Excerpt from The Development of a County System of Expert Supervision: Including Suburban, Village, and Rural Schools
In the year 1900 the supervisory force consisted of a superintendent and assistant superintendent, having the usual administrative duties of a county superintendent, and, in addition, having the financial and clerical work involved in accounting for all expenditures on the schools. These two officials visited each school twice a year, each devoting about one hundred of the two hundred days the schools were open to the work. No more was possible. The principal of each school was a teaching principal, responsible at all times for a class, and therefore able to do only the administrative work of the school, with no time for grade supervision.
The County Board of Education of six members, including farmers, merchants, and other men of affairs, soon came to see the necessity for more money and better supervision. The first step, after two years, was the employment of a clerk and stenographer. This gave the superintendent and assistant more time for visiting schools. Members of the board were taken with these two officials on their tours of school inspection just as often as possible, in order that the board might see and understand what it was possible to do to help the schools even in two short annual visits, and the importance of better supervision was constantly kept before them.
