Except for New England, where the

county control of education is recon-
Of Education as an important factor
in the Improvement of rural schools.
According 10 A. c. Monahan. author
Of a bulletin just issued, the county IS
the unit Of supervision in at least 80
states OF the Union, and some form II
county control of schools is now founl
in IS states. Comparing county con"
troll with district and township con-
troll the county unit seems TO have
most to commend it, says the bulle-
tin, although the district unit is still
the most common form of control for
the country at large. The district
unit of organization is in practice in
IS states.
Mr. Monahan's investigation shows
that county control has been adopted
by most of the southern states, while
the district is the unit Of organization
in most of the states west Of the Mis-
sissippi river.
In the New England states, where
cities and incorporated towns are in
Guided in the township, and where the
township is the unit of local taxation
and local government in nearly all
civil affairs, township control has
proved very satisfa ctory.'
Where conditions are not eXcep-
tional, as in New England, MIR. Mona
han finds that county control recon >
mends Itself because it is already tbs
unit of supervision in most OF the
states: it gives the schools better
support by giving the entire county
the benefit of taxes paid by corpora
tions such as railroads; it gives the
schools better teachers with better
salaries, yet the schools are run more
economically: it removes the school
from unwise local influences and gives
opportunity for the selection OF teach
ers from a wider range and upon their
merits: it injects business into the
