His tion of pupils, and the necessity of the personnel of the state department of education who are employed to super vise schools and school work being re lieved of all other duties except those of supervision. The committee realiz es, a member stated, that the state department of education is without appropriation to employ a sufficient number of high school, rural school and elementary school supervisors to do effective work in each county and discussed the desirability of request ing that the supervisors now employed devote extra time to some few coun ties to demonstrate what progress and inprovement can be made where the right amount of competent and suffi cient supervision is used. The committee also went on record as favoring most heartily the secur ing of a trained statistician and re search expert such as is furnished in some other states free of local expense by the general education board of New York city. Such a person, it was point ed out by the members, would be of in valuable assistance to both school folk and the membeVs of the general as sembly by being able to furnish with out delay accurate information of all matters pertaining to education work in the state. It was announced that the commit tee will hold its next meeting in Flor ence on Saturday, November 18, at 10 o’clock in the morning. At this time the plans made yesterday will be in proper shape, the chairman said, to submit to a committee of some fifty representative citizens of the state, including representatives of the~sfate department of education, both houses of the general assembly, the service clubs, the woman's clubs, and of the business and professional men and wo- | men of the state. This general meet-1 ing will be held at the Jefferson hotel in Columbia probably on December 9, and its opinion, or a majority of it, will prevail in ratifying whatever pol-i icies the legislative committee will carry to the general assembly at its January "'meeting.
