EDITOR CHRONICLE:

EDITOR CHRoNICLE:
1t certainly is not very compliments
~ to the teachers Of Belmont county
that they can not occupy one column
with communications on educational
topics, when it is SO kindly offered them
by the editor.
Let rs hope this remissness should be
attributed to their modesty, rather than
to lack of interest in the cause for which
they profess to be laboring.
AS one of the fraternity L would wish
to make tnat plea, yet would none the
less thank the editor for the offer and
rejoice in the liberal spirit that prompt
ed it,
Amongst other questions interesting
to teachers, as well as those having
children to educate is that of County
Superintendent.
There are many serious objections to
creating such an office, and some good
reasons why such should be established,
and n concise and forcible statement OF
these in this column, might be condu.
Give of real benefit to the cause of edu
cation in the community.
