COUNTY SUPERINTENDENTS
Short Gap Period To Be Filled in 1O5
Counties in State.

Kansas county commissioners will
appoint county superintendents of
public instruction in all of the los
counties~of the state for a-ewo months
period when they meet in January.
The appointments are made necessary
under a law passed in 1921, which
provides that The term of county su-
perintendent shall begin July l of the
odd years instead of May I.
The new law leaves a two months
gap in the term of the superintendent.
1t lis likely that where new officials
have been elected that they will be
given the place for the short term.
