personnel of the state department of
education who are employed to super

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.
