country teacher is as rigidly quizzed
as a professor
"1rue it is that the superintendent
in years passed have advanced won
derfully eloquent theories concerning
the development Of the country

suggested are not directed against
one man or made personal, but
have been long convinced that some
thing in the nature Of reform in
this direction should be inaugurated'
"My voice in these matters is .
small one indeed, but | firmly believe
that a majority Of the county super
intendents Of the State will agree will
me in the statement that the stat'
superintendent pays little or no at
tention to the country schools"
