DO WE NEED SCHOOL SUPERVISORS

While diSclammg any disposition to be med.
dlesomey ofiieous in matters pertaining to the
administration of the public school system of the
oy, county or state The Times holds that it IS
the duty of the public spirited newspaper no less
than that Of the public spirited citizen, TO speak
plainly concerning matters of educational policy
wherein the interests Of the WHOLE people are in
volved
The public schools belong to the whole peo-
ple-thc people who foot the expense bills and pay
the Salaries-and the people therefore have an
unquestioned right TO interest themselves in the
way the school affairs are administered
Even the most casual observer has noticed that
there has been more or less strife aud contention
in the management Of the school affairs in Okla
homs City during the past ten years 1t is un
necessary TO rchearSe the story. Suffice il to say
that self interest has generally been at the bot
tom of the trouble Too often has there been an
effort at star chamber procedure with little
thought or care for the rights Of the supporting
public
Recently there has been another stir in city
school circles with mn investigation in the course
OF which personalities and arrimony were much
m evidence For several wears past there has
been maintained in the public school system Of
oklahoma CITY position entitled supervisor Of
primary work As to whether or not there is any
real need for it, there is at least room for dir
Ference of opinion for there are those who hold
that the work Of the primary grades could he
standardized without it.
The superintendent and the ward principal are
employed in supervisory capacities Supervisors i'm
drawing and music are manifcstly needed, since
these lines rall for special talent and training not
possessed by the average primary teacher Aside
from these branches. however il may we'll he
Questioned whether the expert supervisor business
is not being ovcrdone for the primary teacher is
proficient else she would not have been cmploycd
in the first place
just why the primary teachers many of whom
have been specially trained for this work in the
normal schools and the many who have also had
years of successful experience in actual work need
supervision in addition to that of the principals

only may the people make noise in this instance,
hut their votes finally decide the matter.
When congress by a two-thirds vote of the
membership of each house proposes an amendment

the states look while their legislatures act

sible that the voice of persistent and loudly in-
sistent minority will impress Legislature that it
