RALEIGH. n. c.. November 15.-tSpe-
ciaL)-State Superintendent Joynes. tax
!, ing to-day with your correspondent eN'
| pressed his extreme gratifica ton at the
State Convention of County Superintend-
ents. which ended last night and which
was SO well attended. harmonious. and
restful. He says the expense was only
about $500. It was. as stated. met by the
General Educat ton Board. Mr. Joyner
says the plan of having district super
vision, which was agreed on, will be
found admirable. There are five districts,
each of from eighteen to twenty counties.
and the supervisor of each district Will
have a population of some 100000 to look
after. His duties will be to look after
the county superintendents and aid them.
Some of the county superintendent ap-
peared to have an idea that they might
be dispensed with. but this was great
error. There will be county. district and
State SUPERVISION each necessary to the
other.
