TO THE Hos hoard or SUPERVISORS
| GENTLEMEN: Your committee 10 whom
was referred the ordinance changing the
salary OF the county superintendent Of
schools of Grant county would report that
/ we have carefully examined into said mat
! ter and from the exar' iuation we lind that
| the superintendent is receiving a much
smaller salary Of an any county officer in
| Grant county and as the law of this state Is
such that any person who will hereafter be
eligible To hold said office must be Compel
emf and pass an examination before the state
board and must be able 10 pass such an ex-
animation as to hold a state certificate. We
would also report that the county of Grant
ranks first in the state in the number of
teachers. having 2s6 this year and next be-
ing Dodge county having 225. We also find
that the legislature of 1895 passed law inn
posing extra duties upon the county super
lntendents and also cOmpels them under the
law to give bend TO the county to conform
thereto: we would therefore recommend
the adoption of the ordinance.
Respectfully submitted
