WE MUST HAVE BETTER SUPER.
INTEhDENTS.

Tho greatest need of tho public
school system in Virginia is better
supervision. and that means better
pay for school superintendent. Some
time ago a bright young man, who
had graduated from college with hon
ors. was induced to take the position
of superintendent in his own county.
He has lcen doing fine work, but, as
the pay is only $500 n year. he is
grumbling, and ne VIII not continue
unless the pay is materially Increased
How can the state expect n we'll edu-
Gated Young man to devote his life to
such n work for Si00 year? This
is only one case. but there are many
more like this. and as q consequence
supervision in Virginia is al low
mark. In fact. Virginia seems to be
behind all other Southern states in
this respect, so far as we have been
able to gather The average salary
of division superintendent In Virgil
mia Is only $500 per anum. There
are eleven superintendets who re-
ceive only 5000 each The five nigh
est salaries are:
Norfolk. $1.215
Pittsylvania. $i.l51.

IN Louisiana the average salary of
superintondents is $l.0G9: the lowest
salary is $500; the five highest from
$4,000 to $500. Two thirds OF the
superintendent give their entire time
TO their school duties.
Georgia pays her superintendent
SO per day for actual services in coun-
ties containing less than 10000 in
habitants, and each superintendent is
required 10 visit every school at least
once year. In the larger counties

scorc Of years ago that one OF the
leading officials of the great plant
which tho then Thomas A. Edison
Company was establishing made the
statement that some day 1900 would
be employed" People thought he was
dreaming. To-day at that very same
plant 1900 people are given employ
ment. The first American statistics
on electricity as applied to the rail
way worc not gathered until about
1890. At that time there were only

The utilization of electricity for TO
many things has been of incnlculabic
benefit to city aud town Ever since
this new factor in mechanical energy
appeared wonderful progress has been
made in telography, clcctroplating,
electric lighting, electric traction,
electric heating, forging, welding anG
cooling and In the extraction of min
erals and precious metals The use
fulncss of all OF these things has been
gradually felt by tho suburban rs VOL

there is II closer knitting together OF
city ana town interests, thereby Gre
aiing more facilities for commerce
and rendering possible the diffusion
OF information throughout remote dis
tricts In the several states. by the
aid of electricity the American people
now exchange yearly hundreds OF

probably use tho telephone ten times
