ence. All of them held first class GER
tifcates and had had normal training.
OF course there was not enough
supervision over 1O5 schools to keep
fifteen supervisors busy, so each Of
them taught his or her own little
school out in the county If the super
visor had taught from Monday through
Friday there would have been no
time for visiting the other six schools
in his group.
The plan outlined for this school
year has been for the supervising
teacher TO hold school from Tuesday
through Saturday, thus leaving Mon
day open for visiting the other schools.
BY visiting three schools each Mon
day the supervising teacher would be
able to reach all six schools once ey-
cry two weeks. This makes it possible
for the county superintendent to have
a report from an expert from every
portion of the county twice a month.
With the supervisor handling a small
group, bad roads cannot make the
work impossible. There is also the
added advantage that mt the opening
OF the school year. when many young
and rather inexperienced teachers are
in great need Of help, the supervisor is
close at hand to give the required as
sistance.
Close and constant supervision IS
the price Of success in any business,
| and our badly scattered rural schools
are no exception. We have not got
the returns from our expenditure Of
money on our rural schools because
there was no supervision to learn
where the leaks were and how they
might be stopped or repaired.
Money and money IN any amount
needed will come as soon as supervi
sion makes the public know that re-
suits will be obtained. Our children
have been taught in any fashion that
suited the individual that was In the
neighborhood "keepin' school" Nat
urally the children did not know what
was the matter when they failed to
make suitable progress; neither did
their parents.
Every one knew that the interest Of
both the children and their parents
Jagged. They also knew that many
Of the older children dropped out Of
school because they were thoroughly
dissatisfied
Reports from county superintendent
all over the state show that there Is a
new spirit both in the teaching force
and among the children under this
new influence Of supervision. II is a
simple proposition II is that both
teachers and children arc becoming
conscious OF definite work that Is be-
ing done ia thoroughly systematic
manner.

There never was a time I'm the his
tory of the old commonwealth when
its future looked as bright as It does
in this year of 1918. No matter where
one goes I'm the length and breadth OF
the state one hears schools being dis
cussed. Many new buildings are be
ing erected in the place Of those which
have so long been a disgrace to the
communities that have permitted them
TO exist.
Plans are being discussed in many
localities for larger grounds and better
equipment. The teachers are being
more carefully selected than in the
past, and there is a general feeling
that school problems should be fairly
met and solved
This feeling has resulted in marked
