state of Missouri, concerning aymen of

As to County Supervision.

To Those Interested in Rural Schools:
I understand there is a movement in
your county looking towards county SUI
pervision OF schools. BY all means en-
courage it. 1t will prove the best invest
ment possible. An expenditure of a few
hundred dollars annually will insure bet
ter schools, and l arr sure every taxpayer
and patron is in sympthy with any move
ment looking to better conditions and re-
suits in the schools.
There can not be adequate unity and
system without some supervisory head. A
competent person will ave to the schools
several times his salary in recommends
tions as to buildings, furniture and Ii
braries, to say nothing OF the time saved
to the children in better organization and
instruction. Under efficient supervision
it will be possible for teachers to grade
and classify the schools and to keep such
a record of work as to prevent loss OF
time in beginning school from term to
term.
The necessity for supervision is evident
when we consider that about one-third of
the teachers In the rural schools are
teaching their first terms. In fully one
fifth of the schools one-half of the term
Is past before the teacher has the school
organized. Even when the work of one
term has been good. a new teacher fire.
quently wastes the time of the pupils in
going over again and again work which
has been lone before. Effective suporvi-
sion will remove this difficulty, and save
time to the pupils and keep alive their
interest when new work is given them.
The greatest drawback in rural schools
to-day is a lack of inspiration. What per
cent. of the rural boys and girls love
schools, have a burning ambition to go on
in their work? This Is the strongest test
of a good school,. Answer 1t and give rea-
sons for the existing conditions, and you
nave the best reasons for organization,
for county supervision.
L have recently visited 200 rural schools,
and ] unhesitatingly declare that the
schools in counties having supervision are
30 per cent. better than In other counties
visited. Nine counties have supervision
now. They are Jasper, ST. Louis, jack
son, Pettis, Macon, Greene, Saline, Atch1-
son and Butler. 1t is hoped and believed
that ten more will join this number at the
school election in April. Let your county
be one of the number 1t will never be q
cause for regret. Yours truly,
w. T. DARLINGTON,
c+ota SUPERINTENDENT Plhlic Schools.
