6 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, MARCH 26, 1921 WANT COUNTRY TOWNS TO NAME:SCHOOL HEAD Representative Castle Points Out the Reasons Many Voters Change in Selection of County RICKETS DID THIS. Desire Superintendent That Cook County's Superintendent of Schools should be elected by the voters in the county outside the City of Chicago is the belief of many res- idents in the suburban communities in this vicinity. Howard P. Castle, representative from the Seventh Dis- trict in the House of Representatives in the Illinois General Assembly ' broached the subject in the following communication : "I believe there is a pretty general feeling that since the county superin- tendent of schools of Cook county has little, if anything, to do with the Chi- cago schools, his time and that of his assistants being entirely taken with the supervision of the schools out- side of Chicago, that he should be elected by the votes only of the peo- ple outside of Chicago. As you know, |. it is practically impossible and always will be unless the law is changed to elect anyone county superintendent of schools, except some man from Chi- cago. "Section 5 of Article VIII of the constitution is as, follows: ""There may be a county superin- tendent of schools in each county, whosé qualifications, powers, duties, compensation and time and manner of election and term of office shall be prescribed by law. "In view of this provision, I believe it to be constitutional therefore for the legislature to provide by law that in a county like Cook containing a ci of 100,000 or more population, the superintendent shall be elected by the legal voters outside of such city, this being one of his legal quali- fications. "The bill will undoubtedly meet with vigorous opposition on the part of many Chicago members of the General Assembly and will have no hope of passage unless the people of the country towns get unitedly behind it and it shall receive the support of down state members."
