At a largely attended meeting of the Jefferson County Teachers Asso- fiation,. and after q heated discussion today, 1t was decided to adopt a report of the legislative committee named some weeks back, to recommend amendments to the school laws of the State. This report, among other things, recommends an amendment to the present laws so that the supeTin- tendents of schools can be elected by tho County Board of Education instead of by the people direct.
 The recommendations also suggest that the County Boards of Education could go out of the district to secure q superintendent, though it is under stood that all -supGrintendents eIected shall hold a frst-class or life certi- hcate from the State Board of Exam iners. The amendments to the law provide that tho salaries of the sal- perintendents of county schools shall be fixed by the Boards of Education, and the superintendents elected shall devote all their time to the work; that County Superintendents, with the ad- vice of the local district trustees, nominate all teachers and that the county boards elect all teachers.
