state and most important,it would concen-
trate all inspcctonal power in the hands
of the state superintendent. This, | be
licvc. would be highly dangerous"
Mr. Parlin said that the sole nspec.
ton power in the hands Of Supcriu-
tendcnt less high-mindcd than thc pres
cnt one might lead to the building mp
of a political machine that would be
injurious to the schools and ruinoUs to
independent thought among school men,
for who would dare to speak when the
unchecked report of a single Inspector
could not only secure his discharge but
could prevent his ever finding school
employment again in Wisconsin or else
wherc?'
The schools of Wisconsin have more
freedom under n double inspection >ys-
tenn than they will have under single
inspection Of any kind. But if We must
have single inspection system, let it
by all means be invested in Il board Of
eminent educators"
Mr.. ParIin agreed with the state SUI
perintcudcnt in that high schools should
have freedom from control He be-
lcvcd public schools should have free
dom from the control of the state uni.
versity. freedom from the control of th"
state superintendent and freedom Of
