SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS

Thirty-f1ve educators, we are told
have applied for the post of Superin-
tendent of our public schools, which
became vacant when DIR. Clifford j.
Scott resigned to accept similar po-
sition in New Jersey. Men of all
mental calibres and varying expert
ences are seeking this office. and
il will be no easy matter for the
Board of Education TO choose from
among these a man who will accept
ably follow DIR. Scott.
In certain sense the selection Of
this new principal may be the great
est act which our board will perform
for several years. Certainly il is
an act which will have large conse-
quenccs for either good or evil. de-
pending upon the character, ability
and mental point Of view Of the man
himself. The welfare and the prog
reSs or our school system to certain
extent will rest On his shoulders.
We realize the gravity Of this duty
which faces the board. and We hope
that each member will carefully con
slider all applicants. so that an unwisc
choice may not be made. 1t would be
better for the board TO take month
Or more to decide than for il to make
a haphazard decision which would be
rearetted. 1t is sometimes difficult
as well as embarrassing TO dispossess
an incompetent official from Office.
Geography should not enter into
the boards calculations. II vii
rnington corporation can find a better
executive in California than in Della
ware. the board of directors does not
allow Chauvinism to interfere; it takes
the western man. We certainly
should safeguard the education of our
children as carefully as we watch our
dollars.
II should not be forgot that the
chosen man, if efficient, is 10 BE- re-
tanned. Therefore he should not b.
too old to grow 10 his position. Nor
should ne be 50 young that he can
offer for inspection no record At All.
one point which should not be over
looked is his moral courage. and his
sociological and economic views. We
desire neither a parior Bolshevik nor
q sixteenth century reactionary; but
We do wish d man who understands
more than his job calls for-we want
. broad-minded executive who uol
only can direct the school activities
but who will be a leader IN The com
rpunity in all matters which pertain
to good government and good citizen
ship. Ne unhesitatingly state that
DR. Scott was such a man. and be-
cause We have experienced The bereh-
cent effects Of his direction of our
schools, We shall rpt l,e content with
superintendent of average ability
We want the best man for this post
The education Of our children is nc
tight matter.
