatives according to the number of inhabi tants, excluding Indians not taxed, soldiers, sailors and officers of the United States army and navy in active service. Consequently the state should get into the census taking business, though perhaps on not so elaborate a scale as that on which Uncle Sam, counts noses every decade. Legislative reapportionment, based on this census, will not come up until the session of 1907. The constitution provides that the house of representa tives "shall be composed of not less than 63 nor more than 99 members,*' and that "the number of senators shall not be more than one third of the num ber of members of the house of repre sentatives." At present there are 94 members of the house and 42 members of the senate. QUITE A FAD.
