A lotter setting fort li conclusions as to the value of supervisors of rural schools In counties of this State, bas ed upon investigations which have been made, along that line, has been received hy Miss MaRgle M. Carling ton, county supervisor of rural schools, lrom Prof. '.ueco Ounter, State inspector of rural elementary schools. The letter in Interesting in that it places an estimad- upon tho work of thc school supervisor, and should be of interest to school patrons through out Anderson county, as this is one of tho counties of. the State in whick a supervisor is employed.' The letter received by Miss Carlington reads as follows: "For some limo 1 have had it on my mind to write a letter to the su pervisors of schools in the several counties. When, I first took up this work I found myself almost lost in the immensity of it. My first endeav or was to find what might be done and how the State supervisor might emceed. . During the past few months I have visited several counties, have been learning conditions, and have been reaching some conclusions ..as to my work. I have hesitated to write any general letters to supervisors until I had had some opportunity to view and study the Held. "The work of the county supervisor waa one that. I had had no opportuni ty of seeing and had no means of measuring its value. One of my foremost wishes was to. see the ef fects of your work in y?ur respec tive counties. I have not had oppor tunity to meet personally aa yet all the counties where supervisors bal been employed, but I have visited sev eral counties where supervisors have been at worKT for "some time, and I have visited other counties where there have been no supervisor. As a result of this observation I am pleas ed to say that ' the personnel of tue teaching force and the- spirit of the teaching body tn the counties where there axe supervisors Justifies beyond measure the work that you are doing. I wish ?it were'?possible for -every county In th? S trite to have a super vising teacher anti'-1 believe that one In every -county-'1" would greatly strengthen tho work that you ore now doing In the 13 counties. "To me the most striking work that you have been able to do has been in the improvement of the actual schoolroom instruction. My observa tion this fall has".lcd ?ne to fee! that the great need of the country school teacher ls to know what to do and how tb do it. I', hayo seen evidence of the' tact where county supervisors have been at work that you are suc ceeding admirably In thus strength ening tho character of the teaching. This ls a phase ot the work of every teacher that thc public at laige does not readily see and appreciate. Out lt ls the one that the school official very readily detects; and'after all lt is the one that counts most for the children In school and rodders the gres-test service. "I wish to be of as much service to the county supervisors as ls pos sible. I shall frequently depend* tip on your suggestion and -advice. I hope that we may bo helpful to each other and that through me to some extent the county supervisors may be helpful to one another. For this reason I should bo ''pleased if the county supervisors would feel free to use my office es a sort- of clearing house for information. If you will be so kind as to send me reports of your work, any plans or suggestions fhat you .devise for your teachers or for any use whatever vin your county, I should be glad to distribute these plana to the other supervisors to that one. may profit by the experience of another. . "I crave a frank and open-hearted discussion of our- work at all times. My work with the county supervisors already this fall has been a genuine delight to me and has in a large measure taken the place of that help ful association with' teachers thst I have bad Ole past several years tn city school work. -! trust thst yon will feel free to call upon me at. any time in order that I may he of ser vice, ss Isball likely he com?*1 tod to call upon you."
