TO SCHOOL DIRECTORS. THE ELECTION OF SUPERINTENDENTS, In substnnco, the following article was prinlod in the April number of the school Journal throo years ago. Its advico and suggestions are as ap propriate now as then : Suporiniondonls of school are to be elected on Tuesday, tho 7th of May next, in nil tho counties of the Com monwealth, and in all cities and bor oughs having seven thousand inhab itants that desire to do so. Scarcely any other elections should so deeply enlist tho intcrost of the people V'e can afford bad government nnywherc el ho bolter limn in respect to our schools. Good schools make good citizens, and good citizens are ncccs injy to the very ojintetieo cf a Sluto. Pennsylvania has 900,000 children in her common schools and more than $'.1,500,000 are annually expended for the ptirposo of instructing them. Whether these children shall bo well instructed or otherwise, whether this vast sum of money shall he well or ill appliod, will dopend in good measure upon tho officers placed over tho schools at tho coming flection. Let whole communities sea to it that tho best men shall be chosen. Unless tho mode bo changed by an Act of Lrgixlaltiro before the limo, county conventions cf directors will ho culled to asecmhlo at the respective county seats, hy tho county supcrin. tcndonls now In offlco. Tho besi place for meetine is trcncrnlly the Court IIouho. ('it v and borough conventions will bo called hy tho proper board of directors or controllers in tho manner prescribed by law nt their usual place of mooting. Tho directors of cities and boroughs that elect superintend ents of thoir own cannot lake part in tha county conventions. The law docs not say ut what hour the conven tions shall assemblo, and tho local au thorities calling tho conventions must fix It to suit local circumstances. Ono o'clock, p in., is generally adopted as tno most suitable hour. It would be well for tho directors of eilies and boroughs entitlod to clout a superin tendent, but not now having ono, lo determine the question, whether they in . l. . nt . i-. T win i-iece mien uu ui.eer uiv jirciiim naif mcoting. The convention bhould organize by electing a president and secretary. Viet) presidents and assistant secreta ries may bo elected if dosircd. County superintendents generally huvo in tin r possession lull lists ot the mem ber! of the different boards of direo toi in thoir ronpoctivo counties, ajul wlfn this is tho caso, a list with tlio dhjjricts properly designated should be landed to the president of tho con vention. It should bo read, in order lli;i till errors may bo corrected, and IhJ, it may bo known who nro pies enii If tho county superintended caniiol furnish a list of the directors, sotdo ono from oauh district rcproKeti tctljshould hand lo Iho president tho nates of the directors in his district, frctfi which the secretaries should pre pare a roll, ond this, when culled, will shew who are present. In voting, thrinntno of each director must bo ditnlnctly called, and his voto rucoi ti ed ;i that is tho vote must he taken by yr.nt and ians. It requires not only a mtjorily ol the directors uofitg, bit L ol those present, to elect a superintend ent. Knowing who arc members, the convention is prepared to fix tho sala ry ol toe bfllco ol county superintend ent for tho coming term of throe years. It will bo found best In notirly every caso to fix tho salary before oloeling the offlcor. If several sums are named, tho volo should bo first taken tmon tho hii'liest. but if a ma. jorily of directors do not vnto Cor that sum, then tho volo should uo taken upon tho next highest, and so on, un til somo sum rcceivo a majority vote. This done, candidates for superintend ent can bo nominated mid voted for, until somo ono rcceivo a majority. Nothing further Is then to bo done, except lor tho president and secreta ry to make out ami sign the corliil cato of election In the lurm appended hoping that the girls will turn to un to this article, nnd forward it to tho gels beforo you will trust yourself to department. Jllanlts for this purpose , ono of them. A pretty thing you lepi will bo placed in the liniuls of llie sev eral county siipcrindents and tho sec retaries of school boards in all tho connly-tnwns. Tho following questions bhould ro ceivo careful consideration nt tho hands cf tho members of a convention about to elect a superintendent of schools i Il'nif qualification should a superintend tnt of schools posscus t IIVi at salary should be paid him T In answer to the first question, il mny bo said thnt such a superintend ent should possess certain physical Qualifications. No ono ran properly ischarge tho duties of Iho oilico who is not in the enjoyment of general good hotilih. Especially is this the cans with county superintendents who have lo visit schools in rural districts, and are consequently much exposed, Intellectual Qualifications.