The Report points out that it is in

that the next sessions instance Of DO
litical influence Is exhibited. On this
subject the Report says:
The County Superintendent are
elected by the politically constituted
County Boards. The politicians view
the County Suporintendency as 'spoils,

Of the people permits them to dispose
Of it on that basis. \ general election,

Training OF Teachers.

In discussing the weaknesses of the
school situation in most of the coun-
ties, the Report points out that the
teaching force of the state is in a high
degree miscellaneous. On this funda.
mental point the Report states:
Regarding the training of these
teachers. no general statement can be
made at all. There are the widest pos
Sibe variations in the training of teach
ers doing the same grade of work-in-
conceivable confusion and lack of Sc
quence and order in their preparation.
