Recently H. Darrah of w II " Poir'

LEGISLATION PRO-
POSED
BY THE NEVADA STATE TEACH
ER's ASSOCIATION
Once Of Ex-Ohacio County Supertn-
tendent Should Be Abolished
State Board of Education
Should Be Increased

One year ago today at the meeting
Of the Nevada State Teachers Asso-
citation there was appointed commit
teen on legislation with instructions to
prepare a plan to secure adequate
school supervision in the state. After
considerable study and discussion, and
after consulting with the ex-officio
county superintendents and Others
qualified to express opinions, the com
mittee adopted a plan which was sub
mitted to the association at it's last
meeting, the teachers unanimously
adopt 'ng its main features.
The leading features of the proposed
plan are as follows:
The office Of the ex officio county
superintendent should be abolished and
system of educational supervision by
deputy superintende nts of public in
struction should be adopted. The dep
uty superintendents should be educa-
tional expert with several years sue
cessful experience in the schools.
2. Most of the powers and duties
row belonging to the Office of county
superintendent should be given to the
state superintendent, who would ger
form them with the assistance of h;
deputies. a few minor duties might bf
left with the district attorneys or with
the clerks of the school boards for lc
cal convenience.
3. 1t would be the duty of the depu
ty superintendent of public instruction
to devote most of their time to visit
ing schools, advising with teachers and
school officers. Every school in eacl
supervision district into which the
state would be divided should be Wis
tied as often as consistent with good
work. The deputies should be the
strongest educational leaders in the
state.
A. The state board of education
should be increased to FIVE members
by the appointment by the governo-
Of two leading teachers of the state
5. The deputy superintendent
should be nominated by the superin-
tendent of public instruction and con
firmed by the state board of education
6. Teachers examinations should
be given in each county as at present
but all papers should be graded under
the authority of the state board, and
all certificates should be issued by this
board.
7. The salaries of the deputy super
intendents should be as large at that
received by the leading school princi-
Piles of the $2000-in order to
attract the best talent into the work.
Superintendents of inferior ability
would not be worth their travelling ex-
penses.
s. The state school tax rate, which
is very low at present, should be in
creased to six cents on the hundred
dollars.
