Excerpt from Rural School SupervisionThroughout the. United States the county is the unit of rural-school supervision. Except. In the New England States and in New York, Virginia. And Nevada. In the New England States the township is the unit, city schools being under the same management and supervision as the schools in the rural territory included within the township lines. In sparsely. Settled portions of all of the New England States two or more townships may form a union super visory district. Each employing one superintendent who divides his time among the townships in the. Union. In New York State an arbitrary supervisory district has been formed, composed in each case of a county or a portion of a county. The State (new York City excepted) contains 57 counties and is divided into 207 super visory districts. Cities and union free-school districts having a. Population of or over, and employing a superintendeht of schools, are not included in these supervisory districts. In Vir ginia the unit of supervision is known as a division, and may be a city, a county, or a combination of counties. Eighty counties constitute one division each, the other 20 counties constitute 10 divisions. In Nevada the supervisory unit is one or more coun ties, the supervising officer is a deputy State superintendent of public instruction. Five such officers are employed, each having supervision of the schools in from one to six counties. Table 2, reprinted from a recent bulletin of the Bureau of Education, 1 gives data for each State relative to the unit of supervision and the method of selecting the supervising officer. It also gives for each State the unit of organization for administrative purposes, as the efficiency of the supervision depends in large measure upon the organization for management. In States where the organization for administration and the unit for supervision are the same, the supervising officers are working under conditions more favorable to success. In States where the unit of organization for adminis tration is, for instance, the local school district, and the unit of supervision is the county, the county superintendent has as many separate boards of school trustees to work with as there are schools in the county, having in many instances as many as 250 separate boards of trustees.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
