A WISE CHANGE

THE HERALD has advocated removal of the restriction against re-
election of state and county school superintendent after two sue
y cc,Ivc terms. because we have regarded that restriction as n ser.
ions obstacle in the way of the most efficient service in school admin.
i>iration. To forbid continuance in office of am efficient school adj
miuistator ON purely political grounds is ridiculous.
We regard as much more desirable the proposal now before the
Legislature. to take the school SupcrintcndcntS completely out Of the
political elections. by making them appointivc.
II is more or less idle 10 talk of taking the schools out of pol
tiles 50 long rs we retain a government of parties. But we can go
far toward removing school administration from the whimS, vagar
les aud accidents of partisan elections by providing for the appoint
mrnt of The administrative officers by responsible boards who can act
with dciberation on whom full responsibility can be fixed.
The general character of school administration in New Mexico
is q single school superintendent III the state at present who IS not
seeking 10 administer the office conScicntiouSy; in spite of the recent
statement made by senator Hrcklcy of Lincoln county in a speech
i'm the senate. that there are some Supcrintcndents who are running
the office a a side line.
But because of the restriction against reelection and because of
the fortunes of partisan elections and the whims of nominating con
vcntions, some of the best supcrintcndcnts the state has had have
gone out of the service.
New Mexico city schools are uniformly better than the county
schools This is not wholly due to the fact that they are better
equipped and supported. 1t is very largely due to the fact that the
supcrin,cndcnts are chosen carefully and deliberately and that when
a competent officer is found, he is retained, and is free to carry out
his policy from year to year, building from term TO term, and not
thinking of or fearing the next election.
We believe that the appointment of the school superintendent,
state and county, would be a long step forward toward n settled pub
lie school policy and toward sound and economical school admin
istraton.
