E. Benjamin Andrews has been elected Superintendent of the Chicago Public Schools. It will be interesting to watch the development of a college president as the superintendent of a great system of schools.

The Public School Journal has a strong editorial on the removal of Dr. W. N. Hailman as Superintendent of Indian Schools and the appointment of Miss Esther Reel. Editor Brown thinks the recognition of Miss Reel is good for Miss Reel, but bad for the Indians.

Mr. C. H. Woods, who has edited and published the School Reporter for several years, has discontinued the publication and removed to Nipomo, where he will serve as principal of the school. The Reporter was an interesting journal, and Mr. Woods has the best wishes of all in his new field of labor.

Prof. Elmer E. Brown of the State University, is always happy in the charm of illustration. Some years ago he compared educational progress to a spiral. It was an illustration that left an impression. In his speech at Washington, D. C., he made a new use of the old figure of the tree of knowledge. "The larger university is a tree of knowledge. It has a strong central trunk of liberal culture, running from its root up to its topmost tip, like the trunk of a great pine tree; and it has many branches of industrial and professional training, which bear fruit in the several occupations of human life. The branches have need of the trunk; and the trunk has need of the branches. How can you hope to perfect any part in separation from the whole ?"
