Want Counties
Retained AS The
Unit OF Schools
Superintendents Continue
To Be Opposed to Abol-

RALEIGH, March 29.-One of
the resolutions adopted by the
North Carolina Education assocl-
alton during its convention here
last week, which was more or less
overlooked but which is regarded
as significant, was the resolution
opposing any change in the pres
ent system with the county as the
administrative unit for the super
vision Of the schools of the state.
In other words, the resolution
means that the convention voted
to 90 on record as in favor Of
having one county superintendent
in every county, regardless of the
number of schools or pupils and
whether such . superintendent Is
needed CT not. For instance. there
is one county in the state. with q
county superintendent getting the
same pay from the state as the
other superintendent, in which
there are but three schools under
his supervision. There are other
counties in which there are only
four or five schools, but each Wath
a county superintendent.
There were two reasons, how
ever. for this resolution. it has
been learned within the last day
or two. One is that the 1888 gen
eral assembly seriously consider
ed :. bill introduced by Senator In.
graham of Randolph that would
! have divided the state into super
( yisorv districts, containing from
ono to four counties, depending
mon the school population, with
one superintendent to each dis
trict Senator Ingraham at first
nroposed to set up only 40 super
visory districts, thus eliminating
so county supcrintendents. He la,
ter revised the bill so it would
provide for about 60 districts and
snperintendents and maintained
that even then the bill would save
from $15O,OOO to 100000 a
wear as. compared with 1880 SUI
nervision costs. But the bill was
Iobbied to death by the county SUI
perintendents and the North Car

county superintendent, naturally,
do OF want a similar bill to come
I'D in the 1888 general assembly
and want to put the entire educa-
ton association, including the
teachers as we'll as superlntend'
ents on record as opposed to any
change in the present system.
Another reason for the adop-
ton of this resolution, it has been
learned was that there seems to
be q growing sentiment among
boards Of county commissioners IN
the state for a reduction in the
number of county superintend-
ents. Indications now are that the
State Association of County Com
missioners will adopt a resolution
at its next state convention, urg-
ing the 1885 general assembly to
enact q bill similar to the lr2ra-
ham bill and do what the 1888
general assembly refused to do.
There is no doubt that many OF
the boards of county commission
ers think that with the present
hard surface road system, one SUI
perintendcnt could supervise the
schools in two or three counties
as we'll as in one and that the du-
plication of expense under the
oro.opt cvctan, could he rpducp6
So the superintendent were
careful TO see to it that this reso-
luton against any change III the
present system of one superin-
tendent to each county, regardless
of whether he is needed or not
was inserted in the general list
of resolutions, so that the North

will be compelled to use its influ-
ence against any move to reduce
their number in the 1885 general
assembly.
There were many superintend-
ents, however, who during the
convention here did not hesitate
to advocate the abolition of many
state positions, jobs and even en-
tire departments in order to in
crease the pay of superintendent
and teachers.

and good looks may be acquired
by any miss who sets herself the
task of getting them. Intelligent
and persistent effort will work
wonders. Angles will become
curves, stringy hair may change
to lovely tresses" and eyes that
are nothing to brag about can be
transformed into those purple
pools the fiction writer's always
talk about.
But let's not forget this: The
first requisite of true beauty is
still what it has always been-a
forgetfulneSs of self. The old
saw, handsome is as handsome
does" is not so far wrong that
modern girls can afford to laugh
at it.
AS you may see by looking about,
men do fall in love with homely
women. They do marry and cher
ish them through the years. Physi-
cal good looks may be the bait to
catch a boys attention, but to
hold interest and gain his heart,
you must possess certain spiritual
assets, and often these are harder
to acquire than compilations and
curly hair.
