XVrHEN OUR state constitutional convention
w bunchcd the elective educational officials of
New Mexico, state and county, with other
state aud county offices for election purposes they
were looking upon these educational positions as
political Jobs.
When our legislature submitted a constitution
al amendment reducing terms of public officers
from four To two years and when they failed 10 cx-
cludc from the un-succcssion clause of that amend
ment the state and county school superintendent
they were still thinking of these offices rs political
jobs as pie 10 be passed around.
OF course we know that competent administra-
ton OF our educational institutions requires the
services of men with thorough. expert training. and
mature experience. Every time we change a thor
uughly competent educational executive. even IL
another competent man be- put into the place (which
unfortunately docs not always happen in elective
Offices. the public and the schools lose and lose
heavily. The longer We can keep u competent. con
S%rlcntious school administrators on his Job the bet
ter service we get. II IS cumulative.
New Mexico now has a thoroughly competent,
thoroughly conscientious, highly energetic Supcrin-
tendcnt of public instruction. His term of office
expires next January. \ successor must be elected
on November 1th. Fortunately the non-succession
prohibition does not run against the present incum-
bent for two more years. We may continue the
efficient conduct OF that highly important office
for two more years. II we wish 10 do IT,.
That j. II. Wagner, state school superintendent.
has proven himself the right man in the right Job
j. evidenced by the expert testimony of his fellow
educators throughout the state. Recently the Chavcs
county teachers institute adopted unanimously
this resolution:
We likewise express our approval. OF
the administration of our state supcriu,cn-
dent, iI0 j. H.. Wagner. dckn) yledging
with gratitude his untiring and mselilsh
interest in the promotion of our school syS-
TEN throughout the state, and the great
progress that is being made during his adj
ministration. ~
This Is similar 10 many such resolutions, which
have been adopted since Mr.. Wagner finished the
first year of his direction of the schools ot this
state. He has proven his capacity for a big job;
his carneStnesS Is beyond question. The results oh
tanned prove the efficiency of his training, tho
souudnc>s of his theory and the practical character
of his methods.
Here is an official who. at the end Of two years
Iu office, acknowledging the services already well
rendered, Is Just reaching his fullest efficiency in
Dis department of the public service. To change
INN now and put IA q new man would mean that
we must pay for two more years of preliminary
work 10y his successor. With every change OF a
Competent man in this vitality important office the
people, the children and the state lose heavily.
