Machan, superintendent of LaGrange county, have been appointed by Governor Mount as the three additional members of the Board of Education, under the provisions of the bill passed by the last legislature.

The Michigan state board of health has recently issued an official publication, setting forth by photographs of views throughout the state, the facts showing the desirability of the state as a summer resort, and its value as a health resort. This publication should be of interest to many persons in the sister states on the south; and the publication sets out attractions that appeal to persons who are in pursuit of health or pleasure in the way of sailing, rowing, angling and the enjoyment of picturesque and pleasant surroundings. If you want this "Directory of Michigan Summer Rersorts" send six cents in stamps to pay postage, with your request, and name and address to State Board of Health, Lansing, Michigan.

In response to a request Attorney General Taylor rendered an opinion to the effect that graduates of the Indiana State Normal school are not eligible to the office of county superintendent until they have taken an examination as other applicants are required to do. In the opinion he says:

"It is to be noted that the act with regard to the diplomas simply provides that the diplomas shall be considered sufficient evidence of qualification to teach." The same question, he continues, has arisen in states where the practice of medicine, dentistry and pharmacy and other professions is forbidden without license.

"No person shall be eligible to or shall hold the office of county superintendent unless he hold at the time of his election a thirty-six months' license, or life or professional license to teach. It is my opinion that this means that the actual license must be held to make a candidate eligible to office under the act, and that nothing which is simply evidence of qualification to teach can take the place of the license distinctly required by the statute."

It is said that Professor William James is a psychologist who writes like a novelist, and Mr. Henry James is a novelist who writes like a psychologist. That Professor James can make psychology as interesting as fiction is maintained by good judges; therefore his Talks to Teachers, announced for immediate publication by Henry Holt & Co., will appeal to many readers who are neither teachers nor psychologists. Among the eighteen "talks" are: "The Child as a Behaving Organism," "The Will," "The Gospel of Relaxation," "On a Certain Blindness in Human Beings" and "What Makes Life Significant."

Vories's Business College holds several world's records. Persons who have visited the school and witnessed the rapid work of the students in addition, multiplication and counting interest say that their work is truly wonderful. Recently Professor A. E. Martin of the Indianapolis Training School was called in and held the watch. Two students added 1,200 figures in a minute and many others were only a shade behind them. Their work in multiplication and counting interest is almost incredible. This school also holds the world's record in being the only Business College in the world which has a Brass Band and a full Orchestra of stringed instruments. Mr. Vories has fitted out his Band and Orchestra with fine uniforms which are conceded to be the finest uniforms in the state. High schools would do well to secure Mr. Vories's Band and Orchestra for their Commencements. Vories's Business College is conceded to be in the front rank of all similar schools in this country.
