scHooL SUPERINTENDENT.

@ SUPERINTENDENT BROOKS Of
O the Sussex county public schools
has not been content 70 sit down
and draw his salary. He seems to have
taken his appointment seriously and
Is now gratined with seeing certain re-
suits. His crusade FOR warmer, cleaner
and better ventilated school houses call
cd up the wrath Of obstructionists but
we VIII guarantee that next winter Will
show a reform OF many of'the abuses.
His appeal for decent salaries has all
ready borne fruit, as many school
boards have been shamed into paying
living wages. That is the kind Of SUI
perintendent that is needed-an edu-
Gator and an honest man, and not a
mere politician Mr.. Brooks may not
swing many votes on election day; he
may not spend his idle hours IN dis
cussins politics. but he is performing a
service to the children Of his county. a
service that is no less real because it
may never be appreciated.
Delaware Is making an advance in
education. Gradually the authorities
are coming to realize that a school su-
perlntendent must be a professional and
trained teacher, just as judge must
be a lawyer. Gradually we are getting
away from the idea that the onice of
superintendent IS a part OF the spoils
system and carries with It certain po-
ltcal obligations. The schools of
New Castle county have a live. up-to-
date man who is absorbed In his work
The Wilmington schools are equally
fortunate. but unfortunately there is
not always that enthusiastic support on
the part Of school boards that is neces-
sary for the most efficient work And
we have often noted the fact that the
most ignorant the most benighted
member Of school board always has
the most to say. and is Of course ever
the most persistent foe Of progress.
However our superntendents by
keeping constantly at 1t; by attend.
ing strictly TO their duties and keeping
the needs Of the schools ever uppermos
are creating healthy public sentiment
which viii come to demand that whlcl
is necessary and proper.
