er for first place in this respect"
The most glowing defect Of our
present county school system is the
salary of the county superintendent.
eQuate pay?
Even with the increasing salary made
by our last session we have not met
in full the financial obligation to
this group Of public officials.
We knew that IL the control of our
county schools is taken out of the
hands of the farmers that the County
Board of Education will employ
county superintendent at greatly in
creased salaries. Must we use this
drastic method in order to secure ad-

There is much agitation through
out the United States as to the pro-
per method OF selecting State Board
Of Education and State Superinten-
dent of Public instruction.
Educational experts from our col

includes the appointment of the State

ment.
There are two forces at work in the
United States in the educational field
Numerically opposed to each other.
The first group Of education ii
thinkers advocate that our schools be
placed under specialized group con
troll.
The second group, of educational
thinkers believe that since the ma
ton Is government of the people
and for the pople" that the people are
entitled to direct control Of their pub
lie school system and the right to
elect their chief educational officers.
The code commission report repre-
sents the contention Of the first group.
Even where the county unit sys-
tenn has been adopted there is no UNI
formity. In Delaware and Maryland
the county boards of education arc
appointed by the governor; in North
Carolina they are elected by the legis-
lature; in South Carolina they arg
appointed by the state board Of edu-
cation; in Georgia they are elected by
the grand juries; in Tennessee they
are appointed by the county courts;
in Missouri they are appointed by the
county superintendent, while in Ala
no E1NuSIo tc{o nsy
are elected by the people.
So far North Dakota is the only
state west Of the Mississippi river
that has adopted the county unit plan
of organization.
The school code commission would
discharge every board of directors in
every school district in the state ex-
cept in towns and cities having pop
ulation Of 1900 or more people. Ad-
herence to such a plan would take
away, from no less than 10 counties
in the state, every school board men,

Our country schools are at present
under the control of over-worked and
under-paid county superintendents.
The leader Of all movements Of ed.
ucational and social development OF
the common schools in every county

The law assigns to the position OF
q county superintendent Of schools
many powers and duties. both clerical
and administrative. 1t is imperative

Analysis Of School Code Report.
There Is an insistent call from diff
ferent parts Of the state for my in
depreciation of the report of the
school code commission. In order to
meet this demand am making this
statement for my biennial report and
for publication at this time. :
The outstanding recommendations
Of the school code commission are as
follows:
(1) The abandonment of the pres
emit school district system and the es-
tablishment of county unit plan un-
der q centralized county board Of ed.
ucation with large powers.
CD The abolishing Of the election
Of a state superintendent of schools
by popular vote and the appointment
of the state superintendent by state
board of education which in turn has
been appointed by the governor.
60 The adoption of 30-10-15
plan which means $50 per census
child to be raised by state; SO per
census child to be raised by the coun-
ty, and an increasing of the school
district tax levy to Is mills without
q vote of the people.
There Is recommended a change in
distribution of the state school fund
and 1t is proposed that 1t be appor-
toned upon the plan now being used
to distribute county funds-one-third
according to the number of teachers
employed and two-thirds according to
attendance.
The County Unit.
The commissions recommendation
to adopt county unit is the most i'm
portant one before the people of this
state at this time.
There are two important phases Of
any county unit plan-financial and
administrative. The laws Of the state
Of Washington already provide for a
semi-county unit plan so far as cur
rent school finances are concerned.
The question of the administrative
side of this problem is too vital for
passing consideration. It strikes at
Washington standard. [volume] (Olympia, Wash. Territory) 1860-1921, 1920-12-21

district.
Washington now boasts Of the
largest consolidated school district in
the world. 1t Is district 204 o,
Lewis County. A we'll paid superin-
tendent of schools is In charge Of
this district which includes an area
Of twenty-five by sixty miles. There
are three high school centers and q
number of outside one-room schools
under efficient supervision.
There are 257 consolidated school
districts In our state, several Of
which have well paid superintendents
who are developing rural high
school system of education that is
adapted to the needs Of the commu-
nifty life.
In 1910 there were 121 CONSOLE
dated schools in our state. In 1920
we have 257, an increase Of ia per
cent.
In addition there are numerous
cancellations each year which en-
large established cancellations. For
instance, this past year there have
been 20 cancellations enlarging for
mer ones which are not enumerated
in the above nor added to the total.
Difference in Per Capita CQst.
The school code commission has
called attention to certain inequali-
ties which exist between school dis
tricts. That inequalities do exist il
not denied, but q great social and
economic question as well as an edu-
cational one is involved in the prot
lem of nigh per capita cost In certain
school districts of the state. This
fact should be kept clearly in mind
by the thinking public in the study
of school legislation, especially that
part which deals with q change In
the school finances. The depopulated
school districts Of the wheat section
of eastern Washington furnish us with
an economic problem that cannot be
solved by adjustments in school ad-
ministration.
A few typical examples may be
given.
Many homesteaders in the newer
sections of our state find it impos.
sible to provide school for their chill
dren because Of poor roads, or almost
a lack of roads. In some cases the
distance from any other school
makes it necessary either to main
tain school at high cost per capita
or entirely deprive these children oil
the opportunity to obtain an educa-
ton. One district in an eastside
county contains an area of 648 square
miles. Families are scattered il,
such way that all of the children
cannot be brought together in one
place for instruction, thus entailing
a high cost per capita.
In another county a group Of set
tiers established homes in forest
reserve for the purpose of working
for private company. These chill
dren required the services Of an ad-
ditional teacher with q resultant high
per capita cost.
In another county are two one-
room school. located I'VE miles apart.
The roads are too poor to admit Of
transportation. One school has ave
pupils. and the other II. IN this case
the Topography Of the county made !
