Superintendent’s Salary Bill Introduced In the Legislature.

A bill fixing a straight salary for all county school superintendents in the state was introduced Tuesday by Senator Greenwell. It provides for the election of superintendents by township trustees on the first Monday in June, every four years, the county auditor to cast the deciding vote in case of a tie. All persons who are eligible for school superintendencies either must have a three years’ state teachers’ license, a sixty months’ license or a life license, but in lieu of any of these requirements the superintendent would be eligible if he had six months’ experience as a county superintendent immediately preceding his election. The salaries of all superintendents are fixed at $1,408.50 a year, with the following exceptions: Brown, $1,000; Kalb, $1,300; $1,000; Scott, SI,OOO, and Union, $1,300.
