The School Law.

\ short but interesting discussion occurred in
the Senate, Wednesday, on proposition to
make towns pay their own Superintendent of
Schools, instead of as now having those officers
look to the State for their compensation. The
proposition failed at the moment, but as it will
quite likely come up again, a word upon the
subject may not be out of place.
This very question Of paying Superintendents
by the towns or by the State, has been patient
ly considered by the friends of our present Edu-
cstional system. They have nothing to make
Individually OF collectively, by retaining the
law as it is. They would be the first to propose
change, if they believed the law would thus
he better than now. But from observations
covering the whole State, they are persuaded
that the purpose to be subserved by the appoint
ment of these Superintendent, can be obtained
only by providing that the compensation shall
come out of the State treasury.
While it is true that there is much inequality
now in the sums allowed town Superintendents
by the State, and admitting that there are evils
in the present system, this inequality and these
evils are much less than the injury which would
result from the change proposed and these
evils. as MIR Stafford said, are the fault of the
officers and not of the law. 1t is not reasonable
We think, to anticipate that the inequality of
charges and allowances for services would
be any less if towns were compelled to pay their
Superintendent, but on the contrary we believe
this inequality would be all the more marked
The pay might more nearly correspond to the
work done, but the work, in many, if not q ma
.jority Of towns would be reduced to the mini
mum and 1t was to avoid just this result that
the law was made as it is.
Now the towns cannot limit the work TO b,
done. They can appoint incompetent persons,
bat when they find that this course makes no
difference with their taxes, they will soon aban-
don it. Ii will then happen, as it has already,
we think, in those towns in the State really
hostile to appointing any town Superintendent,
that tn. indictments, finding their efforts fruit
less, will abandon the subject to those who
have enough interest in the cause Of Education
to attempt, at least, 70 honestly carry cat the
law. The object, which the law has in view, Of
giving towns which need working Superinten-
denis and would not otherwise have them, the
bcnci. Of thesa officers is thus obtained: and if
the expense is not borne with absolute equality
BY all the towns, We should remember that the
work done is public benefit, which had much
better be paid Tor by the State, than not be per-
formed at all. And if it is wise foy the State to
make laws to advance Educational !ntsrests in
the State, it cann0. be unwisa !or it to provide
that those laws may operate 50 as to answer
their purpose.
