J. G. DALE, Chairman.
THE SCHOOL SUPERINTEN
DENCY. Tho following remarks pertaining
to tho electing of School Superinten
dents of this State is from the pen of
Hon. J. P. Wickersham, in the laot
number of tho School Journal We
publish it at this time because ere our
next paper is generally circulated, the
convention will be over. Mr. Wick
ersham, Stato Superintendent, is the
highest authority in our State in mat
ters of this kind, and if his instructions
lu tho matter will do our directors any
good in making their choice, wo shall
not take the trouble of publishing it
into consideration :
Tho following questions should re
ceive careful consideration at the
hands of tho members of a convention
about to elect a superintendent of
Kehoold : What qualification should a
superintendent of schools possess? and
What salary should be paid him ?
In answer to tho first question, it
may bo said that such a superinten
dent should possess certain physical
qualification. No one can properly
discharge, the duties f tho oflice- who
is not in the enjoyment of general
good health. Especially is this the
case with county superintendents who
havo to visit schools in the rural dis
tricts, and aro consequently much ex
posed.
Intellectual Qualification. As a test
of intellectual qualifications, tho law
renders any one ineligible to the office
of superintendent who does not possess
one of the followiug document: A
diploma from a college legally em
powered to grant liteary degrees; a
diploma or State certificate issued by
tho authorities of a State Normal
School ; a professional or permanent
certificate, issued at least one year
prior to tho election ; a certificate of
competency from the State Superintend
dent, or a commission as a county,
city or borough superintendent. In
addition to the intellectual qualifica
lions usually indicated by the posses
bion of documents like the above
named, a superintendent of schools
should be a broad, liberal thinker, a
good speaker, a man of tact and of
marked administrative ability.
Mural Qualifications. The law says
no person shall 1m eligible to the oflice
"unless he has a sound, moral charac
ter." The very letter of the law
should in this respect bo adhered to,
and will be, so far as the Department
is couccrned. - Nor is it sufficient for
a superintendent of schools to be guilt
less of any gross "immorality." He
should be a positive worker for good
jf possible, he should have all the
moral qualities implied in the noble ex
jiression : "a Christian gcutleman.'
JrofriuioHul (juahtications. it is
provided in tho law, that a person
c annot hold the oflico of Supetinten
ilciit of schools unless "ho has had
sueci-ssful experienco in teaching with
in three years of the limo of h'u elec
tion." The rjtirit of (his provi.-ion i.,
that a superintendent must be a pro
fessional teacher not a lawyer, doc
tor, minister or a member of some
other profession desiring to hold the
office until a way opens to engage in
something else.
The office of superintendent of
schools belongs to the teachers, it has
to do with teachers, and should always
be filled by a teacher. If directors
can find in a county a teacher devoted
to his profession, who always attends
institutes, who reads works on teach
ing, who advocates common schools,
who, like Richter, "loves God and lit
tle children ;" who, in short, is some
thing of an enthusiast in his work
he, in all probability, is the man to
make a superintendent, even though
he has not been to college.
Tho second question is a difficult
one to answer. The salaries of super-
ntendcuts are now very unequal, and
some chango in the mode of fixing
them has been thought desirable. With
regard to cities and boroughs, the plan
now pursued is a very proper one, as
they pay their superintendents out of
their own funds; but with regard to
tho counties it lead; to great irregular
ities. It is considered within the pow
er of the Stato Superintendent to
change the mode of paying county
superintendents' salaries, and to pay
the superintendent of each county in
wholo or in part out of fie appropria
tion to that county, and in case the
irregularities which now exist become
much greater, that power will be exer
cised. Superintendents ought to be paid
liberal salaries. Their work, when
well done, is both delicate and difficult.
Good officers can hardly be paid too
much, and we had better have none at
all than poor ones.

A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.
The "Presidential year" Is always a
reading year with tho American people.
It Imposes extraordinary duties on Jour
nals from which the people may usual
ly expect not only the news of the day,
but Intelligent discussion of public ques
tions and enunciation of opinions. While
this is true In a general senso tho year be
fore us Is likely. In a political sense, to bo
one of unusun! interest) tho Democratic
party is breaking up, and tlieroiiro indica
tions of alliani-es and purposes altogether
novel in our politics. The elections of the
past year have resulted In almost an un
broken series of Republican victories.
General Grants administration has receiv
ed the nnqulvocal indorsement of tho
American people; and thcro is everv in
dication now that, as the Republican can
didate, ho will bo re-elected President. As
an Independent Republican Paper tho
CoMWKltciAi, will in the futuro, as ln the
p.vst, render an iindeviating support to
Republican Principles, holding that the
good of tho Republic requires that tho
Government should remain in the hands
of the party that saved it in the great llle
or death struggle. In the future as In tho
post it will speak Its own views regarding
men and mi ssures, holding that through
free discussion only can safe conclusions
be reached and thit indopcndciu'o of the
press preserved. In this regard we can
say simply that tho Commkiiciai. will bo
true to Itself and Its established character.
As a Newspaper, nothing will be spared
tn maintain tho position which the Com
mkiiciai, lias always held among the lead
ing Journals of the day, for news enter
prisoas well as for independent opinions.
This year, at home and abroad, will bo
foil of Interest. European politics are
agitnted, and the American reader will
likely find much in them tn attract his at
tention. At home all Is life ami push.
Railroads are being constructed every
where; new projects are almost daily pro
claimed; population Is Increasing; enter
prise intelligently directed was never so
well rewarded, and tho prospect for the
wondeiful activities of our country Is, to
snv the least, extremely encouraging.
With all these things thot'oMMKiu'iAi, is
Intimately identified, und as a Business
Paper, at the center of the greatest manu
facturing district on the continent, tuts
constantly in view whatever of interest
readers may reasonably expect to sco in
its columns, especially carefully prepar
ed market reports, mauulactuiing intelli
gence and general news, collected and
front abroad.
To our patrons wo havo only words of
ciicrr. ,t mi some our iciiucis c Hint'
held pleasant relations for years. It will
be our aim to doservo tho continuance of
these relations for nianv ears to come,
We feel proud in the fact that the Com
mkiiciai. wields an influence second to no
Journal in tho Slate. Its renders as a gen
eral thing are the tnltucntlal. Intelligent
classes. In a circle of hundreds of miles,
embracing nearly tho wholo of Pennesvl-
vania, much of Ohio, West Virginia and
States .lievond, it is the favorite in the
counting-house, tho oflice, the store and
the family.ospeclally el business and culti
vated classes. To hold this pluco will bo
