Resolutions.
We. the teachers of Marion county.
in Institute at Fairmont, September
ST, make the following resolutions:
I've recognize in district super
vision one of the most potential fac
tors in the upbuilaing OF the country
schools, and would most respectfully
urge upon the next legislature the
enactment of law providing for a
superintendent in every district In
the State.
2.-we favor county Board OF Ed
ucation to be. composed of the press
idSnts of the various boards OF the
districts, whose duty it shall be CO
law the levy for school purposes thus
making the county the unit OF taxa
ton. and we recommend that that
mart of the school law relating to the
an6ointment Of trustees be stricken
out and that tho application of teach
ars and the conditions of the schools
he made known TO the Board OF Edu-
cation by the District superintend-
ents.
8-we favor consolidation and cen
tra1ization of schools wherever prae-
ticabIe,
term of school.
6-we favor uniform text books ZOE
the State.
5-We favor uniform text books Tor
and we recommend that where the
district cannot meet all the expenses
Of the same that the State lend sutti-
Gent aid.
I've favor a minimum salary OF
$50 for first grade certificates.
8-we believe that teaching should
relate to the locality in which the
school is found, giving special atten-
tom to gardening and agriculture, 1t
having been adopted In the course OF
st,1dv in the state Normal SCHOOLS,
stem which We heartily endorse.
eve heartily endorse the move
meD+ OF the Antt-Cigarette Assccia-
ton of West Virginia in striving to
81 crvstalize the sentiment among the
teachers against the cigarette evil
that a bill may be passed by the next
legislature prohibiting absolutely the
sale of cigarettes and cigarette mater
lials in our State.
