COUNTY srrERIsrENDxxr.-Mr G. p.
Whitcomb, elected at the last election, takes
possession to-day Of the Office Of Superin.
tend Mt Of common schools. 1t was the
understanding at the time Of Mr.. Gorton's
appointment that be was to bold: the ofics
until the expiration Of the Official term for
which his predecessor vas elected, which,
in this ca e. would be until December 3lst,
1867. With this understanding he &C.
cepted the position. This, also, is the opin-
ion Of the State Superintendent Of Public
instruction, Hon. Oran Faville, in an OIL
cial correspondence with Mr.. Gorton. The
State Constitution, however, clearly gives .
very different decision. Sec. 6, Of Art. X
reads:
''ln ali cases Of elections 10 fill vacancies
in office occurring before the expiration Of
tull term, the person 50 elected shall bold
Tor the residue Of the unexpi, cd term, and
all persons appointed to I'LL vacancies IN
Office. shall hold until the next general cleo.
ton, and until their successors are elected
Under this provision Mr.. Wh,tcomb takes
possession Of the office, although Mr.. Fs
vile in the official explanatory notes Of
Sec. 63 Of chapter Of the General School
Law says:
"Appoi0tmeuts generally hold until the
next general election after they are made,
but the County Superintendent is IN excep-
tion."
We are not prepared TO discuss the mer-
its Of this exception, whether tr.e or not.
but We can readily see that there may be
some difficulty in making the change at .
time when all the schools have commenced.
aud the teachers at work under present in
structions. We have no doubt but that
Mr.. Whit.omb will readily adapt himself to
the work so as not to seriously effect the
welfare Of the schools, finding them, - he
does, in an excellent condition under the
charge Of .fIicicrt and practical teachers.-
Mr.. Gorton has laborcd hard for our schools
for the past five years, as County SuPerin~
tendent, and previous TO that time - >
teacher. Entering upon his work with q
single purpose. and that the highest
good to the schools bringing TO his aid .
tireless energy, and . knowledge of the
wants Of Western people, he has placed the
common schools Of Scott county on an equal
footing vito those Of older and longer set
tied communities.
