Constantly Rendering Courteous Servieej
Again I wisn to vnanit the people
of Titus County for bestowing on me
the privilege of working for the good
and improvement of the school sys-
tem of this county, and for your co-
operating with me and assisting me
in solving some of our school prob-
lems. 1 have studied to deserve the
j trust, and I have labored to acquit
j myself acceptably, according to the
, high challenge of the problems. it
I has been nn office of honor, and what
I is more, it has been a pleasure for
me to work for the welfare of the
children of this county. And now I
wish to submit respectfully my can-
didacy for re-election.
Solving the various problems of
the schools has not been an easy
task. I admit it took the better part
of mv first term to learr. the per
sonnel of each body of trustees, to
find their individual needs, ana to ad-
minister to these needs satisfactorily.
One of the mistakes I made when I
solicited your support in my first
campaign was that I told you that T
believed 1 1 new Titus County schools.
In that, to be plain, I was simply mis-
taken; I knew them only in a gener-
al way. 1 found that a teacher that
does a genuine piece of school work
for you must at least study his pu-
pils from every angle: as to their
needs, their environments, their socail
and economic advantages, and their
ambitions. I have observed that
where the teacher has done this, has
diagnosed the cases properly, and has
remained on the job for a reasonable
length of time, a great school was
the result.
Now this is no more true of the
unit school system than of the coun-
ty school system: the same process
of diagnosing the case and admin-
istering to it must be carried out
by the county superintendent. The
only difference is that the scale is
larger and more complex. There are
115 trustees in this county, which,
when grouped into working units or
bodies, make thirty-five boards made
up of these 115 personalities, all of
whom must be dealt with in
a satisfactory manner—if the child-
ren get the best results.
No ore will deny that the schools
are fur the children. It took me more
than one year to realize fully the
force of this truth, to realize that
the schools ought to be administered
for the convenience of the pupils in-
stead of for the teachers, and to
make what changes I could for the
benefit of the children. The time
lost was the children’s loss. Do you
think, with all other considerations
aside, that it is economically sound
to change the administration just
now ?
The school system of the State is
going through a process of recon-
struction; and since it cost the tax-
payers for me to learn the intrica-
cies of this process (as is always the
•ase when the administration is
changed), it would appear that this
experience you have already paid lor
night he utilized to good advantage.
Jur schools showed a need of $17,-
$72.00 in 1929, which is about $8,-
KJO.OO more than it was the first year
of my administration. If this need
nad been overlooked, the children
would have suffered a shorter term
>f school: and our terms are too short
it the best.
The rural child needs nine months’
choui, no less than the town child,
fes, longer if possible, because of
nis previous training. Not that his
training has not been good, but that
it is, obviously, impossible to do nine
months’ work in six and one-half
months.
Now, I do not promise to run the
school for nine months; but. if it
leaser you to retain me in this of-
ice another term, 1 shall endeavor to
maintain school as long as possible
:i this county, and 1 am confident
that 1 know how to present the needs
of our schools to the State Depart-
ment. Further, 1 shall endeavor to
maintain to the best of my ability
the harmony that lias existed for the
past three years.
I wish to speak further of this
harmony. There should be harmony
iot only between the personnel of the
uhninistration but also in the mech-
ni civ. nml ni’irflnivntinn 4Jv.' r*yf*
urn. It is essential to the growth
■f any school. 1 have conceived of
Pltus County schools as a group of
nterdependont units, properly stand-
ardized and functioning, competently
adjusted to the needs af the various

st.i:
communities, and all co-ordinating
harmoniously with each other, and
with higher schools.
Lastly, we have retained the same
State Superintendent for more than
three terms, and the standards of
the schools of the state have been
greatly increased. Then, Dallas,
Farris, and Travis Counties have
retained their county superintendents
for several terms, and they have
the outstanding systems of the
State. From the standpoint of vo-
cational teachers, we are one of the
outstanding counties in the State,
and I feel that we should continue
to develop in this line and in other
lines I have in mind.
Come in when you have the oppor-
tunity, and let’s talk over the school
problems.
Sincerely yours,
H. G. SMITH,
County Superintendent of Public
Instruction.
