OPINIONS OF LE \DING EDUCATOES.
In regard to the need felt for supervision, as far back as
1872, State Superintendent Bateman, of Illinois, a distin-guished
and experienced educator, said in his annual report:
" I am persuaded that county supervision cannot be dis-pensed

obvious and manifold that it ought to have, aijd will have
a permanent place in the final adjustment of the working

its concurrence in this view% approving the report on school
supervision, presented by a distinguished Massachusetts
teacher, which forcibly presented and clearly showed the
value of the county superintendency."

that when a class of good 'schools is found well
managed and well taught, it is directly traceable to the work
of a good sujjerintendent."
