Excerpt from The Supervision of Instruction This changin g from year to year in personnel of the teach ing force is not confined to the ranks of city and town teach ers. It is also true of the county corps of teachers in the rural schools. In fact, if there is any difference, the country schools suffer most in this regard. Many teachers who are beginning to teach for the first time every year enter the rural schools. Then, too, many experienced rural teachers are new each year to the particular schools in which they teach. This fact increases the demand for more adequate supervision of the teaching forces of the rural schools, and is gradually bringing about an organization of counties into systems of units that are small enough to make adequate supervision possible. This type of organization gives the county superintendent a corps of supervisors similar to that which the city superintendent has who provides for assistant superintendents and supervising principals for the different wards in his system, and it surmounts one of the chief admin istrative difficulties that has so seriously handicapped the rural schools.
