To Woodruff County Voters
Saturday you vote on the ques
tion of County Superintendency.
Why should our county have a
superintendent of schools?
1. He sees to it that the coun
ty gets every cent of money to
which it is entitled.
2. He sees to it that each dis
trict gets all the money due it.
3. He assists the directors in
whatever problem such directors
solicit assistance.
4. He assists the inexperien
ced teachers in giving service to
the people who employ them.
5. He organizes the teachers
and school people of the county
to battle against ignorance, our
greatest foe.
6. He gives special attention
to the poorest schools.
7. He systematizes the schools
of the county.
8. He stimulates educational
enthusiasm thru promotion days
and rally day programs.
9. He co-operates with all the
educational agencies of the coun
ty.
10. He arouses a better com
munity spirit.
11. He fosters all movemer
that tend to build up the count
12. He becomes a real dire<
ing force to the school work
the county.
There are fifty-one counties
the United States out of abo
3,200 without county supervisio
All Qrn lt-i A ttl/onoi
our county is one of them.
No wonder Arkansas is forty
third in education, almost at the
bottom, her educational institu
tions are run in such haphazard
fashion. A $12,000,000. business
run without complete supervis
ion, 11,000 teachers, most of
them not guided by any specific
plan, have no certain goal, yet
doing the best they can.
Several thousand illiterate chil
dren in Woodruff county. Let’s
change this condition. County
supervision would create interest
in education and mean total ex -
pulsion of illiteracy from our
community.
