HIGHER SALARIES GIVE BET
TER MEN.
Recommendation on County superin-
terldents of Education.

Columbia, Specialize State sup
erintendent Of education, Mr.. 0. B.
Martin, in his annual report will urge
higher salaries for the county super
Aintendents of education. His motive
for this is that man can now earn
more in private life than attending to
the duties of public Office as they
should be attended to by an honest
official. In the report MI. Martin
gives the results of his Inquiries in
other States and he also urges that
the school term be made longer and
that educational qualifications be
made necessary to election, thus taxi
ing the Office out of politics to large
extent. The last section Of his re-
port relating to this subject is as fol-
lows:
The best business men frequently
find that it is necessary to invest
more money in order to save invest
ments previously made. believe thai
it would be good business judgment
on the part Of the Legislature to spend
more money on county supervision IN
order to get full value of the money
! annually invested in that work. The
salaries of the majority Of our county
superintendents do not justify the SUI
perintendents in devoting their entire
time to their official duties. Many Of
them do not devote more than two
days in the week to their work. They
advertise Saturdays and salesdays. as
their Office days. In addition to@this
they do some field work but they are
forced to devote good part of their
time to making living for them
selves and families. This is not only
dividing time, but, worse than that, il
is dividing interest and attention. To
be successful county superintendent
it is necessary for a man to be en-
crossed in that work. He must think
about it while he is in the Office and
also while he is outside. I do not be-
lieve that it IS possible for man
to serve conflicting interests at the
same time.
Salaries by Counties.
There has been considerable i'm
provement in salaries of superinten'
dents during the past few years. Still
We are far behind some Of the Other
States in this respect The n"'--.--

The carelessness of railroad en-
ployes has again resulted in some
heavy damage to the property of the
Indiana Harbor railroad. car left
the track and was dragged along for
fully three quarters of a mile, cutting
up ties and otherwise damaging the
property. It is beyond comprehension
how a matter of this kind could pos
sibly have occurred without the
knowledge Of the switchman. Sure
ly the engine must have shown
signs of extra power being exerted
in pulling the dragging car. This fact
alone should have been enough to
show that something was wrong
Furthermore the switchman on top of
the cars should have seen the car off
the track and signaled the engineer,
but it seems that there was something
radically wrong. The above is
good example of the recent wrecks due
to the ineficiency Of the railroad
employees, and no doubt good many
Of our big wrecks were due to care
lessness.
