ALLOW TRAVELLING EXPENSES

The movement launched to aiio :
county superintendents OF public In
aiructlon their actual travelling e X
penscs when engaged in vlsltiHr
schools under thsir Jurisdiction seems
20 be a step In the risht direetion. II
"a understood that the matter VIII 5c
presented 20 the legislature and u is
hoped that tho lawmakers can be pre-
vailed upon to see merit in the request
and give the snperintendents a reason
able allowance TO cover these expenses
which they now have to pay out OF
their own bank accounts.
The county superintendent. II re
omit the sheriff who has been taken
care Of By law. Is the only county Of
ficiai whose duties require him &c do
much travelling. while on the other
hand his salary i much less than that
Of any other official. Just why the
legislature put a penalty on brains. rs
seems 10 have been done. Il not plain.
certainb there Is no department Of
our county work that is more import
ant than our school system md the
man In charge thereof should be paid
a salary corresponding 60 those Of
other officials. However. that IS neith-
err here nor there at this time. The
legislature has seen ut 70 act in the.
salary matter and We do not suppose
anything could be accomplished ny
agitating an increase al this time. Rut
that honorable body can partly make
amends for previous SHORTCOMINGS ~
giving the superintendents a travelling
expense account
Most New Mexico counties. because
OF their size and lack OF adequate
transportation facilities. are difficult
20 get over. The work OF visiting
schools is necessarily tedious. super
i~ntendents are compelled TO pay out
more mones on those trips than the
average person realizes. Therefore IL
would be a fine thing for the legisla-
ture 10 make some provision whereby
those In charge Of our educational
work may be reimbursed for expenses
incurred on those trips-an Infinitesi-
mai sum TO the taxpayers but one ~
much importance 20 the su9erintend-
n who has to pay 1t out OF his OF her
net too generous salary.
