Notwithstanding that life tenure is
by no means an accepted principle in
American school systems. the average
term of school superintendent in
larger cities is much longer than is
usually supposed. In so cities of 1907
900 population and over the average
term of service is seven and one-half
years. This is in spite of the fact thai
school superintendent are elected for
comparatively short terms, one, two,
or three years, generally. and to have
served long usually means to have
withstood many a stiff reelection con-
test. The tendency is constantly to.
ward longer terms and fixed tenure as
conducive to efficiency.
