The Need of Libraries.

"There is no movement for social bet
terment for country and village life, that
would not be forwarded BY a county H.
brary. Imagine a farmer on a rural
route, possessed OF sudden desire for
book that lays bare the mysteries of
filling silo or killing gophers, going to
his telephone and calling up the county
library, and stating his case. If the
rural carrier has not left town for the
days trip. il would be an easy matter
for the book to be hurried to him and
to reach its destination within a few
hours. Think OF Mrs. Jenkins. who is
to discourse at a meeting of the women's
department OF the farmers institute on
Substitutes for Pie How it viii en-
tighten her labors il she can send TO
the county library for handful OF cook
books - Suburban Life Magazine for

Sixty Years in One Position.

naSton Ia, can claim school su
lerintendcnt whose .erin OF serrice ri.
walls anything here or abroad, so FAR as
is known. Sixty years in one profess
t:or ia iu Itself remarkable enough. but
when it 4. added that S1pt. William w.
Cottingha,n's record is of sixty years
IN the same position, his case appears
30 be unparalleled.
Although few superintendent can
point to anywhere near as long term
of service as this, there are number
who have served for many years. A
list of some of the more notable cases
is given by Mr.. w. H. Hood in the
city school chapter of the 1912 report
of the commissioner OF education, just
issued. Supt. James NJ. Greenwood
of Kansas City, Mo-, is retiring after
80 years of service; Supt. Glass, at
Iynchburg, Va, has served since 1879;
Supt. Phillips, at Birmingham, has
served since 1888; Supt. McCymonds
has been at Oakland since 1885, Jacob
A. Shawan has been superintendent at
Columbus, Ohio, for "a years; Henry
CnVuer at Jersey WY, N. D., lOI Il
years; Charles N. Jordan at Minneapo
lis and Charles w. Dean at Bridgeport,
Conn, both for twenty years.
Supt. William II. Maxwell, of New
York City. has a record OF more than
quarter OF a century in a professional
administrative position in New York
City, if his term in Brooklyn be in
Guided
When Charles w. Cole died last year
he had given "a years Of life as super
mtendent of schools at Albany, n. Y, a
position which his father had held be-
fore him for long period of years.
Notwithstanding that life tenure is
by no means an accepted principle in
American school systems, the average
term of school superintendent in larg
ly supposed. In so cities of 100000 |
er cities is much longer than is usual
population and over the average term
of service is ~ years. This is in spite
of the fact that 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 stiff reelection contest. The
tendency is constantly toward longer
terms and fixed tenure as conducive to
efficiency.
