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,

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

superintendents' salaries, and to pay
tho superintendent of each county in

Superintendents ought to bo paid
liberal salarios. Their work, whon
well dono, is both delicato and dilll

The Election of President and Vice-
' President. ' '
' ' HOW CONDUCTED.
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

A rntlier nmusiug story is in circu

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

"Don't believe it. Didn't we got

ain't no refreshment's; everybody says
so," grunted Iho lord and muster.
"You nro quite mistaken, sir," said
the lion. S. S Cox, who happened to
bo near, nnd who nover loses an op
porlunity lo put in n joko. "Tho
President always provides substantial
ly. There is his butler, whojo busi
ness is to show ladies to tho supper
room," nnd the Hon. little jester point
ed to General Jiullcr. "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

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."
