FOR RURAL SCHOOLS.
Expert Superintendsrcs Provided for
by a New Law.
An Important Measure That Means Much ia
Maine Schools.

One Of the most important laws
passed by the recent Legislature was
that providing for the grouping OF
towns for the employment of school
superintendent. In referring to it
State Superintendent Stetson says: Il
congratulate the Legislature and the
Governor upon the passage of the mos.
important educational law placed on
the statute books of Maine in the last
half century"
1t Is doubtful If the full significance
of this new law. which its promoters
expect TO do so much for the uplifting
of Names rural schools. is generally
understood. Maine is the second State
TO pass such a law. Massachusetts new
possessing a similar law after trying
over 20 years to get it enacted. AT the
recent Chicago meeting OF the National
Educational Association no subject at
tiacted so much attention as this be-
fore the committee of IL on rural
schools
This law, like number Of others
passed at this session. is the outcome
of suggestions in the recent report OF
State Superintendent Stetson. The
educational committee saw the great
value of the idea and reported the bill
ably, and it passed both branches
without debate or opposition. OF the
% measures reported fayorably by this
committee. 20 passed both branches
and received the signature of the Gov
ernor
At present the rural schools of Maine
have no expert superintendent. The
superintendent are often able under
existing conditions to give but a very
small share of their time and thought
to the work. The object of the new
law is to allow the school committees
of two or more towns to unite for the
purpose of employing as superintend-
ent of their schools. a person thorough
~ equipped for the position, who shall
give all his time to the work. The
towns shall pay the superintendent not
less than $500. and half as much more
shall be paid him by the State. pro-
vided that not more than $3.50 be thus
paid by the State to any one union of
towns. The law gees into effect July
L. 1897. 1t is not compulsory but per-
ni:ts towns, by vote in town meeting,
to authorize the school committees to
1lfitt III Tic BcSS StdtSu. IL 10 CA-
pected the towns of Maine will quickly
see that it is of great benefit to them to
thus unite in groups of three or four,
ard the fact that the State pays the
superintendent elected to have charge
CT their schools. half as much as they
raise for his salary will prompt them
more quickly to this action.
The persons employed as superin-
tendents must hold certificates under
the act of 1895. providing for the State
examination of teachers, and must de-
vote their entire time to the work. 1t
is hoped that in few years. at the
longest, this law will result in the en-
ployment CT about 100 expert superin-
tendents devoting all their time and at
tention to the welfare and advance
ment of the rural schools of Maine.
The Importance of this new law car
hardly be overestinated, and the lead
ing educators of the State are rejoicing
at the long step in advance which it
makes.
