THE STATE SUPERINTENDENT.
Position at Head of Schools Becoming
More Important.

Constant growth in the importance OF
the position of state superintendent OF
schools is reported by the United States
bureau of education. In his survey OF
the educational legislation for the year
j. c. Boykin declares:
"The Importance of the Office constant
~ increases. New duties and response,
bilities are steadily added, and larger
salaries are offered to attract and hold
men of the caliber to make the position
in fact as well as in name, the head of
the state educational system.
"The tendencies are all in the direction
% increasing the dignity, responsibility,
and salary of the state superintendent.
The legislation of the year contained
many instances in point. The commits
sioner of education in Massachusetts
was authorized to approve bills for ex-
penditures from funds placed under the
direction of the board of education. In
New Jersey, the state commissioner of
education now appoints all the county
superintendent. He also determines
and certifes to the educational qualifi-
cations of applicants for admission to
medical colleges.
"In Virginia the state superintendent
is charged with similar duties in CON
nection with medical colleges.
an Kentucky il was enacted that the
state superintendent shall act as spe-
cial inspector and examiner of oil
schools in the state which receive pub
lie funds; for this service he is to re-
eeive 81 500 additional salary; he may
appoint two assistants at 81 900 each per
annum, with their expenses for travel
ing; and he is allowed 81 600 additional
for clerk hire. In vague and genera
way, the superintendent probably had
already the power given him by this |
law but il is now definite and specific. /
and the additional help given him viii |
enable him to perform his duties in an
effective manner not possible hitherto. |
And the 81 500 added to his salary will |
prove to be difference that is very |
real"
Although the tendency to increase
the power and responsibility Of the
state superintendent is very strong, sal
airy inducements have not always kept |
pace with the requirements, according to
The report. at is still unfortunately
true" says Mr. Boykin, "that in many
,ases, the superintendent of the large
sites and the heads of all the impor
Lant institutions in a state receive con-
higher salaries and have far
more certain tenure than the man who
5 nominally their official superior"

SCHOOL EXPENSES.
Arthur S. Martin Opposes Bonding for
Enlarging Spaulding Building

/ Editor, Times, In view of the heavy
/ burden of taxation which our mantifac
turers Of Barre are facing this year. OF
account of the extra personal property
tex with no offsets, would it not be q
little better to go slower with our ex
/ psnses in the school department?
! As we now have a vacant room in the
| Lincoln school and also less scholars be-
tween the ages of and is than we had
three years ago and as we provide a
drawing school Il think the only one in
tie statel ought we to plunge into debt
unnece ssarilyf
The city has $4,000 of unpaid Lincoln
school bonds and it will be a heavy tax
burden for posterty to take care OF the
100000 that is being asked for now. 1t
has been our experience that 4-room
sstool building has cost the city $500
per room. while the cost of S-room
buildings has been s. 200 per room. That
Icing the case, where is the gain in
erecting large buildingsf
The ambiguous tax laws are partieu-
iarly hard on the manufacturers and if
they are hsmpered in any way it will
be serious for US all.
Barre is the only large town in the
state that has had decreasing tax rate
in the past 10 years, and ! hope we will
keep on in the same direction, and as
our grandlist this year will be probably
$4,000 a S2.l5 rate will raise more
than s2.35 rate last year.
I would like TO know why it would
not be feasible to use Spaulding school
building wholly for high school purposes
ard devote the other buildings to the
grades and save an expense of $4,000
or $4,000.
To be sure, il would be desirable to
have our scholars housed in brick build
ings and have every condition ideal, but
would IL not be better to give the other
of the city a fair share and
| think the school directors ought to be
very well satisfied OF they have $4,000
to spend on the S.room Beckley street
building
The large real estate owners are not
the ones that the taxes are going to fall
on the hardest. but the man who is try
ing to pay for a home and has all he
can do to get along. as this program of
bonding the city for 100000 is going 20
cost the average householder about S45
per house and the working man is the
cne who eventually shoulders the bur
dens.
have always been proud OF our city
school and no class of city officials have
d1ne better or given so much OF their
time without recompense as the school
directors, vet in my judgment it is not
for the greatest good of the greatest
number to pay the city help less than
p per day and 10 curtail the expenses
of the poor department and still he so
