Education, Vol. 20

Excerpt from Education, Vol. 20: A Monthly Magazine Devoted to the Science, Art, Philosophy and Literature of Education; September, 1899,-June, 1900 There is one more aspect which is seldom considered in dis cussing the duties of the superintendent. The superintendent can make no greater mistake than by ignoring the financial conditions of the city or district under his supervision. What can we afford in the way of improvements, appliances and larger salaries? Is a question which Boards have to consider, and they ought to find a reasonable, wisely economical adviser in the person of their superintendent. The superintendent who is thus taken into the confidence of the Board of directors, and who shows an appreciation of the actual condition of affairs as business men look at them, has a hold on his position which he can get in no other way. The usefulness of the superintendent is vastly increased when as a business man he can look at things from a business man's standpoint.
