Consolidate^ Board
School Supervision.
During my ten or twelve years
of teaching this is my first year
without a county superintendent.
As our school nears its close I
see, more than ever before, how
great a benefit this officer is to
the schools of a county.
I am leaving all the reports that
the law requires me to leave with
the board, but these are too meag
er. There should be reports to
show what books each child
studied when he quit school, and
the pages on which he should begin
his work next year. I have been
accustomed to working in a county
where a competent county super
intendent required every teacher
in the county to make such a re
port to him, not only at the close,
of the school, but at the end of
each school month.
uncer sucn a system me pupil
does not go over the same pages of
his book year after year, but makes
a continuous progress. All the
schools of the county progress to
gether; if one school gets behind,
the county superintendent goes out
to see what is the matter with that
teacher. He soon learns which i
are most efficient teachers. He
helps the weak, and encourages
the strong.
When be visits the schools, he
carries to every teacher the best
plans of all the other teachers in
his county. His instruction is
better than any secured in the best
normal colleges, because the teach
er has the school right there before
her and she can use at once the
things he teaches her. If there
are changes to be made in any

■
phase of her work to fit local con
ditions. the county superintendent
is there to help her. In this way
all the teachers grow and every
child in the county gets the benefit.
This county has-nearly a hun
dred school districts, yet l doubt if
there has ever been at any one of
the teachers’ meetings, held here
in our hTome county, an attendance
of all the teachers from any ten
districts in the county; 1 doubt if
there ever has been a full attend
ance from any four districts where
there are more than one teacher
employed. But experience has;
shown me that a county superin-1
tendent can get them out.
It has been truly said that teach
ers are born, not made. But even
a born teacher must be developed,
and the better and the more gu.ck
ly developed, the earlier and great
er will the district be benefitted.
But how are they to get that de
velopment? Who is going to teach j
them how to teach? If you were
sick would you hire a doctor, or
would you hire some one to ex
periment on you? The teacher
needs the county superintendent:
the teachers needs the teachers' ;
meetings; she needs every oppor-I
tunity for instruction in her pro- j
fession that she can get.
There is another phase of the
subject. How do you hire your
teachers? Don't you ^usually wait
until one comes to you and applies
for the school? And when they do
apply, how do you know that they
are the best you can get? Isn't
hiring teachers a great deal like
swapping pocket knives “sight un
seen?" If a teacher could come to
you with a recommendation from
your county superintendent who
had visited her school and knew
what she was doing, don't you
believe you would be getting a bet
ter bargain? Don't you believe
your county superintendent would
be very carefui not to recommend
a poor teacher to you?
And this is the year to vote for
county superintendent. Do you
want your teachers to get better
all the time? If you do, you must
remember that no one but you can
do your voting. 1 would like to
see every voter in this district
turn out at this election.
