In response % numerous inquiries, state
Superintendent Bateman has issued cir
cular defining the status Of County Super
intendents Of Schools under the new law
As new Superintendents are to be chosen
in November, and their duties and salaries
are radically changed, his definition Of the
law, at this time, is important, as it points
out to candidates, before hand, what the
position is worth in pecuniary way. The
salary Of County superintendent, here
after, will be derived wholly from the fol
lowing sources
l. Three per cent commissions upon
the amount OF sales Of school lands or OF
sales Of land upon mortgage, or sales Of
real estate taken for debt including all
services connected herewith
. Two per cent commission upon all
sums distributed, paid OF loaned out by
them for the support Of schools.
8. For all other duties required by law
20 be performed by them, for such number
Of days a. may be designated by the coun-
Is board, in counties Of first and second
class the sum Of four dollars a day
In regard to these sources Of revenue
Mr. Bateman says
Nearly all the school lands having been
already sold there will be no commissions
on sale Of such property, except in four or
five counties. The State school fund dis
tributed will be about 100000 annually.
two per cent on which is $4,000, an
average Of only $500 per county. mas.
much as the allowance of 81 day by the
new law is left entirely to the direction OF
county boards, except in the case Of Cook
county, it follows that the only amount the
Superintendent elected in November can
positively rely on in the way of compensa.
ton, is the commission on the distribution
Of school funds, which,as heretofore stated
averages but about $500 in a county
Conceding the salary to be entirely mad
equate to support the incumbent Mr.
Bateman argues that there is nothing in
the law, or in the duties Of the office, t.
prevent County Superintendent from
teaching school, and he deems that mode
Of increasing the salary preferable to hay

thing you want in the way Of resolutions ;

whether II be anti-monopoly, high tariff,

at their resolutions; do they not condemn
every species of political trickery and cor
ruptiou, and do they not express an unal.

and do they not promise that in the tu.
ture they will try and curtail the thieying
propensities Of the Republican Office hol
