and one deeply appreciated by me. a
testimonial of which any man should
be proud. / accept the office again with
an added sense of its importance and
responsibility.
Six years experience has taught how
much the welfare and progress of the
school depends upon the action OF the
superintendent If he is indolent, weak
and vacillating, the whole system will
be weakened.
MUST HAVE COURAGE.
Here, if in any office, there should be
a man who can perceive the right and
who has the courage to do 1T. The
chief service to be performed is in the
granting of certificates. The superin-
tendent, IL he is to be worth anything
to the schools, must set his face reso-
lutely against incompetency. II he re-
fuses to license incompetent teachers
they cannot be hired. 1t should be very
plain to anyone that no person can
teach what he does not know, and can
didates who are ignorant of the
branches taught in our schools must
be refused If we are to have good
schools.
1t is sometimes a hard task for a
superintendent to be rigidly just and
fair to the schools. In this he needs
the support of the school directors
They should at all times uphold his
hands and sustain him in the perform
ance of his duties. 1t is a plain duty
of the school directors to sustain the
superintendent in refusing certificates
to those who are not competent In
accepting this office for a, third time,
/ ask the continued support of the
school directors. Again thanking you
for the high compliment paid me in
this election, close this short address.
The superintendent salary was
fixed at $4,000. the same as during his
last term and the following resolution
with reference to school appropriations
was passed.
Resolved, That the school directors
of Lackawanna county in convention
assembled are unalterably opposed tc
any cutting of the bill now in the
hands of the governor appropriatine
$11, 100000 to the public schools of this
commonwealth for the fiscal year OF
1899 and 1900, and that a copy of this
resolution be forwarded to his excel.
lency, William A. Stone, governor Of
this commonwealth.
