Apoplexy.
The Lee County journal. (Leesburg, Ga.) 1904-19??, 1911-08-03

There is no reason whatever that
superintendent of the sort indicated,
shouldnot be provided for country schools.
Indeed, it is more needed in country than
in city schools for the reason that city
teachers have ordinarily had more advan
tages than country teachers and are bet
ter prepared to do their work without
supervision. OF course it would be neces-
sary to make many changes in order to
meet local needs, but the spirit of the
work described could be infused into
country just as fully as into city superin-
tendence. The visits and teachers meet
ings would necessarily be fewer, but the
same sort Of work could be done and the
same sort of development go on.
There is now bill before the Georgia
legislature, providing that County
School Superintendent be substituted for
the County School Commissioners. This
officer is to be paid salary sufficient to
enable him to give all his time to his
work and he is to be required to visit his
schoals and supervise the work of his
teachers, train and develop them, and to
promote the interests Of the school and
community in every way possible. Anoth-
er clause provides that the State School
Commissioner shall appoint 8 supervisors
who shall conduct institutes, help in the
professional training of the country
teachers, and do all in their power to in
crease the efficiency of these teachers.
The effect of such ameasure, fully carried
OUT, on the improvement of country
schools can hardly be over-estiInated. 1t
is hoped that many counties will have
superintendent like the one described
above. The prtrons and lovers of the
country schools everywhere, should speak
to their representatives in the lie stature
and urge the passage of the bill.

remedy OF these evils. He tries to change
all bad conditions pointed out by the
teachers and develops among them
spirit Of cooperation with him, with each
other, with the parents of the children,
and with the community at large. He
brings to them every means of culture
and self improvement within his power,
encourages them to attend summer
schools, gives readily leave of absence
in order that a teacher may study year
without losing his position, rewards merit
by an increase of salary and promotion
and is the trusted friend and counselor
of his teachers both officially and unof-
ficially. Blessed if the city which has
such superintendent
OF course, there are few superintend-
ents OF city schools so imbued with asense
of their own superiority and SO lacking
in human sympathy that they are die
tatorial, harsh in criticism, and tyranni-
cally bent on carrying out their own plans
regardless OF the personality OF the
teachers, These superintendent do not
have good schools and are always in
antagonism with their teachers and with
the community. To perform well his
duty, a superintendent must be strong
and wise, but capable Of self effacement;
firm and persistent, but full of human
sympathy and reverence for human per-
sonality. He must know how to give
constructive rather thon destructive cri-
ticisin, to bear with human weakness, to
strengthen weak hands and to guide wan
dering footsteps.
