Nov. it. -The syatam of school supervision in force In Rich mond County, Ge< rgla, by which the c ounty of Richmon i and city of Au? gusta employ one luperintendent of Bchools, is the method recommended by Superintendent Martin to give more i H tctlv<i ness to the system of supervis? ion In this State. in his forthcoming annual report. Mr. M ntin will point "ut that of the iev< n State superintendents of educa? tion tint South Carolina has had In 40 years, all have laid stress on the Importance of supervision of schools ami yet the system Is far i'r >m satis? factory, though progress has been made. The fact that the position of county sup rlntendentof education is a political office and the ofliciui Is select? ed in the primer) by popular vote fri.i!i a,:.: tig Cltls ns Of the county may account for the deficiencies ??? tiio present system. On this point of super? vision Mr. IKartin says In his report. "During the past forty years south Carolina has had seven different State Superintendents of Education as fol j lows: J. K. Jills >m Ii. B. Thompson, A. i Coward, J. H. Rice, w. 1). ICayfleld, J. | i t. atcafahan and O. B. Martin. Every! I me of these superintendents has urg | ed the Legislature to make Improve? rs nts In our system of county super? vision. The'net results of these ap? peals have been a change in the name of county ich >ol c ?mmlseioner to county tup< rlnfc ndi nt of education, o slight Increase In the salaries in some counties, and an Increase in the length of term fr< :r two years to four years n L8 counties. Thia condition affords nother striking illustration of the necessity cf a general revision of our ChOOl law in the interest of system and uniformity. The people of th.j State are evi U ritly dissatisfied In a large measure, with the existing meth? od of county school supervision. A* evidence of that fact it Bhould be : oted that nearly one-half of the su? perintendents were changed at the ; scant ? ylctlon. v< t all were defeated, ome did not offer for re-election, be? cause they could make more money n Other lin a of werk. Quite a num* these had held office only for a short while. Many of these wer? not c\0" feated because of InefActency.

The ar? gument is frequently made that th ilary Is sufliclent for the amount o' work done. This Is certainly tru< where a man devotes the minor pon lion of his tin e to his dutl s to th' public, and a major portion to th f?:1.ruing ??. r livelihood i'1 some olhei way. "After considerable observation of school systems In various par!-; of the country, I am convinced that the bes system of county supervision f(>r th< South Is that which is in practice In Richmond County and three other counties in Georgia. The people there lei t a member of the board of educa? tion from ? ach district. Tills board representing ail parts of the county, both city and Urban, has genernl charge of the schools. Thill board elects the superint dent. Tl ere i.? only one superintendent for both cits and county. The superintendent of Augusta gives as much attention to the country schools of Richmond County as he does to the city schools, of course, it would be Impossible to adopt this system at once in our State by the Legislature, because our Con? stitution provides for small districts ami for trustees In these districts. We could, however, provide for a county board of education to consist of one elective member from each t< wnshtp, or magisterial district, ami devolve upon this board all of the duties and functions of the present county bend of education, together with such ad? ditional powers ami dUtlea as are not prohibited by the Constitution. This board could elect the county superin? tendent of education and li\ his salary in proportion to the amount of work required, it could be arranged Pot one third of tho members of tins board to he elected every two years. Under this plan there would be little danger of damage to the schools on account of polities, and still the ultimate con? trol of the schools would be removed THE HALL CASE.
