There are other changes, it is un derstood, that will be recommended but interest will center in the move-1 ment to take the superintendent of 1 Rublic instruction's election out of the hands of the, people of the state. Friends of the present plan admit that the theory of such a change is 1 plausible. In popular election there! is. always the possibility of an inef- j ticient man being chosen when an expert in educational imatters should be given the position. But they do not believe that the moment, which ! contemplates a radical, departure from the system in vogue, will meet with favor in the state. .
