What Is Proposed to Take Its Place?
1t is proposed that the Legislature
create a State Boar dof Education
consisting of nine members who
shall be men and women of broad
capacity, of demonstrated ability, of
high reputation, who shall serve
without pay. The members of the
Board shall be appointed by the
Governor and not more than five of
them shall belong to the same politi-
cal party. This board shall have
the power to appoint the superin-

Methods of Choosing Superinten-
dents Among Various States
At present there are three methods
Of choosing superintendent among
The Mt. Sterling advocate., 1921-08-25

Section 81 Of the State Constitu-
tion provides that "a Superintendent
Of Public Instruction shall be elected
by the qualified voters Of the state
at the same time the governor is
elected, for the term of four years"
Section SO provides that "the Su-
perintendent of Public Instruction
shall be ineligible to reelection for
the succeeding four years after the
expiration of the term for which he
shall have been elected" Section
80 provides that "the election under
this constitution for Superintendent
of Public Instruction shall be held
on the first Tuesday after the first
Monday in November" every four
years.
1t is proposed to strike out those
portions of the sections quoted
above, SO that the Superintendent of
Public instruction will no longer be
a constitutional officer. This will
leave the Legislature free to create
the office of Superintendent of Pub
lie instruction to fix his qualifica-
tions, to prescribe his powers and
duties, to provide for the manner of
his election and to determine his ten
ure of office.

Objections to Present Plan

1. Manner of Election.-At pres
ent a superintendent must be nomi-
mated by a political party and
elected by a political party. Natural
ly the office has come to be regard
ed as a part of The political spoils;
too often it is politically admins
tered. ANY man who wishes to be-
come superintendent must make and
finance two political campaigns.
Most school men are unable or un-
willing to make two statewide po-
itical campaigns for an uncertainty.
Too often this prevents the best
qualified men from offering for the
position. There have been able su-
perintendents, il has been in spite
of the system and not because of it;
they have been exceptions, and not
the rule.
2. Tenure Of Office = Under the
present plan the superintendent
serves four years and cannot be re-
elected. This means that every four
years our educational policies and
plans win be changed. Successful
administration of our schools de-
pends upon continuity of admins
tration- There must be permanency
of policies and of plans. He is a
moor nractitioner who chanpes the

the various states:

(a) In thirty four states the su-
perintendent is chosen by popular
election.
ib) In six states the superinten
dent is appointed by the governor,
(c) In eight states the super;n-
tendent is appointed by state
Board of Edu"ation.
Twenty of the thirty four states
in which the superintendent is
chosen by popular election are now
agitating to change the method from
election by political parties to ap-
pointment by State Boards. 1t is the
universal opinion of school author
tiles, based upon. study and expert
ence, that of these methods the best
is appointment by State Board of
Education; the next best is appoint
ed by the governor; and the most
unsatisfactory way of selecting the
chief state school officer is by po-
litical party vote.

Broiied Fish.-Brolling over Goals or
under the gas flame until brown is
favorite way of preparing the smaller
fish. Fresh fish of one TO two pounus
size, or smoked fish, such as nnnah
haddie or white fish, are delicious
served In this way.
Wash the fish, split, season, dot with
fat, place on creased broiler anu
broiI until the flakes can be easily sep
nrated. If gas broiler is used, place
the rack several Inches below the flame
and brown. Sliced lemon makes an at
tractive garnish and gives additional
flavor and food value.
Boiled Fish.-Boiled fish is easily
prepared and, when served with a
well-seasoned sauce, is delicious.
Cook whole or, If too large, cut In
pieces. Cover with boiling salted wa
ter, but do not allow 1t to boil rapidly
as hard boiling breaks the fish. COOK
for ten minutes per pound. Strong
favored fish, such as carp, is improved
by adding half cupful of vinegar 10
the cooking water.

II desired, stuff with mashed pota'
toes, cooked rice, or bread crumbs well

and insert strips of salt pork or DOT
with fat. Dredge with fine corn meal
or flour, place in a baking pan and
cook till tender, allowing ten to twelve
minutes a pound. Sometimes hsh is
| baked in tomato sauce or in milk
enough to cover the bottom of the
pan.
Fried Fish.-Small fish may be fried
whole; larger ones should be cut into
pieces suitable for serving. Roll the
fish in corn meal or flour, or dip it IL
batter, or in bread crumbs, egg, ano
again in crumbs. Fry in deep fat, oi
in a small amount of fat in skillet
Fish fried in deep fat is less likely tt
be greasy than when fried in pan.
