whipping Miss Boise gave the

cuscd him Of being responsible for
the fact that the joints are rum

Supervision.

The time is drawing near again
when Audraiu county will decide
whether it wants county school
sup ervision or not. AS a teacher,
and as one interested in education
to its highest and fullest develop
mcnt, | wish TO make Il few state
mentS that may be Of interest TO
voters.
In Il recent trip to Illinois |
found that the people there con-
slider the County Supervisor one of
the most important officers in the
county and pay him better than
most Of the other officers.
The commissionership is an Of
fee requiring Il great deal of cler-
zeal work Gas much as some other
county oilices), with Il misery pay
that does not Justify Il man in de-
voting his time exclusively to the
work, so he has to teach to make
his living, consequently he is
worked out of reason. have
heard our present County Com
missioner say he .cOuld not even
attend church on Sunday for at
tending to his duties that had to
be done.
We pay out more money to keep
up our schools than we do for all
other public purposes in the coun-
ty. Then it is evident that we
need Il supervisor to see that we
get the best results from the eX-
penditure of this vast amount of
money. There would be no crea-
ton of a new Office, as many sup
pose, but simply an addition of
duties and raising the salary sufli-
GENTLY to enable person to de-
vote all his time to visiting and
supervising the schools of the
county. His salary would be say
ed to the county many fold by his
wisely directing the efforts of the
teachers, arousing enthusiasm,
awakening teachers from that state
of listlesSness and unconcern into
which many fall. 1t takes uni
