A. to County superintendent..

To the Editor OF the Indianapolis Journal:
The last Legislature passed a law pro-
viding as follows: mo person shall be
eligible to or hal hold the office of county
superintendent unless he hold at the time
of his election a thirty-six months license
or life or professional license TO teach in
the public schools OF the State"
The writer doubts the constitutionality OF
the section of law just quoted. To say hat
il is an unjust, superficial enactment is to
put it i'm mild terms. The enactment does
not say that the person who desires TO be
county superintendent shall hold a thirty
six months license issued In the county in
which he desires TO be elected supertntend-
ent, or whether he may secure the thirty
six months license i'm some other county.
If the candidate for county superintendent
is required to secure a thirty-six months
license from a county superintendent who
is DESTROYS of succeeding himself in office,
then the first man is at the mercy OF the
other. In this way an INSCRIPTIONS county
superintendent may successfully thwart
the ambition of all his teachers who aspire
to become the head of the schools i'm their
county.
on the other hand, If a thirty-six months
license issued I'm one county can be used as
a proof of qualification in another county.
a candidate for county superintendent, no
difference what his qualifications may be.
will manage to find an INSCRIPTIONS county
superintendent TO issue the required thirty
six months license.
In Pike county. two years ago, IL Is said,
and not contradicted, that a candidate for
county superintendent, who never In his
life was able to merit but a twelve months
license. was on hand with two thirty-six
months licenses. issued In other counties.
OF course. in accordance with the letter of
the law, he was eligible, although he did
not hold a valid license in Pike county at
the time.
In the opinion of the writer the dualifica-
lions now required OF county superintend-
ents should be greatly modified 1t would
be much better to say that in order TO be
eligible TO the office Of county superintend-
ent the applicant must have taught sue
cessfully for ten years in the public schools
Of the State. Anybody can get a thirty
six months license TO teach school.
