SCHOOL HEADS WANT MORE PAY

HELD ANNUAL SESSION IN INDIANAPOLIS TUESDAY AND DISCUSSED WORK. t ■ . > a Salary increases for teachers and executives in the county schools will be proposed to the coming session of the legislature by the County Superintendent’s association of Indiana. About sixty superintendents attending a session of the association at Indianapolis Tuesday discussed the proposed increase as a step toward bettering the public schools. A committee will be appointed to confer with Governor Goodrich on the legislative program suggested by the superintendents.

The superintendents approved a bill to abolish the tecahing of German in the public schools. They declared that the present method of distribution of text books through county depositories, which buy books on a 12 per cent profit margin and pay the freight to the depository, is unsatisfactory, but made no suggestions as to changes in the system. Considerable discussion followed a report that Prof. W. W. Black, of Indiana university, would present a bill to the legislature asking that one of the qualifications of a county superintendent be that he is a college graduate with, a degree. No action was taken, but it is understood few favored the bill. Tljp superintendents are almost unanimous about extending the present qualifications for superintendents, but not to the point 'that Prof. Black’s bill is said to provide. The superintendents approved bills to provide for the establishment and promotion of classes to promote physical education, to establish junior high' schools, to create attendance districts in counties 'having more than 2,000 pupils, to amend the compulsory education law to require the attendance of children under 16 years of age upon part-time schools, de-: partments or classes having be&n established in any school district. In the discussion for increased salaries of county superintendents it was brought out that, with, the exception of Marion, Vanderburg, Vigo, Allen and Lake counties, the salaries of the superintendents are $1,4Q0.50, while in the “big five” the salary is $2,500 annually. We 'believe that the county school superintendent must be paid more money or this important office will not attract men of the calibre which the schools under his direction deserve. He Should be h college graduate and should be possessed with much executive ability. The rural schools will strive to reach the ideals of the perso nat their head. This is, of course, the county superintendent. Possibly many of the men now occupying this important position are being over paid. But the man capable of serving efficiently i® this capacity is worthy of much more than the present salary received by the county school superintendent. We favor a change in the manner of appointing ‘county superintendents, apd believe that the tenure of office should depend entirely upon the ability to serve.

OBITUARY.

Nancy J. Adams, daughter of Isaac and Ann Iddings Adams, was born in Miami county, Indiana, Aug. 4, 1848. Her parents had moved to this state from Ohio in 1846. She’ moved with her parents to Jasper county in 1858. <, On Feb. 14, 1867, she was united in marriage with William Hoover and became the mother of three children, viz: Alford A., William I and Frank L. With her husband she moved on a farm a few miles southwest of Rensselaer where together they shared the joys and sorrows of life for nearly fifty years and there they reared their family. About two years ago they erected a modern house here in Rensselaer. They felt that living near the church would give them the opportunity of regular attendance upon the services of the church, of which the constantly availed themselves. With her husband Mrs. Hoover united with the Methodist Episcopal church in 1884 at Neverfail school house, and during these years she has bee na devoted member. At the time of the death of Mrs. Jennie Wishard she expressed the desire that when the time came she too might quietly slip away and awake in the presence of her Lord. Her wish was . granted. Last Sunday she attended the services of the church, which she seemed always to enjoy. On Tuesday, the 17th, she was apparently as well as usual and planned to visit at the home of ofte of the sons the following day,. but some time during the morning of the 18th she peacefully passed to her eternal reward.'"* She is characterized as benevolent in spirit, a sympathetic -'nature, a real mothep-to her children and a devoted wife.. At the very great sacrifice" of her own strength she bore the burdens of others. She is survived by her husband, the three sons, Alford, William and Frank, three grand children, two sisters, Mrs. A. A. Griswold, of Washburn, Hl., and Mrs. Sara Beal, of Mhcon, Mo.,> one brother, Marion .1 Adams, of Rensselaer, and many friends. , , ,