--As a test of Inlelleotual qualifications, tho law renders any one Ineligible to tho offlee 1872. of superintendent wbo doos ot pos sess ono of the following documonts : A diploma from a college, loyally em powered to grant literary degrees ; a diploma or Slato certificnto issued by tho authorities of a Slato Normal School; a professional or permunont corliScute, issued at least one year prior lo tho oloction ; s certificate of oompctenoy from tho Slato Superin tendent, or a commission us a conn I v, cily or a borough superintendent. In addition to (ho intellectual qualifica tions usually indicated by the posses sion of documents liko tho above named, a superintendent of schools should bo a broad, liberal thinker, a good speaker, a mnn of tact and of marked ndlnrlTlfTtlvrflrmJ", Moral Qualifications Tho law says no person shall bo oligihle to tho oilico "unless he has a sound, moral charuo ter." Tho very Ictlor ' of tho law should in this respect bo adhered to, and will be, so fur as the Department is concornod. Nor is it suflluicnt for a superintendent of schools to be guiltless of any gross "immorality." He should be a positivo worker for good ; if possiblo, bo should have all the moral qualities implied in the noblo expression; "a Christian gen tlemnn." Professional Qualifications. It is provided in the law, that a porson ennnot hold the office of Superintend ent of schools unless "ho hits had suc cessful oxporiunce within throo years cf tho timo of his election." The spirit of this provision is, that a su perintendent must be a profeasionnl teacher not a litwyor, doctor, minis ter or a member of "somo other profes sion dosiring lo hold the office until a wny opens to engage in something else. Tho office of superintendent of schools belongs to (he teathors, it has to do with teachers, and should always be filled by a teacher. If directors can find in a comity a teacher1 dovoted to his profession, who always attends in stitutes, w ho roads works on teaching, who advocates common schools, who, liko Richter, "loves God and little children ;" who, in short, is something of an enthusiast in his work, bo, iu nil probability, is the mnn to make a superintendent, even though ho has not been to college. Tho second question is a difficult one lo answer. Tho salaries of super intendents tiro now very unequal, and somo change in tho mode of fixing thetn has been thought desirable. With regard to cities and boroughs, tho plan now pursued is a very proper one, as they pay their stiperindonlcnts out of Iheir own funds; but with ro gard to the counties it leads to great irr.tgulurit.ie It is eonsidorod within tho power of the Slato Superintendent 10 change tho modo of paying county superintendents' salaries, and to pay tho superintendent of each county in whnlo and in caso tho irregularities which now exist become much great er, that power will be exercised. Superintendents ought to bo paid liberal salarios. Their work, whon well dono, is both delicato and dilll cnlt. Good ofliccrs can hardly he paid too much, and wo had better have none at all than poor ones. There is a hill relating to this sub jeel now pending in the Legislature. 11 niny or may not pass before iho holding of the conventions.

There is nothing more complicated than tho election of t'rosident and Vico- President under our nrcsent polit ical systom. How it could cvor linvo been devised Is a mystery. Theroaro few even among our most intelligent men who can explain from tho com mencement the manner in which a I'rcsidoiil and Vice President are elect ed, and the great mass of tho people nro profoundly ignorant. Wo propose here to trnco tho election up from its germs. First, thoro is tho primary town or local caucus for tho different parlies; then comes the county, dis trict and Slato convonlions; through that machinery delegates aro appoint ed to a national convention. Those national convonlions nominate candi dates. Thcso nominations, however, legally amount lo nothing. Each Slato clocls a number of Electors cor responding to its Senators and Repre sentatives in Congress, and they voto lor wnom llicy cliooso absolutely tor President und Vico-Prosidcnt. Thero is nolhinsr rcnuirinc It, cm to volo fur any man who has beon nominated, ex cept so far ai they may consider il Dinuing in honor. J ho Constitution intended that they should have tho first and final choice Its framers supposed that the Electors would bo among tho first men of tho country, and would be better judges of who would bo lit lor l'resinenl ana Vico President than their constituents, the people; benco they were made an in termediate body. In order to give those Electoral Colleges full iu thori ty, tbo Elector arc obliged to vote by secret ballot. Suppose, for Instance that Ohio should popularly cast iu twenty-two clcctorul voles for tho candidates who were in tho field, and supposed to be against Grant and hi colleague, "hut upon counting tha electoral votes thero might be a number for Grant. These voles would stand, and it would be next to or quilo impossible lo find out tho persons who have cast them airainsl the will of tho people. The United States Senator in this State ii voted for by the members of the Lceislaluro t't't'd voce, and if there is any betrayal of pledges the rospotisi lulity cannot uo dotlgiU. iiut there is no such security in our voles for President and Vice President. Il is lo tiio credit of the country thnt thus for in seventy years no elector, under tuu bhiclJ ol the secret ballot, has ever cast a vote iliilVrciit from that which it was intended by tho pcoplo ho should jrivu. Kut it mny happen in tho future. Our puli tics a re becom mg more corrupt, and if thero was a close voto in tho Electoral College between rival candi dates thero is no knowing what might happen. Tho electoral or intermedi ate system ought lo bo abolished. Alter the hlocloral Colleirn has met in each Stnlo on the first Wednesday of Ueconiber, nnd cast its vote, it sends a messenger with it to Washington. Early iu February tho votes