POSSIBLE SOHOOL CODE CHANGES,
Management of Schools Gradually Slipping
Away from Loosl Boards,
The report of the committee ap-
pointed last year by the Btate educa
tional association which met at Pitts-
burg, suggests a number of smend-
ments to the school code and chief
among theses is the proposal for the re
organization of the school system on
county units. The plan would call
for the election at large of a small
board of county directors who would
elect the county superintendent, levy
a county school tax, and generally
have supervisory powers over the lc-
cal toards. Other recommendations
urge a revision of the system of taxa.
