CHANGE BAD FOR SCHOOLS Btate Buperintendent Fowler Advocates Longer Terms for Buperintendents. THREE-YEAR CONTRACTS ADVISABLE John D. Maefariand, Prominent for Years n Aincoln Business Ma Dies at Los Angeles, California. (From a Staff Corfespondent.) LINCOLN, April 10.—(Special.)—Super- intendent Fowler declares that he is superintendents throughout the state. He says “The election of a superintendent tor a term: of three years tends (o make the pro- | tession of teaching more desirable, because less precarious, and therefore retains in the professlon the services of the mosi competent persons, and in my opinion the legislature very wisely left the matter to the sound discretion of the board. It may be urged that in some instances the autherity to employ a superintendent for two or three years may be used to forestall the action of the newly elected members or to defeat the will of the people, but eince only one-third of the members go out at a time, the danger Is not very great when compared with the advant Every power vested in public officlals is ltable to abuse. Official integrity of pub- lic officers is properly presumed. A desire on théir part for the prosperity of the #chools whose affairs they manage and a proper regard for the rights and opinions of the incoming members of the board can in most cases be relied upon with confi- dence.” Death of Old Nesidents.