of the States are opened ut a joint session of tno two Houses, the rroHiilcnt ot Iho Sennto presiding.' In caso ono candi duto bns a majority over all the others, ho is. declared elected. It not, the Seuate retires to its chain her, and tho House proceeds to voto for tho three highest candidates who had been voted for by tho Electors. The voto is not, however, according to the usual form, but is given by Slates. Thus, Now York is colled with her thirty-one members. They ask leavo to reliro, Sixteen of them direct that the vole of the Stale and il is only one bo recorded lor tho candidate running agtinst Grant. Delaware is called, which has but a single member, nnd ho casts ono vote, the snmo ns has been given by tho thirty. three gentlo men of tho l-!mptro Slato. EhcIi Slato hits simply ono voto, and a majority of tho delegation determines it. A majority ot till tho Stales, which are now thirly-scven in number, would bo nineteen, nnd thnt'is absolutely re quired. If tho volo should stand eigh teen for U. S. Grunt, eighteen for Judge Duvis, and ono Slato equally divided nnd castinc; no volo, there would ho no jchoico. On tho 4th of March tho session of Congress not only terminates, but the terms ol its mem hers cxpiie. In tho two or throo weeks they huvo to volo they may not huvo chosen any man lor I'icm dent. Tho IIousO has been, on one occasion, nine weeks in choosing it speaker, nnd it Is reasonable to ns sutne thai it Illicit ba lui'tta vruoUa and not elect a President. Then, wo hear tho reader inquire, who, on the 4lh of March, would bo President T Wo will further explain. When there Is nn choice for Proeident nnd no choico for Vico President, Iho United Stales Senate chooses the latter o Ulcer, i'y a wise provision in the Constitution, tho Sennto 'selects 'between tho fit'.) highest candidates voted for by the Electors. As the Scnntora vote indi vidually, a choico is almost certain lo bo made.

Vico President, tho person disclmrg ing llie dul ies of President does not hold llie full term, hul only till thu next annual November oloction, when a new President and Vico-Prusidunt will bo elected for four years. This Electoral system ought, to bo nbtil lulic! ; it !fords too great an oppor tunity for fraud to rolled thu wishes nud intentions, of the people. It is too con.plictitod. The Prosidenlia'l vote of iho different Slates could be indicated, nnd the Slntrt uiilomony preserved, hv volinit dircctlv for Pres ident and Vice President, nud then checking at Yuehiiitr,lnn a immbor ol J ding lo pur own power of self govern voles equal to our Senatorial and dclo uicul, is. luisiliicvoiis. gate representation. .' If this is not, done, wo shall upon somo fino morn, ing wake up and find ourselves elinmo fully bclrnyod hy tho men in whom wo have responded confidence as Elec tors. Tho law ought also lo be so changed that Congress could com nienco to voto early in tho session, in Decombor, for putting it off till tho middle of February renders the risk loo grcut that no choico at all will ba made. - .. Rut moro than all there ought lobo soma "provision mado for n contested ' olooiion.' Each Hon so is tho judgoof tho qualification and election of its own members in Congress, and in all the Slatos there is a provision by which a contest for Governor and oilier Stale officers is lo bo judicially decided Hut lor President, tho highest orfjco of tho Republic, with all its vast re sponsibilities, there is a silenco in tho Constitution and In the laws ot Con. gross that opens the door for tho most tremendous troublo, if not anarchy. Congress seenn to bo supreme in tbo counting of the votes. It seems to have the power to reject the vole of any Stuto at its pleasure. Thoro is no revising of its errors in tho Supremo Court, or any other tribunal. Hero un opportunity is given to a corrupt majority in tho Houso to throw out votes enough lo defeat tho will of the peoplo without any remedy. At tbo lust Presidential election iho voto of Georgia was not conntod, ond il was threatened also to throw out How York upon somo vague charge of fruud if lis vole had been docisivo of tho con test. This ought not to be permitted, Abovo all othor officers, thero ought to bo a method by which a mnn, con ceiving himself chosen Presidont,could legally contest iho choice of Iho com petitor, and in caso of buucoss bo put, in possession of iho ollieo.

A rntlier nmusiug story is in circu lation at Iho cxponso of tho eminent gentleman from Massachusetts, com monly called, "Old Strabismus." At tho President's levee tbo other night, which wus densely crowded, an old lady from tho interior somewhere, in a fainting condition, requested her liusbund to get her ail ico. ."Can't be did," respondod "hub," in somo irritation; "there niu't no re freshments hero."

"You'll find bim a little up nnd cross, but you must not r.iitid that; tell him to get you terrapins, ico cream, lemonade, or whatever you want, with a silver spoon U stir it with." ' This was said so gravely that the Iwo struggled through iho crowd to where General Jiullor stood talking t.it somo ludiua. I say, mister, I am told you aro tho butler," said tho man. "I'm General llutlcr," replied Old Strabismus, pleasantly, thinking tho two somo country peoplo tilled with admiration of his greatness. "I don't enro whether you aro tt general butler or not, but my wile wants somo terrapins and lemonado, with u silver spoon." "Sir f-' snorted old D. in nmacomcuL and disgust.
