STATE CONVENTION OF COUNTY
SUPERINTENDENTS.

State Supt. Holloway, has issued
a call for a Convention of County
Superintendent, Board Members and
High School Principals. to meet in
Tallahassee. April II. An excellent
well arranged and neatly printed
program for the meeting has been
published, and is being distributed.
Supt. Holloway has our thanks for a
copy
1t is to be hoped there will be a
full attendance, as this is likely to be
one of the most important education
al meetings ever held in the state. 1t
is especially important that all the
senior high school principals in the
state should be there, as the ques-
tons of the revision of the present
high school course will come up for
consideration.
The Exponent suggests that at this
meeting the senior high school prin-

pare complete course for the high
schools of Florida, to be submitted
to the convention, and by the conven-
ton to the legislature. We have
good reason to believe that there Will
be no trouble in securing the adoption
by the legislature of a course so pre-
pared and endorsed.
For his pointed suggestion to coun-
ty Boards to bear the expenses of
their representatives to this meeting,
Supt Holloway deserves the sincere
thanks of every county Superintend-
ent and high school principal in the
state, and we here most cheerfully
record ours.-Florida School Expon-
