COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT.

In accordance with the state law on the
subject, the School Directors of the county
will assemble in Pottsville ON Tuesday next
for the purpose of electing a County Superin-
tendent of public schools for term Of three
years. There are but two prominent candi-
dates seeking the postion-the present in
cumbent, Prof G. w. Weiss, of Schuylkill
Haven, and Prof J. w. Cooper, Of town, who
is at present principal Of the Shenandoah
High school. The election is one Of much
interest to the people, and they look to the
Directors with the hope that they will have
due regard for the responsibility deyolving
upon them ON Tuesday next.
The present incumbent is a can lidatc for
reelection, and we believe he should lie
superseded by some one else for several good
reasons. Reasoning from Prof Weiss own
standpoint, when he was first elected, he
argued that no man should hold the office of
County Superintendent of Public Instruction
for more than two or three terms. He has
now held the position for fifteen years, and
should give way to some one else If Prof.
Weis was SO firm believer in the principle
of rotat un in office when he succeeded Prof.
that principle to be applied to himself at this
time. Within the past thirty-siX years the
position has been filled by but two men, and
the schools during that time have had the
benefit of their individual ideas alone;
Whereas if change had been made, say
every two or three terms, the principle upon
which Mr.. Weiss placed great faith before he
was elected) the schools would have profted
by the injection Of new ideas and new
methods.
The state school reports at hand show that
the principle of rotation i, carried out IN the
majority Of the counties, aud the result is
beneficial 10 the schools In forty-three
counties the longest tenure is three terms,
while in fourteen We find that four terms is
the longest, thus making Gfty-seyen counties
in which Supcrntendeuts have been elected
for terms not longer than twelve years. 1t Is
true that when "a change Is contemplated II
should be made with much caution. 70 lower
the standard for the mere sake OF making u
change is wrong, But 1t is IN line Of prece
dent, in this state at least, aud it is becoming
a more settled habit with each year, to place
new men with progressive ideas in the POSI-
