The Portland daily press., 1868-06-04

The Superintendent of Common Schools
has issued circular, addressed to the school
committees of the several towns, calling for
information respecting the text books used,
the cost, and frequency of change, and also
asking their advice respecting county super
vision and conventions. The answers to his
elaborate and ingenious series of questions
will furnish a body of information which will
enable the next Legislature to act intelligent
ly upon this important question. We have
no doubt that the confusion and costliness of
the present anarchic arrangement will so
fully appear in the statistics that the necessi-
ty of referring this matter to some compe-
tent board win become fully apparent
The board which undertakes such a. duty
must be so,organized of course as to command
the public confidence both in its capacity and
integrity. 1t must be entirely above suspi-
cion of collusion with publishers or Their
agents. In this respect the Governor and
Council would be an entirely satisfactory
body. But the Governor and Council are al
ready overbur dened, and it must be remem-
bered besides that they are not selected with
reference to their qualifications to decide up
on the merits of school books or systems of
education. 1t is necessary to have a body
not only of unimpeachable integrity but il
possible of trained judgment in this special
direction. Perhaps the Board of Agriculture
may serve as a model in this case. Why no:
| have Board of Education, composed of dele
gates elected by the County Associations o
| teachers? Such a board, the elect of the
very men who by their profession are COM
PEELED to give closest attention to the merits
of the various school books offered to the pub
lie, would deserve and receive the confidence
of the community. If the presidents of oul
three colleges were made er oticio members
| of the board, they would add to its character
and usefulness, and establish connection
between the colleges md common schools
which would doubtless be for the advantage
| of both.
| Mr.. johnson is entering upon the duties Of
his Office with zeal and energy which prom
Use excellent results. Besides the circular al.
ready mentioned, he has issued another to
teachers, inviting their cooperation and coun
sci, and exhorting them TO stand by tn
"Maine Normal" the town and county asso
citation, and the annual State convention
as the rallying points of the profession. 1t il
good advice and should be unhesitatingly ant
