The strong er the organization and the .more - effi• tient the direction the greater the stehievements. The deduction from 'this fact should assist in the solution 'of the rural school. ploblem. Efforts to improve rural school conditions have failed in every instanpe where there was no organized effort on the part of the teaching -body. The county superintendent must be consideredd in. any plan which has for its aim the improvement of rural' schools. The city school system has1 its superintendents, its principal and its supervisors, while the rural ass- tem of each county has a superintend- ent who must be all -seeing and all- knowing and have the winged heels of Mercury if she would perform a task corresponding to that of the city superintendent The county sup- erintendent is handicapped by the law both in what it demands and in what it fans to demand. The city superintendent must be trained, and educated. for his work, and wherever a city is able it also requires successful' experience; the taw neither provides for the train- ing of county siiperintendenns nor de- mands any qualifications for the office, with the result that in many instances the county superintendent Is not so well qualified for any sup - ervisory work as the poorer teachers under her direction.. The city may Pay its superintendent such salary as expert service demands, but the rural 'schools. are not permitted to pay enough to call Meets trained for rtiral service, and where they get enficieu icy * must be in a large measure gratuitous service.
