National Music week is May 4-10.
Tthis will be the seventh annual ob-

a rapid growth sinces its first ob-
eervance in Boise, Idaho, which held
its first music week in 1919. The
Tfliext city , to take it up was Dallas,
Texas. The same year fifteen towns
followed their example. By 1923 the
number had increased to fifty-six.
and in 1924 it was decided to turn!
the observance into a national affair j
and to invite all cities to celebrate j
Music Week at the same time. In;

the terms from two to four years was
passed last week. In commenting up
on the matter, a writer gave the
reason for the change as being main-
ly to get this office from under the
.dominance of politics. The position
is taken that the work of the county
superintendent lies directly with the
welfare of the boys and girls of the
State, thus affecting the interests of
the home. Politics are all right—
possibly a necessity in their sphere—
but the matter of educating the
young generation can not afford to
be held up for delays necessarily fol-
lowing issues of political policies of
the section served, for that matter
it, seeems but reasonable that the of-
fice should be as non-political as it
is possible to make it. Of course the
incumbent must either run on the
Democratic or Republican ticket, in
crder to be properly elected, but
aside from using the prevailing par-
ty as a vehicle for induction into of-
fice, the party position of the issue
might as well be eliminated. The
school, and all which is connected
with it, is a part of the home life of
the State and Nation, and as such
