COUNTY CONTROL OF EDUCATION
Is Recommended Except for New Eng
land States.

Except for New England, where the
township plan works admirably, county
control of education is recommended by
the United States bureau of education
as an important factor in the improve
ment of rural schools.
According to A. G. Monahan, author
of bulletin just issued the county is
| the unit of supervision in at least 80
states of the union, and some form of
county control of schools is now found
in Is states. Comparing county control
with district and township control, the
County unit seems to have most to com
mend it," says the bulletin, 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 % states.
Mr.. Monahans investigation shows
that county control has been adopted by
most of the southern states, west OF
the Mississippi river.
In the New England states, where
cities and Incorporated towns are includ-
ed in the township, and where tie town
ship is the unit of local taxation and 10.
cal government in nearly all civil af-
fairs, ''the township control has proved
very satisfactory"
Where conditions are not exceptional,
as in New England, Mr.. MQnahan finds
that county control recommends itself
because it is already the unit of super
vision in most of the states; it gives
the schools better support by giving the
entire county the benefit of taxes pafd
by corporations 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
for the selection of teachers
from a wider range and upon their mer-
its; it injects business into the manage
ment OF the schools with no axes to
grind, no favOrites TO reward a small
board for all schools OF county pro-
yides the best possible schools for all
the children"
