Local School Boards.

Local School Boards.
New Orleans States.
Last week the State Board O:
Education met at Baton Rouge
and appointed the local board.
to supervise the schools in the
several parishes throughout the
State. In several of the parishes
there were differences with re
gard to names proposed for the
local boards, and a number OF
them were laid over to a subse.
quent meeting of the board, a
delay which will result in nc
inconvenience inasmuch as the
schools are all in vacation now
and will not resume until some
time later.
While we cannot speak for the
merits Of all the members ap-
pointed on SO many different
boards, yet in looking over the
list we find a number of names
of leading men in the several
parishes as among those selected,
the enlistment of the active in
terest of whom in the work of
education being a guarantee of
good results. The States has
not been an advocate of elective
school boards under the condi-
tons existing in this State, for
reasons which we have fire.
quently set forth in these
columns. Unless some form of
election could be invented to
prevent political trading and
swapping, we believe that the
best men in a community would
not consent to enter the scramble
for the responsible but purely
honorary position of member of
the local school board.
The best men might accept if
rendered as a compliment and be
perfectly willing to devote their
talents and time to the service
of the people, but they would
not be apt to contend for it in a
political hurdle race where merit
is not in it with expert trading.
For these reasons, and until our
people shall have become sensi-
BILE of the Importance to the
public interests of securing the
very best men for these posi-
tons, the States has believed
that the appointment of the local
boards by the State Board of
Education will be productive of
the best results for the time
We are aware that there
are those who charge that the
appointment OF these local boards
places an immense power in the
Of the Governor which
might be used improperly; but
this objection can, in our judg-
ment, better be met by the
election of Governors who have
regard for their public obliga-'
than by a doubtful change
the existing system.
AS a matter of fact the State
Superintendent of Public Educa-
ion is the official whose business
t is to see that none but capable
md clean men should be ap-
on the local boards.
There is perhaps no man better
qualified for this particular duty /;
han is Superintendent Aswell,
.ho, for months past, has been
ngaged in looking up this very
natter in all the parishes. Nil
