ed. Mr.. Ewing followed in some lucid |
and earnest remarks upon the workings |
of the school system which were listened |
to with profound attention. Among his !
suggestions he urged the importance of a |
General School Supervisor, whose duties |
it would be to visit the various districts |
and exercise proper supervision over the |
schools, and recommended the appoint |
ment of the same by the County Court feel !
ing that that body, would respect the
wishes of SO large and intelligent a body |
of gentlemen as those composing the |
School Commissioners.

cellent suggestions, as to the action In |
harmony and energy of the Commission |
ers, the Examiners, the School Board, and |

as the Commissioners and others interested |
could attend TO the same duties equally as |
well.

pointed remarks, and presented valuable |
considerations to the meeting.
