Des Moines. Jan. 11.-How to take
school administration out of politics

Will be put right up to the legislature
by the educators of the state, and in
such a way that they can not this time
avoid meeting the issue. 1t is recalled

The commission will ask that as 10

pointment, that will cut out the poll
tics
Appoint County Superintendents.
First. as to county SuperiEtenCents
il is proposed. at least as one sugses-
ton. that they be appointed by a couE-
" educational board. This board shall
have the right to select men or wemen
without regard TO residence, as now IN
the case OF city superint endents and
principals of schools. The board will
be expected TO seek the best possible
person regardless of politics, residence
or personal influence. They may be
placed under contract for long time, or
otherwise.
The county board will consist of the
president of each one OF the township
boards who are 10 be elected. and
township boards will control the rural
schools.
Divorce Office Frem Politics.
AS to the state superintendent he
may be appointed by state education
a, board or other body especially des-
ignated for that purpose or be appoint
ed by the governor. There has been
consideration of plan for his election
bv non-partisan ballot, in much the
same way that officials are elected IN
commission cities; bu, it is believed
this plan will not meet with favor.
The main idea is to divorce school
administration from politics, TO place
ii on a strictly professional basis ana
thus to secure in all cases the very
best results for the schools, Until the
machinery of school administration Is
perfected it is believed not much can
he done toward betternent OF the
school system. The state mas oeei'

ucators under authority OF the state

steps be taken in the right direction.
