and has forced them to recognize the
need for revision of courses of study
and methods of teaching.
While the salaries of teachers In
this state are comparatively higher
than those of teachers in other states
the salaries of the superintendent is
lower by comparison than those of
the superintendent of many of the
other states, and the requirements
are much greater. Deputy superin-
tendents are required to possess the
highest educational qualifications
and the most extensive experience of
any state officers and they receive the
lowest salaries paid to any state Of
ncers.
The demand of the times is for
more individual attention to children.
In order to make this possible 1t will
be necessary to reduce the number of
children under the instruction of a
single { eacher. A plan tried in
Pueblo. Colorado. and Batavia, New
York, provided an additional teach
er for each room. thereby making it
possible for one teacher to devote her

entire time and attention to assist
ing individual children In the work
in which they We're behind. This
plan might have worked out very
we'll. but an economic problem pre-
sented itself and the board of trus-
tees in each case increased the num-
Der of children In the rooms until the
beneficial effect was practically lost.
There are children who are short in
some phases of their work and II is
probable that such children are real
ly strong In other subjects. Indi-
vidual attention will bring out these
strong features, while in a crowded
school oom they are frequently lost
altogether. The elementary schools
should develop in each child an ambi-
ton to do something as a life works
and should start him we'll on his way
in that direction. | consider this the
greatest problem that confronts the
public schools today. If 1t is solved
successfully the solution will put an
end to the adverse criticism that is
being made against the public
schools.

them. Along these lines, Nevada is
making good progress, and is prob
ably keeping pace with the advance
made in other states.
The matter of supervision is of
prime importance to every school
system. Until a few years ago poll
tees cut a large figure in the selec-
ton of superintendent, and much
harm was done in allowing personal
and political prejudices to interfere
with the working of the schools.
During the past five years there has
been a very strong tendency to re-
move these obstacles from education
al work. Nevada was the first state
to adopt a system based entirely
upon a nonpolitical choice of field
superintendent. In this state during
the past six years political preference
has been unknown in the selection of
supervisors of the schools.
| have gone into this matter at
length to show that the present stat
us of educational work is not meet
ing with approval. There is a de-
mand for something better forcing
these changes. and that demand has
become so strong that 1t has over
come the conservatism of teachers

some other states. We have ample
funds for reasonable support of a
majority of Il schools, and the sal
aries paid to teachers rank high as
compared with those paid in other
states. However, there are schools
which do not now receive sufficient
money from the state and county
funds for proper support. and there
is increasing cost for school MAIN
tenance. The methods of distribu-
tion can be improved so that inequ-
able apportionment of school money
will be eliminated. In the solution
of this problem, l would advise that
the state tax for school PURPOSES be
increased to 10 cents per 500 as
sessed valuation SO as to equalize
the county taxes required. and that
the appointments be made upon a
basis of a fiat amount to each school
from the state funds.
